Feeling Nostalgic

I'm just feeling nostalgic today. I'd like to go back to Manila Ocean Park with my baby despite of visiting the place for many times already. Being in this kind of place reminds me so much of my childhood. I remember going to the zoo with my parents after school. It was very memorable! It also made me the person that I am today -Someone who has great love for animals especially for cats, dogs & fishes! I used to have a mini aquarium back in grade school but I was deeply saddened when my fishes died. So I stopped having one ever since. I blame it to unexpected brownouts/blackouts.

Life Changing Experience

All I ever think about is F-O-O-D. It's something that I just can't get rid out of my system. Sometimes I want to suppress my appetite but I just can't. It's too hard when you have great love for food. No wonder why I've gained so much weight during my HS years. I was teased by many because I was fat. But it became one of my motivations to lose weight. I enrolled in an aerobics class and refused to eat anything that's fattening. I've shed off some pounds and I am quite happy with my figure now. It was indeed a life-changing experience for me.

But I have to admit that I am starting to eat a lot again. I've been eating fastfoods lately but I really am trying to control myself. It's hard when eating is really your passion. But whenever I remember the times when people criticized me because of my figure, i can't help but cry sometimes. I have to stop my bad eating habits as early as now because I might regret it later on.

Manila Ocean Park

Last saturday, my family and I went to Manila Ocean Park. Manila Ocean Park is the Philippines' first modern oceanarium. Inside you'll find open water marine habitat, souvenir shops and restaurants. My trip began with a trail through a jungle. I took lots of pictures with my family while trekking through the man-made jungle. After a short jungle trip we went straight to Bahura(Coral Reef) which is known as the "center of the center of marine biodiversity". I was captivated with the beauty of Coral Reef. I didn't expect that we have mesmerizing coral reef inhabitants here in the Philippines. Laot(Fishing Ground) was our next stop. I saw the fishes that are normally consumed as food. Buhay na ka Karagatan(The Living Ocean), is my most favorite part! The 25 meter walk allowed me to witness how different marine species interrelate with each other. Ang Kalaliman (The Deep), not so interesting but nice to look at. Pating(Sharks) and Pagi( Stingrays) were the last two aquariums I saw before leaving the Oceanarium. Our Oceanarium journey was short yet worthwhile. We had our dinner at Makansutra. It is where you will find the best cuisines in Asia! The food was superb!
