Meet and Greet with My Favorite Boys

After waiting and wondering how I look at the pictures of my Meet and Greet with the Jabbawockeez, I now know the answer. I have receieved a tweet from MMI (Music Management International) that some of the pictures of the meet and greet are already available at the website of Channel V so I immediately visited the link and saw that my picture was already up together with my friends' pictures with their own Meet and Greet.

And here are the results of our most awaited pictures:

We're still waiting for the other pictures that will be posted by MMI on their facebook account.
My picture with the whole gang of Jabbawockeez is really something that I will treasure forever. I was even planning of having it printed on a tarpaulin as a memorabilia.

My Weekend Subic Adventure

Here are some pictures that I took during our Ocean Adventure escapade. Almost everyone there is sporting a DSLR camera but sadly, I don't have one. I don't even have a Digital Camera so I just used my handy Nokia N70 cellular phone.

A Closer Look at Ocean Life

 

Ocean Adventure features different sea animals with extraordinary talents. As we entered, there were students having their field trip. We were given schedule for the 4 shows. We ate our late lunch and then went to the first show, the sea lion show. It features Brandy, a really adorable sea lion. He was such an awesome performer, and he can dance!

Next stop was the “In the Wild” show where they show forest survival and present some of the animals that can be seen in the forest which includes the animal that scares me the most, SNAKES!! We skipped the third show and headed to the aquarium where we saw different kinds of fish, corals and little sea creatures. What intrigued us the most was the Stone Fish which is not moving at all, thus the name. It just stays in one place and it looks like just a stone that had been there for years.

The last show is the dolphin’s show. They saved the best for last. We were already seated in the stadium waiting for the dolphin show. There were 5 dolphins that performed with one false killer whale. They were such amazing and adorable mammals. All the people were amazed by their tricks.

I had fun watching the adorable dolphins twist and turn in the air. They all look so cute. It made me realize to care more about our nature, every little step counts.

Hot Air Balloon Fest 2010

 

It was so early in the morning when I had to wake up and prepare for a big day that is coming my way, HOT AIR BALLOON FEST! I was invited by my classmates and thinking that it will be a good time to relax, have fun and leave the very stressful city behind, I happily obliged to join them.

It will be held in Clark, Subic. It will be my first time to be there, in Clark I mean. While nearing the venue, we were stuck in traffic because of the big crowd who are also seeing the event. Having seen the cars that were parked in the venue, it was like half of people in Metro Manila are here. After a not much long wait for us to find a parking spot for Shadowfax (my classmate’s car), we walked to the main gate of the venue. We had to fall in a line to purchase our tickets which costs P150. We had planned to go somewhere else first because we weren’t able to be there in time for the hot air balloons to float in the air. But after purchasing our tickets, we have decided to go inside and see what’s happening. The theme of the event was like a fair with different booths. We felt like we were in a school fair that time.

The event does not only feature hot air balloons but everything, as in EVERYTHING that flies, from our (antique) fighter planes to hot air balloons, helicopters, paragliders, sky divers, and even kites. There were different types of people that attended the event, families, couples, friends, classmates. It was a good day to just relax, look up at the sky and appreciate the beauty of life. We were able to watch the exhibition of pilots. Great performance! We were also able to see 3 hot air balloons going up and down in the sky.

We left the venue and we plan to be back in the afternoon to witness the night glow of the hot air balloons. We went to the Treetop Adventure. We traveled for more than an hour. We saw the Subic International Airport. Treetop Adventure features extreme challenges/adventures such as free fall, superman, and many others that I can’t remember. It is a place where you can challenge yourself do something extreme and test your courage in heights. Since I’m afraid of heights, I know that I won’t try to do something like that, in the near future. But it is a good idea to have a bonding with your love one. It is almost like flying in the air, up in the trees. We decided to just try Ocean Adventure.
