Hakkeijima Sea Paradise

June 07, 2016 1
Hakkeijima Sea Paradise






This place has always been a part of me growing up. We go here probably once a year or two to watch the dolphins and all that shizz. I'm glad to be able to come back. 










To be honest, I don't remember anything. Must have been different pushing baby strollers than just walking on your own. 










Sea Paradise is indeed a paradise. It has 4 aquariums and a decent amusement park. I like it. Subtle.   







Scary




Focus







As much as I also like the idea of releasing them to their natural habitat, I can't complain because they all look so well fed. So keep it up.







Sea Lions




Beluga Whales




Dolphins







Way way back ago when we used to go to these shows, I once dreamed of becoming a trainer. I still want to become one.

Dolphin Fantasy






Just hangin' out with mah hommies.







Kare Rice 



Cutie





Cute dolphin that's always ready for the camera. The dolphin is wounded though so maybe that's why he's in a different quadrant. 






Choo choo







I think this was our first ride besides the train. I also had headache after. The kids that we rode with were just playing and riding over and over again. 









Favorite ride ever. I miss this already. I think I read it somewhere that this is the longest rollercoaster? Fastest? Can't recall which.










I'm a sucker for sunsets and that time, I got to watch one. It was beautiful. 







Anchor ride





The place was so not crowded even it's a Holiday so we were able to ride then and there. Awesome isn't it?







Peter Pan's ride







I remember being terrified of this ride as a kid. I didn't really ride before but I had this notion that this is a scary ride so glad to be able to break past that. 






The Tower





Can I just say that this concept should be a thing. Everyone sits and the thing goes up, and you appreciate the view. Most of the time, it's you queuing, and walking, and make your way thru by-standers so you can't really see the view all that much. Hear this please.

Night View







It was a nice trip back to my childhood. I'd be glad to come back again with my sisters for they might not remember a thing about this. Ciao!

One Night Stand

One Night Stand






You ever felt like going to a place to sort of try to reminisce and stuff? That's what I tried to do not so long ago. And it was so peaceful. I'm glad. 










went to Minato Mirai. Of all the places, my favorite place to hang out gave me sort of a bad memory to remember. Not whilst I was there though because for all I know, it was magical while it lasts. Anyways. I kind of went there to let it go. Yeah, the song. And you know, as much as I wanted to be angry and all that, I felt very calm. 










I mean, do I still want to hang out in there, of course yes. Will I remember things, yes. Will it still matter? Meh. Not for long. 










It was so beautiful that night. I was just mesmerized by the lights and everything. Always. Whenever I feel alone, I'd go here alone and it won't matter anymore. Ano daw? Hahaha 










This place is close to Chinatown and somehow, this boat reminds me of a Chinese lantern. 










Anyways, eyeliner on flick. Hahaha in fairness it didn't come from me. Sabi ng baby sister ko yun. I guess I'm getting better at it after all this time that I've been trying/failing and convincing myself that I don't need it naman. 










Beautiful. Oh my and for some reason, even before, I noticed that the Gondola is always green. Like, of course I don't stare at it, right? But when I turn to look at it, it's always green. Why though?










Also, it was windy. Irrelevant. 










I always wanted to ride these but you know, when I go out, I'm always like alone so maybe when the time comes, I'll get myself to ride alone. But for know, the idea of it kind of gets me off. 










:)










Whenever I come to this place, I remember my sisters. Hello sisters! :) Wish you two were here. 










It's always Christmas here. 












After I walked and stuff, I felt hungry and I heard before that there's a good ramen place inside the World Portal. I actually didn't see a lot of ramen place in there so I guessed this is it. But you know, so-so. 













I'm really clueless in operating my camera at night so what I do is that I turn it to sports mode and then take several photos and then I choose. My life. This one is good.

Can't wait to go back!
