The one thing I will never forget the ridiculously early call time at school: 5:30AM! Que horror. Add to that ridiculous call time is the fact that it was ridiculously cold as well! I didn’t have any sleep for fear of not being able to wake up (bad call I know!).

Things I Learned When Matthew Went On a Field Trip:

1. Don’t waste money and time going to the grocery to load his bag full of baon. He would be so excited he would not even eat. AT ALL. What he would want to eat would be the ones found in the food stalls at the trip sites, naturally.
2. In relation to Item No.1, load yourself with money. Lots of it. Because Matthew will want to buy every souvenir he wants and would insist to buy a ridiculously priced dolphin with “Manila Ocean Park” stitched to it for Martha. Then he would insist to buy pasalubong for Lolo and Lola as well. Naturally.
3. Just let him not eat. Seriously. I think the only dull spot of our trip was when I got angry because he just was not interested in eating.

It was honestly a disappointment, but what the heck my son was fascinated with everything he saw (he made sure to read every freaking sign I tell you). I was busy taking pictures and showing Matthew what I can recall in the creatures I saw in the movie Finding Nemo (hee hee, hindi ako ganun ka-nerd katulad ni Matthew).

And he was fascinated. Not really with what he saw, but HOW the sea creatures are captured, put inside the aquarium and what will people do if they get out (neurotic I tell you). He was asking that when we went to the really short tunnel that they boast of resembling the ocean parks of other countries.

And I need to show you this ONE picture Mato wanted me to take a picture of. He said he wanted to show it to Martha.

It’s a Spider Crab.

I was bored to death. But I had my cup of Starbucks Dark Cherry Mocha afterwards so sulit na din :) . Besides my son enjoyed himself naman. But he enjoyed himself more at Enchanted Kingdom. More of that on the next post!
