last Saturday, Gracee and I went to Bijit at Gotesco Regency Towers. then afterwards, we went to visit my relatives at Manila... zoo. ;-)
i saw the elephants...
the monkeys, the orangutan who had a poor kitten as her toy...
anteaters, bearcat, different species of birds and snakes...
iguanas, bats, civets, peacocks, ducks, and miniature farm animals...
crocodiles, wild boars, tigers, and many more.

and we heard the hippo laugh, by the way.

we have pictures of us holding the baby crocodile, and the snake. but i don't have time to upload.

then from manila zoo, we went to harrison plaza and bumped into ate tet and ate dianne! of all places...

then we went to star city to see yves and his girl but they went home na pala.

the next day, we went to malolos, bulacan after the church service. i'm supposed to have my sister's papers signed by our father, but i slept on the van on our way and when we got off, i suddenly realized i left it on the van. IMAGINE MY FRIGHT.

so we went back to north edsa to find the van. i tripled my faith...

luckily, graci remembered the driver's shirt. it was tattered. so when we told the other drivers about it, they knew who it was immediately. and he returned to the site for us. whew.

and we slept over because it was already late for us to go back to Manila. we watched movies all night long...

the next day we were supposed to go to Laguna but heck.. we chose to rest.

Last night was voice lessons again, second session. It wasn't as enjoying as the first, but did we produce a very nice sound!

i watched "built for the kill" this afternoon on "the animal planet" and i cried! i'll tell you WHY tomorrow. masakit talaga ang ulo ko....

(continuation...)

supposing TODAY is "the tomorrow". (cause it's already "tomorrow"'s tomorrow!)

why i cried over that show: it was because the story was of course, of the wild. actually, at first, we had a good laugh over the herbivore animals which they described in one word as "prey". and also the close encounters of i-forgot-his-name. because the snake bit him right on his nose! sure, it wasn't something to laugh at but it was just funny!
then the setting and story changed to DROUGHT. i have seen many animals being devoured by carnivorous animals before. it wan't as touching as the elephant's story...
kse nga drought di ba? so the elephants went on to find a place with water. but one mother elephant was left behind because she was waking her calf up. but he wasn't moving and she didn't want to leave him. so she kept on moving him with her trunk. but she still had one calf, other than this one who was already dead, and it was calling her to go with the pack to find water. but she wouldn't leave her "bunso" behind. and the lions were lurking around. and she charged at them and they knew that she was not to be messed around with.
and she really would not leave even when her living calf would press her to. she just stood guard beside her dead calf and still trudging him to get up.
then finally, as if realizing that her older calf has to live, she decided to leave him behind. the lions are becoming impatient then. and she has to take care of her living calf. the one that died is smaller than this one living. and when they started to walk, that was when i started to become teary-eyed! and finally, my tear really started to fall when she stopped and dramatically looked back at her calf, still laying there dead... it was so touching... boohoo... tapos umalis na sila...

which you really should read!
