FIELD TRIP
After 7 years, I went back as an alumnus scout to my high school to join the field trip to Avilon Zoo. Sulit nga naman... all 4 alumni only paid for the entrance fee and lunch. Transpo is free (or rather shouldered by the students...hahaha!). It had been such a long time since I last used my neckerchiefs. Yep, we were required to wear type D (white shirt, jeans, rubbershoes, neckerchief). Buti nalang di kami staff coz they are required to wear their type A. (My type A is the printed white top, entremely green skirt, and the cadet scout neckerchief.)
Somehow, we were like baby sitters. We were on the same team as the elementary scouts. The kids are relatively well behaved as compared to my little devil pamangkins. However, kids are kids. We have to stay behind them... baka merong pasaway and mawala. Pero actually, kaming mga alumni yung pasaway... To our amazement sa snake area, we lost the group. Hahaha! We have to survey the area everytime we have to move locations coz these kids have the tendency to leave some of their things behind. I was shocked when Drich saw a bag of a videocam na naiwan ng one of the kids... although I'm not sure if it really has a videocam inside. But still, how can that little guy leave a big bag behind? Also, one of the girls lost her wallet. She pointed me the pocket in her jogging pants where she put her wallet. Grabe, ang baba ng pocket, ang laki ng butas and overflowing na with stuff like handkerchief, etc. Pano ba naman di mawawala yung wallet nya? But of course, di ko sinabi yun.
The zoo is only an hour away from school. Clean up to international level. Although there's a natural tendency for Pinoys na magkalat, their maintenance crew are relatively fast workers. Animals are kinda well fed and groomed... ang tataba and some of them, mga bagong ligo pa, unlike those at Malabon Zoo.
cute cute ng lion... nakabulagta, laging tulog.
They have these extremely big fresh water fishes, the arapainas (or arapaimas?). Sobrang dami nila... and they're like giant sea serpents with a head that resembles a catfish without the whiskers. And by the way, you can buy chicken heads to feed those carnivorous creatures.
Look at this peacock. He's the only male in he cage with 3 females. Mukhang medjo mabigat yung burden nya, specially when he's trying to impress the females, pero walang pumapansin sa kanya. Wawa naman.
Basta maganda... and of course masaya! Specially now when I'm busy reviewing, I have lesser chances of meeting friends, lalo na friends from high school.
