Manila Ocean Park

Almost 2 weeks ago, Mom and I were able to avail the Mid-Year Mega Bonus of Manila Ocean Park.


It was, however, our first time to visit the ocean-themed park since it opened 2005.  We chose the Deep Sea Rush package which costs 550 pesos inclusive of the attractions such as Oceanarium and Jellies Exhibit -- Sharks and Rays Dry Encounter, Fish Spa for 20 minutes and the amazing 15-minute Sea Lion Show! Isn’t that wonderful?
Tickets



First stop

Just at the entrance, you will see this souvenir shop selling various Ocean Park memorabilias such as stuff toys, shirts, tumblers, and more. And to think that we were as excited for cute stuff, I requested to buy some for myself.

But.. I wanna buy all!

Mom bought pink shirt (Note: Most of the shirt that they sell was of the little size, Philippine size, I guess)


I chose this cutie penguin! <3 :)

JELLIES EXHIBIT


If you are a fanatic of these calm-looking creatures, you will love them here! I never thought jellyfishes come of many types - super unexpected. I loved the viewing atmosphere because there were no light at all. Just the colorful lights inside the aquariums were present in the room. An additional excitement will occur because piano pieces are played! e.g., Beethoven's, Mozart's etc., (tho I am not a fan of piano pieces)

Color of the jellyfish in the image captured depends upon the color of the light present during the capturing time. (That's why)






Sea Lion Show

Since the show is scheduled 11 am and we finished the exhibit 30 minutes before 11, we decided to go ahead the place of the show.


EMPTY SEATS. Got the chance to take a picture since it was already early







That sea lion made me go back to my childhood nostalgia as he made me laugh, throughout the show. I became an instant sea lion fan <3 Amazeballs at its finest!

FISH SPA

I look forward for the fish spa experience since it's my second time to try it out. Compared to those in Star City, where I first experienced it, fishes in the MOP were bigger. That made me feel more relaxed. Oh how I love fish spa.


 On the other hand, Mama did not enjoy it. *giggles* 

OCEANARIUM

This large aquarium has been shown on TV many times and I am just so happy to see it in person. Finally!


I can stay here for long!



I will definitely go back here, if given the chance.. because I wanna try this..

Of Kariman and Uncle John's Fried Chicken

Mini Stop has been known for their signature kariman – with various of special fillings on it inside. I admit I haven’t tried one but I finally did a while ago. :) I believe Kariman is sort of a Japanese food since the convenience store originated in Japan. Relatively, it was a cross between a meat bun and a fried sandwich, according to Sybdive  It contains fillings (whether sweet or savory) stuffed into a piece of yeast dough, sealed, dipped in egg wash, rolled in   panko , and deep-fried till the outside is golden brown and crunchy to the bite. Going back, upon buying Uncle John’s fried chicken meal for my lunch, (which for me is worth-the-buy because of the generous size of the chicken and comparing to other stores offering  the same type of meal, I believe it can be included on your choice) I decided to have Cookie Karamel Kariman since it was only ten pesos. Surprisingly, it was delicious. It tastes like cookie butter with...

How Well my 2014 Went

I can say that my 2014 was the year that I embraced changes about myself (disregard my chubbier cheeks and bigger tummy tho, hahaha!) Anyway, this was the year that I graduated and had my first job. Using “had” because today will be my last day here in PSRC. I am just happy that I am feeling relieved. I had so many realizations during my stay here and it really helped me to gain deeper understanding on things. I always keep in mind that change is inevitable, and that change is good. I am always afraid of it in the first place. What if I lose? What if I fail? But then, I realized that moving forward is almost the same thing as moving ahead. If you really wanted to succeed in life, you should not be afraid to take risk, and accept challenges, and if you wanted a certain thing for yourself, you should work hard for it. My 2014 is all about my career. I had so many questions about my job during my first three months and spent time for overthinking about the path that i chose. Is...
