National Museum, A Journey to the Past

There was nothing much to do in the third world on a regular Sunday. Me and the neighbor kids decided to make it meaningful and worthwhile (i guess so) by trooping the National Museum. We braved the scorching heat of the sun to get a glimpse of the past.

It was Sunday so the visit was free. Digital cameras were prohibited (but not mobile phones with camera so i courageously used my phone to take some photos). Information overload and feast to our very own eyes were the relics displayed. Would you believe that there were "komiks" too in the exhibit area dating back 1950s? There were some foreign tourists too and some locals but you can count them with your fingers.

So much for the blabbering and pictionary ahead.

Sunday Troopers

Old coins
Chinawares

Diorama of recovering the artifacts

some tools during the metal age
taking a break
passing by orchidarium
a calesa. old transport but now you have to pay hefty sums to get a simple ride
Passing by Rizal Park in Luneta. Man it was really hot hot hot that day.

a balloon vendor

It was a tiring but wholesome entertainment.

Kids these days should be taught about our rich history and cultures rather than being educated by an idiot box where violence, sex and commercialism abounds. If only the government could spend properly the allocated budget in education then maybe, just maybe kids of today will be...... (your opinion may fill in the missing phrase).

$%^&*

in a couple of days i will be back in Mindoro (again! yay) for a short vacation. more pics to come then. gonna hit the beach (again!) and burn my skin. molting was completed last week (talking 'bout snake). summer is just beginning and i haven't started yet. gonna see old friends again (as if i have not seen them just a couple of weeks ago). and the indian mango and bagoong alamang with the latest craze THE BAR.

Daily Armours

Alcohol (kills germs), Kiehl's #1 (always got dry lips), Eye Mo Red (self explanatory), Maxx candies (sore throat hehe), Ipod ( i listen to alternatives only), Spyder (nakakasilaw si haring araw sa umaga).

No mobile phone included. When its work, its just work. No texting. My office phone can reach anywhere up to planet Mars. Sorry thieves. :(

What're your daily essentials you can't leave behind?

summer time landscaping

its summertime here in the third world and its hard to landscape. and to top that there's the El Nino. dry spell hit big time. watering the plants is somewhat tedious.

i happen to drop by a short visit to the old house (my parentals) to check out what's happening. normal life there and my younger bro took some courage to rearrange some plants. i wouldn't say a great landscaping thing but nonetheless okay i guess.
