Ayala Triangle Gardens and the Annual Lights and Sounds Show

Ayala Triangle Gardens and the Annual Lights and Sounds Show. If you are looking for some special place to visit this coming Holiday Season in Metro Manila, then I would suggest visiting the Ayala Triangle Annual Lights and Sounds Show.

The lights and sounds show which started last November 16, 2012, run daily until December 30 2012 , show start at 6pm  plays every 30 minutes to 9pm.

If I am not mistaken the tradition started on 2010 Holiday Season, I was lucky to be there last year Christmas 2011 and record the show, for this year I would definitely visit the show again.

This post is not meant to show you the latest show but it is an invitation should you are visiting the Philippines and Manila in particular OPT recommend the Ayala Triangle Annual Lights and Sounds Show. Below are photos and a complete video of the 2011 show.

Enchanted Kingdom, Sta. Rosa, Laguna

Enchanted Kingdom, Sta.Rosa, Laguna. Seventeen years the magic lives on, yes Enchanted Kingdom is now nearing its 20 years of existence. Probably most of my visitors who are reading this post may have visited the park at one time or provably more times of their life. This may be during a school outing or a special treat on past Holiday Season from your parents when you were a kid or with your barkadas.

Again Holiday Season is now around the corner, it's time to bring the kids where they love most, rides in themed park and the Enchanted Kingdom is one of the obvious choice.

On my personal opinion I see the park have not changed much since it open its gates 17 years ago, there was no major addition of rides or attractions. The only major addition that I can consider is the Extreme Tower Ride a 150 foot drop tower ride introduced sometime in 2010.

Never the less the park is still the best themed park in the country, the place is well maintained, there are a lot of rides and activities that one can enjoy. One whole day may not be enough to experience all the rides and attractions especially during the Holidays when the park is usually crowded, best to go on regular days. Ride includes the classic Ferries Wheel and the Carousel, there are also the extreme and not too extreme rides, the Roller Coaster, the Space Shuttle, the Tower Ride, Raging Rapids, Bump Boats, Bump Cars and Go Kart etc., another attraction of the park that should not be missed is the 30 seats 4D Discovery Theater.
