Yokohama Cosmo World

It was a winter season in Japan, January 8, 2008, the day, i could say, a day to remember... what makes that day something to be remembered was.. i almost die.. hu hu hu...

Me and Sharleen are invited by my Bro. in-law (Kuya Toshi) in Yokohama Cosmo World. At the beginning he told us that there will be a challenge today. In my mind i was also asking, is it really challenging?

when we arrived in the place, right infront of my eyes, Kuya Toshi said, you will ride that one, pointing to the Cosmo Clock.

On the spot, OMG! (oh my God!...) me, ride there? no, i will die.. i told him, so, i said, i will not ride, never.. (ni hindi nga ako sumakay nyan sa Pilipinas, dito pa), i did not even ride that in the Philippines, why here?

But Sharleen says, why not.. lets try, anyway (libre naman yun..) its free, whispering to me. i got challenge actually not because its free but, the guts of this small but terrible girl (Sharleen)... so, we took the ride! We did three different rides in this amusement park; first we took Diving Coaster VANISH! i just close my eyes and shouting to the best i can. i could feel split in a second my life was vanished, terribly.. if there would be another round that time, i tell you, i could die..

Diving Coaster VANISH!

Second ride name Cliff Drop. i thought the ride could be easier than the previous one. when i saw the boat, oh! another vanishing ride again? among three of us, Sharleen is the cutest as in the smallest (kasi large and medium ang kasama niya) so, our setting arrangement in the boat was according to our size.. because i am afraid i put Sharleen infront of me, he he he!

The second drop here is taken at quite high speed, and riders are really thrown up out of the seats... whoa! and hold your breath! splaaashhh..

On the 3rd ride, finally, the Cosmo Clock. since i am very nervous with two previous rides, along the way to the Cosmo clock, i really thought of walking back..

Kuya and Sharleen are very relaxed even Sharleen.. OMG! again.. this little girl has a heart problem but it seems very strong..

when we were there and took the ride, i was amazed.. whoa! very slow... i thought it will turn like the coaster did. ha ha ha! all of us will really die if it would happened.

but when the wheel turned slowly up oh oh, (nakakalula.. sobra!) i feel really dizzy..

to feel relieve while the clock going on top, Sharleen busy taking pictures down the site of Cosmo World, but me, i cannot look down, so scared..

when the rides done, we sat down on the table along side of the Diving Coaster area. when i look up at the people riding over there, they kept on screaming... i could imagine myself too, how it looks like screaming there..

somehow, i had so much fun within that day, ha ha ha! so much fun of course because my spirit gone in a second.. it was a great day actually.

you may wonder why it seems this kind of experience is really mean to me. of course because i was there.. and i am pretty sure each one of us has the same story to tell. that is why i realized after those experience that, i can do it! because i did it! its just that i limit myself at the beginning, and automatically judge my capacity. that means, there are things within me that i need to discover more. how about you, did you really know about yourself? how far you can endure for more challenges? thank you for reading...

success!!!
