Ziplines and more

I've always wanted to consider myself as the adventurous girl, though I'm not that confident that I am. :D Well, simply because even if I have the guts to get on the wild side, there is still a greater part of me that screams cowardness and pessimism.
On the greater side, My "laagan" roots was nagging me to try this one, so I knew I had too. The zipline over water, at Papa Kit's Liloan was something new for me somehow.
This was my second time to try riding a zipline and I already learned a lot from my past experience.
First. Thou shall not wear shorts!
-My advise would be to wear leggings or pants because shorts would just interfere with the harness. This would lead to WEDGIE shorts which we wouldn't want to happen. Plus, it hurts badly that you wont enjoy the ride well.
Second. Let GO
-You can never truly enjoy the indescribable thrill if fear is in your mind. Well, it is normal to be fearful at first but once you're harnessed and ready to go, release this negative energy and just enjoy the ride. Well, unless you acrophobic, you'd make an exemption. However, this is also a good test to fight the phobia off. Always remember that safety is already established that is why we should trust these authorities and luxuriate in what we have paid for.
Third. Bring your camera with you
- The video would be much more appealing if the camera is with the rider's hand. This was my biggest regret that time when I chose not to bring my cam with me due to the fear of it slipping from my hands. I really wanted to do it again though but.... (refer to Last advice)
Lastly. Prepare extra money for you will definitely want to ride it again and again
-Yeah. Another regret of mine was that I did not bring extra money for another ride. It was a good thing though that most of the ziplines I know offer a 50% discount on the second ride. Just so sad that I wasn't able to purchase another ride. So I'd remind myself and others that one ride is never enough.

Below is a picture and a video of me in the zipline. Full detail of the place would be on the next post.
You should be excited, not scared. :)
