The Feast of the Black Nazarene is one of the largest and most popular religious events in the Philippines (wiki). Every year thousands of devotees join the procession of the miraculous image of the Black Nazarene from Quirino Grandstand to Quiapo Manila. Devotees join the procession for the atonement of sin, pray for a good life, and pray for a sick relative.

We were finally able to visit Star City last Sunday. We were not supposed to go that night, but we discovered our tickets (ride-all-you-can) would expire a week from now. So we might as well avail the free rides.
We don’t have many pictures to show. We arrived at Star City at around 7. We ate a quick snack in one of the hotdog booths there.
We took the Surf Dance for our first ride, which hubby and I regretted. It was one of Star City’s Extreme Rides and we were not supposed to ride in it. I was shouting the whole time and my knees were shaking when we went down.
Hubby and I realized we should leave all up the fun rides to the kids except for the extreme rides.
The kids also tried Star Frisbee twice. They enjoyed the ride a lot. But we were nervous as we watched the giant Frisbee swung to its highest limit. My son would also like to try Star Flyer (inverted roller coaster) but we discouraged him from doing so because I feel it’s not safe for him.
So, this is the only decent picture (groupie) we have at Star city. We were inside the Giant Star Wheel – the safest (for me) as it is one of the family rides.
