91% done! Ayayay 🙂 Did you know that I finished two books in three days? And that is why I missed blogging again. I was quite engrossed reading. I am almost there, nine books more to go before I finish the challenge and that means 25 books ahead of schedule. I read a lot at night. The best way to spend the time before going to sleep. Sometimes, I could consume two hot mugs of tea in different flavors of course. I have Manuka honey, cranberry and ginger now by Lois tea. I alternate it with the Twinings flavors that we bought earlier.
I had a dream last night but it was kind of weird. I dreamt of riding a ferris wheel, a big one at that somewhere in Tagaytay. It does exist and is called Sky Ranch, a 5-hectare leisure park south of Manila. I don’t know which is better, Enchanted Kingdom or this one. I’ve been to Enchanted Kingdom during one of Bank of PI’s family days. My two kids have been there a lot of times and enjoyed the rides.
The truth is I am afraid of heights (you may visit the link I posted above,those rides in Enchanted Kingdom). Even a height of 20 floors in our office before makes my knees shake and wobble. It still does when I go to places high enough for me to look down. The first and last time that I rode a ferris wheel was when I was in high school. Years ago when we were still living in Quezon City, we celebrated the Feast of the Sacred Heart during the months of June and usually, ferias in strategic places were constructed and one of them was the ferris wheel. Feria is a Spanish word meaning carnival or a festival. That dream that occured last night is an antithesis of my fear. I was actually enjoying the ride. I don’t really know what it means.
Had I finally conquered it?
Your nightmare turned into a beautiful dream. What a pleasure.
Your reading is amazing. Wow!

The dream gave you the freedom to experience the ride that scares you in real life. I think that’s a nice dream. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.

The worst was when the Ferris wheel stopped at the very top while people got on below. Then I always seemed to be sharing the seat with a family member who thought it would be fun to rock the car! I hope your dream does mean you have conquered some fear.

I experienced that too, that’s how I got afraid in the first place.

That makes total sense. My daughter and I got stuck in the dark in Disneyland on a ride that stopped. It kept playing “It’s a Small World After All” while these little creepy animated dolls danced. I get the shudders whenever I think of that song.

Me neither. I hold the items that will fall out of their pockets when they ride those scary rides.

I’m finally back to reading Pachinko. Haha. I’m getting engrossed in the 2nd half of the book. Galing ng reading skills mo, Ate. I get sleepy reading most of the nights plus I have work. Maybe you can blog a list of all the books you’ve read after you finish the challenge. I’d love to see some recommendations. Dreams are weird pero I think yours ended well. Stay safe po
