Unleashing the "kid" in us at The Mind Museum

-
What started out as a simple date at the San Agustin Church Museum, turned out to be the new born hobby of the boyfriend and I. To date, we've also been to Ayala Museum, The National Museum of the Philippines and the fourth and most recent - The Mind Museum. 

Let me just share with you first some highlights of the three previous museums. San Agustin Church Museum was I guess the most memorable since it was also the day we officially became together. There were life size relics of saints and other antiques found during the Spanish Era. On the time we visited the Ayala Museum, the main highlight of their exhibit are gold relics found in different caves around the country. It is a four story building and is well maintained with full blast air conditioning units and properly functioning elevators. It should be the case since the entrance fee is quite pricey at PhP 425.00 for regular admission and non-resident (of Makati). What we enjoyed most at The National Museum of the Philippines were the many different display of paintings of various national artists. Our most favorite - Spolarium by Juan Luna. The entrance fee is very affordable at PhP 150.00.

We were in awe upon seeing this huge canvas.

Just recently, adding to our bucket list of museums-to-be was The Mind Museum. We were lucky to have gift certificates that day but for normal rates, it may vary since they give discounts for public school students and children as well as if you're going for only three hours or an all day pass, you can check the prices here. The place is a venue for interactive learning that even adults can enjoy too. There are also continuous 10-minute shows that you can catch on topics like evolution and solar system. To further visualize the trip, below are our photos. Take a guess on who enjoyed the most. =)












So, would we recommend it? Of course! Bring the whole family, friends and special someones with you! =)

Dealing with LBC Express

I have been a community relations assistant for 4 1/2 years now and I have been accustomed as to how an issue or concern should be managed. If one resident has a problem, I collect all the details and if it is beyond my authority to decide, I relay it to my immediate supervisor or project manager and they advise me on the way forward. It is also what I revert to the person. I remember how the community people would nag me whenever I don't give them a feedback right away and at first, I admit, I don't understand why they have to be stubborn. But later on did I began to appreciate when your queries are addressed properly and promptly just like a customer and service provider relationship. Last Thursday, I had the worst experience in customer relations.

The Beautiful Pinto Art Museum

In the quiet place of Grand Heights at Antipolo lies a unique and beautiful museum namely,  Pinto Art Museum . It houses numerous paintings, may it be on acrylic or wood, by Filipino painters such as Neil Manalo, Elmer Borlongan, and Alfredo Esquillo Jr. among others. There are also other installations collaborated through the use of other media that I never thought would look perfectly good altogether. It was a refreshing site to see. The level of appreciation I have for paintings or any other art pieces are not as technical as others may have but I must commend that the exhibit inside are very beautiful indeed. Here are snapshots of some of the paintings: Mga Bata sa Pantasya ng Karahasan by Neil Manalo Karnabal by Salingpusa (several artists). This is also one of the two largest canvases in the museum.
