Several Instances where I visit this area: 2 teambuildings with former projectmates. And lastly, I visited Lucban to experience Pahiyas Festival with my mom and sister and few friends. I was fun and no regrets that I miss a day in the office. It was on leave with no pay.

Enchanted Kingdom

It was normally tough for me to wake up in a rainy Saturday mornings. Times like this, my back is normally glued to my bed. However, this particular Saturday is different. My previous team has planned for weeks to have a teambuilding in Enchanted Kingdom. I think this is to celebrate a major completion of one wave of series of big projects.... And there’s no way that I can stood them up. It is my only chance to do an activity like this with them since I transferred to another team.

Assembly time in Glorrieta Mall in Makati was at 9:30 am. I went home the previous night at 2:00 AM, which means I only managed to sleep for 5 hours. That’s way below my average. :)

At 10:00 the shuttle left the parking lot at the back of the mall to head to Santa Rosa, Laguna.

It is about 1 hour ride from Makati with one stop over, making it an ideal place for activities like this. We arrived before 12:00 noon. We decided not to have our lunch yet, we had two rounds with bumped cars and a ride on a caterpillar… that was so juvenile fun!!!

Then, we had lunch, we rested for a while, then we tried some more rides. Then the ultimate challenge is on. Should we try the Space Shuttle? It is the Vecoma Boomerang Rollercoaster. We were 20 all in all and only 5 of us dare tried the Shuttle. I would say it was not that bad, it was really fun actually. We waited for the firework display at 8:00 PM, then went home an hour after. I have no idea theme parks could be this fun. I used to see theme parks as waste of my precious time. :)

Surprisingly, it was in carousel where I felt dizzy. :)
