Ocean Park

The last time we went at Ocean Park was 4 years ago to celebrate Vann's birthday. The place has changed quite a bit. It became better and they have included more activities and they also offer different discounts depending on your choices of activities. Hop on to their website to know more about the details.

Anyway, this post is just a quick one as this was a family getaway, and Vann and I were just saling pusa to the trip. (Thanks so much Kuya!) Haha. 

Although they have already included a lot of activities, attractions, the Oceanarium is still their main attraction. It is where you could experience to see different kinds of species of sea creatures. The Oceanarium itself is composed of different stations. In each station is where species of similar family are placed. 

Upon reaching the place or admission area, you are welcomed with lists of different packages of activities. Of course, the more activities you choose, the higher the entrance fee is. But in our honest opinion, you get to have your money's worth so might as well consider getting the highest number of activities to get the most out of your Ocean Park experience. In our case though, we chose the least one as we were considering our travel time going home. Unfortunately, my 2 year old niece felt so tired on the latter part of the tour, that we decided not to pursue with the Musical Fountain Show anymore. Nevertheless, it didn't lessen the fun that we had! 

Oceanarium might get a little boring for 2nd timers, but Sea Lion Show and Jellies Exhibit saved our boredom. Despite the hot weather, we were very much entertained by the sea lions. They were so cute and mind you, they were also intelligent mammals. The show was worth the scorching heat we felt while watching. 

For the last part, we were fascinated by the motions created by Jelly Fishes. Their soft bodies are able to transmit light so when you place them in a glass surrounded by changing colors, the view they create will surely swipe you tiredness for walking for hours. 

Morning Walk

Taken during our first morning walk in 2013. We really hope to be able to maintain this kind of morning routine in our lifestyle. So far, so good. Doing this for two weeks already. And if you notice, we still call it morning walk. We're doing it one step at a time. Hopefully, we can already call it jogging. And that we can really do pure jog without hurting our fat and lazy bodies so much.
