We availed the Pacific Sky Wonder package, which we got from a lesser price because of the voucher we had. After claiming the tickets, they will give you your schedule at Sea Lion Show & Marine Life Habitat and All Star Bird Show. They said that you can only watch the shows to the specific time they scheduled for you. But at the entrance, no one bothered to check if we were on the right schedule, haha. Maybe it's just the way they organize the crowd. But one thing you want to do when you're going to the show: Make sure you're first in line! Or else, you'll sit at the back row and will no longer see the show.

After that we went to Birds of Prey Kingdom, it is a huge aviary of Lawin or Philippine Eagle.

Birds of Prey Kingdom

Just a warning, don't look below the bridge or you'll see this.

This is a message for us. We should all be responsible of what we do to our environment. It does not only harm us, but the innocent wildlife also suffers from our wrong doing.

 Next, is the Trails of Antarctica, this part includes the Snow Village and Penguin Exhibit. 

Trails of Antartica

After lunch, we decided to go to the Fish Spa to relax while our stomach finishes digesting what we ate. You can spend only 10 minutes at the Fish Spa. You'll give your name before you go in then they'll call you when your time was up. They will also give you disposable towels to dry your feet after you emerged in the spa.

Next to that is the Jellies Exhibit. First, I thought I wouldn't enjoy this attraction because I don't actually like jellyfish, haha. But since they were inside the tanks, they can't touch me. And the jellyfish looks very magnificent inside the color lighted tanks. It reminds me the movie Life of Pi.

Jellies Exhibit

This is part of the Jellies Exhibit I love most. It is an optical illusion that at first look you thought you're entering a room with hundred cylinder tanks, but it's only actually about 5 (or more) tanks surrounded by mirrors. 

Last but not the least is the Oceanarium. This is their main attraction. Different fish in their habitats. Aquarium tanks that are bigger than you. And, the tunnel where you can experience what it's like walking beneath the ocean.

Ever wonder why big fish don't eat the small fish inside the aquarium? Because the still feed them through this.

Insanely Expensive Shoes Made By Your Favorite Fashion Designer

There are a lot of people that have a true passion for shoes. However, they will be the first to admit that this can be a pretty costly habit. While most of us are content to wear a pair of comfortable fitflops, they will spend a fortune on buying the latest footwear released by all the famous fashion designers. However, even they will find it hard to add some of these pieces to their collections as these are among the most expensive designer shoes ever made.

1. Christian Louboutin heels

This pair of heels does not feature a unique or crazy design, nothing innovative or outrageous. What is does feature is excellent craftsmanship and top material starting with the alligator skin it is made out of. This makes it a great choice for many occasions and it will go excellent with a lot of outfits, but it also comes with a hefty price tag of $4,625.

2. Gucci Boots

It is not really surprising to find out that Gucci has an entry on this list as most of its products are priced according to the high quality of the work that goes into designing and producing them. At $3,750, this pair of leather boots is a perfect example. However, thanks to its woven look, it is also the perfect choice if you want something that will draw people’s attention.

3. Balmain Boots

These boots feature suede & patent and it gives them kind of a cowboy look, but they will still go with a lot of outfits because the black & white combo makes them classy and stylish. However, anyone interested in them will also have to pay $2,725 if they want to wear them.

You can still get a lot of quality shoes without breaking the bank. If you visit http://www.soleprovisions.com, you will find a large range of products in all the styles you were looking for.
