Sugar Rush at Enchanted Kingdom

by Corrine
The magic stays with you! :)

Saturday was spent with Babe and his family. We went to Enchanted Kingdom and the park was open for Smart employees only. Babe’s sister works at Smart. :)

Cute :)

The last time I was at EK was back in 2009. Nothing much has changed although there’s one new attraction–the EKstreme. I’m not sure if that’s how you spell it, by the way. You have to pay an additional Php80 to get to ride this.

Four lang kami sa ride! :o

I was terrified, I tell you. We were pretty high up! The “thing” will ascend slowly and come plummeting down fast. What was more terrifying was trying to guess if we were set to descend or what. Php80 for that short of a ride is pretty steep. Anyway, we tried to get on as many rides as possible. But of course we prioritized the “classics”–Space Shuttle, Flying Fiesta, Rio Grande, Log Jam, Anchor’s Away and Dodgem.

All wet!

I initially didn’t want to get on any ride that would get me wet since I didn’t bring extra bottoms with me. But not wanting to be labeled baduy or KJ or even miss a wacky moment with everyone, I gave in. During the Rio Grande ride, I chose the seat with the least water on it. That was a bad, bad call because I was the first one who got wet. The waterfall? Oh the waterfall! I went right under it! Darn. Good thing Babe’s sister had extra shorts. :)

While on the Anchor’s Away ride :)

On our way home from Enchanted Kingdom, “Nothin’ On You” started playing in the background. Then out of the blue, the boyfriend said, “B pakinggan mo ‘yung song.” I knew what he was trying to say, especially when he sang along to the chorus. ♥

I know this is irrelevant, but what can I do? I’m all mushy and gooey.

Style Highlights from V

by Corrine

I love Vanessa Hudgens’ style. I love anything breezy and loose. Her bohemian vibe is infectious. She reminds me a lot of Nicole Richie’s style way back. :)

The over-sized cardigan. <3

I love Vanessa Hudgens. This outfit of hers from this year’s Coachella is love. What she wore last year was equally cute, by the way. I still remember what she wore. Haha!

She’s bringing the bell-bottom jeans back! I like her face here. :D

My Alaska

by Corrine

“What you must understand about me is that I’m a deeply unhappy person.”

It’s taken from a book by John Green, “Looking for Alaska”. I haven’t read the book yet but seeing this unassuming but powerful sentence in Tumblr made me want to buy this book ASAP.

I don’t know what it is it about me and unhappiness. I feel like I was born unhappy. Not wanting to sound too melodramatic, okay? But I really think there is this deep, gaping blackhole inside me that sucks the happiness out of me. I can’t sleep at night because of this–because it hits me like a bullet–sadness or misery, that is. It keeps me up at night, driving my tear ducts on overdrive.

Here comes the ubiquitous ”sigh”.

Maybe it stems from an incident in my childhood? No, I’d like to lock that scene away and keep it in my closet forever.

Maybe it stems from my failure to make the lives of the  people I love, well, better? Gaaaah. I don’t know.

Or maybe because nobody listens anymore. About the things I’m passionate about, my silly dreams and endless frustrations. I wish everyone could read between the lines, no?

A Thought

We don’t fear love. We fear the pain that follows.
