Ito si LuvsKo. Una ko siyang nakita dun sa boarding house ng barkada ko na malapit dun sa opis namin sa Malacanan. Taga Daet talaga siya pero nagpunta ng Maynila para mag-review para sa nursing board exams. E pagkakita ko sa kanya ay hindi ko na pinakawalan, sumemplang tuloy sa board exam (ako na kasi ang ni-review lols).
Mag-fi-fifteen years na din kaming magkasama through thick and thin. Happy Valentine’s Day LuvsKo!!! (Libre mo naman ako bukas hehe)
Nung isang weekend ay nagpa-social event yung office namin sa Auckland Luge. Itong lugar na ito ay mga 20 minutes lang ang layo mula sa amin. This luge ride is very similar to the Skyline Luge that you’ll find in Rotorua (one of the major tourist attractions in North Island). If you are looking for a cheap and exciting way to entertain the kids during the weekend, I would highly recommend the place.
To get up the hill, there are two travellators (yung parang sa mall but gigantic version) and it takes about 8 minutes to get to the top. Habang nakasakay nga sa travellator ay naalala ko nung araw sa probinsiya ni ermat na gumagawa kami ng parang go kart na ball bearing yung gulong at nagkakarera pababa ng daan.
Mayroong tatlong routes: the scenic route, intermediate route and the fast route. Mabilis nga dun sa fast route kaso parang maigsi masyado yung trip pababa dahil ng puro straightaway. Yung intermediate route pa din ang paborito ko.
Actually, mga ilang buwan palang ito bukas, hindi pa nga ayos lahat. Pero mayroon ding added attractions like V8 racing simulator, a mini golf course and my favourite - the segway. I never imagined that I would be able to ride a segway that day because it was not part of the advertised features in the luge website. The bloke I talked to said that it was just recently added and that these amazing vehicles cost something like NZ$10,000. I couldn’t quite understand how the segway works except that it is based on a gyro mechanism - you lean forward to go, lean backward to stop or reverse, and lean sideways to turn. And the best part? It just takes a minute to learn to ride it.
