Wildlife in Manila Zoological and Botanical Garden

We rarely see wild animals around in the heart of city, many of us are busy in our daily lives. We forgot to enjoy the things which can be seen around us. I decided to give myself a break and had a bond moment with nature.

So I decided to visit the Manila Zoo or known to be as Manila Zoological and Botanical Garden, which can be seen in Malate, Manila near to Quirino Station (LRT) Light Railway Transit and much more closer to Ospital ng Maynila and Roxas Boulevard.

Manila Zoological and Botanical Garden is built in the year 1959, the area covered by this zoo is 5.5 hectares. It was really huge and you can never get tired walking around, instead you will be overwhelmed on what sceneries they can offer to you.

Let me give you some photos which I had collected during my visit in the zoo.


 Common Name: Elephant
  


ddd

Common Name: Philippine Tree Squirrel
Scientific Name: Sundasciurus Philippinensis 


Common Name: Hippopotamus
Scientific Name: Hippopotamus Amphibius

Rare, Roar, and Roam are the best words to describe the beauty of Manila Zoological and Botanical Garden. This is my first animal adventure encountering endangered species or animals here in the Philippines and from across the country in just once place. I thought seeing them was just only in a glass case. But think again, you can see them closer and breathes of their own.

Entrance Fee is affordable and you can treat your friends as well.
For Adult - 40.00
For Kids - 20.00

For Citizen of Manila - Prices mentioned above might get be lowered. If you will provide any ID that shows a picture of you and address that you are really residing here in Manila, discounts are awaiting for you.

It’s more fun in the Philippines!

Animax Carnival : Robinsons Place Manila

I love cosplay but I haven't given a chance to be a part of it. But I do track the cosplay event as much as I can. So when I heard that Animax will be conducting an event in Robinsons Place Manila or more known to be as Robinsons Ermita (that’s near to my office). I really take note of the date and participates even just an audience.

Date of Event: Animax Carnival Cosplay Competition; December 9, 2012 at Robinsons Place Manila

I wasn't disappointed with the cosplayers they really portrayed the character they've chosen. Check out the photos I gathered on that day:

Stilleto Mobile found in Starmall Las Pinas

Shoes are very important to all mankind especially on our day to day basis. My friend and I was walking down the street across to my sight I saw a huge shoes. I thought it was like a parade or something. I asked my friend to check it out more closely.




When we reached the entrance of Star Mall Las Pinas, I was really fascinated that the Shoes I was expecting to be turns out to be a Stiletto Automobile.






Yes, you read it right. Automobile as in car but the design was inspired by a Shoes specifically stilettos. Marikina City likes to showcase to every Filipino out there that Filipino should patronize our own product. This is also to show that Marikina has been into the industry of making shoes for more than 10 decades now.

I never expect I could see one in person.

Suddenly It's Magic (2012)

I am a late moviegoer so I might watched cut scene of the film already. But that's fine with me. As long as I can watch the movie to the best quality that they can offer and the best interest of the public. I watch recently “Suddenly It's Magic”, take note not once but thrice. ( hehehe).

bidakapamilya.blogspot.com


I really like the movie and I am not tired of watching it all over again, even to watch on the fourth time. I already memorized some of their lines already.

Here's some lines quoted from the movie Suddenly It's Magic by Director Rory B. Quintos

Marcus Hanson: I love to get lost to your country



Waiter: Morning, Sir.
Marcus: You dont know my name?
Waiter: Sir, Sorry, Sir I don't.
Marcus: Im happy you dont know my name.



Joey: Do you know me? No, dapat ba?
Marcus: Can I have this cupcake? Thank you. (Eating the cupcake).
Marcus: ugggghhhh
Joey: Okay ka lang?
Marcus: This is the saddest tasting cupcake ever!



Marcus: Hi I'm Marcus!
Joey: (Walking away from Marcus)
Marcus: Can we be friends?
Joey: After you touched my boobs.( Ilocano words)
Marcus: That's was an accident. I was trying to saved you.
Joey: But not before you embarrassed me.
Marcus: You embarrassed your self.
Joey: I had to defend my cupcakes!
Marcus: Defend your cupcakes? Do you know how funny that sounds?
Joey: It's funny to you because it's not your name, your job, or your life long passion at stake.



Joey: You know even if my life is falling apart. At least I was one thing sure of. I can bake. Yun na nga lang alam ko na gawin samali maling kong buhay. Tapos sasabihin mo na malungkot cupcakes ko? Malungkot? Siguro nga nalalasahan niyo kong gaano kamiserable ang buhay ko. ( Joey's wiping tears ). Bakit ko ba sinsabi ito sayo lahat. You didn't understandthe word that I said.
Marcus: Yeah! but I can understand how you feel.



Marcus: I stopped liking fairytales and happy endings a long time a go. But you, you making me believe in them again.



Courtship Scene of Marcus to Joey
( Electronic Guitar sound done by Marcus)
Joey: What's this?
Marcus: My housekeeper say I have to make  you ligaw and harana.
Joey: Ligaw?! Harana?!
Marcus: That's how you do it here, right?
( Giggle in background )
Marcus: I like you.
Joey: Talaga?! You like me?!
Marcus: Yeah! And I want to fall inlove me too.



Rap Scene of Marcus
♫ I don't wanna have sad cupcake no more eh 
♫ I don't wanna have sad cupcake no more 
♪  I wanna be the man to put sugar on the cake, be inlove again, be your chocolate. 
♬ Please be my girl, my happy cupcake girl (4x) 
Marcus: Wassup cupcake?!



Joey: Magic? Love? Walang totoo jan. Tanga tanga ko. How could you allow yourself to believe in what you always do is just a beautiful lie.
Marcus: It's not a lie, they may have lie to us. But the love we felt for them, the love we gave that's was true. That's why it hurts. And that's why we learned to appreciate the next one that's comes along.



Marcus: Hi I'm Marcus. I wanna thank you.
Marvin: Thank me
Marcus: Thank you for breaking Joey's heart.
Marvin: Sino ka?
Marcus: Sino me? I'm a boyfriend. The pain you cause joy have made more beautiful in my eyes. That made me want to love you more. Love I know the way you never could. Love the way she should be loved.



Joey: Ikaw ba talaga yan?
Marcus: Oo naman.
Joey: Why are you here?
Marcus: I just finished shooting a movie in the US. I'm getting all of my dreams because you set me free. All my dreams would be more mean if you're with me. I'm still inlove...
Joey: Ako rin.. Mahala pa rin kita. But f we do this again, how will this time will different?
Marcus: I would like to think and believe that this time you're stronger, you're more grown up, you know better and because we know what's like to be apart from each other. And how may things get. And not get let go of each other again.
Marcus: Will you be with me?
Joey: ( Deep breathe ) Yes!


Note: I just wrote it down the way I understand and lines on the movie.


MY COMMENT:

Mario Maurer:  No doubt that he is a good actor. And I had seen it in this movie. He really gave justice on his role as Marcus Hanson. I can really feel the pain through his words, eyes and lips when he uttered his lines. If he can only stays for 1 month in the Philippines and he is really good in speaking Tagalog language.

Erich Gonzales: I wasn't your fan at all since day one, when you were still starting as an actress. I don't know why just a feeling I guess, maybe because most of my family watched GMA 7. Moving forward, when I saw this movie  I must say I was really in shock that you can really portray effectively your role, in terms of the exact moment of pouring into tears, the way you deliver your lines. I was really moved and felt the intense emotions. Keep it up Erich!

For the Movie: Many people can relate to this movie. And I admit I am one of them. Handling Long Distance Relationship (LDR) is really hard to manage. But if the two people really care for each other, hindrances are just trails to toughen their love and longing to hold each other’s arms again.

RECOMMENDATION: 

I would like to have PART 2 for this movie. I want to see the finale of happy ending.

Taking Chemotherapy but No Special Diet?? True or False

My friend of mine started his Chemotherapy yesterday. I wasn't able to go with them because I have work that day. But tomorrow I am invited to go with his Chemo Session. I could say that I am closed to his parents. So when I asked for update and all that stuff. I asked his father thru SMS. If the Doctor will provide Special Diet for the Patient who are taking Chemotherapy.


The Doctor says, No Special Diet, He can eat whatever he wants. If I am not mistaken, which I googled it before patients must have a certain diet like No Sugar, No Milk and what else I remember that's all I can remember. Ah Red Meat. I was realy suprised that the Doctor said " No Special Diet ".

One more thing, The Doctor noticed that the Patient is so skinny. So the Doctor recommended to take foods which has sugar. The father bought Leche Flan for his son. But my friend didn't liked it.

How about you? Anyone from your loved ones who undergo Chemotherapy do they have Special Diet given by your Doctor.

Manila : Go Green, Stop Plastic

My mom and younger brother are residing in Las Piñas. The current mayor of Las Piñas, Mayor Nene Aguilar who is promoting "Go Green Lifestyle" to his place of governance. The awareness campaign is really worth to ponder for all citizens of Las Piñas. Personally, I do like the idea. I strongly support the advocacy of Mayor Nene. In this way, we can eliminate or lessen the possibility of flood, especially if typhoon will struck the area.

Photo Credit: http://www.48gogreen.com

I hope that Mayor Alfredo Lim of Manila will do the same thing, so that we can have an environmental-friendly citizen. In addition, to lessen the possible tragedy that recently affected area of Luzon and NCR from previous typhoons.

In my own little way, I will practice recycling or reusing the plastics, until such time that I can no longer re-used it. The next thing, the Segregation of Waste in our Home will be religiously done. If many people can do this, we can save our dying Earth and make it a good better place to live for the next generation.

Whitney Houston found dead!

I decided to take a cab going to work today, when a radio announcer said, Whitney Houston was found dead. So when I arrived  on my work place, I immediately went to the  PC room and search google  if it's true.

Can Guyabano(Graviola) really heal a Cancer patient?

A friend of mine who was operated for testicular mass. The problem is not yet to end there. He was qualified for a Chemotherapy and Radiotion Therapy. They were given a referral to take the treatment in JRMMC.

The problem is that there living status is below average.  The only they count on is Philhealth. Philhealth can't shoulder everything. So we are looking for some remedies. And a friend of mine introduce us the Guyabanao. I was really amazed and full of hopes after the story he told us. But still I have doubt about it.

junocristi.blogspot.com


So I made some research about it and many people was giving testimonies about the beauty of Guyabano. 
Many guyabano remedies are popping out in nowhere. 

Which guyabano is much better the fresh fruit or the one in tablets. If you answer tablet which one is the proven and tested.
