An Event Called Death

The event at school finished around 8 PM, we had our dinner @ Keepsakes. The staffs of the event and other production team had their dinner at the same place as ours and we felt like the after party was held there, but it is a total coincidence.

We had a small chat and the UMFF people dominated the whole restaurant. Days before the premiere night, the squad wanted to have fun at the Mary Rose Carnival at the downtown area. People are so busy that we haven't found any time to go and have fun. After the dinner, the whole SLP squad decided to go at the Carnival. Nakulayan na po sa wakas ang aming DRAWING.

Sea Dragon, Roller Coaster, Octopus Ride, Bump Car and other rides were there. Not everyone is brave enough to ride all of it. 5/11 tried the Sea Dragon, 8/11 tried the Roller Coaster and 5/11 had fun during the Bump Car Ride.

You can't tell if you haven't tried.

I really am nervous to cut of my life for just 50 pesos, but they told me that it is safe etc., etc., I wanted to experience the rides because I don't want to be ignorant on those kinds of things. So I faced my fears and tried the scary rides, Sea Dragon & Roller Coaster. When I reminisce that day, I will just laugh and smile, but when I go back and experience that ride again, I will not bet on it.

Sea Dragon. I love the feeling of swinging, back in my childhood days where we really had fun at the playground area near our house. The Sea Dragon is way different from that kind of fun. Going up is pleasing while going down is the horrible part. It's like an event called death. In a movie where the soul departed from your physical body, I had that kind of feeling. I seated next to Tryxie, she went pale and it looks like she collapsed in the middle of the ride. I slapped her cheeks while shouting, thankfully she was awake. I closed my eyes almost the whole duration of the ride, my tears are falling but not that much.

I finished the ride of course, but swear I will not do it again. I think.

Roller Coaster. I don't feel safe. It is not fun at all.

My low key friend decided to seat at the front including me. I picked her up to be my seatmate because I think she's brave enough. But I definitely picked the WRONG person. This time, I shut my eyes the whole time. I feel nauseous whenever I open my eyes. This ride needs a lot of strength. We keep on circling around and the worst part is when it goes sideways. The wheels feel like it will depart from the railroad.

I gave all my strength to hold at the steel in front of me to prevent from falling while my seatmate is hugging my right arm to hold on to. WTH is the only thing I was thinking during that time. What a great team up right? I shouted at her because I really am struggling. She then keeps on shouting, laughing then eventually let go of my hand.

A ride that I can't brag about.

This smiles faded after the ride.

It is fun. Nerve-wracking experience. Total bond with my friends. Most of all I am thankful that I was able to tell you this story. I can still live my life to the fullest.
