Manila Zoo Day

sometimes we come to a point when we go back to our childhood and be amazed at the simplest things.

at 10am, id already taken all of my class for today. as usual me and my boyfriend jacer will meet up at the mall; sm manila which is nearest to my university. we took our lunch and took our rest by sitting in the bench. we talked about where we should go. we first checked out the national museum but its closed on mondays. we took a gamble and went to the manila zoo.

there wasnt many visitors really. in fact it was sunny and a little bit windy. a perfect day to take a walk, chit chat along the way, have snacks and looks at the animals. HAPPY DAY. :]

here are the pictures.

ANIMALS

the elephant. old fellow. i think he's still the one i saw when i was in kindergarten.

the ostrich. big bird that eats grass. i think he's going bald. he doesnt have much feathers left in his wings.


the iguanas. sticks out its tongue to cool itself



a bunch of turtles hanging out in a small pool for themselves.



crocs. a big scary looking monster. a bit lazy though. didnt move much.



the phyton snake! fat reptile! i was able to touch it and feel its skin. sort off like a soft meat. mushy. no. its not slimy okay? its smooth.



the deers. eating in its stable. enjoying the shade.



a handsome white horse like in a fairy tale. nah. not really. hehe.



the zebra. makes me dizzy.



an owl who wouldnt face the camera. shy.



scarecrow. real black. and real noisy too.



a big koi fish.



a big BIG fish. i dunno what its called. kind blurred because of the sunlight over the water.


i couldnt take all the pictures of the animals there. some of them are in cages. it wasnt a pretty picture to take. the monkeys are hyper active. some even throw bananas at us. meanie! the orangutan kept begging off for food. the care taker warned us to be careful. at incident occured that he snatched a cellphone and smashed the thing. unpredictable. then up close i saw a real big siberian tiger. wonder why? because we took a peek at the off limits section. haha! pasaway! it was feeding time. we cant cross the off limits gate so yeah, we missed the lions. i didnt forget to take pictures of the place too.


a mini playground.



beside the pond where we sat.



the luscious trees in the zoo.





the pond view. renting boats are available. we rather not ride one. we dont know how to swim! and the water's murky and icky.

the day ended being happy, content and memorable.

i find the joys on simplest things and some people would find it rather low or corny. so yeah. but to me, that simplicity makes me happy because in it there is sincerity.

childish as it may seem. i wouldnt take it for granted or miss it for the world. a day spending and sharing time together as if you are the only one living in this world. irreplaceable.



thank you for a wonderful, time and experience. ill forever treasure this. you make me happy.
i love you so much dhie.
