Episode 10: The Magic That Survives with Ms. Anna Mamon-Aban (Outdoor Recreation)

The Magic That Stays Within You

Driving through the bumpy and long path in the direction of the theme park, the excitement grows as you get nearer and nearer. Goosebumps all over your body as you step outside the car and see the theme park itself. The massive car park, nearly as massive as the football pitch quickly getting full. Parents having difficulties holding their children together as they leap of joy and intense excitement. you could almost hear each parent telling their child to stay still. As you walk alongside the ticket desk and wait for your turn to get one, You could almost see all the flashing lights and the scenery beaming in the distance and the atmosphere building up with the loud tune and absolutely everyone’s joy. As quickly as you’re allowed to enter the theme park, the breezy wind whistles through you as you walk through the theme park and see all the rides, mini arcades, and the background of a vivid sunrise. What a crazy feeling that never dies even if you’re all grown up right?

In this episode, Ms. Anna showed us that although there's no DisneyLand in the Philippines we do have an Enchanted kingdom. An extraordinary theme park here in the Philippines and it is located in Santa Rosa City in Laguna. Enchanted kingdom is the biggest and most famous theme park destination in the Philippines wherein families and friends head for a myriad of fun, adrenaline-pumping journey adventures, and a whole lot more. Enchanted kingdom boasts of a selection of modern, world-elegance, and safety-ensured rides that people of every age can enjoy. Enchanted kingdom also features superb parades and pleasing performances, capped off with an astonishing display of fireworks at night time. There also are many options for dining and purchasing products of Enchanted Kingdom making the vicinity an entire fun of joy. We don't have any excuse with the intention to not visit the magical world of the Enchanted kingdom and discover why the magic remains with you even if you leave its grand gate and are greeted by its iconic purple wizard mascot.

To sum it all up, As I’ve watched the episode I learned that even though the pandemic is stopping us from enjoying the outside world, the Enchanted Kingdom will always go out their ways to put smiles on our faces. They will continue to pass on their magic and let us experience it without any doubt. It is true that “the magic that survives” since the Enchanted kingdom did not let the pandemic take their magic away from them. As we get through this Pandemic together, we will continue to keep doing better and hoping for the best each and every day. It is just a phase and one day we will go back to our journey right where we left it. I suggest that we should also have that “magic” that never dies, the magic that gives us hope, strength, and motivation. We will not let anyone and anything take that away from us. Bon Voyage!

Head Over Meals

What is one of the possible reasons why tourists visit a definite destination? It is to taste a plate of delicacy. I love cooking, and surprisingly, I love it more when I cook delicious food for my hungry family. I noticed my passion for cooking when I was 16 years old. I love observing my mother in the kitchen and giving her a hand while learning. Watching cooking shows has been my favorite pastime up until today. Another episode that everyone will surely love, head over meals. Let us move forward as we appraise the beauty in cooking.

Together with Soul Chef Donita, joined as we witnessed the transformation of Filipino classic dishes into a delectable contemporary dish.

The first main course Ginataang Chicken Adobo partnered with a dessert called Creamy Mango Strawberry Jelly dessert was first introduced. Chef Donita showed us one of her favorite personal recipes and the reason behind it. The next dish that was presented was a dish influenced by a chef and a mom. Sinuglaw sa Aligue inspired by Luigi Muhlach is a dish consisting of a flavorful fusion of ‘kinilaw’ na tuna. Moreover, Salted Egg Prawns inspired by Mrs. Dimples Romana is a quick seafood starter.

While the food in the video was being prepared, I could feel the rumbling of my stomach. I noticed the smile Chef Donita shows whenever she was complimented by Chef Cyrille. I could relate to her because I love my effort in cooking to be loved and appreciated. If destiny would allow me, I will not think twice to be someone like Master Chef Cyrille, a cook, that will feed an empty stomach. For me, it is an underrated fulfillment. Dish is definitely love.
