I purchased a deal in metrodeal few months ago for the awesome "Flowboarding". I'm really addicted in buying discounted vouchers that's why when I saw this discounted deal I immediate purchased it. TADAAA! 2 weeks ago, me and my boyfriend decided to use the vouchers, and yheap! Flow boarding is not that easy. So what's flowboarding anyway?

Flowboarding is a hybrid boardsport, which has been evolving since the 1980’s. The sport combines the progression, maneuvers, and skills from the core action sports of skateboarding, surfing, bodyboarding, and snowboarding and to a lessor extent, wakeboarding and skimboarding. These boardsports have a strong influence on flowboarding’s direction, style, and energy. Amateur to top professional action sports athletes find flowboarding to be one more pumping board sport to fix their adrenaline needs, as well as an epic cross-over sport.

Since Molino Cavite is just near our place around 1 hr drive we just packed our things and went to Flow House Manila. I've been seeing this place when I was still reviewing for my board so I'm very familiar to the directions and of course, thank you Waze! haha

As we entered Flow House Manila, we are greeted by their cool security guard and assisted me in their lobby. I just presented the vouchers with my Id and got our schedule for the next ride. We went to the place around 4:30 PM and booked our schedule for 6PM ride. So we just proceed to their Bar.

Drinks anyone? They also have their mini resto. They serve burgers/pizza/fries etc. But we didn't ordered cause we already ate before going to Flow Houe Manila, we just ordered their Frozen Lemonade which is superb! Sobrang sarap to the highest level!


Before we ride the Flow Board, we are required to be oriented with the instructor for just few minutes. No stretching, just talk. This is the saddest part of my life. If i just know what would happen to my body, i stretched before riding. I repeat. I wish i stretched before riding!!! After an hour of riding/trouble/killing my self/almost dying ride of my life, I felt the pain. My body hurts as hell!! I want to try it again but i'm afraid of the body ache that i'll be feeling again. I had pain killers for almost 3 days. But this water sport is really an extreme sport! I will try this again soon!

So it was my first time to visit the famous Zoobic Safari. I feel like i'm in my elementary days fro my field trip LOL. But upon arriving in Zoobic Safari I can see only few people. I was a bit disappointed to the place. I thought that the place was really beautiful because I heard it to some of my friends. I feel like this place was not really maintained.


The animals in the place looks malnourished/thin without proper nutrition in their body. They look so thirsty looking at their place there's not enough water and I saw camels that have so dry skin. I really felt disappointed that time. How I wish I can adopt those remaining animals or just let them be free in their real habitat.

We tried to ride on the famous "Tiger Feeding/Ride on the Jeppney" . IDK what it is called but all I can say is that it was a waste of money!!! I thought I'll be seeing lots of tigers but hey! We only fed 1 tiger. 1 Tiger =6 bus! the tiger is not also in the mood to eat, it was too sleepy hahaha.


While we are on this mini bus/shuttle we visit the enchanted cave and I also forgot the other room we visited but this place was full of dead animals. They are preserved and placed in that room. I pitty these babies for not having a good place to sleep.


After feeding the tigers and visiting this preserved room for dead animals. We went to the Tigers home/cages. There are lots of tigers in this place but UGH! the smell is so disgusting. I wish they will really maintain the place.


Overall experience i would rate it as 5/10. I did not enjoy the place but I enjoyed the people who I'am with.

It's been so long that I really wanted to try this sport. My mom was an Archery player before when she was still in her young age, she used to compete to different cities. Boo! me for not adapting her skills haha! So move on, My boyfriend told me that there was a new Archery Range in District Imus Cavite he was able to knew this by his Facebook friend's photo. Since It was just a 30-45 mins drive from our place we immediately went to District Imus.

We haven't had a hard time looking for the place since we're familiar in district imus. The place was named as "Majarlika Archery Range", it was in front of Adidas in the Promenade section 2nd floor near Yellowcab. Luckily,when we arrived there, they are still in their soft opening so the price is still on PROMO!. From 580 Pesos we were able to only pay for 400 Pesos.

Rates:

• Basic Hour Rental - P580 Per Hour (inclusive of bow, arrow, target paper, safety equipment and rental range rental)
• 6 Session Lesson Rate - P3000 (inclusive of 6 hours basic coaching, bow, arrow, target paper, safety equipment and rental range rental)
• 10 Session Rate - P5000 (inclusive of 10 hours coaching, bow, arrow, target paper, safety equipment and rental range)

We had our stretching first before playing then the instructor discussed us the basic equipment's and how do this sport is played. My boyfriend enjoyed this game a lot since he was able to hold the bow and arrow for so long and he hit his target so well. While I'm still in pain. HAHA My shoulder hurts as well as my hand up-to know after 2 days. The bow was quiet heavy for me but I don't know maybe i just need to do some exercise. The only negative side of this place is that, It is not fully air-conditioned but electric fans are there. But oh please! The sweat is all over my body when we were playing this game for 1 hour. Maybe because they are still in their soft opening since on their website it was stated there that It is in fully air-conditioned. I don't know but I hope they be fixing it.

During the Holiday break on September 25, 2015. I was asked by my dad to purchase the Metrodeal voucher that I'm telling him for the Manila Ocean Park entrance. It was my nephew's birthday last September 17 so we decided to have an extended celebration. I immediately purchased the discounted deal for only 799 Php. I used my dad's credit card and luckily the process was just short. Printed the vouchers and the good thing of this voucher is it is valid for public holiday unlike other deals right?
Here's what is included in the deal. It's original price written in Metrodeal was 3,250 Pesos but when we were redeeming the voucher in the redemption booth the price was only 990. I just bought 4 vouchers thinking that my nephew is still free of charge cause he's just 2 years old. Got surprised that he needs to pay the FULL price.

• Trails to Antarctica
• Jellies Exhibit

It was already my second time to visit Manila Ocean Park, I was able to go here during my 4th year highschool field trip around 2008. The place really changed alot since I came there during 2008, there were different stores and food outlets already as well as the Yexels' toy museum which we haven't got a chance to visit cause during that time there were lot's of kids who are in line for their field trip too. LOL






Just strolled around and took some pictures. I'm sorry sorry for the picture that I uploaded here. I was busy taking care of my nephew. That I wans't able to took legit shots. We didn't got a chance to visit the Jellyfish area too as i said before people are all over the place. It's too crowded. How I wish they will full blast the aircon's temperature.




To end the whole day experience, We watched the Symphony Evening show which amazed me too! The lights and musics are so one of a kind. It was also my first time to experience this show. Overall the experience was tiring but fun!
