Last January, Sofi and I were invited to visit Paradizoo. When I told Sofi that we are going to Paradizoo, super excited na agad sya. She asked me if she can ride a horse or see a pony. :)
At the day of the event, we need to be at the meeting place around 7:30am. Since Sofi was super duper excied, 5:30am palang gising na sya, haha! The meeting place was in Makati and we rode a mini bus to get there. Paradizoo is located at Mendez, Cavite.
When we got there, super lamig sya! I heard in the news na one of the coldest day daw that day. So we had hot choco and coffee para pampainit and start our day, right! :)
In celebration of the year of the International Family Farming, experience one of the most anticipated annual festivities in the field of agriculture as Paradizoo re-unfold “Power of Three" (floral, vegetable and agri-livestock fair).
We went to butterfly farm also, and let me tell you that catching this butterfly for a photo op was not easy. I quietly talked to this butterfly to stay put. No joke. haha!
And did you know that Einstein once said that...
We were mesmerized to variety of breathtaking floral designs, formal hedges and topiary during Flower Festival. We witnessed a stunning haven of farm and garden everyone would wish to experience. Additional attention-catching topics to look forward are The Knowledge of Bonsai, Biotechnology Products, Health, Fitness and Wellness, Vermi Composting Technology, Pineapple Jam Making and Aquavermiponics, a modern gardening technology.
We also got the opportunity to check out the Veggie Festival. These two sang bahay-kubo amidst the cold weather.
The exciting part of Sofi's trip? Seeing these animals live! Sofi only sees them on tv, magazines but not live. These animals paraded in front of us. We were just a few feet away from them.
First time to see a 5 legged cow. I thought may pilay sya or something kasi she was limping. Yun pala 5 legged pala sya. Amazing, right?
This horse is so beautiful! Ang macho nya!! And adorable heart shape na naka engrave sa kanya.
Tita Kai bought some carrots so they can feed these rabbits. Agawan sila agad, haha!
We got a chance of touching some animals after their parade. They were all behaved and well trained. Good job to all their caretakers. :) I was able to touch mr.donkey and a pony. Yay!! Look at our pic in front of the ostrich! Haha! Super takot ako nyan(can you tell it from my strained smile). The ostrich kasi was trying to escape from the caretaker's hands e. Akala ko makakawala at puntahan ako. Haha!
Check out the highlights at Paradizoo!
