Another's Kids Day- Manila Ocean Park

           I was like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.----- Isaac Newton 

          The ocean is one of the places I wanted to explore but I don't have the courage. Honestly I don't know how to swim, and If I see big waves, like for an instance when riding a boat, I come trembling down. I love looking at aquariums with fishes swimming as if the water provides them positive energy. I was already offered scuba diving and asked to ride a submarine but I have these thought that I might die if I do so I declined. Lol! When I was a kid, I saw that there is this big aquarium that can be seen in Singapore where you can see marine animals as if they are in there natural habitats. I wanted to go there, I even cried it out to my mom but we don't have the means (poor me). So I was indeed very happy when Manila Ocean Park opened here in the Philippines. At last, I can feed my curious mind on what we can see at the bottom of the ocean, not on TV and not on Internet but in ACTUAL!

           Me and my college  friends decided to go here for a feasibility study that we were doing before. Our study is a restaurant with an ocean park theme that's why we need to see the actual park to have an idea. Honestly, the reason we went there was pure FUN only. lol. The ocean park is located in Pasay. We got there early  so we decided to stroll first and wait till the Park is open to the public.

Checking out packages that we can avail :)

And because it is sooo long, Picture :)

Tired already, we haven't had fun yet! common! :D

My beautiful girlssss :D

       After waiting for the Ocean park to open, Finally they let visitors in. There were quite some tourist visiting the area, usually kids, but hey! We are kids, kids at heart :) The Park is big, you can see there small and huge aquariums with a lot marine life in different sizes. If you could tell how happy I was? I was like ^___________^. There are also several packages that you can choose, it depends on what you want to see and what you want to encounter. There some extra attractions there that you can avail once your inside the park. There are also restaurants inside and souvenir shop too.

My Favorite area in the park, lovely right? :)

This caught my attention, I so like BAGING :)


There is a big arwana behind us :)


I dont know what those are, Are they edible? Just a thought :)


I am the king of the ocean (feeler xD)


Small Aquariums with small fishes :)

Emote with Daeme Epi :)

Perfect, galing ng nagpicture :)

        Aside from fishes swimming around the aquariums, there is this section that really caught my attention. Who among you hate jelly fish? Well, I do, specially when I enjoy my self swimming on  a beach and they come swarming around me, Gawd! It would give my swim such a bad vibes. Instead of me swimming and enjoying, I would end up on a marathon, running away from them. But when I saw this area of jellyfish in an aquarium I was amazed! They where tagged as Dancing Sea Fairies and it was such a wonderful sight!

Aren't the lights great? 

        As we go along the trail,  there are some things here that shows the Filipino culture. There is an area where you can see Jeepneys, Sorbetes  and the like as an attraction within the area. There is also a place that shows Dinosaur for the kids. We really enjoyed having photo opportunities here! 

Big Buuuug :)

Stoooooppp!

Ahhhhhhhh :)

A view from the Manila Bay :) (manila bay nga ba?) hahaha

Ice Cream anyone? :D

         After walking and being exhausted, its a good thing they have this Fish Spa area. I really loved this one, the idea is that you will soak your feet at a pool with small fishes. This fishes would come nibbling the dead cells in your feet. It does not only give an extreme relaxation but it cleanses off the dead cells as well. It took us around 30 minutes sitting there enjoying the ticklish sensation of the fishes nibbling our feet! Lol. 

It's actually ticklish to be honest!

I dont know who's legs are these, Daemie? or Jess? 

               After we have explored the park inside, there is a sea lion show on the activity area outside. These sea linos are so cute and they were trained to do tricks that made not only kids enjoy the show but also us, the kids at heart. They also asked audience for participation. 

There were 2 sea lions here, I think mag jowa ata sila? ahaha 

Trainer providing the instruction :) Very bright indeed. 

Enjoying the show :) 

              It was indeed a tiring day. But this fed our curious mind what to see underneath the ocean. It might not be actual but at least it shows the idea on what to see. There are still a lot of things that you can see in the ocean. I hope someday I can explore it with my own eyes riding on a submarine or something... SOMEDAY
