This is the space. The nothing. The moment when you realize whatever you wanted to be when you were younger isn't really going to happen. This is the period of time where you start to freakout and go mad. This is there you only see yourself as a cashier at the local McDonalds or Target for the rest of your life. I call this the Freakout , but to most people refer to it as normal adolescence. This happens to me a lot since I tend to refer to myself as a young adult with her priorities in check.
Anyway this is normal and as time goes on and the older and older I get I seem to realize that college is in the view. Thinking of the future is very scary. As much as I dislike the town I live in and the thought of moving is not a bad one , the idea of my out alone in the world is scary. The fact that in a matter of 3 years I will be a legal adult and my parents have no control on life is scary. No matter all of their crazy rules and weird ways there is a part of it that keeps us sane. The more and more I realize that my dream of being a world renowned physicist most likely isn't going to happen for my detest of physics.
Anyway the post of this post isn't how I cope with my teenage adolescence , but how being scared for the future might actually be a good thing. Having your whole life planned out isn't going to happen. Bumps are going to happen and there will be pavements in the road. But remember the best things happen along the way. Forget about how your life will turn out in the next 4 years and live in the moment. If your friends invite you out to lunch don't stay cooped up in your room on Netflix but go out to lunch and have fun. Remember life is about living and no matter how scary life is in the long run. Focus on what you have right now.
Savor the cup of tea you have right now. Or the great book your reading and don't worry about what will happen and focus on what is happening. We will all have days where we feel like the world is crashing in on us but remember the wise words Hannah Montana always said “ everybody has those days “. And also if you every feel like you need someone to talk to you can always drop me a message in my inbox here on tumblr https://www.tumblr.com/search/nehhbula
My name is Elsa, and today I'm super excited to show you how I made this magnetic floral planner ☺ It's super easy to make and it will help you keeping your thoughts in order during the spring and summer seasons !
Since I gave my room a makeover, I totally re-organized my working corner into a fresh, accessible and tidy area and I discovered the perks of working on my desk. This planner which I also use as a to-do list is perfect to keep all my ideas and things to do in place and where I can note my appointments in a stylish and springy space. It's extremely easy to make, and the cool thing about this planner is that you can switch the washi tape according to the season or to your room decor so it can always match it!
Anyways let's get started!
For this DIY you will only need some washi tape (you can find some adorable and inexpensive ones here), a magnetic board (the one I used was an old advertisement board, but you can find this kind of boards in different sizes at Ikea here for really cheap), some colorful paper and a pair of scissors.
Step 1: Divide your board into eight rectangles with your washi tape. If your board is too small, you can divide it into six rectangles and combine the “Saturday” and “Sunday” boxes into a “Weekend” one.
Step 2: Write each days of the week on your colorful paper. For the eighth box, I chose to write “Upcoming” in order to put here all the appointments and things I have to do for the next weeks. Of course, you can use this last box to put anything you want like some inspiring quotes, or a to-do list...
Step 3: Write on little papers whatever you want to and hang it upon your board using magnets (for those who wonder what's written on this paper it's just I had to give my Biology teacher a timeline about the Earth cycles haha).
Step 4: Hang your brand new magnetic planner on your desk using sticky paste.
A nice way to add a spurt of color and a boost of natural frooty sugars to any time of the day. Quick and easy with a lovely taste of heavenly fruit!
You'll Need:
Yogurt (Natural or Vanilla)
Mango
Purple Greaps
Raspberries
Melon (any of those yellow kinds, like honey, cantaloupe or something)
There are no exact measurements for this since it really depend on how much you'd like to make, but for one glass i used about 1 cup of yogurt.
Pour in the yogurt to the blender. Add in as much chopped up fruit as you'd like. Blend it all up until it's smooth and a nice pinkish shade. Top it up with some of the chopped fruit to make it look all fancy smanchy. ENJOY!
Do you love bath bombs but can’t afford the price of the fancy store-bought bath fizzies? Then quench your skin-moisturizing thirst by making your own bath bombs at home! The process is simple, requires only a few ingredients, and will leave you soaking in relaxation. Not only is it fun to make, but it will leave your skin silk smooth. Here’s a fun and easy way to create your own bath bomb at home!
Ingredients:
✧ 1 cup of baking soda
✧ 3/4 cup of corn starch
✧ 1/4 cup of sugar cane
✧ food coloring (choose any colors you want)
✧ essential oils (can be found in health food stores or craft stores)
✧ /2 cup of powdered citric acid
✧ dome molds (i suggest dome molds if you want your bath bomb to be rounded. it will be a bit harder if you use other shape molds)
Step 1:
✧ In α large bowl, add your citric acid, baking soda and cornstarch. Mix the ingredients well, then once it is mixed well stir in the sugar.
Step 2:
✧ Add a little bit of water just to dampen it. A spray bottle would be best. This will make the mixture contactable. If you add too much it will start to fizz and you will have to start over.
Step 3:
✧ pour in essential oils and food coloring to your liking. you can mix and add how much you want of these. (the more color you add, the prettier it will look in the bath tub!)
Step 4:
✧ Put the mixture in molds. Make it dense so it won’t crack. I suggest dome molds.
Step 5:
✧ let the bath bombs dry for αt least 24 hours. place them in α cool, dry area away from moisture. take them out of the molds carefully and you’re done! enjoy your bath bomb!
A new year brings all those hopes and dreams we've had for awhile back into our minds, hoping that maybe we will accomplish them this year. If you haven't noticed, New Year's resolutions are kind of a joke on the internet now, because who really sticks to their resolutions anymore, right? You could think, "oh, no one actually keeps their resolutions alive all year round" - but the answer to who sticks to their resolutions is whoever wants to. If you want to make this year "your year", who's stopping you? Want to loose some weight? You can do it! Need to get better grades? It's up to you to get your homework and get your assignments done! Do you want to make more friends? Put yourself out there! In short, 2015 will be whatever you make it.
So, I compiled a list under the cut (side note: is it just me or are like all of my posts on here made of lists?) for ways for you (and me) to improve 2015, and make it better than the previous year, or years before.
Eat healthy! No really, I mean it. Stick to it. Drink lots of water, have a salad every once in awhile, pack a good lunch, and try some fruit or veggies for a snack (apples and peanut butter, carrots and ranch/hummus, cucumbers and salt, or even a banana and some nutella!) Eating good food will improve your mood and health! Your body will thank you!
Be more social with family members, friends, schoolmates, teammates, whoever! Try to put down your laptop and get out of your room more - this one is especially hard for me too! Even if t's just going out into your house and talking to your parents about your day at school, or playing a game with your sibling. Or, you could plan activities with your friends like seeing movies, going shopping, getting food, ect. If you are more social this year, you will be happier and make better relationships with everyone.
Keep a clean space - your room, your desk, locker, or anything else. Messy spaces = messy minds. It's hard to focus on anything and get stuff done if you have to work in a cluttered environment. Plus, isn't it hard to find things right when you need them? Think of looking for something and knowing exactly where it is! Having your space tidy and neat will help your stress levels and let you have somewhere to go that sin't so disorganized and messy.
Get a good nights sleep! Sometimes it can be hard to sleep more than a few hours when you have to get up early for school or anything else. But if you sacrifice one or two hours of watching netflix before bed, you'll feel better the next day. You can get through the next day that lies ahead a whole lot easier if you slept well the night before, this way you won't be walking around looking like a zombie too!
Put an effort into school, try your best, and get stuff done. catching up and staying on track with homework and assignments can do wonders. Your grades will improve, your parents will get off your back, and you will have less to worry about. Listening and paying attention in class will pay off in test scores and help you with figuring out problems on your homework. School can be so overwhelming sometimes, and you can have hours of homework at a time each night! But if you don't turn in your assignments on time, it just adds to that time. One of the biggest stress factors for teens is schoolwork and getting homework done. It can be hard to sit down and complete the work, but once it's done, it's done. Then you can relax and do something you enjoy doing, something that isn't homework.
It is good to pamper yourself - you deserve it! If you've been working your butt off in school or sports, or anything else, it is especially good to pamper yourself. Buy something from the candy store just because, sleep in a few extra hours on the weekends, get your nails done, or purchase something you've wanted for awhile! You deserve to treat your self sometimes, it will make you feel good about yourself and relax a bit.
Do what makes you happy. It is as simple as that. do what you enjoy doing, do something you might not get to do often, or try something new. As long as you enjoy it. if you hated everything on this list, don't listen to me then. You are your own boss, and you do you. I'll do me, and everyone else will do them. Remind yourself that it doesn't matter what others think of you, and just do what ever the heck makes you happy. You will have an easier time on this world if you enjoy yourself and have some fun.
I hope you guys liked this kinda long post, thanks for reading!
Rap can sometimes get a bad name but really I think it just comes from people listening to bad rap! so I've come up with a playlist to incorporate what I find the best of rap! --Mal (Radicatss)
this building is an extraordinary piece of the architect Gaudi's work (Barcelona has many of his buildings and you should walk around and see a few of them) they are all very unique and worth seeing a few of the major ones I recommend going in Sagrada Familia (pictured above) and walking by La pedrera and Casa Batllo. If you have time try to see more they're all around the same area and are all verycool! (even for someone who doesn't like architecture)
Check out the Gothic Quarter and tour the Barcelona Cathedral
The Barcelona Cathedral is huge and beautiful! there are so many intricate sculptures and it's a really nice atmosphere! The Gothic quarter is the center of the old city and where I found most things to do were!
Hit the Beach
the Mediterranean sea is great to swim in! it has lots of waves and the beaches are packed with other swimmers and tourists as well as vendors (who are very annoying but it adds to the experience) While you're at the beach check out the restaurants and shops along the beach
BOQUERIA MARKET
instead of getting food from a restaurant one lunch check out the market and buy some fresh and local food lots of vendors have a variety of things from fresh fruit to pastry!
The Wax Museum yes the have them everywhere but this one is so creepy and so much fun! when I went it was deserted not even staff were around which made the experience even creepier!
Bonus Tips
Forget public transpo: The city is a good size that almost all of the major sights are within half an hour walking distance so skip taking the subway or a cab and experience more of the city on foot! who knows what interesting things you'll find?
Try some local food like Tapas and sangria
Remember at many of the cathedrals and Basilicas that are open to tour they require you have shoulders and knees covered to be respectful of the religious aspect of the building
Oh hidy ho lovely readers! I'm in a jolly good mood today so excuse my odd writing. But anyhow, it is the first of advent today and also first of December tomorrow. I've been waiting for Christmas for months and I can not believe that it's already here, time has passed so incredibly quickly. Well now that it's almost December, it might be more acceptable to post x-mas themed articles and posts on here. So that is what I will do right now, I've come here to share my absolute top 12 Christmas tunes with you and a little comment to each song. Let me tell you, this wasn't the easiest task one could do. There is so many holiday tunes I love but I managed to choose only twelve. This is a mix of old classics and new more modern festive songs. Hope they'll bring you much joy and get you all pumped for the jolliest season of all!
• Peppermint Winter - Owl City I chose this song simply because I lovelovelove Owl City, and the song's very very lovely. And this is probably one of my favorite Christmas songs at the moment.
• Santa Baby - Ariana Grande, Liz Gillies One of the best versions of Santa Baby I've heard so far, apart from Michael Bublé's version, no one will ever beat him. This is also one of my favorite Christmas songs to sing along to!
• The Christmas Song - The Raveonettes This song just has a really cozy, winterish feel to it and I adore their voices so it was a must.
• Cold December Night - Michael Bublé My all time favorite Christmas song. I've loved it for years and it's just so so lovely.
• Christmas Without You - OneRepublicThis one has kind of a more sad feel to it but I still really enjoy it, it's cozy!
• Winter Wonderland - Bing CrosbyA real classic and a definite must in any Christmas playlist.
• Christmas Eve - Justin BieberAbsolutely love this one, I don't really know why actually, not really what I'd usually listen to. But I just got really stuck for it and I knew it had to be on the list
• I'll Be Home For Christmas - She & HimAnother very classic song with the lovely She & Him (w Zooey Deschanel!!). Love her voice and the whole song is just super christmassy.
• Christmas With You Is The Best - The Long WintersNot very christmassy, but whoever said it had to be? I just really enjoy it but I can imagine it not being exactly everyone's cup of tea. Anyhow do recommend you at least give it a quick listen.
• Last Christmas - Wham!Definitely much better than the Cascada version of this song, in my opinion that is. I always hear this song in stores during the Christmas season so it brings me lots of lovely feels.
• It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas - Michael BubléI think you've understood the fact that I am obsessed with Bublé (at least his Christmas songs) and you should be well surprised that there aren't more than 2 songs by him in this list. Anyhow I love this song lots and lots and I could listen to Bublés Christmas album a million times without getting sick of it (okay i probably would but I need to exaggerate a bit)
• May Ev'ry Day Be Christmas - Irma ThomasSuper chill Christmas song, I don't have much to say about it except that it's fantabulous and sets me in a very christmassy mood
Wow excuse me that this got very long, I felt that it'd be a bit more personal if I added a little comment to each song but that made it very long, so I hope you don't mind! If you don't want to look up all of these songs yourself, I've created it as a Spotify playlist and you can find it right HERE. Also created a Youtube playlist right HERE with the songs in case you don't have Spotify.
I wish you all a very merry December, and there'll definitely be many more Christmas themed posts up during the coming month! Stay cutie and keep doing you!
It's Elsa here and this month I've been super inspired by the Chirstmas season (it means that I've been literally watching all the Chirstmas movies I had and I've been listening to all the Chirstmas playlists I found ☺), so I decided to come back for a second episode of my "Pimp My Room With Elsa" series (find the first one here ) all dedicated to Christmas yaay !
So in this article I'm gonna show you step by step how to make your own Tumblr inspired Christmas dashboard !
Step 1 : Paint in the color of your choice a piece of carboard (the larger piece you'll take, the most pictures you will be able to put on). I decided to go with this ombré red color because I thought it was definitely in the Christmas spirit. You can of course go with any color of your choice.
Step 2&3 : Purchase some fun Christmas washy tape (you can find some super rad ones here and here for really cheap prices) and tape these on the edges of your cardboard to create a frame.
Step 4 : Print out and cut out some cute Christmas pictures. You can find bunch of these by tracking the Christmas tag on Tumblr here or by taking a look at my We Heart It collection here I made especially for the occasion.
Step 5 : Display your pictures on your cardboard to see how you want them to be.
Step 6 : And last, tape down your picture with your cute washi tape !
To hang it up I simply used clothes pins but you can also bore two holes on the top edge of your cardboard and add a rope !
This is how it looks on my wall, I really love it and so do my friends, so you should definitly try this out and you'll get a bunch of compliments on it !
So by now you’ve probably heard the phrase actions speak louder than words ten billion times, but you probably haven’t thought about how much more power actions hold. An action is worth 100 words and can give you a true indication of someone’s personality and intentions.
Actions are very powerful things and can not only leave you physically scarred but also mentally. Words and actions come hand in hand but if someone says that they love you more than life itself but constantly physically abuse you, do they mean it? I recently found a passage from a psychology book online that I unfortunately don’t know the name of but I would like to share it as it shows how much meaning actions actually have.
Many years ago, I was interviewing a woman named Sheila by telephone. She was describing the rages that my client Michael would periodically have: “He just goes absolutely berserk, and you never know when he’s going to go off like that. He’ll just start grabbing whatever is around and throwing it. He heaves stuff everywhere, against the walls, on the floor- it’s just a mess. And he smashes stuff, important things sometimes. Then it’s like the storm just passes; he calms down; and he leaves for a while. Later he seems kind of ashamed of himself.”I asked Sheila two questions. The first was, when things got broken, were they Michael’s, or hers, or things that belonged to both of them? She left a considerable silence while she thought. Then she said, “You know what? I’m amazed that I’ve never thought of this, but he only breaks my stuff. I can’t think of one thing he’s smashed that belonged to him.” Next, I asked her who cleans up the mess. She answered that she does.I commented, “See, Michael’s behaviour isn’t nearly as berserk as it looks. And if he really felt so remorseful, he’d help clean up.”
Michael didn’t need to say anything because his actions showed that he couldn’t care less. If he really felt bad, he would’ve made himself into clean up as an apology. Actions have so much underestimated power that is almost hidden if you don’t look close enough. Actions can be used for good though! An example of this is when someone drops all of their books in a crowded hall and someone decides to help them and pick some up. That shows that the person is a very kind and selfless person. The people passing by don’t get as good of a reputation in some minds though because they can come across as rude.
Words can hurt someone for a while but eventually the effect they have dies down and they are seen as stupid. Words have power momentarily no matter how long they are and can increase insecurity levels, bad thoughts, anxiety, depression and stress. They don’t have as bad of an effect as actions do in the long run, but they do hurt and anyone that says they don’t is lying. They can cause many self esteem issues that can take years to be overcome and can cause people to feel very sad. If people don’t know you personally, don’t take the opinion they have on you personally because they don’t know you well enough to judge you. Just keep doing you because if you have people that don’t know you make rude comments, you are doing something right my friend.
Actions speak louder than words and promises mean nothing without proof. Keep doing what you love to do and show people how compassionate you are with actions and it will really prove how passionate you are. Keep doing you and keep smiling. XO, Kiara
Every girl's dream is to have a closet full of beautiful clothes, glamorous pair of shoes, expensive jewelries and many more girly stuffs. But there should be clothing pieces that should not be absent in your closet.
Here are five clothing pieces that should always be on your closet:
Black Dress - It’s classic and never gets out of style. You can wear it on day or night. Any color of shoes or bag can match that black dress of yours!
Denim Jeans - It’s very comfortable to wear and it’s casual. You can wear it in anywhere and anytime. And you can literally match it in any kind of top.
Sneaker - When you’re tired of wearing heels, wear sneakers. You can now pair you sneakers with your cute dress without ruining your look. You can also wear it with jeans or shorts.
V-neck white tee - Simple but flexible. White tees are very easy to spice up. You can just wear it with floral pants and you’re good to go. Or wear a good piece of necklace. Or cover it up with your boyfriend’s polo shirt!
Pearl accessories - Just like the black dress, pearl accessories are classic and never get out of style. And just like the denim jean, you can literally match it in anything.
I hope this post is helpful. For more fashion advice and tips don't hesitate to ask us, the fabulous girl of XO Mag.

Hey girls and guy (just in case some random guy is reading this)! I'm Barbi and I'm 19. I'm a college student and I'm taking up Multimedia Arts so basically I'm an art student which for some sounds kinda lame. Since I was a kid arts has a big part in my life. I grew up with coloring books and when I was in elementary and we have some art activities I always feels happy when my work is posted on the bulletin board because it means that your work is good.
When I went to high school I still love arts but this time it's literary arts. That's when I started to appreciate words. I became a writer for my school paper (which for your information, ladies and gentlemen, have won many awards I'm so sorry I'm just so proud of it hahaha.) And since technology is in, this is also the time when I started to like photography.
My love for arts is obviously the reason why I chose the course I'm studying right know. It's also my way of exploring the world of arts.
Aside from that side of me I want you to know, here are some other facts about me. I'm an only child. Some of my other interests are fashion, music & movies. I love eating pastries and sweet treats. In fact I want to learn how to bake. I really love antiques and vintage things. Everyone loves Disney including me (I know you love Disney too!). I'm pretty much fascinated by the beauty of the Eiffel Tower. I love watching Youtube videos. I'm subscribed to nigahiga and pwediepie! They're awesome and fabulous! I like watching action and romantic comedy movies. I always listen to Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Cher Lloyd, Beyonce, Maroon 5, The 1975, Paramore and of course the legends The Beatles.
Now let's get so serious, here are some weird and funny facts about me. I have big front teeth and they have a small gap. I eat a lot but I don't get fat which is really annoying because I want to gain weight. I'm afraid of spiders. I wanted to be a soldier. I always clean my phone every night with alcohol and tissue. I stopped using feeding bottles and diapers when I was in 2nd grade. I love strawberry flavored foods but I haven't taste an actual strawberry I love chocolates with raisins but I hate eating raisins. I don't like pineapples on pizza. I can't go out of the house without a hand sanitizer or alcohol, tissue and handkerchief.
Since I've already embarrassed myself, I'm going to do the outro right now.
This fall, and for the rest of my life from now on, I want to make time for more adventuring. So why not come up with a cute, and comfortable, outfit that is perfect for a slightly chillier day when you want to have an adventure and discover some new pretty places.
Here are the pieces I have included in this super cute outfit! I also added links to a couple of other options for some of the pieces that are for examples cheaper or so.
B&W stripey long sleeve top. Alternative 2, Alternative 3
Black athletic tights. Alternative 2, Alternative 3
Blue and green flannel. Alternative 2
Dark blue sneakers. Alternative 2
Soft bralette. Alternative 2, Alternative 3
Gold backpack.
Yellow polaroid camera.
I'm quite sure that I'll wear this some day on fall break because I want to spend some time outside and I think that this is a super duper cute outfit. But I will probably have to throw on a jacket as well, since it has already gotten oh so cold here in Sweden!
hi guys! its grace, aka derangedhood. so i'm so sorry that this is late compared to everyone else, but this is all about me! this is just gonna tell you well, all about me. (hence the name) so keep on reading if you'd like :)
okay, so hello! my name is grace, i'm 13 years old, and live in Florida, USA. like Holly, i go to regular public school, and it is a real pain. but it's all worth it in the end.
i joined tumblr about a year and a half ago, but didn't really start using it till February this year. i've changed blog styles recently from indie/bambi to indie/boho.
one main thing that is a big part of my life is that bands practically take over my life. there's a ton that i like, the list would go on and on. but my two favorites are one direction and 5 seconds of summer. others are arctic monkeys, alt-J, mayday parade, green day, blink-182, etc. like i said, the list goes on and on. i don't know why, but there's something to bands that bring me joy, and i love it.
others things that i like are big and small cities. i love big cities, with all the people and interaction and energy, it just makes me feel good inside, reminding me that there are tones of great people i still haven't met yet. another i love is shopping! it's one of my favorite activities to do. i don't necessarily go to the mall, but prefer to shop online. i do go to malls since getting your clothes right away is great, but i like to stay at home and shop online much better :)
i've gone through my hard times, especially last june, when my father passed away from colon cancer. i 'talk' to him every night, telling him i hoped he had a great day and that he will tomorrow. i don't physically talk though, it's more like a mind talk, or a pray. it was a hard time to get through, but i'm better now.
i tend to waych a lot of tv shows and movies on netflix, my favorites being doctor who, sherlock, house m.d., etc, and my favorite movie of all time, school of rock. that movie is just funny, witty, and overall great. i watch a lot of romantic movies though, gah i'm such a hopeless romantic! i don't know, i just like seeing two people fall in love, even if it is fiction.
that's basically it for me! i'm always here if you guys need me :) i really wish i could talk to you guys. i love you all!

On September 29, 2014 we had a tour in Subic for our Biology class. Subic is a bay on the west coast of the island of Luzon in Zambales, Philippines. It was really tiring but despite the long walks and really hot weather I had so much fun. Because that was my kind of adventure.
One of my favorite part of every tours I had was the road trip. I really love sitting beside the window. I love looking at the way we are taking. I love seeing how the places change. Like what happened during this trip. From dawn to morning. From tall buildings to tall tress. From concrete structures to green leaves.
Our first destination was Ocean Adventure. It has four shows. First was the Walk on the Wild Side. It features wild or forest animals like the grass owl, eagle, bear cat and a big snake. They also have domesticated animals like the dog and cat. Sadly, I forgot the names of these animals.
The second show was the Balancing Act. It was more of a narrating show where the host was explaining some things about the balance in Earth. I didn’t understand what she was saying because I was busy taking photos for our project but the message was we need to protect the environment. This show also features the African Acrobat which were really awesome. I’ve seen acrobatic shows before but this one was really great.
The third show was the Dolphin Show and the cutest show ever. I just love the dolphins. They were so cute. I’m lucky that my camera lens was a zoom lens because we were at the back and top most part of the stadium. This show will definitely be the favorite of kids and kids at heart.
The last show was the Sea Lion show. This one was the funniest! There was a volunteer who fell on the water. But I know that it was scripted but it was still funny! And I really love Simba (middle) she was blind but she was really energetic. I just love her.
After Ocean Adventure we went to Zoobic Safari. Here we had a lot of walk walk walk and walk. But I enjoyed it! But it was really tiring and I’ve been complaining for it the whole time but it was fun!
We went first at the Zoobic Cave where there was replicas of animals. But I think those were skins of dead animals and they just stuffed something inside it. Because they seem to look real. Next was the Forbidden Cave, I have to be honest nothing interesting inside.
After that was the most exciting part. We went inside the tiger safari. Which was another way around, we were inside a caged jeepney and they were outside, free and wild. One of the tigers went on the roof of the jeepney which was really cool!
After the terrifying encounter with the tigers was the animal show. I was already tired by that time so I didn’t enjoy it. But the kids (Some of the professors brought their kids) were having so much fun. I really want to touch the snake but they were looking for male volunteers. Sad.
Next was the Serpentarium. Yeah you are right. Snakes. Snakes. Snakes. And. Reptiles. I enjoyed his one. I was really fascinated by the snakes inside it. I don’t know why but I had fun with this part of the tour.
Next was the Savannah. Ostrich. Horses. Fat belly pigs. Goat. All those kinds of animals were there. The fat belly pigs were so cute. I want to take them home.
Next was the Bone Museum. Obviously, they feature the bones of the animals here. They were hard to identify, actually. But they have labels for the names so you don’t have to guess.
The last part was the Aeta’s Trail. Here, they feature the Aetas and they showed us their ritual dances. What I like the most about the Zoobic Safari was that they value these people. They know that they were the real inhabitants of the island and they were giving opportunities for them. They are working and they were also selling some souvenirs.
