The Philippines remains at the top of medal standings of The 23rd Southeast Asian Games with 41 gold medals. Impressive! This should make us proud. I’m too lazy to enumerate our gold medal haulers. Too many! Haha.
On our way to Star City (theme park) yesterday, we decided to pass by Rizal Memorial Sports Complex to watch some SEA Games event. We chanced on the men’s team event in gymnastics. We stayed at the (un-airconditioned) stadium for a while. Nothing exciting happening really at that time. The cheering squad of Malaysia and a handful of Vietnamese supporters were more amusing to watch. We left after around twenty minutes.

Gymnasts have insanely small waistlines and buff upper bodies. I just had to say that. How many days training in gym could get you to achieve that proportion? (Not that it’s very desirable).

Anyway, as I’ve said, we went to Star City yesterday. Kay had free ride tickets so Kid, Eric, AD, Deo, Fritz, Jed and I decided to use them. We commuted all the way to Pasay right after class.

It’s been twelve years since I’ve last been to Star City. And whatever memory of it I have is too vague for me to compare it to what Star City is now. We had fun. It’s an okay theme park, if you’re standards are not too high. Rode some rides, even wen inside the “Haunted House”, which was more of like a sauna room, really. I got really dizzy at the end of the night, I had to puke.

What’s with the cowboy hat? I’ve never been to Star City my whole life.
