Manila Ocean Park - 2/17/13

Today I just feel like blogging and narrating some of my adventures this February :) I am actually converting this blog generally as a travel blog! It's like my online diary as well.

I didn't go too far to travel this time. As a matter of fact, my adventure is just in Manila! My friend, Lyca, and I had a mini "field trip" at Manila Ocean Park. :))) It was a commute day for me, but I don't mind because we had so much fun! :)

We arrived around 10am at the Manila Ocean Park complex and didn't waste time since we had lots of activities to do.

So here they are :
First stop, the OCEANARIUM

Clown fishes :)

Real sea horses! Cool :)

If I'm not mistaken, these are Angel fishes. :)

They have a special design for February :)

Then we pampered our foot, not with a foot massage, but with a FISH SPA

They tickle! hahaha :) we had a lot of shouting and giggling before we got the hang of it. Wahahaha! :))

Our third stop was the GLASS BOTTOM BOAT RIDE

We were also learning facts about the fishes :) - literally, it was a field trip for us! hahaha :)

hello there my favorite fish!

We had our seafood lunch at MAKAN MAKAN ASIAN FOOD VILLAGE :) yum yum yummy! <3

It's a very beautiful place to eat. Great food, great ambiance <3

Lyca with our food! Shrimp, Sambal Squid and Yang Chao Fried Rice! <3

At around 1:30, we watched the BIRD SHOW outdoor :)

Fifth stop is the cool and relaxing JELLIES EXHIBIT

parang nasa loob kayo ng laboratory with big blood cells. :))

Our sixth stop : the PENGUIN TALK SHOW

The penguin asked the audience to dance Gangnam Style! (and there's a CCTV Camera which can be viewed outside :| )

Then we went for one of my favorite attraction there : TRAILS TO ANTARCTICA

An encounter with the Penguins!

Included in the Trails to Antarctica is the 30-second ice slide! :)) (We got no picture for this)

Welcome to the snow village! :)

Inside the Snow Village :)) FREEZING COLD.

Our Eighth stop was the MARINE LIFE SHOW and MARINE LIFE HABITAT

Lovely and talented sea lions :))

Then we had some refreshments and snacks at the Pancake House, while watching the Manila Bay Sunset

Our last stop, the majestic MUSICAL FOUNTAIN SHOW! It exceeded our expectation of a fountain show. :) A great show to cap off our whole day at Ocean Park. :))

It was a long day for us, but we were glad to experience all the attractions! We even learned so much from the trip. Also, we were able to appreciate the sea creatures even more after this one day encounter with them at the Ocean Park, seriously. :) A highly recommended place to visit most especially for the kids.

After our Ocean Park trip, we took a Kalesa ride while touring Luneta/ Rizal Parks (meron na palang 1, 2, and 3 yun) before we parted ways and went home. :)

Fun Sunday!
