Star City

Star City






So long and goodbye, Star City. I don't know what got into my mom's mind when she bought us a ticket here but thinking about it now, I can't be more thankful that I at least was able to go before the whole place burned down. 







annex





This is where the scariest ride is(for me). The Star Frisbee. Also where we queued the longest, I guess. The rest of the ride is pretty unremarkable. Like,  I guess I have my new favorite ride. But nothing beats Zyclone Loop. Where my OG Star City peeps at?







So happy that even though my real sister wasn’t able to join us, my fake sister was able to come! 







Now time for a rant. Okay so...there’s this new system that lets you check in your bags or else you can’t ride. They charge 20 pesos per hour and so my sister checked in both our bags in one locker and my best friend Jie checked in hers to another, right? When we came back, after like an hour and a few minutes, they can’t seem to recover my sister’s FACE ID so they let the few minutes go I guess. But let me just clarify that the few minutes extra the allowable time was actually because the people in front of the line took so long despite the person in charge there accommodating them and stuff so yeah. Then! When it was time for my bestfriend to claim her bag, she was charged additional 40 pesos for the overtime! Now, I don’t know if our overtime fee was charged to her as well but I doubt because there were 2 persons in between them but yeah whatever happened to that, NO LIKEY. 







Star Flyer




Wild River






He’s probably the CEO or something 




The Scariest haunted house in the park. There were three before but only two left when we went and this was the scarier of the two. 




Aye Aye




My sister pointed out how unkept this ride is pretty much the whole ride and it’s just sad. 






Ice cream to cool us down a little bit


We went inside here as well. We kind of enjoyed here and agreed to compete with each other.  












It’s unfortunate what happened to this park. We’ve spent a lot of after-parties here as a high school student so yeah I’m sure they’d renovate and stuff but it will never be the same. Yun lang. Ciao!

Star City with babies

Star City with babies






The guardians. Since it's been a while since I got together with my cousins, I decided to gather the kids and go to an amusement park with the eldest "cousin" and Bestie.











My fave. I don't know if I shared this but you know in this blog yet but Peter Pan is actually my ish. 










Then we queued for the classic giant sway boat and yeah. My sisters are actually okay with rides. Our two teenage cousins though. Hahaha they were cute.  










To sort of calm the situation, we decided to walk thru this maze first before riding any big rides. 










I think this might be one of the few times I was able to hang out with my cousins (left side) because usually when our families get together, we usually just eat and often times we dine separately, you know. Like, different tables and stuff so even though I didn't get to hang out with 3 other cousins, 2 of them being extremely young to hang-out and 1 celebrating his mum's birthday, this day is phenomenal. 










Pirate stuff is also my ish. I wish they would widen the ride and come up with more surprises though. 











Surf Dance, I noticed kind of shortened its running time which I didn't like. I mean, it used to be my favorite-ish but now, not so. It's still good though. 











Sisterly love. I guess I'm lucky to have a bestfriend that my sisters treat as their own so we're like a family there. 













sister and bestie











There are a lot of new stuff in Star City and I was happy to be able to roam around and try. 











Besties since 1996. True story hahaha. Well with my cousin and bestfriend, it's been around almost 8 years now so yeah it's been a while for us all. 










The view from the gondola is beautiful with all the lights on. I don't know, it's coming of age or something but I am enjoying slow rides more nowadays. Like, relaxing rides. 










Trying out this Korean craze. Confused as I am, I think it's better to try it yourself. 









Also, there's this new annex that has some awesome rides.







Annex







Too bad Cat wasn't able to insert herself here. This should be like all of us. 







Christmas Lights




Our last ride 







Even though this is maybe for 2-3 years old, our big old group still rode this and it was kind of embarassing but still, you gotta do what you gotta do. Ciao!

Today, just because I like the thought of it, Imma do it. Like, ain't it nice? LOL. Basically, I'm gonna take pictures directly from my phone, Instagram it, then post it here. The good thing about Instagram is they actually automatically save a picture that you applied filter to back to your picture file again. And this time edited already. Good thinking.


This particular picture is already pretty as it is but with some random filter, VOILA.


Hashi is just love! I mean, how can you even resist that charming cute face of hers? I don't even know.


Sisters at Star City. What the eff with our faces though? LOL.


My sister's cake! I actually don't know why but my mom really fancies this particular flavor. Whether it is the only available flavor or not that time, I don't know.

Star City Visit.

Star City Visit.
So it was my sister's birthday the other day and since she really has that something in her that doesn't allow us to kind of go further out the city, we stayed. Like, last year, we were supposed to go Baguio to celebrate her birthday and what happened was our car broke so my mom backed out and this time we were actually supposed to go to Laguna for some hot spring goodness but then again my youngest sister and I have some stuff to accomplish so we can't. Life.


So basically, my sisters and I went. Like, as always. Youngest sister not amused. LOL. Remember my cousin's pink lipstick? Well this is the red version of it.


Cousin being evil and put that demon thingy on my sister's head. Or like, peace sign? IDK.


Sisters! Love love love. As you may have noticed from the background, the park is themed Halloween so the reception kind of looked nice.


The reception might actually appear crowded but not really. Like, we hardly queued. and by that I mean, not more than 10 minutes or so of waiting for our turn to ride. Except probably STAR FLYER. But not by much.


I'm not really a fan of Peter Pan so I basically don't know who this guy is. But must take pictures. You know. Okay serious stuff now. The first stuff we actually rode was this ride right here.


I swear it is up to no good.

The thing is we usually go for the milder rides first before the main attractions so after this ride, we were all dizzy as eff. Like, seriously. I'm not sure whether it was just us or whatever but this stuff I can only ride probably once a year. Like, I can't even explain.


The ride basically goes round and round up above and stuff.


It is a relatively new ride and so people are probably just trying this one out. But I promise you! It's UP TO NO GOOD. 


It's kind of scary  but it really makes you so so dizzy afterwards. We kind of regretted riding it first because we didn't have enough energy throughout our stay. But then whatever. 

We noticed how people are not coming back to ride this ride again because at the end of the day, not a big deal anymore. I guess. I actually honestly think that this ride is really meant to make people dizzy. No more purpose other than that.


This is the second thing we rode. Which is our bad luck number 2. Since we were dizzy from the colorful thingy that we rode first, we can't even. Plus! They had to stop the ride at the middle so to unload a dizzy passenger. And so the ride operators decided to restart the time and so we were there for like FOREVER.


We entered all the horror houses almost twice. Oh look! Youngest sister not amused once more. Waz wrong though? And then we had dinner! 


Yup! Chicken everyday. LOL.


And we had some ice cream too.


I'm actually impressed on how there are details added to the rides. Like they added Madagascar on this roller coaster and Pirates on the anchor ride. There are then two pirate rides. Sort of. 


Youngest sister not amused hahaha. And this is us in front of the Pirates ride. 


I don't know what happened to this picture but anyways. Me likey.  That's all! :)
