A glimpse of Jurrasic Park at Clark Land Dinosaurs Island Pampanga

Clark Land Dinosaurs Island which is located inside Clark Field Pampanga, is an animatronic theme park and museum.  It shows us a glimpse of what it feels like to live during the dinosaur era. The displays are huge and I supposed are made up to scale. Looking at the dinosaurs make you feel like looking at super sized lizards.  A back ground of trees and plants transform the place into a jungle.  The outer skin of the dinosaurs are made out of rubber and are relatively safe to touch. Sound comes from a speaker near the display. I can’t seem to distinguish their sound as most of them are just a combination of growls & roars.  Although, most of the movements of the dinosaurs on display are limited to neck, mouth & head movements they often draw long crowds of people wanting get their pictures taken.

A Day Trip at The Lost Eden Sucat Paranaque


One of the great benefits of home schooling is that you get to choose your own schedule, control your time, and avoid staying in line with long crowds and basically, just enjoy and have fun. Upon running an errand to Sucat last weekend, We decided to drop by The Lost Eden in Sucat, Paranaque since it was along the way and We had the entire afternoon to ourselves.


Though it would have been nicer to call ahead of schedule so their staff could have prepared the place and programs.  But this would have taken away the element of surprise and spontaneity. Plus going on field trips during off-season's gives you the rare privilege of enjoying the entire place all by yourselves.  "The Lost Eden" which is located along Sucat road Dr. A. Santos Avenue near Kraft is a 4 hectare area owned and operated by Bio Research.  However, most of the animals found here are a collection of birds, fishes, small farm animals, and house hold pets situated in a garden depicting our national land marks per region.

Philippine Science Centrum

After visiting the Pedia a few Saturday's ago for our child's check-up and vaccination schedule, We've decided to go out a stroll around the city.  Since We finished early around 9:30 am and We were already already at St. Luke's Global We decided to browse the internet for nearby interesting places to visit.  Philippine Science Centrum came up w/c according to the internet was approximately 12-15 km's. from our present location w/c is along the River Banks Mall in Marikina.  You've got to love technology, since it was our first time to go to Philippine Science Centrum, We used the "Waze" app on our mobile phones to find the River Banks Mall.

Burgoo SM Southmall


Decided to go to SM Southmall during my lunch break for an errand.  While my wife was paying bills at BDO. My son and I stayed at Burgoo SM Southmall to order for lunch.   This was our first time to try out Burgoo's, but the placed look so nice with tall windows to accommodate natural lighting.  The place actually looked a little bit like Friday's with a more lighter and brighter ambiance.  Good thing they were offering a buy 1 get 1 promo for selected items  on that day which made our choice a little bit easier.

Residence Inn & Paradizoo Tagaytay


It's been almost 2 years since We've visited Residence Inn & Paradizoo, Tagaytay and It was nice to see a lot of improvements since our last visit.  The place is a lot cleaner with more flora and fauna. We have a lot of fond memories of this place and it's a wonderful feeling to have been able to have the chance to relive it one more time.  As before We got our tickets from Metro Deal for Php 250 only which gives you access to both Residence Inn & Paradizoo.  You also get a free ride on their cable car.
