Family Weeked at Ninoy Aquino Wildlife Park

By
“We go zoo and see ammals (animals) Mama?” These are the rare moments when Dodo urges us to take them out and discover nature with their innocent minds. How can I say no to it? Since we already went to Manila Zoo and our plan was really to spend our afternoon walking in UP Campus, we decided to take them to Ninoy Aquino Wildlife Park, which is along the way.

I have to admit it was my first time there and it gave me a shock of a lifetime. I am just surprised that aspiring models and photographers are everywhere. It’s like 30 steps away from each other most especially in the lagoon area. The place was crowded with models and photographers. But I love seeing Filipino families value time they spend for their family. It is very heart warming.

Anyway, seeing the kids’ inquisitiveness makes me want to bring them more to places like these. They learn few things outside of their comfort zone. They had fun in every stop watching every fowl in their ginormous cages. 



I also allowed them to be carefree and let them be kids by getting dirty without the worry of catching harmful bacteria. Dodo asks a lot of questions as we go along the way while A touches every bit of small flower from the grass she sees. The presence of stray cats makes her giggle and so with other animals.


By 4:30pm we went to UP Campus to continue the weekend adventure. We had to treat them a little dose of energy so they have something to burn later on. After having their ice cream, we went to a vacant lot. I started blowing bubbles and asked them to pop it one by one. The genuine happiness I see in their faces was totally priceless. They were cheerfully running around trying to pop each bubble and of course a little stumble in between but I couldn't care less. They have to experience what it is to be a carefree kid.

Before heading home, we stopped by our newfound book thrift shop in Maginhawa Street and scored few books and a collectible toy for Dodo.

I hope to share more of our weekend adventure as a family. What is your favorite weekend activity? Share yours.

Myra Ultimate Dietary Supplement Review

Health is wealth. I have said this countless times to my children and everyone else. Now this pandemic reminds us that we need to take care of ourselves more since we are battling a virus. Aside from exercise, healthy food, and vitamins that we take everyday, we also need to take care of our skin. Even though we are at home most of the time, we must not neglect the protective layer of our body. I learned skin care through my mom who was health conscious too. She would take vitamins and supplements of all sorts and strictly follow a skin care routine day and night. She is my biggest influence when it comes to taking care of myself. I learned that in order for us to have a good glowing skin, it should start from within.  I came across Myra a few years back at a drugstore when I started working and began taking their Vitamin E supplement. Now they Myra Ultimate, a new product that I tried and here are my thoughts. One week of taking it, I noticed a significant change in the glow of my...

Purple Fairy Cosmetics Review x Giveaway

If kilay is life, liptint is life also for me. There was a phase in my life where I'd hoard every new lipstick in the market. But suddenly, I grew tired of it. BOO.   When I purchased my first liptint and knew how versatile it was for a busy mom like me, I had already a thing for liptints. In a span of a year, I bought several local and foreign brands and of course there were mixed emotions about it. There is just something about it that tells me still, they do belong to the same mother but unique in every way.  It is about time for me to throw some of it because I have been using it beyond six months already. Do not get me wrong though, I store my liptints in a cold and dry place (refrigerator) that is why, I could still use it beyond it's shelf life. Now it's time to hunt for a new local brand when suddenly I came across the owner of the brand I have been eyeing to try for the longest time.  Anyway, so much for blabbing here and let's get to the review...
