#TBT - Of Birthday & Fishes (January 2010)
All photos shared are from my personal collection.
#ThrowbackThursday or #TBT is a popular tag on mainstream social media. However, I haven't seen much post pertaining to this topic on Steem. Allow me then to share some of my memories with you. I actually thought of this idea as I was browsing through my digital photo albums. It made me realize that I have been living what I believe in -- building memories with loved ones and people that matter while they're still around.
Travel back in time to January 2010. We were celebrating Mom's 67th birthday then. We thought of doing something different. We decided to try visiting Manila Ocean Park. It is located some 3.6km away from our place, not too far if you ask me.
In all honesty, as I was looking through my photos, I wish that I took more photos. I also wish that I knew then what I know now in terms of capturing moments and photographs. Anyway, if I remember correctly, we opted for Package A. It meant that we could tour the Oceanarium -- the huge aquarium that we could walkthrough, Fish Spa, and Boat Ride. That sounded fun to me, my daughter, and Mom.
Let's start off with the Oceanarium. I now feel that the photos I took then were not good enough to do justice to the beauty of the entire area. However, I do believe that I captured really great memories.
Look who's goofing around with the fish(es). My daughter was a teenager back then. She's now a young lady. Sometimes, I couldn't believe how time just flew by.
Yup, that was me, almost ten years ago. I must say I definitely looked better and younger. LOL ^_^
That's the entrance to the tunnel area where you could see the entire aquarium up above. I just couldn't believe that I was not able to take any photos of it.
There's my daughter again posing with the fish(es). I remember that she wanted to swim with them.
Next up was the Fish Spa. These tiny fish supposedly ate away any dead skin cells on your feet. It was our first time to try it then. I thought it was really relaxing.
Someone didn't want to admit it, but she got scared initially. All she had in mind was piranhas that would eat your feet away. LOL! I believe the photo captured her sentiments of that moment.
Alas, that's what it looked like when the tiny fish were at work. It actually felt a bit ticklish. No, they didn't bite. At least I didn't feel anything that would alarm me.
The last part of the adventure was the Glass Bottom Boat Ride. There was a long line for it too. This was where we rode a boat with glass bottom atop the huge aquarium that we saw downstairs. It was a short boat ride that we could not compare to the later ones that we experienced out in the open sea.
Last but not the least, there's Mom and me. The birthday celebrant had the time of her life! My daughter and I enjoyed the experience as well. I'm happy to say that this was just the beginning of our adventures. Till then!

So good to go through the memories my friend, but in my case there are always the "If only's" and so I rather avoid the past.
Some very nice memories here and glad that your mom had a good time.
Blessings!
