Pyromusical Competition 2017 : People's Republic of China

SM Mall of Asia holds an annual Pyromusical Competition. It was privileged for this year as I witness this magical night. Thanks to my Cousins for a text away.

Initially, we brought tickets na Silver. Since as per the reviews kita namn daw. However when we are at the event, Puro puno lang ang makikita mo. So we decided to upgrade it to Gold Seaside. First time bes, gusto ko masulit yung Pyromusical.

I just regret every moment watching the show. Next time I will keep my fone and just enjoy the show. Please remember that this is a Pyromusical Show, Music is a big thing here if you want to appreciate the show. You can watch anywhere for free but each country has a story to tell.

For those who want to have a comfy and decent spot with food, you may avail for those resto who are in the bay area, veranda or ground floor.

The Mind Museum: Bonifacio Global City, Taguig

I was finally able to visit The Mind Museum after several years of attempt. Thanks to A Glass of the Sea and Ms. Erin Mercado for this wonderful opportunity and for the All Day Gift Pass worth P3000.00

Never in my wildest dream I will love science the way I used to. Until my life changing decision to take Biological Science as my course. Being science as one of the hindrance in fulfilling my life goals. Nevertheless, science is now my life, science is my passion and I'm so so proud to be one of the educators of this wonderful theories and concepts.

As, per the discussion of Ms. Mercado during our training in AGOS, The Mind Museum was a 1-Billion peso worth project of Bonifacio Art Foundation, Inc (BAFI), a non-profit organization. It was envision as a center of public understanding of science. It was truly a home for science.

The Mind Museum has it 5 galleries namely, ATOM Gallery, LIFE Gallery, EARTH Gallery, UNIVERSE Gallery and TECHNOLOGY Gallery.

Venice Grand Canal Mall, McKinley Hills, BGC Taguig

The newest mall in Bonifacio Global City is making noise all over the social media as it houses the the-so called famous replica of Venice Grand Canal in Italy.

The construction is not yet over, most of the stalls and restaurant are not yet open. However there are restaurants available in the area and the main attraction of the mall is already open even the Gandola Ride.

I've never been to any replica of Grand Canal. The Venetian Macao Mall in Macau (Hey! Never been out of the country!) Haha so when we heard that they built a replica here in the Philippines, without hesitation we visited the place right before the opening of classes starts.

A YEAR AFTER Mercy and Compassion:Papal Visit 2015

A year after the Papal Visit in the Philippines.

I was not given the opportunity to blog this a year ago because of the Practice Teaching right after the Papal Visit is our Final Demo in a public school.

Andame kong reasons! Disclaimer pa more sa bawat post.

Months before the scheduled Papal Visit, I already ask my cousins from Manila that I want to go to the Concluding Mass. I actually want to be there days before the Mass but I have my classes and nobody will take over if I will be absent (Konsensya ko pa pag may napahamak sa mga studyante ko) What more interesting is, the Mayor even suspend the classes for us to watch the mass of the pope.

They agreed. The fact that 20 years ago is the last Papal Visit is enough reason to go to the mass and brave the possible 6 million crowd.

Good thing that we have a car during the mass. I can still remember the long queue of people lining up in LRT stations an a lot of passengers waiting for a taxi.

-All for one destination, the concluding mass.

Since majority of the roads near Luneta are closed, we parked the car near the LRT station of Carriedo. So Yes, from Carreido, We walked going to Luneta. It was not tiring as our fellow countrymen are also walking from one destination to Luneta. I think we are very lucky that we got a spot in that parking lot.

We brought the gray-thing that usually see in Luneta. I just can't believe the purpose of that gray-thing the entire journey.

Iscreamist: Maginhawa Food Park 2015

This is crazy! Haha

If not only my fone will reach its storage capacity that will push me to delete some good old photos, Hindi ko maiboblog to! Haha

Months months ago, Last year to be specific. I and my cousins decided to have a food trip in Maginhawa Food Park in Quezon City after some personal errands in Manila. So from Morayta, we rida an UV express going to SM North and Trinoma. After some sort of window shopping in both malls, we decided to go after lunch time via taxi.

We are so excited to have some food trip in Maginhawa Food Park. We have our list of must do and must try in the queue of food stalls in the area.

Nobody from the blogs I read reminded me that the start of the Happy Hour of the Food Park is 5 in the afternoon. Sa madaling salita, Sarado pa ang lahat ng mga stalls ng 2:00pm. NKKLK! Excited pa man din kami for some Intagram-worthy na food trip.

Yexel's Toy Museum: Manila Ocean Park

A lot of things happened in me since the last time I posted here. I have all the excuses. Hihihi.

I graduated with the degree of Bachelor of  Secondary Education

Major in Biological Sciences.

Yehey! Student- No More.

HIRED! As a full time substitute faculty

In the same University where I graduated

Started my Review sessions every weekends

at Philippine Normal University

Para sa #LET2015

And a lot more plans in my career. I am considering moving to a public school like Ms. Blissfulguro or take MA Degree probably in a state university since I do not still have enough income. But one thing is for sure my TOP priority right now is to pass the LET 2015 (sana with flying colors!) Hahaha

Little then I knew that my travels plans were sacrifice. First time in my entire life I cancelled a trip which is supposed to be a solo escapade in Panay Island to try the Kawa hot bath in Aklan, Visit Bakhawan Eco Park and even having my first glimpse of the island of Boracay. Cancelled Everything!! Argggghhh. It's because of No work, No pay policy of our school (Nag piso fare pa ako kung libo-libo naman ang kaltas!) and my review sessions. I can't sacrifice review!

That is so heartbreaking. </3

One afternoon, after our review Karen, one of the KaBio ask me if I can take her to Rizal. Hindi pa daw niya nakikita si Rizal! So from PNU we walk and walk to Luneta(a place for jejemon daw) until we reach Rizal Monument and the so-called Pambansang Photo Bomber.

Disclaimer:

Btw, All the photos taken came from my Samsung Grand Duos. Don't expect for great pictures.

One sign lang daw para one take lang sa board exam. Hihihi

Karen: Bobo la talaga ding e byasang mamitsur

I appreciate the effort that the government did to make sure that it will not be a photo bomber by moving the picture taking spot so that in any direction torre will not be seen, but lets face the fact that Torre de manila really destroy this monument. Imagine Eiffel tower having a building like that. Let's give this challenged not just to the Manong photographer in Luneta but also to each and everyone to take that best photo. Like what karen told me, Its in the correct angle!

"Ka, Tara munta tamu Ocena Park. Dun sa museum ni Yexel."

That conversation make this accidental tour to Manila Ocean Park or to Yexel's Toy Museum.

I just want to express my extreme disappointment to the museum. Kasalanan ko rin siguro. Masyado ako nag expect sa museum. 

How much:

Well going there as a walk in guest is so expensive so I advice you visit Metrodeal.com they have deals that offer P99.00 for the museum.

Upon entering, you will be greeted by these life size minions! Akala ko, wala gaano tao.

Next spot is the baligtad-thingy na super genius ng nakaisip nito.

We opted to give chances to others and take to other part. Balikan na lang nmn. After an hour,

Yan lang ang maayos kong pic! It was so disappointing. Buti pa sa other spot may pila. I could still remember the time na nagpapapic ako to get the whole view then suddenly people will go inside and take their photos. Hello! I waited for so long to have this chance to take my pic! Why dont you wait for your time. Wala na akong nagawa. Sa sobrang inis ko, we left this spot and yun na they all have different business. Pic dito pic dun. Pasok lang ng pasok kahit may nagpapapic. Haaaaay Pinoy nga naman.

Next is Spiderman.

The museum continues and another word na sayang,

What's wrong in the picture? This is supposed to be another picture taking spot. But what happened is, Naging pahingahan na lang to, Those seats were not intended for resting purposes. Kakainis lang. Management were not doing something sa mga cases na ganito.

Is it part of your museum is to view how dirty the Manila Bay is? I know the view of the city is an added factor but the view of the ocean is very unforgivable.

Honestly, I did not enjoy the Museum. Mukha lang! deep inside naiinis ako. Let's look the other bright side of things. Feel na lang ang museum.

Hopefully my next post is Malapascua 2015 or Batangas 2015.

With love,

Andrew Feliciano
