Oh boy, work is indeed been hindering from my blogging.. I so miss my blogging life where every so often time really permits me in writing stuff for my oh so love blog. Hmm.. what's new with me again? Oh just last January 11 my hubby and I went to Manila Zoo. It had been a not so nice experience since I didn't get to see a lot of animals. Though there were a few that I did enjoy seing again, like my favorite gorilla who at one point spit near where I was standing almost 20 years ago, heheheh.. Dunno if he's still the same gorilla, but boy I'm still afraid of him. There were like 20-30 crocodiles, though I noticed one that's practically floating from the mud like water, and we all knew that it was dead. Oh wawa naman.. Anyway, I saw a zebra, an animal I don't see often, I don't remember seing it in Malabon Zoo. I was extremely excited when I saw the cages for the lions and tigers, though I only saw a lion in one of the 4-5 cages there, which are nearly dilapidated, somehow, they look as if they are extinct as well. Hmm.. there were many unggoys hehehhe.. I even saw the nice looking elephant statue, I remember getting the same angle of picture back when I was just a kid, still the same elephant. I didn't get to see the long neck, I was expecting to see it though, a few snakes, birds are getting few, a few toytols (turtles) and some horses. And before I forget, one animal that would immediately welcome you is the biggie elephant, a real one, he or she's been marching all day, from and to his humble abode, ehehhhe..
Details of the place.. If you're planning to take your kids or kids of your kids, you can bring them there for only 20 pesos per head - for kids. For adults it's for 40 pesos. And if you're a resident of Manila, there's a 50% discount for your entrance. Not to worry if you forgot to bring a camera since there are nice photographers willing to take your pic for a high price of 100 pesos, good enough though since only a few would forget about bringing a camera in such places, especially with kids. The day we went there it was raining, and saddest part is we forgot to bring an umbrella, it's as if the zoo knew it, they are selling umbrellas too. A 2-3 fold umbrella costs 60 pesos and the big one for 120 pesos.
It had been 20 years ago that I saw this place, it was heavenly like for me, now, I feel sorry for the animals who've been captured and were forced to live in that kind of place. We would just probably visit Ark of Avilon which is just 2 rides away from where we live in the next few weeks..
But anyway, these are the pics from the zoo..
