Let’s look for circles in ENCHANTED KINGDOM. But before you do, let me just share a bit of information about this word-class themed park.

Enchanted Kingdom opened its gate in October 19, 1995 located in San Lorenzo South, City of Santa Rosa Laguna. This is the Disneyland of the Philippines. I first visited in 1996 for my friend’s birthday and despedida (she went to Canada and up until now she haven’t visited yet 😦 ). My second when I was already working and the latest was last March of this year. The park has 16 rides located within 7 themed zones. They also have spectacular firework display before closing. This is also a perfect venue for birthdays, weddings, debuts and other events. For first timers, you can not bring food inside but don’t worry they have a lot of food outlets you can choose from. I have witnessed a tremendous growth as they have opened lots of rides and added shows year after year. There are actually rides that I did not dare try such as Ekstreme drop and most especially Space Shuttle. Sorry, I don’t have the guts. Anyway, this should be one of your to go list if you visit our country.

I don’t have pictures of their extreme rides so please do check out their website here.

Okay, let’s start searching for magical circles around the park.

My entry for Travel theme: Circles.

How I wish we also have the 4 seasons; spring, summer, winter and fall. Here in the Philippines, we only have dry (November to April) and rainy season (May to October). Have you heard of the recent storm that hit Mindanao last week? So heartbreaking… Even if it is supposed to be “dry”, our brothers in Mindanao were badly hit. See the effect of climate change? We should take care of our environment and do our share, even in simplest ways.

Back to the theme.. Since it is December, you will find the change in season not with the work of nature but with creative human mind and hands with Christmas spirit. I love how the houses and malls were decorated for this season. Say for example, the Christmas tree below, the theme is for children. So, the tree is surrounded by kids in different faces.

The whole mall is surrounded with hot air balloon and kids around. I must say, they chose the right theme. Christmas is really for the kids, right? This is located by the way in Shangrila Mandaluyong.

Now, this one here is the cutest of all. Who doesn’t love Mickey Mouse? The kids are crazy over this character. Megamall is in partnership with Hongkong Disneyland to promote tourism. I am getting more excited for our upcoming trip this Dec 27th. See my count down at the right side below?

But ofcourse, nothing is more special than our very own Christmas tree at home. It is just simple, my mom bought the slim type. I can’t imagine if we have the big one with three active kids around. Hahaha.

How many days to go and it’s almost Christmas. Don’t forget the real meaning of it, Birth of our Saviour, Jesus Christ! Have a great weekend.
