Manila Ocean Park - Jellyfish Sanctuary

Growing up near mountain tops and nearby beaches, I am accustomed to monthly family outings along the beaches of Ilocos. One sea creature that attracts me is the jellyfish. Nevertheless, for my entire childhood, I thought that there is only one type of jellyfish. I realized when I reached high school that there are different species among them until I met them personally at the Manila Ocean Park Jellyfish sanctuaries.


It took a long time to have this encounter but it is worth it because my daughter was fascinated with the different dance lights emanating from their luminescent gel body.

Manila Ocean Park - The Oceanarium

My family and I have seen terrific shows and scenery on the cable and internet and my daughter is always mumbling and forcing us to see one locally. She loves water, oceans, beaches, but I stopped her because too much sun is bad for the skin. Well, we had sunburns last summer due to overexposure on the beach at Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte and Boracay. 

Luckily, my daughter (Jaha) spotted the Manila Ocean Park and until then, she had not stopped wooing me in purchasing tickets for the park. Therefore, as a parent, there is a special spark and touch in my heart while my daughter does the puppy eyes request. Moreover, I search the promotional vouchers online on where I could get discounts for the family field trip. Timing that Ensogo (www.ensogo.com.ph) offers that discount vouchers and I did purchased 3 tickets for the much awaited event.

Jollibee Cup Art Workshop

Our family is ready to go home after purchasing groceries at Puregold Araneta branch when a Jollibee crew approached us and offered a weekend activity for youngsters. She briefly introduced what would be the workshop is all about and upon convincing our daughter, we paid small fee for 200 pesos only covering the art materials and food for the attendee.


Jaha is very anxious waiting for Saturday to come. Gee, it is only Thursday and she kept talking and discussing over this with us for the whole two days.


Friday night and she slept late because she is very busy with the online games, www. friv.com, a website that offers free online gaming but she promised to wake up early for the much awaited short workshop. We had a deal and I let her be.
