Visit Ocean Park - Manila

If not for my friend Pari, i would probably never leave the house. She's got 2 kids of her own and i'm sure she's made of stronger stuff as she is much more willing to take the kids out to battle with traffic, people, noise, cranky kids and stuff! I just want to curl up and go to the park! haha!!

Anyways, so she invited us to join her to go to Ocean Park and just to NOT look like a complete wimp, i said OK. I even got our own taxi to get there!! Woo hoo!!

Ocean Park turned out to be a small aquarium and not nearly as fancy as the one we went to in KL. But it was fun for the kids and it was just nice to be out and doing stuff. It's scary to think that Alan and I who usually are active members of society are becoming home-bodies and the only time we go out is because i demand to be fed in a nice restaurant!! ha!

Tyler checking out the star fish. Didn't want to touch it though

For the record, he actually voluntarily kneeled to have his picture taken with Cody!!

After 3 attempts, my maid successfully takes a picture of me!

While we were there, we saw some divers in one of the bigger tanks. Thanks to "Finding Nemo", Tyler is no longer scared sh*tless when he sees a diver. He is even quite intrigued by them but taking a picture with them is still out of bounds of his comfort zone. He still thinks they are "bad" because they took Nemo away!

Oh, and they have a fish spa at the Ocean Park. Of course I had to go try. Pari has done it a few times and did it just to encourage her father in law to give it a try.

Me and Cody

Those fishes must really know what they are doing because when i put my feet into the water, they went CRAZY!!! Biggest feast that day and when Pari put hers in, there was hardly any nibbles because she had just gotten a foot spa the day before!! Mine are at the bottom, Pari's in laws at the top, Pari in the middle.

Notice the difference in the number of fishes around our feet.
