While I know that some already know the things they could see in the mentioned places, I cannot help but to share what I just discovered and we experienced because I am just really happy seeing things which are unusual for me as I, together with my daughter live in the province. So this writing is more like our experiences.. while unveiling the beauty of these places.
1. Experience 3D/4DX cinemas.
Location: Greenbelt 3, Cinema 5
Cost: 500 Php
Note: A child whose height is below 42 cm is not allowed.
Trivia: So far, there are just 4DX cinemas in the Philippines: Bonifacio High Street Cinema 4, Greenbelt 3 in Cinema 5,UP Town Center in Cinema 5
I know that you are familiar with 3D. So let us just define 4DX. 4DX allows a motion picture presentation to be augmented with environmental effects such as seat motion, wind, rain, lights, and scents along with the standard video and audio. (Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/4DX)
Unfortunately, we were not able to experience this because we are with our daughter whose height is 34 cm. Indeed, prior to our day out, we were surfing the Internet for the rules for 4DX so we can know if our daughter will be allowed, because we have the plan to buy the ticket online for sure seats. Yes, you can buy tickets online. Just let Mr. Google do the searching. :D Yet sad to know we really cant find such rules so we ended up deciding to just buy it once we reach the Cinema. And yes, it turned out that we are just to avail the ordinary cinema that costs 320 Php per ticket. By the way, we watched The Lion King. Funny to say that our daughter ended up sleeping the whole time. Haha. That was her first cinema experience.
Praying that I could have another post for a 4DX cinema experience. Guess we need to let someone to take care of our little ones mommies to enjoy this. =)
2. Have Instagrammable photos to their parks.
Location: Greenbelt Park
Their parks are really clean, of course, they are maintained to be that way. But what my daughter likes the most is to see the fishes and the tortoise. Yes, there is one, I think because we just saw one. Haha! Well, you know kids, they are just fond of seeing things which are colorful, unusual... especially at that age that they are just discovering. My daughter is just 3 years old.
For now, I lack the skills for photography but soon, in God's perfect time. Haha!
3. Visit the Top of the Glo.
Location: Top of Glorietta
This is what amused me. Top of the Glo is a rooftop garden patio that is unusual from other parks. Instead of benches, there are tents (made half-size of the standard tent). You are going to sit on the grass. It's so clean that you will be ashamed to leave your trashes there. Yes, people eat there.
You could buy food and just bring them there or buy food which are just around the area.
By the way, Top of the Glo is really surrounded by restaurants. So there would be no problem if you are already starving because, indeed, it is on top so patience is a virtue in order to reach the place. Haha!
Another bonus are the glowing boxes to seat upon. I was surprised that a kid just carried one and transferred it to the tent where they are in. There is another set of colorful lights. They are really good to be looked at .. at night. For me, the place is really relaxing. It's just wow! Knowing the fact that you did not spend something to see a beautiful place. Hehe!
Honestly, I was just looking for city lights. I told my husband that and I added that it could be done if we are going to look for rooftops. And we saw the glowing letters of "TOP OF THE GLO" Since it's "TOP.." I thought that we are heading the right way.. a wish granted. Yes! Haha! But it is beyond our expectation. It is really worth visiting. =)
4. Attend a mass in Sto. Nino de Paz Chapel.
Location: Greenbelt Park
If you are a Catholic, the schedule of the masses could be seen just in front of the Chapel. We were not able to take pictures as we did not attend for we are not Catholics but if you would like to see how the chapel looks like, there are a lot of pictures from the Internet. Just type the name of the Chapel. But, of course, if your purpose is to attend the mass, the appearance of the worship place would not matter for the real Church is inside you, where Jesus resides... in your hearts. So the significant thing here is God's message for the renewal of the Spirit. =)
Well, that's it for this post! I hope mentioned activities could be your family goals. Hoping to hear your experiences, mommies and daddies! =)
