Of Anniversary and Relaxation in the City of Pines -- late post

This is a super late post, but anyway here goes:

We celebrated our 1st milestone last November 9, 2008 up in the City of Pines. This is also timely since I'm already burned out from the hustle bustle in the work place. It's very relaxing to feel the cool November breeze, smell the scent of pine trees around and just take our own sweet time exploring the city --the best part is-- we have each other for 4 sweet days!! READ: No interrupting phone calls, emails, computer games, errands, etc etc. No pressures and other stress-triggering matters.

Here are some of the photos we've managed to capture.

Discovering Science in Mall of Asia

I've heard of a Science Discovery Center in SM Mall of Asia since last year (i think!) and I've been wanting to go there since then but having an erratic and ever-changing schedule (at syempre ang iba pang mga pinagkakaabalahan aside from work ;p) I havent had the time. Fortunately, my now-more-normal-person-schedule allows me to go and have fun.

The entrance fee is 330php for the gallery display and the 30-minute show inside the Planetarium. It's worth the pesos since you can explore the place in your own pacing and try the different displays they have.

I really enjoyed this experience and I felt like i'm a kid again. Weeee hahaha :D

Below are very few photos I managed to take (notice this time I don't have a picture of my own fez --> just giving chance to others nyahahaha :p)

On the first floor there's Digistar Planetarium where they showed a 30minute (or less) clip entitled 'The Search for Life: Are We Alone' and narrated by Harrison Ford

Then there's the Transportation Nation where you can try the Flight Stimulation (hindi ma-reach ng utak ko kung pano aayusin ang pagpapalipad nun andun sa screen! waaah try nyo baka mapagtanto nyo!) also, I was able to design a car and was rated for the materials I've used per parts.

On the same floor, there's the Grossology section,


where we get to meet the Burp Man

And I won the Grossology game over Gene. Yey! hahaha ;p I know, I'm gross! nyahaha :p

On the second floor we entered the Virtual Reef where we get to meet Mr. Tee, the talkingfish


Gene here having a ♥-to-♥ talk with Mr. Tee. nyahahaha ☺

Oh! before I forget, on the first floor, we played volleyball, soccer and basketball in their Media City. I have a video clip of Gene shooting hoops virtually and it was really funny if your not looking on the monitor! ahahaha sayang I can't upload it since the file size is too large (o hindi lang ako talaga marunong! amp)

We had fun exploring the center.. You might want to check it yourself this weekend!

Topsey Turvey Ride [Delayed Posting]

Howdy folks?

I have had a lot of things going on -- did a lot of things, visited different places but I'm not able to blog it. You see I'm a photoholic, I love showing uploading photos instead of posting photo-less boring article. I have tons of pictures in my multiply site, call me narcissistic if you must, but that's me! [Fine, maybe I'm just being lazy-uh or whatever!]

Anyhoo, last December 8, I went out with zee boyfie and off we went to Mall of Asia for our pre-monthsary [is there even such a thing?!] date. ♥

Then we went to the Global Fun Carnival [a.k.a Eurostar Carnival] and I so looove their Ferris Wheel where I get a good view of the Metro, err, more like the side of Manila Bay. lol. We went inside attractions after attractions such as Pirates and Jurrasic. I'm not really a fan of those haunted house-like features wherein staff in ghoulish attires randomly jump out at you, literally, and give you a heart attack! [scares the hell outta me!] Zee boyfie wanted to ride the Ranger, the one that makes a full 360-degree turn. Geesh, I turned green just looking at the stomach-hurling ride. Instead, I suggested we ride Flipper first since it doesn't flip our stomach upside down. Lady luck must be on my side tonight as after the Flipper ride he felt sick that he didn't feel going in for another innards-flipping adventure. hahaha

Sneaky me took two shots of him unknowingly! [well, he actually saw it but is oblivious. lol]

G: 'Wait lang, let me sit for awhile, umiikot ang mundo ko' [my world's spinning] *Barf*
{eewww..}

PS: Well he didn't actually said those but it's fun to add dialogue ahaha.. but he did puke! 

He was seeing doubles after the Flipper ride! ☺[there goes our ride-all-you-can tickets]


So for now, I think we won't be going anywhere near a carnival yet! Dang!



What a day! Sending some love,

Witnessing a DocuFest ala iWitness

This day I was excited to meet up with lheng and watch iWitness' Docufest @ SM Manila Cinema. This was just like way back in college (it's not that long ago though I really miss watching the shows. I'm having a hard time catching even just an episode due to my current erratic schedule.)

I thought that the cinema will be half-empty (talk about pre-conceived notions! haha.. it's just that, before documentaries are..uh..well, not appreciated in a country were the mass favored the movie with the latest 'it boy or girl' rather than the socially-relevant films.)

Anywei, my fave was the episode of Kara David, wherein she featured two girls with a rare illness that lets their body grow old at a very faster rate than normal (it's physically obvious as well). This story is very heart-warming, to think that personally I don't like stories or issues wherein the topic is a rare disease or something just to pinch the heart of the audience, but this one is different, I can feel the sincerity.. or maybe it was done nicely (oh well, it's their job to 'capture' the audience!)

Kudos to the scriptwriter and to Kara for being not an overly dramatic host. (may puso pero hindi OA to the point that I might want to just puke sa ka-plastikan LOL! Ü)


PS: After this docufest thingie, I then rushed somewhere up north coz I'm meeting up with a friend and we'll catch a movie.



How's your day doing?
