Road Trip on a rainy day

Recently, I mentioned that Cebu Pacific had another round of promo fare for selected destinations. I also mentioned that:

1. I might avail of the Cebu Pacific’s 99-Peso fare promo, or
2. I might go up north and enjoy the cool breeze up there, brrrrr; or
3. Go swim my way down south

Actually, a lot of destinations were considered for my mid-year vacation. Among them:

1. Koronadal South Cotabato, Cotabato City, and Kidapawan City tour
2. Marinduque island tour
3. Mindoro Oriental/Puerto Galera/Calapan Tour
4. Baguio City
5. Banaue
6. Boracay
7. Iloilo/Guimaras
8. Vigan/Paoay/Laoag
9. Dagupan, Pangasinan

And just last week, I have finally made up my mind. Out of the 9 destinations, I will be going to.. not one, but two!

Where am I going? here’s your clue: I’m going to 2 regions, 3 provinces, 4 (or maybe 5!) towns/cities, and 2 UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Got any idea where Iam going?

I have already made reservations on where I will be staying. I will be leaving Metro Manila this coming Tuesday, after workshift. On Monday I’ll gonna tell you the details.

Boracay was the original plan for my mid-year vacation, as planned by my officemates. But plans went wrong, thus it was scrapped from the list.

Iloilo/Guimaras was removed from the list since I can do this at a later date, before the yearend.

The Cold Blooded pets of Avilon

Continuation of my previous post

3rd in a series

Avilon ZooFrom the Aves section, what captured my attention next is the vast collection of the cold-blooded creatures. From python to alligator, lizards to king cobras, turtles to boas. Also included in this section are the several species of the tarantula spiders.

This is one section that will scare the hell out of you.

The lizards may look cute, but hey! I won’t dare touch them. Hahaha What really gave me the goosebumps are the tarantulas. Man! they’re so big. Kasing laki na ng kamao ko!

Avilon ZooThe pythons look very interesting. Mind you, I am not afraid of holding these slithering creatures. I do get to touch and hold pythons when I was still in college (my college friend has a pet python before), and when I was still working as a volunteer in a zoo. Pythons don’t bite, unlike the cobras. What they do to attak is squeeze its prey until it runs out of breath. Mamamatay ka sa pagpulupot nya. Its squeezing power is so strong that, I have to move the snake from my left to right hand form time to time.
