Enchanted Kingdom: Magicalympics
It’s been four long years since I last visited Enchanted Kingdom in Sta. Rosa, 
Laguna. On May 10, 2009, once again I had the chance to spend the day at EK. How? I was one of the Bloggers who were invited to visit and experience the magical place. Thanks to Raredog who requested Azrael to send me the invite.
We were there to experience the “Pasyal Pinoy Promo” and the “Magicalympics” of EK. We had this team building with 5 teams competing with 10 members each. It is similar to Amazing Race where we have to finish a task for the next pit stop. It was so tiring but really exciting, especially when I had to ride on those thrilling rides! My group got the 2nd place. Yipee!!!

We also watched the summer special musical show entitled “Enchante’ Under the Sea”. It’s their production which I found very entertaining. The performers were great and the production is amazing. And of course the day won’t be complete without the fireworks display. Not to mention the nice and accommodating peeps of EK.

I brought along my 5-year-old son (it’s Mother’s Day) and her yaya (who’s also a mother) as my treat to them. My son was so happy and keeps on saying we have to go back to EK. J I’ll surely recommend this “magicalympics” to my company for our next team building activity. Thanks and more power to the management of Enchanted Kingdom.

Team Building at the Forest Club
bamboo rafting
Every year, our company is having Team Building Activity to develop the camaraderie of each one of us. This year, last May 8 & 9, we had it in Forest Club in Bay, Laguna. This is quite exciting for me, because for the first time I was one of the participants. Yehey!!! (Because for the past years, I am one of the game masters who facilitated the activity).
The games were really physical which I didn’t even think that I can do. There’s this obstacle course that we had to crawl on a mud and run thru the tires. Crossing a log and single parallel rope without falling or else you’ll soak into a pond. Have to traverse a 500 meter-bamboo bridge to conquer our Acrophobia. And also there is this bamboo rafting race, and many more. The place also has a hot-spring pool and Jacuzzi which we enjoyed over the night. We had bountiful and mouthwatering foods on our whole stay. Everyone was happy (though there are some injured), and thankful to the people behind the activity. Hope there will be another one next year.

Manny Pacquiao Beat David Diaz By TKO
I just finished watching the “Lethal Combination” about an hour ago. And once again our very own Pacman did it again after winning the said fight. He won over Dangerous Diaz after Technical Knock-out on the 9th round. Manny reached his dream to be the first Filipino as well as the first Asian to have the 4 World Title in Light Weight Boxing. He just made a record!!!
I am just too lucky to watched it earlier than the rest of the people here in the Philippines. Thanks to the person who shared his HBO Pay Per View over the internet. And to you Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao… Mabuhay!!! Once again you made the Filipinos proud!
