Exciting Rides at Maryrose Grand Carnival
Carnivals are present during festive events such as the Araw ng Dabaw month long celebration where Mary Rose Carnival isn’t 'new' in the city during such event. Mary Rose was considered as the ‘mini’ Enchanted Kingdom by some locals and visitors with its exciting and thrilling rides.
I was excited to try the rides since a lot of my facebook friends keep on tagging this carnival with an exaggerated burst of chuba'ek'ek on their status (lol. joke).

On a serious note, every time I think about doing something new, something extreme, fear and hesitation was always there to stop me. I hate it when all I could do is just imagine the things that I supposed to do. It’s always a great feeling when you counter your fear just like this new experience I had at Mary Rose, I pushed myself to the limit and get the hell out of my comfort zone just for a while, it made me realized how
The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.
