This day was probably one of the best I had in my life. We went to Subic Ocean Adventure with my uncle’s treat, then celebrated New Year’s Eve with my cousins and all other relatives with Media Noche and firecrackers.
Going to Subic took about less than an hour, much less compared to what we used to had before since the SCTEX road was built for shorter routes. So I have been to Subic many times but this was my first time to Ocean Adventure. We went through the forest-thick roads as we admired the ocean scenery at the other side of the car. It was perfectly calm and powdery blue, and I felt like I wanted to go to beach instead!
And soon we arrived at the huge and almost-empty parking lot area beside the venue. We fell in line, bought our tickets, then went to their aquarium displays first since we still had time before the first show.
I took some photos of the marine animals but some of the are really blurry. 
A really huge hermit crab! I used to buy small ones of that outside my school. 
Nice camouflage
Then we went towards the location of the first show. But before we arrived there, we had some mini picture-taking along the pathway.
And so we arrived at the amphitheater. They made some nice introductory songs (almost like rap) and dances about Ocean Adventure, marine life, saving the Earth through simple ways, etc. There were also two trampoline guys who performed an action comedy show which made me watch in awe!
Next location was Seaside Stadium.
A very small and cute owl
This was my favorite show: Sea Lion Marine Patrol. The program was about a sea lion who wanted to enroll in the Marine Patrol but first he had to prove himself worthy by performing tricks. Somebody from the audience could also participate but he/she have to challenge the sea lion. Of course all of these were just for fun. The sea lion and the speakers also taught us how to save the environment through 3R. The whole theme of Ocean Adventure is advocacy of saving the Earth and marine life.
I can't do that stance for sure.
Reduce, reuse, recycle

After lunch, we went to the last show of the day: Dolphins! To be honest, the dolphin show here is way better than Sentosa in Singapore.

Make dolphin a surfboard?
Saying bye-bye!
It was a hot and windy afternoon after the show so we bought ice creams. Then we went home and we saw some monkeys passing by the roads. It was a great morning at Subic!
