.. Intramuros, our history ...

          Some Filipino people who visits Manila would actually neglect the idea of visiting Intramuros. Some would call this place as a piece of ordinary history but little they know that Intramuros is certainly full of memories. Everything here is about our history, about the lives of the Filipino people before and the sacrifices they have to do to save our country and their fellow countrymen.

... musical fountain show .. :D

         After the dancing jelly fish adventure, we visited the sea lion show and we had foot spa as part of the package. But we didn't really focus on that since we already had sea lion show back when we visited Subic and for the foot spa, well, we can have that in Iloilo City.  After a short rest we went  to the last part of our package, the musical fountain show. Sounds interesting, right? We looked for our seat right in front of the pool so we wouldn't  miss anything about the show. The show started at around six o'clock in the evening. Again, that was the first time that i get to see that kind of show. I was really enjoying it from the start up to the end. The characters were great, the sounds were beautiful , and the lights were amazing. And for my Manila Ocean Park adventure, this is my favorite part.

... dancing jelly fish ... ;)

          After exploring the Oceanarium, lets now continue our Ocean park adventure in what they call the dancing jelly fish. We went inside a dark room and heard a beautiful music and found different sizes and shapes of aquariums inside. They all have jelly fish, different sizes and species i guess. The jelly fish changes its color every few seconds maybe because of the lights being placed inside the aquarium. I was so amazed and fascinated with those jelly fish, even though they're doing nothing, they just keep on swimming and swimming. Maybe because it was my first time to see so many jelly fish in one place. lol..

         Ocean Park in Manila is our next destination. First stop Oceanarium. Well, you will get to see different species, sizes, and color of fishes. All the fishes that I could think of is actually there (except for the kind of fish that we cook and eat, hahahha). They have this huge aquarium inside with lots of fishes swimming everywhere, very nice place for kids i should say.

Boracay island adventures!

         Party is over in Boracay, its now time to enjoy the adventures of the island. For our first activity, lets go do helmet diving and reef walking. Sounds fun, right? have you tried it? if you haven't then definitely your missing a lot. hahaha.. In helmet diving you get to go down several feet under the sea with this very heavy metal helmet, about 10 kgs. or more maybe but when your under water the helmet gets lighter about 2 kgs. The helmet is pressurized so there's no way water could go inside and you can breath freely down there. Once there, you get to see and feed different species of  fishes. You can also have your picture taken since the package includes a cd with all your pictures.

        After the helmet diving, lets go island hopping. We get to visit the other side of the resort and enjoy the beauty of the entire island. After that, we went snorkeling, then we went swimming, what a fun filled day... That night we also went bar hopping and witnessed dancers doing fire dancing. Another thing to enjoy in this beautiful island.

         There are so many things to enjoy in Boracay island so if you happen to visit this place one of these days, make sure that you enjoy every bit of your time because it's definitely worth it. ;)

drink 'til we drop.. Boracay island!

               The best way to enjoy Boracay is to be with your friends and probably your special someone too. Yes, its nice to be with your family in this beautiful island but if you want to enjoy Boracay until you drop then i suggest go there with your friends, your hubby, your partner or your special someone! ;) I've been there several times with my family but i never thought Boracay would be that fun and enjoyable until i went back there with my friends. Not the best vacation i've ever had but definitely the most memorable one. 

              We took a five hour drive to that famous beach and arrived around eight in the morning. We ate our breakfast and we started our most awaited vacation. Excited! Changed into our beach attire and started to enjoy every bit of our time. Under the striking sun we went walking, took pictures, looked for hot guys, had our self tattooed (fake one), ate ice cream, and took a dip in that clear water beach until we get tired. And who would ever missed that beautiful sunset? Waited for that beautiful moment for our cameras to capture.

              We had our dinner reservation to this very nice bar (i had it reserved 2 weeks before, hahaha). Luckily, that same night some of the famous bands and singers from Manila like Wolfgang, Gloc 9, Chicosci, Parokya ni Edgar and more will be performing live.  Plus some famous celebrities like Iya villania, nikki gil and luis manzano will be there also.  We were given table right in front, just next to the VIP people, very nice.. ahahhaha.. I cant actually tell you what really happened but one thing is for sure, we  had the best time of our lives, no need to elaborate on that, you all know what happened, right?
