This sunset that I was mesmerized with, I will never see again. All sunsets are unique, just like all people are. Taking time to stop and appreciate sunsets is one way we can connect ourselves with nature and how everything, however magnificent, can only be admired and experienced fleetingly. We may be in the here and now but when we are just memories that linger in the hearts and minds of the people who love us and whom we have touched in special ways, these sunsets will still be here being admired by the next generation after ours.
Savor special moments that may be gone right before our eyes. Soak in the colors and sounds of these fleeting moments but have these etch in our memories for when the ability to experience these are gone, there are pockets of memories that we can still hold on to and remember with fondness.

The kids and I (minus the eldest who still has school) went to visit the Jorge B. Vargas Museum and Filipiniana Research Center yesterday at the University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City.

From the UP Shopping Center, we walked to the Vargas Museum, passing through the “woods” leading to the parking lot in front of the CAS.

On exhibit at the first level are terraforming artworks by Mark Valenzuela and Pablo Capati III. This exhibit will be up till April 30, 2015.

More about this exhibit here.

On the 3rd level are two exhibits: “The Triangle Man and the Flightless Diwata” by Kate Osias and artwork by Dex Fernandez.

“My Big Sister Can See Dragons” by Rocky Sanchez Tirona and artwork by Liza Flores.

There will be displayed till April 29, 2015.

Two books, each born from two different CANVAS competitions, and brought to life by the collaboration of two pairs of young Filipino writers and artists. Read more here.

The second floor is one where guests will be in awe. Paintings by the masters are on display, Felix R. Hidalgo, Juan Luna and Fernando Amorsolo among others. It feels like even talking in whispers is like a violation of the place where history comes alive via the strokes in the paintings.

Photos are not allowed. AND please, do not touch the paintings.

The kids asked that we rest for a bit before going home.

Who would have thought these beads for beading and accessory making will look good on a photo. I “staged” the green beads to make a number seven but I just drop the lace, button and lock without arranging these to make it look a bit random:
