We had lunch buffet the other day and aside from these, I had seafood and mostly plant-based food. It was difficult but I managed to not get those creamy cupcakes and chocolate tarts for dessert and instead got fruit slices.
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.
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.

Jorge B. Vargas Museum is located at the University of the Philippines in Diliman. Entrance fee is Php30. As with all museums, this is closed every Monday.
We went to Commune Cafe last week for a press conference with media people so I wasn’t able to take good photos of my lovely coffee, the food I ate and other parts of the cafe.
I love its homey decors and the food they served. Coffee was good too and if it’s not too far and too traffic to go there, I would definitely be back. I hope they’ll have a new branch in QC.
Who doesn’t love watermelon?
What’s not to love? Watermelon has…
Watermelon is also fat-free, very low in sodium and has only 40 calories per cup.
We love the citrus juice from this tangy and super sour calamansi fruit.
We also love the citrus smell of the flowers that bloom. We got a plenty these days, thanks to the used coffee grounds I throw on the plants every morning.
