Visiting an old fish pet shop

Hello everyone! We were out and about for almost a whole month! With God’s grace we were able to take time off for a vacation. Sharing with you one afternoon we spent in an old pet store – more like an aquarium fish shop. Well, it reminded me of the fish store my childhood friend owned since it is old yet full of happy fish life, but this fish store is a bit bigger.

Lots of aquarium fishes!

The kids are super thrilled to visit the pet store even if it is not as shiny and new looking like mall pet shops. The pet store surprisingly has a lot of aquarium fish varieties which include: Tetra glow fish, Flower horn, Gold Fish, Betta Fish, Angel Fish, Janitor Fish, Arowana, Molly fish, Platties, and more. The kids did not even notice that time is passing, and we spent like half an hour or so there ogling the fishes!  🐠

The littles were so worked up to see lots of fish poo! Anyway, the lady who owns the store was so gracious that she kept on answering our questions, even allowing us to film in her store. So there, thank you Ma’am Pet Shop Owner 😃  It may be an old store but it really is worth exploring. Truly, we cannot judge a book by its cover! The old shop brought a lot of happiness to the littles.

Affordable fish, fish supplies, and aquarium accessories

Of course, the prices of aquarium fish there were much cheaper compared to mall pet shops. They are also complete when it comes to aquarium accessories and fish supplies. They have various types of fish food, vitamins, aquarium tank supplies and accessories, among other needs of fish keeping families.

Food for the soul

At this point, I hope you can allow me to share with you one of my favorite bible passages, this time from the First Letter of St. Peter:

“And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.”

1 Peter 5:10

Thank you very much for stopping by and till next post!

Hidden Gems to Explore by Road in the Philippines

There are a lot of hidden gems worth exploring in the Philippines!

If you are ever on a road trip and want to have a less common experience that is not as crowded as some tourist destinations, the Angono Petroglyphs and Pililla Wind Farm are excellent choices. 

When traveling with small children, the scenic drives make for a great experience. The views provide plenty of opportunities to play car games. Road trips are perfect for family bonding, and exploring hidden gems together creates lasting memories.

The only downside to road trips is the possibility of getting a small dent in your car because of debris on the road. Thankfully, these dents are easy to fix on your own with a plunger, or if you prefer a repair shop, they can cost around 800 pesos.

Angono Binangonan Petroglyphs

Located in Rizal, the Angono Binangonan Petroglyphs are rock drawings made by carving into a rock wall in Angono, Rizal, Philippines.

There are many symbolic representations associated with both healing magic and sympathetic magic in these engravings. Tagalog folk religion considers the site sacred, believing it to be the home of anitos or ancestor spirits.

Visitors can explore these ancient drawings independently or take guided tours led by experts from the National Museum of Anthropology in Manila or other private organizations certified for tourism services.

The National Museum of the Philippines declared it a National Cultural Treasure in 1973. The Angono Binangonan Petroglyphs is the perfect stop for those interested in the culture and history of the Philippines.


Pililla Wind Farm

Also in Rizal is the Pililla Wind Farm with 27 wind turbine generators. The whole wind farm can generate enough electricity to power more than 66,000 households.

Pililla Wind Farm is a must-see for any visitor to Rizal. The site offers panoramic views of Laguna Bay and Tanay, and lush greenery surrounds the wind turbines. Visitors can walk to various parts of the site, making it accessible for all ages and mobility levels. 

Pililla Wind Farm is located about two hours from Manila. It is considered one of the country’s top leaders in clean energy, contributing to its vision of becoming a clean energy economy. 

Hidden gems can be found all over the Philippines. Whether you are interested in history, culture, or nature exploration, there is a hidden gem waiting for you to explore with your family on your next road trip.

Thank you for reading up mommies! Till next post!
