Blue Petals Catering Service

This is how it looks when it is being prepared while the food is not yet served
and by the time that people are not yet around. You see how elegant it is

    The advantage of catering services are hassle free from the preparation of the food and the set-up like tables with chairs and decorations. Some catering services are expensive even if with packages that are already in set but there are some  that are totally affordable. Usually when we want to celebrate our occasions most especially birthday parties we are not really hiring a caterer for a reason that it could be too much costs. But for now we’ve tried to hire a caterer for less hassle in food and set up preparation. So here we have chosen the BLUE PETALS Catering to make the event very special and memorable. I assure you this is the affordable price that YOU WILL NEVER REGRET. 

The set up of tables and chairs outside our home. I realized that 1 table can 

occupy each side  inside the compound. Good thing our place is kinda spacious

     The packages of Blue Petals catering services is more affordable and worth the price that includes the set up of tables and chairs. Unlike in other caterers the package of getting Php 200 per head does not include the set up of tables but only for food. Blue Petals Catering is more budgeted compare it if you are going to celebrate birthday parties in fast food chains and yet the food menu are always limited into 2 to 3 dishes with our without dessert. What I like about this catering services is that they are professional enough in doing their job because at first they are punctual which is one of the most important factors when it comes to all party suppliers, they came to our home 2.5 hours before the event itself just to prepare. The event held around 4:00 pm but then they came around 1:30 pm for the set up. Even if they’ve already established for a long time and I know it for a fact that they’ve also done their services in big time occasions such as weddings, debut, birthday parties and other more events still I don’t feel anything that they are into profiling in the sense that they are humble enough to treat you properly no matter if you are rich, ordinary fellowmen or low profile. No matter also if you are celebrating your event in some big establishments, well-known venues, ordinary places or even at home. Because I’ve already heard the horrible story from our relatives regarding to what they’ve encountered to the other caterers during the wedding day of their relatives, they’ve experienced that they were not treated well or the caterer itself are into profiling just because the per head basis was Php 750 so the food served were not properly cooked and yet it was really degrading or insulting to the clients. Imagine for a cost of Php 750 per head which should be considered as luxury and must have good quality services they still have the guts to ruin your event?  Here in Blue Petals for the package of Php 200 per head the food menu is honestly the usual as you can also cook it at home or you can also order it in any carinderias or eatery in every corner of the street but this is entirely different when it comes to the quality of taste as you can think they have secrets to make it more delicious, unique taste and very special. You can't just imitate it. Not all caterers can make the usual food to special taste. Sometimes you may think that it is better that you should be the one to cook because you thought it is just an ordinary dishes. Remember the taste of spaghetti and fried chicken of Jollibee, Mc. Donalds, and KFC are all different. In Blue Petals the price is worth and I believe this is BIAS FREE!



Delightful Dishes 

        Imagine for Php 200 per head then these will be the dishes being serve. Again can you compare it if you plan to have a big party in any fast food chain? Not unless just because you want to provide for a mascot and give aways that has been packaged from them whereas you can still customized it when you are in budget. These are not the kind of food that you can also taste inside the food court of the malls or even other well known establishments. The point is to make it more delightful they won't cheat on the quality of the food especially if this is mass produce. The dishes are Baked Macaroni, Fish Fillet with Tartar Sauce, Fried Chicken with Gravy, Sweet and Sour Pork and the dessert was Fruit Salad. The drink being served was Iced Tea I just don't have an idea if that is really a bottomless or it was served many times as long as it is not yet finish.
                                                      

I am not really a fan of eating Baked Macaroni especially if that is homemade or to the extent that I am going to order it from any food court, canteen, fast food chains or even restaurants. I just don't like it but eating that because of being there. But eating Baked Macaroni that is being made by Blue Petals is different because I appreciate the balance of the cheese and tomato based. Unlike the other baked mac it is purely cheese that I can't even taste the tomato side of it. The cheese is not really melted at all though the tomato is still tasteful.

Crunchy Fish Fillet is also fresh and smooth that you would still feel it is newly cooked. I just can't describe the luscious taste of the Tartar Sauce because it attracts me for not being too sour and sweet. You would think that it is not just the mayonnaise but you know how they put an effort so that your tongue would want to ask for more sauce.

You don't need a sauce or even gravy to make this Fried Chicken more tasteful because for sure it will already make your happy meal complete when you are just eating the Fried Chicken itself. Crunchy soft and easy to bite.

Balance is always the right term for Sweet and Sour Pork and honestly I never thought that they can make the sauce more delicious. There are times when I am eating sweet and sour pork it is always been too sour that I would rather put ketchup on it or even sweet chili sauce to make my meal complete. I am totally impressed on how they mixed the sauce for the Sweet and Sour Pork. But I've still notice that the pork was not that soft to the extent that you need to chew that much. Not a big deal it can still improve for next time.

I am not totally impressed with their Fruit Salad because I am expecting a bit that they would put something extra ordinary to make it special. Honestly we can make better than what they've prepared. So when it comes to dessert like Fruit Salad maybe you would want to have taste test first unless you don't care about it at all. I still want them to improve this kind of dessert.

The food being served here is for 60 people which is good thing about it there's no less because everybody were able to full their tummies or too much for the left overs. Baked Macaroni was the only food that was left after the party. By the time we have eaten that the next day it was totally finished right away because we have also eaten that during the snack time. We are thankful that there were no food that has been wasted.



Services and Preparation 

 
      The Blue Petals were punctual enough by arriving around 1:30 PM here in Pasay City and started to set up the tables and chairs. When it was all done that is the time I observed how they prepared the materials and how it was done. I've seen some table mantels that are already dirty because of the paint but I won't consider that as very big deal. I appreciate the elegance on how the set up the tables and chairs with the flowers as part of simple centerpiece on the table. Though I have noticed that they put the table napkins on the goblet glass as the table napkin holder, it is not my type on how they do it but again it is not a big deal but I just don't find it that practical because usually we are using the goblets just for drinking.

I appreciate the hospitality of the waiters of how they became respectful or having strong sense of courtesy that they are sincere, patient and humble enough to serve other people. They are professional for the preparation and very efficient to work accurately.

Summer's All in 1 Party

As I thought that Apollo's birthday celebration was already enough during our accommodation in Microtel there was another celebration planned for his birthday party which there was catering hired during his day. Though that is not just because of his birthday party but it is also a thanksgiving party because of the victory that was accomplished within our family.

Apollo is still lucky for having double celebration aside from having 1 night accommodation in Microtel so I can totally say that his summer was really great. He is still the starring of this event and he really deserves the party because he really likes having fun especially playing with other kids and singing in our own videoke. There is nothing much activity on here except for pabitin. Since this is not just a birthday party so we didn't make any plans for the games. This is just a get together with our family and friends. So what we did for here is to enjoy the food and entertain other people.

This is how he received the gift. 

Birthday SPLASH!

It is getting hot in the Philippines as in hotter and hotter and hotter. That is why the most common activity that we are doing is going to the beaches and swimming pools for us to have refreshments inside our body. At least I felt that kind of hot temperature during the middle of April unlike last month that it is still raining to the extent that you can still tolerate the weather.

My nephew celebrated his 2nd birthday in Microtel of Pasay City branch which is near Mall of Asia. Since his birthday is on April 11 we celebrated it on April 8 which is the Easter Sunday until next day. This is not the party yet so only us as his family who were able to spent 1 night accommodation here. The celebration here was like slumber party wherein we have our own food such as spaghetti with grilled chicken and pork chop. After eating they were able to began their splash at the top of course where swimming pool was located. In our case we weren't able to swim during that day because we have attended the mass at Shrine of Jesus which is walking distance from Microtel. We had our swimming on the next day which was early morning around 7:00 wherein there were no other people yet so it was like the pool is ours. After 1 hour that is the time we get up when other people are already around. 

Microtel 

Melynn got it for discounted price, she was able to get the rooms that are adjacent to each other so it was an easy access that is hassle free to the extent not needing to knock on the other room just to enter, then at least it was like there were 2 bathrooms that we can use. The bedroom was totally clean and I like the set up of the bed including the design for the blanket. There is also an edge formed like a sofa type at the window so at least an extra person can sleep there with the pillow. The bed can be up to 3 persons. I appreciate the cleanliness of the bathroom though I still have the comment in terms of accessibility of the trash can and in getting the toilet paper, but of course this is not really a major problem. Still they have good amenities with other accessories. Our view is on the bay side that is why we can see the beauty of the sea. 

The swimming pool is floating on the 12th floor, you can imagine it looks like the infinity pool of Marina Bay Sands that is located in Singapore. The difference is that here in Microtel it has the glass to protect because that could be more dangerous if there was no glass. Unlike in infinity pool there is no need for protection because it is not totally direct to the ground floor. I like the view wherein you can see the flyer while you are on the pool or at least at the rooftop of Microtel. So you can really imagine that you are in Marina Bay Sands that you can see the Singapore Flyer. That is what it comes to my mind when I went here.  

There was STRAY BULLET found on our ROOF that is towards my BEDROOM

       Last day of January there was a strong rain to the extent of having flood inside our compound that I am living. Only to find out that there were drops of water coming from the ceiling but there wasn't a hole so I told Papa about it and he is also wondering that how come that thing happened. Everytime there will be strong rain or typhoon then there will be water that will drop to floor. So we ever thought that there was a minor problem from the ceiling and the only thing we can think is to fix this thing as easy as possible. 

      Sunday afternoon of March 4, Papa had just decided to fix everything on my bedroom including my broken door knob. He also asked help from the carpenter to look what is the problem on the roof that the hole is towards my bedroom. Only to find out that there was STRAY BULLET on the ceiling so they were able to get it. I don't know if Papa had just sent text messages to Mama already regarding this matter. It just so happened that I wasn't here at home when they are fixing the problem on my bedroom. I was in the children's party together with my niece and nephew, Mama was with us in Mall of Asia but she left us in the party since she is going to shop. By the time that Papa had picked us up from Mall of Asia that is the time that we are on our way home then Mama just told me the reason that my roof has a hole is just because there was STRAY BULLET found on my ceiling. That is the time that I was really shocked about it with my eyebrows raised and felt that I am lucky enough that it didn't pass through the plywood of my ceiling.  I just asked them right away if we can still report it. My Papa told me that we can report that to police so that they can trace of what kind of gun that has been used. 

      When Papa gave me the stray bullet he just told me that if it was only pass through the ceiling aside from the roof then it just so happened that I was in the bedroom during that time it happened then I would be a dead meat by now. I just thought a fact if that thing happened then I should pull down the shorts or pants of that suspect while he is walking down the street. The only people I think who can do this are the mentally ill drunken bastards because in the first place who is in the right mind that will fire a gun without any reason? Probably the one who is too proud of his gun. 

      Now I am grateful enough that I was protected by the power of God, asking and thanking Him about protection in all harms is always been my routine every time I pray. Now it makes me realize that I should have more positive outlook in life. 

Do You Need To Become Hostile In MATH TEST If This Was Just For Fun?

How do you respond with people who are not really good in terms of academics especially in mathematics? 


Do you really need to judge people who are not good in mathematics? 


Do you always think people who are excellent in mathematics are always smart and intelligent? 


Are you harsh when it comes to people who have forgotten the rules in mathematics?


Does it turn you off when other people are not good in mathematics even basic math? 


I have seen the illustration below on facebook pages such as Just For Laughs and other fanpage. I believe this was really meant for fun but what happened here was different. 

Just because of the simple mathematical equation people are becoming hostile in responding to this problem. The argument here was if MDAS rule is a must or anything multiplied by zero is always a zero.  Now upon reading the comments of people I am really wondering that how come they can't be educated, matured or civil enough to remind other people of what they have learned during elementary days. How come they need to be harsh and throw below the belt comments just to prove what they believe is right. Or maybe they thought that putting down other people will make them great and smart but definitely they are wrong because it is a reflection that there is something wrong with a person's attitude or personality. 

No wonder now why the world is always in trouble such as family, relationship or lovelife even married life because they can't even apply the simple GMRC or some other people are really failure in terms of communication that they don't want to understand each other. The first thing in their mind when communicating is to degrade other people or become hostile to prove themselves. I really find pity with all those people who can't be matured enough to defend what they believe is right. If they are projecting that they are intelligent and smart then they should act intelligently with dignity. 

  

Shooting of Bourne Legacy in Pasay City. CHALLENGE if USISERO or TALENTS?

Here's the CHALLENGE

                               a                                                                                                                  b

        c                                                                                                                      d         

There are bunch of people who are staying at the overpass while the shoot of Bourne Legacy is still going on. However not all of them are USISERO because most of them are also the TALENTS that are part of the scene.  Now my question here is.... 

Which of the following images that has people who are USISERO or TALENTS?

Just post the letters of your correct answer. This is just for fun. 

        When I heard the news and read an article that they are going to shoot the hollywood film of Bourne Legacy here in Rotonda Pasay City, I was actually overwhelmed and it is becoming a big deal for me because it is my hometown. Who would thought that the chaotic area that was put in the bad light long time ago would be a big advantage for a hollywood film which is international movie that can be seen all over the world? I am still proud of my place no matter what will others say. 

Last January 27 which was Friday morning I've decided to watch the shooting along Zamora however unfortunately I wasn't able to see the shoot because this was located at the side of Metro Point wherein they have closed that area. There were people who are watching but of course they can't see it as well. I've only seen the medias and Ginger Conejero was reporting and she interviewed Chairman Tolentino along EDSA. The half of MRT stairway was used for the equipment while the other side is for passer by from the MRT.  I didn't bother to stay any longer because I wasn't able to see anything. So I just followed up from news. 

On the next day which was January 28, Saturday I asked my boyfriend to go with me just to see the shoot. I have no idea where would be the next location but we just went to Zamora. Then we have seen people who are watching in Rotonda so we followed. We passed by the MRT Station so we were able to see the production staff along the overpass. Then by the time that we are going down we were able to see Jeremy Renner at the overpass. Unfortunately you can't just stay in a place because the security were very strict. Yet it became more strict when the shoot was already take 15 since it can't be captured well because watchers can be obviously seen on the film. 

Sunday morning which was January 29 and the last day of their shoot I decided to watch the shoot again by myself since I was not with my boyfriend anymore. So I did the same thing as what we have been doing yesterday. I saw Rachel Weisz closer which was while I am going down and while I went inside the mall and Chowking. At first I just stayed in one place but unfortunately I can't see anything so I decided to walk along the bus terminal that is the time I saw both starring Jeremy Renner and Rachel Weisz that are doing their actions as the top of the bus. I am totally happy that I was able to see it even a little bit. So I walked all over again to get a chance if in case that I can watch well then I was able to see Valerie Bariou the double of Rachel which is the wife of the former teen matinee idol Onemig Bondoc. She is beautiful as Rachel, no wonder she has chosen to be the double of the star. I just made tactics just to see the stars by passing by Chowking, so I was able to see Rachel and Jeremy eating inside the bus terminal. The Chowking has bunch of orders for the other production staff, crews and security. I didn't stay any longer as well because I was already tired so I decided to go home. 

The funny thing that happened here was there were people who are staying at the other side of overpass which is the way to LRT. The security told them to go away and he even said "DOON KAYO SA SOGO MANOOD ANDUN ANG SHOOTING WALA RITO". 

Now I will be waiting for this movie to release and definitely I will watch this even for a fact that I am not a fan of watching this even the previous ones. I really felt that I became a Paparazzi as of this moment because what I am seeing is a once in a lifetime 

My Own World of ADVENTURE at UNIVERSAL STUDIOS SINGAPORE

Have you ever experienced being alone while venturing around in a big  amusement park? What is the feeling of having your own adventure while you are alone? Are you brave enough to conquer the extreme or do you still need a companion to experience the adventure.


I really want to go at Universal Studios Singapore since I have no chance to have to visit it in America last 1998. Before the week of our departure to Singapore I kept  searching for attractions of Universal Studios until I asked  my facebook buddies on how does it look like, is it worth worth it? What if my companions does not want to take the rides and I will be the only one. I even analyze the rides if they are suitable for those people whose not into adventure. I've also watched the youtube on how the roller coaster look like, it seems so exciting and great that I am sure that I'll have fun riding it. I've listed down all the possible rides and attractions that I am going to try and visit then make a sequence for it so that it won't take me so long to think my next destination. Finally it was confirmed that I am going to the Universal Studios alone while my parents are wandering around the Sentosa. We were able to get the ticket at some travel agency inside the hotel that is located in Bugis Singapore which cost about $59 for the weekday rate. Its not that bad because it has still big difference compare to the rate that I can get from the Universal Studios itself. So I prepared for  venture inside the park and at least I can make my own strategies on what to do like what I am suppose to prioritize. 


I did not bother to eat breakfast, not because I am too excited to go to Universal Studios but for a fact that I don't want to have a feeling of being full inside my tummy while riding the roller coaster. 


For some reason I didn't bring the camera anymore but before I enter the park I took a picture in front of Universal Studios globe. I realized I won't have much time on taking pictures because we are in hurry as well. When I already entered the park I ran towards the locker rental of Battle Star Galactica to leave all my things because I am sure I won't be allow to ride the roller coaster if I still have something in my hand. This is just free for 30 minutes then after that it has a charge already. This is not the usual thing that you have padlock and the key not even a card. Your key here is the password which you are going to enter your BIRTHDAY. I actually exceeded the limit after riding the Battle Star Galactica which I was charged of $3.00, but then unfortunately my money was inside the locker so I can't pay and asked help from the staff. Fortunately she has considerate for not asking a charge. The only thing she asked is for my valid ID which I was able to show it to her. 


So now here are my step by step of what I did inside the park.


1. Battle Star Galactica CYCLON -   I really decide to take this one first while I haven't taken my breakfast so that I won't throw up. It is part of my strategy to take the extreme rides first while the feeling of excitement is still with me and while I am not yet tired. I just passed the Single Rider express since I am alone, it is like you don't need to fall in line with groups of people or long line. I really asked the staff that I want to be seated in front so she allowed me to do so. I am wearing a sandals that has protective strap so I am sure if I don't need to remove it but then I have changed my mind.  I removed it anyways to feel that my feet is floating in the air while riding the roller coaster. This is floorless roller coaster that you are obligated to remove your slippers/shoes if you are wearing one. Aside from that  the rail is over your head. This is intense corkscrew and a cobra roll that goes up, around and upside down. I did my strategy when the roller coaster goes down that I am inhaling but then I still can't avoid  yelling. I admit that when it goes up I have a feeling of being nervous but then when it goes down I was able to get rid my nervousness and yet I already have an overwhelm feeling that I did it. I have a feeling that I was able to conquer my fears independently. When I went straight to the store I saw the picture as part of souvenir. Unfortunately I can't be able to be seen on picture because I was seated at the left side. LOL! the cashier even asked me to go back, as much as I want but I am in hurry so I didn't do so. If you want to avail picture of yourself here at Cyclon you must seat on the RIGHT SIDE. I am now ready for the HUMAN ride. 


2. Battle Star Galactica HUMAN - This was just the usual roller coaster as you can see in other amusement parks that the rail is under your feet. But of course this is also considered as extreme the same with CYCLON. I've seated in front again at the right side to make sure that I will be captured. I have seen myself on picture but I don't like it because the image was edited already and it looked unnatural. Of course I don't also like my funny facial expression on it. LOL! So again I didn't bother to avail it. 


3.  Revenge of The Mummy - There were many people who are falling in line but since I am alone so again I was able to pass the Single Ride express wherein I was accommodated right away that I don't need to fall in line. I demand again that I want to be seated in front so fortunately my wish was their command. I was seated in front beside 3 people who are family. We are inside the dark where I could see the scary props though I don't feel scared because I used to it. Since I've watched this on youtube then I already have an idea on where to prepare of inhaling. It was totally amazing on how the production will scare you with excitement. I have seen my picture but then again I don't like it.

Let me ask you something? Do you also have different techniques when riding a roller coaster? When it is going down all you can do is to INHALE then you can YELL to release your fears. You may also stretch your body while inhaling because when I tried it and it was effective.    

4. Treasure Hunters - Finally I just rest from extreme rides so I just turned into moderation wherein kids are allowed to ride on desert Jeep that they could also drive. It was just a kid's version of The Mummy that you can see almost the same thing. Nothing much exciting unless you are a kid. I was with a Chinese kid, he was cute and an Indian Mom that we are 3 on the desert jeep and they are in front of me. 


5. Enchanted Airways - Before I decide to take my lunch I just took this roller coaster first. I forgot to fall in line in Single Ride express that is why it took me so long as well before I was able to ride here. I was shocked that the people who are falling in line in front of me decided to backout, maybe because they realize that they can't take it and that is much extreme. Oh well! not on my case. When I've ride it nothing much exciting about it. Honestly it was like an extraordinary caterpillar in our local amusement park. I am even bringing my bag that good thing I know how to protect it. This was just a junior roller coaster so nothing scary about this ride. 

 Before going to the next venture I've decided to stay  in Goldilocks to have lunch though I didn't bother to buy some meals because all I can see was the chicken. I had a sandwich so I've eaten that. The only thing I bought inside was the grape shake.         

6. Donkey Live  - After I ate lunch I am not yet ready for another extreme ride so I've decided to stay in a place that I don't need to ride. I want to see the Donkey Live to see how does it look like. If the Donkey will perform or sing. I don't understand the meaning of interactive "live" show so all I thought was that the Donkey is just a mascot who is going to perform on stage. But then I was wrong it was like a film that the Donkey is communicating with the audience. As a person who is already mature enough I felt that this is not that exciting anymore though I really appreciate on how the Donkey is relating with people. The Donkey character has a sense of humor so you might want to try introduce yourself to the Donkey. I even like the fact that the Donkey wants to cooperate with him like you must also sing and dance. It was still great though.  Aside from that he is playful enough that the Donkey will ask you to do a favor for him, it was funny though. How I wish that the next time I am going to visit here I would introduce myself if the Donkey ask my name, I will try if the Donkey can say "Petrang Kabayo" I just want to know if how could he pronounce it not unless if the voice in charge here is a Filipino. 


7. TRANSFORMERS The Ride: The Ultimate 3D Battle - I have tried to feel myself if I should be getting ready for extreme rides. Yes I am now excited to see the one of my favorite movie Transformers. Before I have taken this ride I left all my things inside the locker to feel the scene without worrying my belongings. I passed the Single Rider express again even there were no long lines. It amazed me because there's this feeling that you were also involve in the scenes like fighting with the robots, going through a car chase then bump on the other vehicle, falling down from a high rise building and the feeling of being eaten by the robots. I was hoping that my favorite character devastator will be involved but unfortunately its not. I totally appreciate the whole scenario, effects, sounds and the actions but it has need of improvement in terms of graphics. All in all it was so great that is why I decided to go back for another turn that I don't even want to close my eyes just for second. All I want is to feel the whole scenery of the movie. Hope that there will be like this here in Manila. I already missed this by now. 


8. Canopy Flyer - My next adventure is just mild. By passing the Single Ride Express I was able to accommodate right away without falling in a long line again. I just requested that I want to be seated at the back because I want to feeling of riding in a reverse manner. I've attempted to remove my sandals but then the staff didn't allow me to leave my footwear but just my bag because just like what I did in Battle Star Galactica Cyclon I want to feel the fresh air on my feet. I can actually remove it but the problem is I need to hold it and put the sandals at the back of me so that is the reason why I didn't make it anymore. I was seated beside a girl and I think she is still a teenager or somewhat 20 plus of age. I got a chance to talk with her while our ride is not yet moving. It was just a casual conversation. She is Mexican and I find her pretty like a model, she's been nice to me. 


This is like a floorless cable car, the only difference is that it will move faster like you are flying. It was only one round and I find it too short. I didn't attempt to have another turn because all I want to do is to try it once. But still its fun.


9. Shrek 4-D Adventure -  Done with the Sci-Fi adventure then it is time for me to be in a fantasy. I've also waited here for so long. There was an introduction that I find it boring at first while we are not yet inside the theater. Finally we are about to enter to watch the movie. This was not like the transformers that your seat is like riding a roller coaster that you have to move around. This was just chairs like in theaters that are just moving. Good thing I was able to seat in front row as in 1st row so I was really near the screen. I don't know how come I felt dizzy at this point but the Transformers is more extreme compare to this. I am satisfied with the visual which is totally clear but this is not exciting compared to Transformers. What I appreciate here is the effects that the spider will tickle you then the air as well. It was like watching a movie that you have to feel the scenery but not exactly you are involved in the film. 


9. Madagascar: A Crate Adventure -  Seated in a front row but on the middle with two strangers. So all of us were single riders.  I am sure kids will have fun for seeing the props of Madagascar with the story telling. A river boat ride with little effects and this is adventure for kids. If I had my camera then I would want to record it and capture images. You might be surprised of the falling water but it won't make you wet. It was just a curtain-like thing that you are going to enter to the next place. Honestly I was been fooled by this set up and I also noticed the woman beside me had thought that we will be getting wet including our bags and other things around us. Good thing we were wrong. 


11. Lights, Camera, Action! Hosted by Steven Spielberg - I believe I've done all my extreme rides so it is time for me to calm down and relax by seeing the short introduction from one of my favorite directors Steven Spielberg. There were no Single Express at this point so I am obligated to fall in line with a bunch of people and wait for our turn. While walking on the ramp towards the studio I've already seen couple who are having a public display of affection by torridly kissing each other. I know this is not a big deal anymore especially in other countries, it is becoming normal nowadays in this world but honestly I can't avoid not eyeing on it since of course I am not used to it and yet very distracting. However I could still imagine if they are going to do that here in our country I am sure it is a big fuss for people here and yet somebody might captured them through the use of phone camera or even a digital camera, they might also record it, but who knows? But then it just so happened that there were another couple of a different nationality who were also walking ahead of me and supposed to be I would be falling in line next to them. You know what happened? The wife just walked straight ahead. That is the time when the couple had stop kissing to each other because they were shocked as well. I laughed, of course in a quiet manner not in the sense that people saw and hear my laugh. Though I am wondering how come these people ahead of me were not complaining of what the other couples did of passing ahead. I mean I don't have any idea if that is an excuse for senior citizens as there were no information about it. Because if that is what they are going to do here in our country then for sure people were already complaining and even fought with them already not unless if they are seniors who were excused for that. Well enough for that then I have to tell the next thing happened to me which was funny as well. While waiting for our turn there were group of friends next to me then they asked me couple of times to take a picture for them. Of course I did their favor and it is fine by me. I think they were Chinese. Though when we entered the studio the funny thing that happened was there was a Chinese teenager that holds my arms and I was shocked if I know this girl. I just smiled by saying excuse me then she was shocked as well that she thought I was her friend LOL! she was really laughing and she apologized but of course not a big fuss for me. I find her cute chinita babe. 


So here we go ready to watch a short introduction about the film on how it was set up. Capturing images and recording a video is not allowed and prohibited by the law. I have no problem about it because I am not holding a camera. This experience is like witnessing the shoot, the difference is that they will tell you on how they did it to the previous films and of course there were not performers here like actions stars. How I wish I was in first row so that I could feel the strange like there was a fire that will go near to you, then a bit splash of water, and the ship will go towards the audience as you thought it will bump you. LOL! the people in front just stayed away. This is the time to make your imagination feel that you are inside the film. This is not a ride just like Transformers, all you need to do is to watch and see the props then there were no seats here as in you are standing here. Another great experience here.  


9. Accelerator - The last thing I did before leaving the Universal Studios. Nothing much exciting about this ride because it will just turn you around. I am seated there like what I am doing in couch and the good thing about here is that I was the only person inside the ride. Not much people though. 


I missed the 3 attractions here for some reason. When I passed the Monster Rock that was the only time I have seen the schedule and I have missed the last show. By the time I was ready for the Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure unfortunately it was under maintenance. I was even told that I really missed the one of the wonderful things, I felt unfortunate for it but I realized right away that at least I was able ride at Battle Star Galactica which was my most favorite is more important to me, hoping that there will be next time. I walked towards the Water World and being unaware again of the schedule, I did not attempt to attend the 5:30 pm because my parents needs me at 5:00 pm. So instead I just eat a full meal at the Oasis Spice Cafe I ordered a meal that I know it is really spicy since I believe to myself that I can eat and finish it. Unfortunately I can't finish it so I asked that I want to take it out. Even at dinner and the next day I wasn't able to finish it just because Its too spicy for my taste. 


Here are the facts that you should know about Universal Studio Singapore. 


If you are going to rent a locker the best recommended section here is inside the Ancient Egypt because the usage will be 60 minutes or 1 hour free. 


Single Ride Express is recommended for 1 to 2 persons, just don't forget to enter this way because this is the only chance that you can enter here right away without falling in line and wait for long. But this is not applicable to all attractions only for rides.  


In my own point of view if you plan to do all the activities here such as taking all rides, watching parade if any, watching some shows, dining in, shopping and the most important thing is to record the video and take pictures then you must really go here as early as possible because I believe this couldn't be a fast paced activity. It will take you a day for you to accomplish all this kind of activities. 


Prior to my visit here in Universal Studios SG I was informed that if I want to ride the Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure and watch the Water World you must bring you own extra clothes. Because in Rapids it will really make you wet while riding especially your shorts or pants. When watching the Water World you might want to be seated in front wherein there would be a place for splash zone. Aside from that you must leave your things inside the locker. 


If you are going to ride the CYCLON of Battle Star Galactica and you want to avail picture as your souvenir then you must be seated at the right side because you can't be captured if you are at the left side. Aside from that all things must be inside the locker because chances are it will lost while you are riding the roller coaster. 


There are some attractions that Cameras are prohibited especially when you are inside the theater. Do not attempt of disobeying the law because that is part of criminal offense. 


WEEKDAYS off peak is the most RECOMMENDED days to visit. This is to avoid the crowd of people. Imagine even if you are going to eat then you still need to fall in line and waiting for so long. Consumes time right? The rides will just take you seconds to experience but you are falling in line for more than 30 minutes to an hour already or worse even more than an hour. Gosh!!!
