Magic begins here, the entrance post said.
Last March 7, my friends and I decided to celebrate two birthday parties at Enchanted Kingdom. It may not be an overseas travel but the moments we spent together founded the great friendship among us friends. The birthday celebrants, Gia Pajarillo and Camille Rivera, planned the date and the details while the rest helped out with expenses. There were a lot of people who came and the crowd was pretty hard to accommodate but in the end it turned out to be the most awesome friend bonding time in my whole 16 years of life.
The day started with hanging out at my house. In those few months remaining of that school year this zombie-escape game called “Left 4 Dead” was very popular. Everyone who waited at my house for the rest to arrive played it except Grace Bajo who was extremely scared of this boss zombie that moaned scarily. It was very enjoyable because the first person to come arrived so early! He came at 6 in the morning while the rest arrived at 9.
We went to Starbucks afterwards to wait for the rest to arrive. It was the start of the day, and everyone had no idea what was in store for them. They had no idea of how memorably awesome the day will become, just sitting on their chairs sipping on our frappucinos and some coffee.
After collecting everyone, we went on our car trip to Enchanted Kingdom. Usually in our family trips, the car ride is usually the transitory phase where everyone just rests and waits for the arrival. As the rebels of being conventional, we made the trip fun by cracking jokes, sharing music, and singing along even if we’re out-of-key. We’d laugh about it afterwards and even dare each other to do crazy stunts with the cars we don’t know that we’re driving with!
We arrived at our destination with red cheeks and sore stomachs from laughter. And to think that we only just got here! We went on rides and tried our best to contain our inner childish desires and to be well composed. We took away inhibitions like rules. We sat on the railing like radicals who disobeyed the “no sitting” sign and we felt awesome. Some of my friends rode the Space Shuttle that day. When I saw that insane ride go from top to wherever it went and go back backwards, I felt like my stomach twirled into knots. No force on earth could make me ride that free ticket to fainting.
Joanna Kennedy on the other hand, had plans for me. Of course, before you go to the main course, the Space Shuttle, she need to soften my heart into going into heart thrilling rides like the Log Jam and the crazy Anchor’s Away. I am utterly impressed with myself for being able to ride it, even if they used illegal ways to make me ride it. To name some, they used guilt, awkwardness, and the good-friend card. In the end, I ended up riding the Space Shuttle for nearly 7 times. My first time was with Joanna beside me while I scream away all my manliness from the face of the earth. After that, I got to convince Gia, Grace, and even for Camille to ride it! It was extremely amazing
In one point of the ride, you’ll be facing the sky with all its beauty and majesty and its dark gloom illuminated by tiny specks of light. It was beautiful. It was even more memorable because beside me were my friends, who by their grip showed their trust, loyalty and love for me.
After getting everyone to agree to keep going on the the Space Shuttle, they had to close off the ride for a few minutes because the fireworks were going to start in a few minutes. We stopped by the food court and ate. Sitting down, I realized it wasn’t mainly the rides that we enjoyed. Hanging out together as friends, handling things on our own and appreciating each other’s company. A lot of magical things happened that night. That night after dinner, we were watching the beautiful sky glow with bright lights as it certified the end of one of the happiest days of my life. That night after dinner, we all wondered if we could still hold on to this day for only a few hours more until we can officially say that March 7 was over. That night after dinner, we decided to have a sleep over at my house and miraculously, many were allowed to go.
We keep this day, even now, as a story or a memory we will never forget. We remember it as a day where we cared about nothing and cared about each and every one of us. One of the things that satisfied me was that I felt the freedom of being parentless and handling things on my own. I can hardly remember the rides and the routes we took to get to wherever we went, but their company and friendship was embedded in my heart and I will take these memories of mine forever. I love you guys. :)
