weekend March 8, 2008

It's been a week since I started my new job...so far, so good. It's really exhausting for now since I am still undergoing training and I am still yet to get used to the system and all. But this job gives me a sense of fulfillment, and a whole lot of responsibility. One wrong input will make a really big impact so I have to be sure about what the transaction is about.

I went to Manila Ocean Park with Melvin yesterday. The place is located behind Quirino Grandstand, near Manila Hotel. What can I say about the place? Well, there was a lot of lining up, namely: lining up for tickets, lining up to get in, lining up to go into the underwater tunnel(or whatever they call it). The line for tickets started on the sidewalk! And I thought that the lines wouldn't be that long since it was a Saturday and all. Then it took another 20 minutes or so to get inside the aquarium proper. The aquarium is not yet fully functional yet, by the way. There's still a lot of construction work going on. The oceanarium is divided into 2 floors, the main aquariums are on the first floor, then the second floor has an activity center, that has a fish spa (This requires a payment of Php100 aside from the entrance fee of Php400).

I was reading the oceanarium's tour guidebook and it says that they paln to add a mall, and hotel to the complex. Er...the hotel, I can understand, but the mall? Isn't the point of going to the ocean park to relax and be closer to nature? What's the mall for? Oh yeah, just remembered something, the location of the ocean park is so ironic. There was a line of seafood restaurants just on the left of the oceanarium.

After the trip to the Manila Ocean Park, we went to Greenbelt to watch 10,000 B.C. Everlett is so pretty! I like her blue eyes. It makes me want to get blue contact lenses. haha JK The ending was so touching, considering it was a movie that involved hunting, fighting, etc.
