Fun land Fun

Have you ever gone to a fun land? For me a fun land is family. You go to a fun land to spend time with your loved ones. My last trip to a fun land was when my relatives went to Universal Studios Los Angeles, also known as, USLA. We traveled to USLA by car with my cousins, uncles and my aunts.

When we got there I was so ecstatic. We first rode on a tram ride where actors and actresses acted out scenes in the movies. In some of the scenes, I felt like I wanted to dance. Sometimes I felt quite scared because of the loud gun sounds. The best part of the whole tram ride was when we rode the King Kong 3Dx ride. We went in a dark tunnel where the scene was a forest. I suddenly felt like the tram was rocking back and forth. Then we heard a loud roar like a dinosaur. It was King Kong! He was fighting a T-Rex in his home forest. The dinosaur wanted to eat us but King Kong was preventing him. When the King Kong 3Dx ride was over, the driver of the tram took us back to home base!

After that, we went to the Transformers ride. This ride included a car of Optimus prime, a robot from the movie Transformers, a lot of movie screens with 3d and smoke effects. When the ride was over, we passed by a Transformers shop selling all kinds of Transformers stuff. I bought a hat for my dad.

Now, are you ready to get wet? That’s when it’s time to ride the Jurassic park water ride! The highlight of the ride was when we got to go into a dark cave with a lot of pretend dinosaurs; a T-Rex and a big slide when you go pass the T-Rex. We got soaking wet after this ride!

After the rides, we all got hungry and went to the food bars. We munched on some spaghetti, coke, ice cream and chicken wings! After getting our tummies full, we met some Hollywood characters. We met Marilyn Monroe, Lisa Simpson, Bart Simpson and many more. I also asked for their autograph. I felt so delighted of getting their autograph because you don’t get autographs every once and a while.

After we met the characters, we went to our final ride. This was the last battle! I rode the Mummy ride with my 2 cousins, my aunt and also my uncle. After riding, I felt very proud of conquering my fear. Why do I have a fear of this ride you ask? Because when I first had this ride, I was so scared that I got sick. I felt terrified because the ride was dark; it had big drops and a lot of scary things like mummies, scorpions, dark devils and king cobra snakes.  When I felt sick, I said that I will never ride it again. But I conquered my fear!

After the rides, we got some frozen yogurt and explored the rest of the fun land. After the tiring day, we all headed back home. It was a really fun day for me. So, what is a fun land for you?

My gymnastic lessons.

Have you ever done a cartwheel or maybe a split? Well you’re lucky because I haven’t, but I will learn soon enough because I enrolled in Club Gymnastica.

On my first day of gymnastic lessons, I woke up happy and excited. I ate my breakfast, washed my body and changed my clothes. Then my grandfather took my mom and I to Kapitolio Pasig. I immediately joined my class, warmed up  and learned  all kinds of gymnastic stunts like cartwheel, split, bridge etc. We also used all kinds of equipments like bars, beam, floor and trampoline. Finally I changed my clothes and we headed back home. I felt really happy for my 1st gymnastic lessons.

On the 2nd week we focused on floor exercise, trampoline and beam. I was nervous while walking on the beam because I thought I would fall.

On the 3rd week the coaches introduced the bars to us. I felt confident while we swung on the bars. We are like monkeys swinging from one tree to the other.

On the 4th week we continued to improve our cartwheel and handstand. I need to train harder to perfect these stunts. Aside from learning all of these stunts I also met new friends.

On the 5th week our coach introduced us to new stunts such as back roll and back bridge. They are easy to do because I didn't hurt myself and I listened to my coach while he was introducing it to us.

On the 6th-7th week we did the same stunts and used the same equipment. I can already do the handstand properly but my cartwheel still needs a little improvement.

On the 8th week we met new coaches because our old coach is absent. They introduced to us hand stand bridge. I felt a little unsure by this stunt because I'm not familiar with it.
