Existence

Fishworld November 28, 2009

It’s my first time to go to Manila Ocean Park. The students of my sister Janice back out from that field trip. Because of that, we were forced (gian, nyle and me) to fill the slot so the reservation won’t be put to waste. And I’m glad we did! Coz it’s so soothing to look at the 300 plus different species of aquatic life we found there. You’ll be amaze at how vast and rich the fish world is! It makes me feel insignificant seeing them in different sizes, colors, appearance and all their glory. Especially when I saw giant sharks and manta rays swimming above us in Buhay na Karagatan (Living Ocean) area. All the fishes are worth spending my time and energy for. But my favorite of all is the doctor fish!

I swear I wanted to take a picture of each and every marine life I saw there! So many fishes, so little time. Lol. But halfway during our tour, I felt guilty. Kc here I am taking a glimpse and picture of them, but there they are, trapped in a big aquarium just for people like me to enjoy them. They should be in their natural habitat. They should be in the open water. But maybe, if the fishes know that they bring so much joy to their spectator, especially the young ones, then they would feel that their residing there is significant. Before I start wondering if fishes have conscience or not (lol), I’ll finish this up by posting my pictures with these fine-looking creatures. If you have time, why don’t you visit it? As for me, I’ll definitely come back. It is really a deeper experience!
