SM Science and Discovery Center at the Mall of Asia

Another "first" here in the Philippines is the SM Science and Discovery Center. It is a state of the art interactive type of museum wherein visitors can touch, play and be part of the exhibits. The center have games wherein you can play along and see yourself in the computer monitor as you do so. It is like being there inside the actual game! This place is recommended for kids to vist since it helps them to learn Science beyond just the book type of learning. (Too bad they didn't have this during my younger years, I might have Aced Science class!)

Take a peek of what this place has to offer...



This planetarium is actually a 360 degrees cinema with comfortable chair and good surround sytem. Too bad wasn't able to take photos inside. I guess I was so entertained by the film shown. It was as if I was really in the location shoot!

Remember him? One of our favorite robot from our yesteryears. Nice to see you again Astroboy!


SINAG is the solar powered vehicle done by Filipino students that won in an International discovery/ inventors competion. Proud to be pinoy!

This display shows what happens to our body gases. Do you know why we burp?

In this area, visitors watch nature awareness show that reminds us to take care of our environment.

Its location being inside the mall makes it very accessible and convenient for its visitors. SM Science and Discovery Center,is not just a place for learning but is also a venue where friends can have fun and families can bond together.

New Airsoft Gamesite : The Backyard

Alas! Here's another Airsoft related entry. New gamesite, that is since it's my first time to go here. Been a while since I've played this sport and playing again makes me realize how fun it was!

The excitement came back once I started wearing my BDU ( Uniform ) again. Gearing up is always part of the fun in this hobby. Since I haven't played for a long time, my airsoft gears isn't that complete anymore; thus, I need to borrow some stuffs from my team mates. It's always an advantage having those sweet, nice, ever-reliable teammates of mine. Wink! Wink! ( I just need to say that last line so they will lend me their stuffs again! )

What made me play again was this new gamesite that my teamates have been talking about. They call it - The Backyard. They said it's new and they have been hearing some nice reviews about it. Then, that means I need to see and try it for myself.

The place is Located in Mandaluyong inside the Women's correctional village. Location alone makes me wonder how the place looks like. Seems like another interesting place to see. A game site inside the correctional? Hmm.. . isn't that intriguing?

As I arrive in the place, I did an ocular inspection with my team mates. The site is pretty small, I say just about 500 sq meters ( not so sure but just an estimate ) one can stand in one side and see the full game field. One thing I like about the area is, is that it has lot's of obstacles and cover-ups. There are plywood set-ups, old drums, cluster of trees, a little made-up river, twigs and sack blocks and some other barriers which is essential to a good game site. The place also have a stand-up post for Martials ( Martials are those people who officiate the game) where they stay during the game. This is a plus factor since the it enables them to see and facilitate the game better.

Kudos to team Saga and all those who maintain this site! Good job sirs and Ma'ams! See you in the next battle.
