Singapore Series: Universal Studios

Sometimes when you want to get away, the perfect solution is to not be in one, but in SEVERAL make-believe worlds :)

While Disneyland is a kid's happiest place on earth, Universal Studios is for the kids and the kids-at-heart (aamin na, kasama na kami dito :D)-- specifically those who have a fascination for movies and who can't help but be wowed by the brilliance of film-making.

My friends and I were definitely looking forward to this experience because we're major movie buffs, and maybe we can say this about majority of the Filipinos, we appreciate world-class entertainment!

Well enough introduction, come and see USS through these photos :)




USS is made up of seven zones: Hollywood, New York, Far Far Away Land (Shrek and Fiona's castle!), the Lost World, Madagascar, Ancient Egypt and Sci Fi City (Optimus Prime and Bumblebee!) :)






We were so ready to be wet at Waterworld (duh :P) with our raincoats on.  In fact, you have to be because there's a soak zone, so if you find yourself seated there, bawal pikon, you just have to laugh it off when you get splashed with water and enjoy the show! Waterworld is one of the famous attractions at USS because they simulate action scenes as seen on movies, complete with explosions, airplanes and guns.










Our favorite attraction is the Transformers Ride which we rode twice. They call the riders "Freedom Fighters" because you will be fighting the bad guys alongside the Transformers :) 




Presenting... Optimus Prime and Bumblebee! Aside from the map of USS, be sure to check out the schedule of the shows and attractions, so you can take photos with your favorite characters like these two right here :)










Hey! Universal Motion Dancers at Universal Studios!?? Couldn't have asked for a better fit! Haha! :) We were a proud bunch of Filipinos when these guys came on because they're really talented. By the time they finished the show (street and break dance), the street was packed with curious onlookers, watching these guys :) Good job, guys!





Hindi na kami nahiya kay Marilyn! Haha! 
That was her idea by the way, for everyone to pose and blow a kiss. *Mwah Mwah tsup tsup*


 

Candy-licious! "Be a vegetarian, eat candy." Well said, well said.



We spent an entire day at this theme park and still, we weren't able to squeeze in everything! So be sure to be there by 10am and line up first on the main attractions (Transformers, Waterworld, Revenge of the Mummy, Rapids Adventure, etc) That map really does come in handy. :)

Passionately Curious

Here is the post I wrote years ago! I echoed here what I learned from the 2 speakers, Tricia Gosingtian and Ana Santos. Tricia is a fashion blogger, so there's a part of the event in which we all had to pick out and model the outfits from Bayo then Tricia picked out winners from the attendees. So the event started with that then went into the specifics of fashion blogging then writing in general. :) Hope you'll pick up a few writing nuggets! Happy reading and writing!

It's Perfectly Fine Not to Say Anything

Last weekend, we went to this Starbucks branch in Tagaytay and it was really lovely. It was situated below a steep driveway, and unless you know where to look, it would be quite easy to miss. But it's a spacious lot -- with glass doors, paintings, couches, benches and wooden architecture -- it may just be my favorite Starbucks by far.

He says, She says (Part 3)

Ligawan Stage So this is the part where Dennis already laid down his intentions, and I said yes to courtship.  I’ll share here the things we learned and what God taught us during this season. Hope this encourages you! Dennis told me to share his insecurities in this blog because he thought that it would encourage the men out there. Some of his insecurities were:
