Free Admission To Ayala Museum This July!

Yes, if you are a museum junkie like me, it would mean a big deal for you and me that Ayala Museum will be giving free admissions this coming July 25! The day will also be filled with a set of side events giving a very unqiue museum experience!

However there is just one important condition guests are requested to do in return: “Be kind.”

This event will zero in on the concept of kindness—particularly through inspiring artist activities and the generation of awareness for AFI’s volunteer opportunities.

On Saturday, July 25, 2015 from 9AM to 6PM, visitors are free to enter Ayala Museum to enjoy its permanent exhibitions on Philippine historical events, pre-Hispanic gold from the Philippines, indigenous Philippine textiles, Asian trade ceramics, and Fernando Zobel paintings, which have inspired visitors for generations. Also on view are the following changing exhibitions: Beautiful Handicrafts of Tohoku, Japan, a traveling exhibition brought by The Japan Foundation Manila to showcase the traditional crafts of areas struck by the 2011 earthquake and tsunami; From Citadel to City: Juan Luna paintings and 19th century prints from the BPI Collection, showing the parallels of the development of Juan Luna’s art to social realism and the rise of the city of Manila as seen in the works on display; and Felix Laureano: First Filipino Photographer which exhibits the work of the Panay-born pioneer.

History With Quezon City Oldest Bakery!

Quezon City celebrated their 75th anniversary last year, and the oldest bakery in the city also celebrated its diamond anniversary as well. Kamuning Bakery located along Judge Jimenez street and still has the original pugon that created countless breads that spanned decades. Under the new ownership of Wilson Lee Flores, businessman and writer, he kept the brand alive with an addition of the cafe and soon a chicken restaurant beside each other. 

And with the bakery still open to serve the rare Pan de Suelo, it also aims to revive lost bread favorites that modern bakery have forgotten or have never tried to bake. And with patrons still  flock to the bakery to taste the unique breads, spreads and probably also take some time to dine in their cafe.

How Was It First Time Flying?

In my 28 years, I can confess that I have never ridden a flying plane (The last one I boarded was just for field trip purposes). But that has ended with my recent trip to Davao, particularly Tagum City where I attended the Palarong Pambansa 2015. Since the trip would require air travel, knowing about my trip there made it very exciting as I can finally say that it will be my first airplane ride (and back).

It was with Cebu Pacific that I would make my maiden flight, and luckily their terminal is at NAIA Terminal 3 which has a better location and structure among the terminals in Metro Manila. Although, there has been improvements on the other terminal which I have to see and experience in the future. 

The Abundant Beauty of DavNor

Gaisano Mall of Tagum

I went on my first airplane trip and I went to Davao region for the Palarong Pambansa that will be hosted by Tagum City, Davao Del Norte. Davao Del Norte is one of the agricultural provinces in the country and it is known to be the Banana Capital of the Philippines. But aside from agricultural products, Davao Del Norte is a province blessed with mineral deposits, agricultural richness, and nature tourism spots.
