now, it isnt just my heart thats bruised.. look:

i woke up this morning feeling rather disappointed. im still alive. sigh. although last night was fun, as duds said it would be. euro star definitely helped me survive another night. but every time the screaming fades, i could hear my heart breaking. no matter how much i enjoyed the carnival and the company of some friends, nothing made me forget about what is bothering me... but i dont wanna bore you with my depression. we should discuss the famous Euro Star Carnival....

i should mention that before i went there, i first googled it to help me decide whether or not i should go.. coz, it was supposed to be a post-valentine surprise for that someone.. i had it planned for over a week.. then poof! gone. i ended up being with other friends instead. anyways.... there's no point mentioning things that didnt even occur. just like not having to mention in the newspaper those millions of people who didnt win the lottery so there.. most of the search results led me to blog sites. bloggers unanimously have claimed all rides to be death-defying.. and some even say there's this one ride thats definitely life-changing. well.. let see..

BOOSTER
this was my first ride. its major fun.. except that im so tiny that my body practically went "everywhere.." it hit everything it can. it was physically painful on my part. but being on this ride.. damn. it made me want to be the wind.. no, its safer to say this: it felt heaven that i just had to close my eyes and just savor the moment. but isnt it that even with eyes closed, you can still see some light? it was beautiful.. although afterwards, it somehow made me feel a little wobbly.. still, it was beautiful.

FLIPPER
my second ride. the minute it began, i just started laughing. really, the ride is funny. nakakahilo nga lang.. but it was partly my fault coz my eyes were open. this one was not at all scary so if youre a bit lily-livered, this ride wont be a problem at all. you can do this one. trust me.

BUMP CAR
aha! as a kid, i was never a fan of bump cars.. coz i always ended up being stuck. but now that i can drive already, ive learned to enjoy these things!! and i just lurve bumping here and there then being able to "escape.." its lovelier to speed first then target a friend to bump with.. and then you both laugh.. the kids now are better than during my time. so beware of them.. hehe oooh, i love it.

FLUME WATER.. erm.. i dont remember how its exactly called.
this one's similar to EK's Log Jam. it wasnt as terrifying as the other rides.. actually, it was NOT terrifying at all. but it felt good every time the water splashed. we had this for like more than 10 times maybe.. i dont know, i didnt count.. but every time my friends and i got tired, we just headed there or to the bump cars to rest and still have fun.. but we also tried the ferris wheel and carousel for relaxation..

FERRIS WHEEL
damn was it huge! here, youre allowed to ride without emptying your pockets.. you will not be asked to leave everything in the baskets provided for your belongings.. this means, here, you'll have a chance to take picture-picture!

CAROUSEL
okay, i regret having ridden this thing. it just made me dizzy. but then again, pwede ulit mag-picture- picture dito. so masaya na din.

RANGER
definitely one of the best rides. everyone says its similar to EK's Anchors Away (siguro kasi boat din yung design) except that it makes a 360-degree turn.. so there are literally "upside-down" moments.. one helluva ride.. but personally, i found this milder as compared to the other rides. pwdeng ulit-ulitin. ranger and booster are actually my favorites!

JOKER
no comment, i was such a loser.. a chicken! i didnt try this one.. it could accomodate only up to 8 people.. and the ride is very "open" so it scared me to bits. now, you can laugh. hehe. according to my friends who tried it: "masarap." ill try to go back on or before the 28th and hopefully by then i already have the nerves to try this one out.

HOUSE OF HORROR
if your companions arent fun to be with, then you'll find this lousy. remember the horror booths you had during your high school fairs?? those are more frightening. euro's house of horror will not at all scare you unless you and your buddies start scaring each other. you have to trick your mind to feel the "horror" and be scared.. then scream a bit, too. and laugh out loud. me and my friends had fun doing this. it lasted prolly for less than two minutes but i must have laughed a lil too much coz when i got out of the house, my abdominal muscles were hurting as if ive done 300 crunches! haha, just exaggerating of course.

GAME BOOTHS
before leaving the carnival, you should at least play some games. my friends and i had so much fun laughing at each others stupidities and all that. we were lucky, the people who were supposed to be just passing by decided to watch and laugh at/with us, too.. after watching, perhaps they thought we were so silly for not winning at all so they ended up buying tokens for themselves and decided to show us how it is really done.. aha! they just gave us the chance to laugh back at them. boohoo!! fun, fun, fun!

there were other rides, too.. particularly for the kids.. they have a tiny version of EK's Flying Fiesta and Anchor's Away but only for the kiddos.. i wanted to try them out but but but.. maybe next time. if there'll be a next time.

here are some pictures:

he said its going to be fun.. heck, it was more than fun!
