Star City Visit.

Star City Visit.
So it was my sister's birthday the other day and since she really has that something in her that doesn't allow us to kind of go further out the city, we stayed. Like, last year, we were supposed to go Baguio to celebrate her birthday and what happened was our car broke so my mom backed out and this time we were actually supposed to go to Laguna for some hot spring goodness but then again my youngest sister and I have some stuff to accomplish so we can't. Life.


So basically, my sisters and I went. Like, as always. Youngest sister not amused. LOL. Remember my cousin's pink lipstick? Well this is the red version of it.


Cousin being evil and put that demon thingy on my sister's head. Or like, peace sign? IDK.


Sisters! Love love love. As you may have noticed from the background, the park is themed Halloween so the reception kind of looked nice.


The reception might actually appear crowded but not really. Like, we hardly queued. and by that I mean, not more than 10 minutes or so of waiting for our turn to ride. Except probably STAR FLYER. But not by much.


I'm not really a fan of Peter Pan so I basically don't know who this guy is. But must take pictures. You know. Okay serious stuff now. The first stuff we actually rode was this ride right here.


I swear it is up to no good.

The thing is we usually go for the milder rides first before the main attractions so after this ride, we were all dizzy as eff. Like, seriously. I'm not sure whether it was just us or whatever but this stuff I can only ride probably once a year. Like, I can't even explain.


The ride basically goes round and round up above and stuff.


It is a relatively new ride and so people are probably just trying this one out. But I promise you! It's UP TO NO GOOD. 


It's kind of scary  but it really makes you so so dizzy afterwards. We kind of regretted riding it first because we didn't have enough energy throughout our stay. But then whatever. 

We noticed how people are not coming back to ride this ride again because at the end of the day, not a big deal anymore. I guess. I actually honestly think that this ride is really meant to make people dizzy. No more purpose other than that.


This is the second thing we rode. Which is our bad luck number 2. Since we were dizzy from the colorful thingy that we rode first, we can't even. Plus! They had to stop the ride at the middle so to unload a dizzy passenger. And so the ride operators decided to restart the time and so we were there for like FOREVER.


We entered all the horror houses almost twice. Oh look! Youngest sister not amused once more. Waz wrong though? And then we had dinner! 


Yup! Chicken everyday. LOL.


And we had some ice cream too.


I'm actually impressed on how there are details added to the rides. Like they added Madagascar on this roller coaster and Pirates on the anchor ride. There are then two pirate rides. Sort of. 


Youngest sister not amused hahaha. And this is us in front of the Pirates ride. 


I don't know what happened to this picture but anyways. Me likey.  That's all! :)

Manila Zoo Visit

Manila Zoo Visit
So I kind of wanted to visit this zoo for quite a while now. I've been there maybe three times but the last time I went there was way back high school so that's kind of way way way back. There's a lot of controversies going on so I kind of wanted to see it for myself.

Let's get started.



This is actually the first thing we saw. And I was like, WTF? And then when we kind of moved a little, we saw that people are kind of looking at something there so OFF we go.


I don't actually know why but the elephant was temporarily placed there. But then again after we actually passed thru the reptile tunnel, the elephant was freed.


I actually didn't hear it or anything but my cousin actually told me that the elephant was banging the wall and all that stuff. I wonder why though. So as I was telling you, we went through the reptile stage and guess what? I discovered that my iPhone works better than my digital camera when it comes to taking pictures inside the glass thing.


Very short walk but interesting place. Like, not extraordinaire or whatever. Something you would expect to see in a zoo. Actually, kind of less but whatever. 




With the two pictures of snakes above, if you can tell, there's actually a kind of big bump or whatever. The reason behind it is that there are actually live chickens inside their cage and yeah.



These two are actually untouched. Few girls actually screamed when we were on the other end of the tunnel and my cousin reckons that it was due to the snakes eating the chickens. Which is actually a good hypothesis if you ask me. Or maybe they're just playing around. So...




More reptiles. 




For some reason, we really have an issue with the low barrier wood kind of thingy. We felt kind of unsafe with it because we actually don't know what to expect. Sort of. They should have placed the animal's identification at the very front so we would know. 




Also! I think that since the zoo is actually quite big, they should somehow consider renovating it to kind of give equal amount of space to animals. Just saying. Like, I think this cage alone is pretty small for them all. 


This one too. I probably get the idea that they kind of want to let the animals live together and all that stuff but yeah. I think it would have been better if they were given their own space. I think.




Or they probably just want to live together. Okay, I have nothing to say to that.




I don't know if we counted it right, but we think there are four tigers inside the zoo. There are only three in this collage thingy because the two pictures below are actually the same tiger.


Okay so we continue. :D

Just when I though this spot is perfect for a picture, there's some tetra pack below the bench. Oh well. Life.


This is supposed to be the cage where the porcupine is. Well, the porcupine is actually there. But how the hell can we see it? People are trying to mess with us. Really.

Like, seriously?


Some dark horses. They're actually cute.



For some reason, when we were about to leave the zoo, the birds actually screeched really loud and all that. Which actually scared us a little bit. But whatever. And just a fun fact, the zoo keepers need to teach their parrots some manners. When we approached the parrot (second frame) it said PANGIT (ugly) LOL. Sooo mean!




Need some improvement on bird cages too, aye? But I like this bird. Kind of colorful.



They probably need to touch up paints too. Oh wells. And then we went to Robinson's Place Manila to get some stuff mom asked us to get for them and all that.


LOL for inappropriate blog pictures.

Everybody Grows Up.

Everybody Grows Up.
Just a little update, this how MOCHA'S PUPPY (inappropriate caps lock-ing) LOL. So yeah. She's just so cute and she likes to bite toes. And more.


Let me just show to you a photo that I took just recently.




She's so fluffy! Like, I can't even.




Cute! Like, she's really cute. But of course, babies are supposed to be cute so I can't really tell. LOL.




Actually, lucky for me that I was able to snap a photo because usually, she would jump around and try to escape this mini labyrinth of hers. Tongue out means ready to bite. LOL.



She's just so precious! LOL. We actually think that she looks like Mocha, her mother. I don't know why but it's been a while since Mocha actually conceived a puppy that looks like her. WEIRD. I think the last time was Genki. Not sure. You know because some of them died so we can't tell. That's the sad part.



Here's a revolution chart that I made. Hope you'll appreciate the little effort I made. LOL. And just because I said EVERYBODY UP THE TITLE, Here's a Shiki update. (MY DOG. NOT PUPPY) anymore.




Shiki is so much bigger now. Like, big enough to actually guard the house.
