    Getting Touristy at UST

    Getting Touristy at UST
    If you have been with me for some time, you may have known that I am from The University of Santo Tomas which I'm really proud of by the way and I can't imagine myself being an alumni of a different institution. I don't mean to offend any schools of course. It's just a matter of preference. So last week, I went back to check and to run some errands that I would be needing for the board exam application and shiz like that but mostly to check and take some pictures and stuff like that. Well of course! Actually, I wasn't able to accomplish paper works because of stuff so I'll definitely come back for that soon.

    IN FRONT OF THE MAIN BUILDING NOT THE CHURCH
    I'm pretty sure I have a picture the same as this but I don't know. Just kidding! I'm not sure. Never sure on anything these past few days, eh? So I kind of already saw the things (major letterings) I am about to show you guys below but only in pictures so when I saw it in person, I was like, excited because come on! When will I be able to go to UST with these on? With no students? Not anytime soon. So yeah we took an ample amount of pictures!


    What I liked about this trip is that since there's no regular classes, there's literally just the two of us (my cousin and I) most of the time. Precious!


    I'm not gonna talk about my med issues to you but this one is pretty nice. I have an issue with the general idea of this though. I'm kind of bothered by the way they spelled the things because as you can see from above, it's like this MEd. Why though? Can't spell properly, huh?

    I CHOSE TO FEATURE THIS BECAUSE IT'S ALWAYS BEEN HER DREAM TO BECOME ONE.

    Okay so for some reason, I wasn't able to go out the arc just yet. But I kind of lost my interest in doing that but I might do it soon. And if  I do, I want it to be dramatic. LOL. You're probably thinking what the heck I'm talking about but it's like a tradition for first year students to enter the arch of the centuries and then exit upon graduation but then again I wasn't able to exit due to some unknown reasons so there you go.

    REPRESENT! :D

    This is probably the most exciting part of the trip. Like, I was so surprised that they placed this kind of seat and then I asked my cousin why is she not excited and she said she's pretty sure I'm the only one who got excited with the existence of this thingy. I'm pretty sure not! I don't know if this is like a permanent thing though. Because things come and go. LOL. True story. Anyways, it was such a fun experience to go back there. UST will always be my home away from home.

    Bond of Blood | Mother's Day Celebration

    Bond of Blood | Mother's Day Celebration
    GRAYISH BAY 

    We actually decided to stop by because our reservation is at 6 pm and we kind of left the house earlier than we should be so I guess it's a WIN-WIN situation. What I think about the Manila Bay now, you ask? It's still hella dirty and I don't know whether or not it will be better than that but then again, it kind of improved its situation comparing it from the last time I visited. 


    The smell of the bay is still horrible and not suitable but again, I don't know if that's even what they have to deal with but with a clean bay, it would follow, yeah?

    SOMEONE IS JUST FEELING IT
    AI have to say though! That the barrier's definitely higher and I remember ranting about that here, I don't know whether they're reading my blog or maybe they're just as brilliant as I am or whatever. Kidding of course!

       

    Here with my grandma and my two sisters


    My first plate! I know this looks unappetizing right now but these are good! :) Anyways, that's all I have to share with you right now! Good vibes!

    Laserlight!

    Laserlight!

    So this is actually the last part of our Manila Ocean Park trip and it was a good wrap up of the show I must say. I haven't watched anything like this before yet so it was quite a show.


    In the above picture, they kind of splashed water continuously so they could use that as their screen for some flashing stuff.


    And when they don't flash the things on that water splash thingy, they do it on their hotel's windows. Kind of.


    The chef who tried to capture the shrimp and the octopus by running around with his utensil. He kind of had a big knife for the octopus but I wasn't able to capture that moment.


    And then most of time, it's like this with some music. I can't actually remember the music or whatever so maybe they played melodies of some sort to carry on with the fountain show. :)

    Manila Ocean Park. Revisited!

    March 14, 2013 0
    Manila Ocean Park. Revisited!
    I mentioned here that I will be revisiting Manila Ocean Park! Not with my family but my cousin (still family) LOL. So I've decided to kind of have an overview, and then kind of have a different post for the fishes and jellies. 

    Okay let's go na.


    So I totally didn't notice this before. Or maybe it is because it was so crowded before. Since it's a Wednesday when we went, there weren't too much people around. Just perfect. 


    We first visited the Marine Habitat which is like, a pool and a back stage where they feed the mammal, I suppose? And probably where they train them as well. 


    The pool is not that big either so I kind of feel bad for the sea lions. Because you know, if you come to think about it, the sea lions shouldn't feel as if they're far from home so I was thinking that they shouldn't be placed in such a small place. And then we also watched the Sea Lion Show. 


    I was kind of surprised because they kind of have the same place for all their shows. So we were like, looking for the show's place because before the Sea Lion Show, they were showing the bird show and so I though that there would be a place for everything but yeah. Share share din.


    It was actually fun. I enjoyed it. I kind of want to comment though that it was too hot when we went and I think that the place should be covered or something because we can't really go near because the heat of the sun was like, we can't even. 


    The place was dark and as far as I'm concern, we're not supposed to do take pictures with flash but the camera that we used there didn't really have flash but it has some sort of light of its own so yeah. I hope we didn't offend any of the jellyfishes. The place was beautiful. It was a quiet place and the music was nice. Although I probably would recommend a playlist or some genius stuff from iTunes because they only play one song from Yiruma I believe. So there's that.


    And then to the Oceanarium. It was actually the only place we visited before in my A Look Back post so yeah it's the only place I revisited. Haha great. They actually have several sections inside. Like, there's a section for lake water fishes, and other creatures.


    Amsorry for the flash. I was surprised by the flash as well. Haha that face.


    I mentioned in my previous post that I will have a separate post for them fishes and jellies. ( I used to have it in a different post but less is more!)

        

    So there's that. 


    The last picture looks icky but it doesn't matter. 


    I would say the last frame's Jellies my favourite jellies. With their polka dots and all that.

       

    I think that's basically the same spot. Just different cameras used. 


    Can we just stop for a while and smile for this adorable creature? :) There you go. It was a little bit creepy to be honest.


    I think the place was interesting although I also think that their aquariums are too small. 


    The middle frame's fish is just creepy. 


    Sharks!  Much scarier in films.


    Or maybe they're not yet fully grown. Or malnourished.. That's all!


    I enjoyed the show. My cousin was like, we look like a little kid enjoying the show. But you know, even though we're both 21, we're both kids at heart. We will always be! :)


    And then one more picture before we go out of the building? That's all! Good vibes! :) I think the lights were cute.
