The Seaworld Experience


Hello

It has been forever since my last post.

As a recap of things. I went back home to the Philippine after a much needed vacation due to stress at work, life and just basic burnout and homesickness.

When I came back, there is a noticeable change in my character. The word would be “ Recharged “.

Philippines was fun, but too short. I was able to save enough money despite my debts for a meager vacation, which was monopolized by my dad wanting to take me to all my relatives. Other than that, I went to see the docs to make the necessary check ups. I do have to admit my weakness were these Luxury massages that eased my back pains. You can get a really got classy massage in the Philippines for as low as $14.oo.

This Memorial day weekend, I needed additional unwinding. Since I have this long bucket list of things that I wanted to do. I finally crossed out one. A close encounter with a Dolphin.

I was able to save 45 Dollars to pay the extra fee in Seaworld to do the Dolphin experience. It was really fun and the professional photos taken by the overpriced staff photographer showed how much I was giggling and glowing on the delight of being able to fulfill one of my childhood dreams.

My luck got better when Seaworld had the interact with a Manta Ray pool for free. Despite the scary rep it has, manta Rays are like piglets. The suck the fish out of your hands and when they go up to the water, their faces have a snout like mouth. Infact THEY HAVE A SNOUT. They even make snorting sounds like a pig. It was cute and they were gentle creatures.

I also rode Journey to Atlantis, a water log ride similar to the Philippines Splash island ride in Magic Kingdom. But since I have a fear of falling down ( not heights ), I remedied my situation by hiding in my sweater and brazing myself for the fall. WHICH I WILL NEVER DO AGAIN.

In other words, I had such fun and it was a well deserved, well spend weekend. A change from my last posts which were sad.

Till my next post guys.

Anime Expo 2008 ( IM GOING TO LA!!!! )



Im Going to Los Angeles
YEY!!!!

To simply put Anime Expo 2008

Ill be there for 3 blissful days. Hopefully I can go there a few days before and see Little Tokyo and get myself a Kimono though I know its cheaper to get one in Narita Japan, but who cares. Tehehe Im spoiling myself on July 3-6. Buying my manga paraphernalia, seeing cosplays, and meeting with the different Console and MMORPG game developers.
If I'm lucky and still have some time maybe I can save up for a little Disneyland.
The original plan was Universal Studios Hollywood. But since the place sorta burned down... so scratch that.

Then there the Hotel issue. With limited budget and transportation options I need to find a Hotel under 150$ . My companions want a tub. Im not picky. I just want a bed. But they want the tub.

Teheheh But Im sure am Excited. Weeeeee!

* Just an additional note
I have a 70% to be a speaker for a Video game Seminar in one San Diego State University. They will be having a program on Video gaming careers and development and I was given an option to be a speaker. OMG!!!! I'll be working with people from Blizzard there YEY!!!
