Pulanglah lewat jalan yang aku tanami tangkai-tangkai perdu -- dan lihat bahwa lampu-lampu itu tetap telanjang membawa pesan dari kupu-kupu di sini. Tapi dirimu akan cepat kembali, bukan?

Kembalilah ke sini sebelum jam meleleh dan melagu, kenali angin yang menepuk bahumu.

"Games for Three" by Cesar Legazpi stolen from the Internet, too. After my journey to Ayala Museum, I decided to do some research about Fernando Zobel, Juan Luna, and F.R. Hidalgo. Those are the great artists in my o

Sneaking around the Sofitel just to see the sunset at Manila Bay. Okay, maybe the caption of the picture seemed to be a bullshit, but I must tell you guys, we really sneaked around Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila, a 5-star hotel, with our casual-flipflop-backpack outfit and leave without being called by the authorities. That's only one of the exciting memories I'm currently having here as part of an AIESEC exchange program. But before I go further, I must write a blog about museums in Manila, so.. here it is. On the way to Roxas Blvd. On Monday, we went to the Metropolitan Museum of Manila. In the schedule.. it says that we must meet at Trinoma/SM North at 9 AM. But because we were so friggin' tired after climbed Mt. Maculot the day before, we made it at 1 PM. Nice.  Okay, so we (me, Karlie, Keisha, and Ajay) took the LRT at Roosevelt straight to the Quirino Station and walked around a little bit at Manila Zoo and Botanical Garden on the way (we
