The (First) Amazing Race!

Tuesday, May 01, 2007

We made it!


Two teams raced all across South Metro Manila last Sunday, April 29, to win for glory in the Amazing Race: Young Adults Edition.


The prize? Tickets to Spiderman 3!!!


But the life lessons the teams learned are definitely more valuable than any season-premiere ticket.


So, once more, let's look back at those moments that defined our gutsy players from Team Ceejay and Team Budz :)

Team Budz:
Budz Estonilo
Hadji Briones
Faith Pormilos


Team Ceejay:
CJ Sison
Dave Golea
Anne Estonilo


The Race:



CJ tries to make up for lost time as he makes this Yamaha RS100 trike literally fly on the road during the first leg of the Race (Church to Don Juan). The task: Bring water to Pastor Alex' house.













The two teams ransack the Santos house for the next clue after misreading the last clue they received. (They should have been off to Festival Mall by now!!!)











Team Budz enjoys an early lead...time to relax a bit aboard a jeepney going to Festi.
"Hindi nila kaagad malalaman yung clue."--Faith








Run, Anne, run!!!
"Pagod na ako..." -- Anne

Looking for the next checkpoint at Festival Mall.
The task: Look for Sam. Buy a magazine closest to the birth year of your designated driver, then meet him at the parking lot.







"Sa wakas nakita ka rin!!!" -CJ
Linking up with Mark at the parking lot--finally! The team searched through three levels of parked vehicles before finding their designated driver.

And they also got the magazine task right :)







"Sino ang pinakamagandang receptionist dito?" --CJ
Linking up with Ate Maya at the Riviera Salon (you can visit this cool place at Buencamino St., corner Alabang-Zapote Road, by the way, and avail of their really great services!)










By now, Team Ceejay has a commanding lead, reaching Villa Villa in Las PiƱas first. The task: Get as many plastic eggs possible from the bottom of the swimming pool. The eggs contain money for them to buy a gift for a special person.








"Actually, ayoko nang umalis. Di bale nang matalo...I could see she was just happy for us to be there to visit her."--CJ
Team Ceejay poses for a souvenir photo with the ultimate objective, Mama Jorge :)
Now it's back to homebase, and a down-the-wire race ensues...





At the finish line, coming in at a close second, Team Budz. From left: Andoy, Hadji, Faith, Budz

Great race, guys :)










And the winner is: Team Ceejay!

Wrapping up at the post-race party.











So whaddya say we do this again? :)
