This is me at the entrance of the manila ocean park.


Below are the pictures I've taken as we enter their aquariums. They call this place as the Bahura (Coral Reefs). Nice little creature, aren't they?



















In here, you will be entering the huge aquarium wherein mixed fishes are placed here just like the sea. They call this as "Buhay na Karagatan" (The Living Ocean).


In here, I'm having a fish spa. They call this nibble fishes as the doctor fish.


This is my new friend.
