Driving is not easy at all especially if you do not have background on it.
Well, I am enrolled at A-1 Binondo.
Today is my first 2-hr session of driving. I have a mixed emotion. I am nervous but at the same time excited because this is my first time to drive.
I am having difficulty in the gas pedal (I do not know why ... haha )...
Today I went to the LTO (Land Transportation Office) Tayuman to get my student's permit. I will be starting to learn how to drive on May 27, 2010.
It was just an easy process:
First, get you application form and fill it up.
Second, submit the application form (go to the window as said by the person (guard) who is in charge.)
Third, take a picture and signature
Fourth, pay at the cashier counter.
Last, get your permit and the official receipt.
A rare sight: the smile of a crescent moon and the planet Venus above it on Sunday night as seen from Manila. Luis Liwanag
Venus joined the crescent moon, its bottom part illuminated with a bright lining a few days after the new moon phase.
I was gazing at the sky last night and I saw this. I thought it was just a star at the top of the moon ... hahaha ... I never thought that it was Venus!

“各位親愛的聽眾朋友大家好,我是DJ Nic。感謝大家收聽我的節目,這兩天有收到一些點唱單都在點同一首歌。他們希望可以在這個特別的日子,聽到這首特別有意義的歌。來自歌手張棟樑的《爸爸 媽媽》。嗯。。這首歌我聽過,蠻好聽的,但是不會有點太悲嗎??就意思還不錯!!那就送這首歌給全天下的朋友,祝大家母親節快樂。不要不好意思跟媽媽說一 聲Mummy, I Love U!聽歌咯!我是你們的深夜知己,DJ Nic。" *請用老式怪腔怪調來解讀(很多很多氣音加ABC腔那種),因為DJ Nic是個怪怪深夜DJ*
Today, I was assigned in the concourse. The job of the concourse is to give flyers and explain to the guests what we have and take their orders. It is very tiring because the talking is nonstop while standing ... However, I did not feel bored because the Marshal (Kuya Lito) talked to me everytime ... He kept me smiling because of his jokes...
It was schedule yesterday that it will be my turn (with JC, Felichi, and CJ) today to try the aquanaut. I am really nervous because what if there will something wrong on the half way. And it really happened ... :( The thing that I am most afraid of happened to me... I do not know what really happened to me but may be because I am out of balance so flipped ... At first I am shocked and I do not know what to do but still I kept on swimming until I arrived at the stairs... I think this is the most unforgettable moment that have happened to me!
Today, the staffs of MOP let us watch it. It was beyond my expectation. It is really high tech. All the effects are fantastic. It is very worth it to watch.
Maiden of the Sea is the first multi-sensory water musicale featured at Acquatica, a new section that doubles as a swimming theme park by day and musical theater at night. The show features a live cast and high-tech computer imaging, fantastic pyrotechnics, and 20-foot high water effects.
It tells the story of the kingdom of Kanimbala, who has become abusive of the environment and the seas. The goddess Inangat curses the kingdom and brings illness upon King Lakandiwa. The king then sends out his three sons to find the only woman who holds the cure: Dalanggat, the maiden of the sea.
Moral of the Story: if you're kind to Mother Nature, she'll be kind to you too.
It is my first time to try the boat ride ... I have wanted to ride the boat ever since the first day, but it just today that I tried it ... :) It is nice because you could see the real size of the fishes unlike in the tunnel. You could also see some fishes that you have not seen in the tunnel ...
This is the top view of the tunnel and where people can baot ride ...
After the orientation, we watched a documentary called THE COVE. It is about the killing of dolphins in Taiji, Japan. The film highlights that the number of dolphins killed in the Taiji dolphin hunting drive is several times greater than the number of whales killed in the Antarctic, and reports that 23,000 dolphins and porpoises are killed in Japan every year in the country's whaling industry. The migrating dolphins are herded into a hidden cove where they are netted and killed by means of spears and knives over the side of small fishing boats.
It is really very heart aching to see people killing animals especially dolphins. I am a dolphin lover. Dolphins are lovely animals and they should not be treated cruelly.
For those people who have not yet seen this documentary, you should watch it. You can see how cruel people are.
We just had an orientation a while ago in Manila Ocean Park (MOP) for our practicum ...
Sir Jappy orient us about the Life Support System in MOP... Filtration removes all sorts of waste products. It is also to support life. He also talked about different species of fishes found within MOP. There are about 200 species found in there and composed of about 8000-10000 fishes. After the orientation, we watched a documentary THE COVE.
After the documentary, because it is still early, so I decided to stay at the Dalampasigan ... This is my first time to touch a Bamboo shark... :)
I was assigned again today at the Jellies. Even though it is a bit boring there; however, I had a chance to touch the jelly fishes ... It is my first time. :) It is jelly-like and it smelled like fish... haha .. I think that is why they named it Jelly Fish .. :)
This is the place where we stay ...
After seeing those jelly fishes, you can buy some things in the souvenir shop ... :)
Dalampasigan is shore in English ...
There is one corner called Dalampasigan. I like to stay there everytime because I can play with the sea star and the sea cucumber ... hehe
I also like to see the reactions of different people especially the kids whenever we say that they can touch the sea stars and the sea cucumber...
Different species of sea stars in Dalampasigan
by the way, there are also bamboo sharks in the Dalampasigan ... so be careful not to touch them ... :)
