NATIONAL MUSEUM OF THE PHILIPPINES

I decided to visit the National Museum, which is right at the heart of Manila. If you have the entire day to spend in central Manila, a side trip to the nearby Intramuros walled city sounds like a good plan as well. The National Museum is comprised of two separate buildings stationed along Padre Burgos Avenue, Manila.

A ticket to the museum is priced is FREE and you can have access to a collection of 1,000+ fine art pieces, stunning archaeological pieces, and over 300,000 specimens of natural history pieces!

It was my first time going here and I am fascinated. The National Museum serves as a repository of Philippine heritage through its historical and ancestral collections.

The National Museum was originally designed as the public library by Ralph Harrington Doane, which explains the elegantly-decorated hall upon entering the museum.  More than the art and the exhibits, I liked how grand and voguish the edifice of the museum is, which sets the mood with its well-appointed structure, and polished marble aisle and arches. Aside from that, there are a lot of Instagram-worthy spots in the museum as well so you may want to check those out! ?

I want to be with someone

I want to try with someone who loves me enough to try with me. I want to grow old looking at the same face every morning. I want to grow old looking at the same face every night at the dinner table. I want to be one of those old couples you see still holding hands and laughing after fifty years of marriage. That's what I want. I want to be someone's forever.
