THINGS I LOVE IN PARADIZOO AND RESIDENCE INN

Last March 11, 2017, I was one of the luckiest to take part in a tour to Paradizoo and Residence Inn of Zoomanity Group in Tagaytay City. Ms. Grace of Tag Media has been so kind to me all these times to give such humongous  freebies like HAPPINESS... Speaking of happiness, Zoomanity Group's main goal to everyone is to give such great happiness in everyone who would come to any of their awesome leisure and pleasure theme parks and places and in here I am sharing why I would always comeback to these places in any seasons all year around...

There are lots of things i really love in Paradizoo. Things that would like you to know so you may want to have the same pleasure and liesure i been having all these times of coming back in here whether as a blogger or a guest.... Here I have 10.

1. It is only here I get to have a very close encounter with farm animals. They are very domesticated and petting them is such a wonderful experience

These sheep are trained to follow their handler... One of the tricks, well, is to keep rewarding them with treats.
2. The weather... oh! I really love the weather here! Rain or shine or even just a cloudy day,  here you would never have a gloomy day of a visit. You would always love the entire place sparkle as the rain pours down on every leaves and flowers. The smell of the earth lingers as the entire place change its color to more vivid and variant ones. Every species of flowers bloom everyday will definitely tell you you to stop smell them and appreciate the beauty of life...

3. The staff and farm crew are very much friendly and accommodating to everyone. They will make sure that everything you need and want will be done or given ASAP. They are very patient in everything and serving you with a smile from the beginning of the tour til the end will really give you that thought I SHALL RETURN...

4. The food!!!!! I love the food!!!! Such Filipino Food that I have been missing since I am living in Manila is being served in here... Simple as fried galunggong, pork and chicken adobo, pandan scented rice, steamed veggies like okra, eggplant, kangkong served with alamang and garnished with fresh tomatoes and onion... I will feel so homey while you eat with such "palamig" made with raw honey and suman dipped in honey too. It is so comfortable to eat in here with such cool breeze kissing  my cheeks as you look aimlessly to every part of the greenery scenes everywhere...

5. I love the economic livelihood programs and workshop they are giving the people who would to have the same greenery and animal stocks they have in Paradizoo. Unselfishly, they give out every detail of their secrets on how they become successful in their field. That day of March 11, 2017, they have given us how to get into honeybee keeping as a hobby as well as a business. On hands on everything, with proper actual visual experiences and with on hands together with us.... The best part is having a good taste of honey and harvesting and extracting it from the bee house! Amazing indeed.

Residence Inn

The fun from Zoomanity Group never stopped just there... They had us gone to Residence Inn and here are the top 5 things I love from this place.

1. The place is so neat and clean! Everything!!! As in in every part! from the entrance to the animal haven to the dining area and performing stage... So clean! I love to stay inside the comfort rooms..NO stinky smell and the tiles are squeaky clean. The cages too! clean and don't smell at all.

2. Free charging area! I love free stuff and going there with a power drained gadgets is a YEHEY! for me. I would just wait there while I enjoy the beautiful scenery, the cool breeze of the wind, the excitement from the screaming guest doing a zip lining thingy, and eating awesome food they prepare with lots of love!

3. The shows are amazingly presented! I got to get my own moment of being in the show! ( I held a snake within my arms!) One can never get bored on every detail of the show from the beginning to end. the crew are so energetic and those smile never fades as they present.

4. The walk within my above of millions of lights is a heart captivating moment for me. I fell in love in every stair of the path of almost 100 plus steps. This part of the park is the loveliest for me. I can imagine myself falling in love again under the millions of lights with such silver lining shinning above me... (Can somebody please propose to me!)

5. The awesome hanging rides suspended in the air within the captivating scenery. While having the appreciating moment of looking at the painting like  Taal Volcano, would have that good laugh and amazement of those guests who bravely tried the zip lining ride. I love the mini heart attack as a ride like superman in the air.
