YEXEL TOY MUSEUM, Las Pinas

We have seen and heard of this place across various social media as well as TV shows. Being young at heart, we wanted to check out this place. Toy collection definitely needs time, effort, patience and a simply the love for collecting, and this is what Yexel showed with his wide array of toys. Whether you are young or young at heart, a Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar or Japanese animation fan, this is a definite one place you need to drop by.

CORREGIDOR, A Historic Defense Monument

It has been a long time since I stepped out of my usual "places to go" routine. I decided to have this adventure to Corregidor with Sun Cruises. I decided to drag Riza along with this adventure as she gets to pay for the trip! This trips gives you that jump start to be proud for our ancestors who stood their ground and to be proud as a Filipino!

Hot...Humid...and Grateful

This is what me and a few hundreds more felt as we walked barefoot for a few hours in Greenbelt park (and around Greenbelt, which does not happen very often). The experience was something different. As you leave your comfy shoes or sandals and start to step on the pavement, you think "hey, its not so bad!". After a few minutes, you do realize, understand and appreciate the comfort of our footwear. After the event (a good 2 hours or so), my feet felt as if I had a foot spa. I did it for 2 hours. Just imagine how it felt for kids (and adults alike) who had to do this 24 hours in a day, 7 days a week?

WALKWAY : Reflections on the Station of the Cross

Happy Easter to everyone and happy 5 day holiday off to those who are enjoying it! (I'm one of those unfortunate ones who won't be enjoying the holiday off). During the Holy week, there are various activities as Filipinos that we do (pabasa, visita iglesia), however one activity that you should try (or should not miss) is the Church Simplified's "Walkway: Reflections on the Station of the Cross".

3RD PHILIPPINES INTERNATIONAL PYROMUSICAL 2012 - Philippines

This is the team that I have personally been waiting for the whole length of the competition. Despite not being part of this competition, this even makes it better as this guys lights up anything and everything it can possibly put fireworks on!

PHILIPPINE INTERNATIONAL PYROMUSICAL COMPETITION

The International Pyro Musical showcases the pyrotechnics prowess of each country, battling it out in different weeks. This event starts during the second week of February and ends on March, depending on the number of participants.

3RD PHILIPPINES INTERNATIONAL PYROMUSICAL COMPETITION - Italy

Italy is one of the few newbies in the competition. Unfortunately, the display during that night was plagued by  missed synchronizations and the area used was very limited (most of the fireworks were on the left side facing the barge--not sure if we can blame the wind here, I'm no pyrotechnics expert). Team Italy had a strong finish...wished they started the whole display with how they ended it. This pretty much left the crowd with the reaction "That was it?"

MIND MUSEUM, Taguig

The Mind Museum opened its doors on March 16, 2012 to the general public. Visitors has a maximum of three hours to explore the 5 galleries, namely the stories of the Universe, Earth, Life, Atom and Technology. Once you arrive, you will be greeted by Aedi, a robot built to introduce what to expect inside the museum. The volume is a bit faint (yet audible) when Aedi greets.
