Its been a while since i went to the zoo and i was fortunate enough to be invited by Abby and her friends to go with them at Subic. At first i was very doubtful of the weather because the forecast says its gonna rain all through out the afternoon. It rained yes but heavens enlightened us a window of sunshine to make our zoo adventure trip worthwhile. We went to Zoobic Safari at Subic Bay.
Subic Safari is home to a lot of Tigers. Its actually the biggest Tiger Safari here in the Philippines. Its my first time to see a white tiger. I only see them in National Geographic and probably Simba the white lion. In this picture, the ranger is feeding the tiger with dressed chicken. Letting the visitors see the huge tiger devour that meat. According to the tour guide, Tigers here eat 7-15 lbs of meat everyday. No wonder why these cats are huge!
Owls really fascinates me. Its eyes are so eerie that sometimes by looking at them really fascinates me. This is probably my first photo of an owl up close. There are wide species of birds out there. From small colorful love birds, to noisy parrots and huge funny looking ostrich.
I happen to notice that there are a lot of doves and pigeons at the safari as well. I caught this bird in flight. Love this picture once i saw it on my view finder.
Now this shot is one of my favorites as well. I caught this ostrich looking straight at me. I dunno what is he curious about. Hes just there lookin at me. I grabbed my camera and took a photo of him. Funny looking dude.
So there you go. Those are my favorite shots from Zoobic Safari. If you want to view more pictures, please visit my multiply site at http://maaccc.multiply.com
Abby invited me to have lunch at their place and its insane if you'd resist. Abs is one great cook and she loves to experiment on a lot of dishes and it really works! Shes making something out of this tofu and i bet its gonna be real good... :)
Abby and Van both have distinguished talents in the kitchen. Like mother like daughter(s). Tita Nellie cooks really well and for sure the two ladies over here got their kitchen wonders from their mother. :) 
Pusit! Fresh from cebu. This is actually one of my favorites. Best when crunchy. Dip it on vinegar and for sure youl see sparks all over. Its so good. This is perfect with rice. :)
This is Abby's dish. Tofu with Pechay. Its really tasty. Not to mention its very healthy because of the different kinds of vegetables in it. I forgot to take a photo of the rice which is really good as well. It has this added spice which made it really tasty. I love it. :) 
This is Kulet, the Olarte's dog of the house. He just slumbers around all day and this guy snores when he sleeps! I never saw a dog who snores before.. Kulet is the first! hehe
The place not only caters to different kinds of butterflies but also to different kinds of creepy crawlies such as bugs, centipedes and scorpions!
Abby and her sister Van, searching for the finest herbs. Good cooking runs along the family and they are meticulous with the ingredients that they use.
