National Museum of Singapore

This is my 2nd post today, we're still on the last day of the year. Nothing much to do until fireworks at midnight, so I have time to blog. I am guessing I may even have more time for a 3rd or 4th story later!

So.., yes this is THE National Museum of Singapore, that I visited for a meeting this morning..,

Meeting at the museum? Yes and No! The 'no' means I did not have business discussions with anyone while touring the museum. The 'yes' is because my meeting was at a restaurant in this building. There is such a thing here yes, sosy pa! That's even my next blog entry, nagpaka-sosy tayo. So, abangan yan!

This is not a mural nor a painting. It's a projection screen na pagka-lapad-lapad. Ibang klase, di ba?

That lens-like circle on the map, in front of the two visitors.., gumagalaw at namamasyal yan! It moves around the map magnifying the areas it passes along. Like when you use a real lens on a printed map!

Oops, I won't regale you with what I saw or experienced at this wonderfully big museum, lest you lose interest going there. All I can say is: if you visited a year ago, be back and you won't be disappointed.

There are many new things to be amazed of and learn from in this museum. Well, if you haven't visited yet, go and find out. You will learn many things from the old 19kupungkupong to the hi-tech of today!

Have you heard about "The Story of the Forest"? Ah, a hi-tech walk, telling a heartwarming story..,

I won't tell you details, but mapapa-nganga ka! They even have an app you can use only while in there!

Don't hesitate to tell me if you visited the National Museum of Singapore, let's compare experiences! Later (when I'm home) I'll post some of the pictures and video clips I took while touring this museum.

Meanwhile, let's go to the restaurant I was (here) telling you about! Yung meeting ko!

In my next story.

THE BOULEVARD, Surigao City

Image
Virtually everyone in Surigao City is related to this boulevard directly or indirectly! It's such a big thing , they even have a Surigao City Boulevard Development Program and a Surigao City Development Authority . I'm not joking. Those are for real. As in! Involved in it are not only their local politicians but also the chambers of commerce. What is it anyway? Foremost it's a 1.8 kilometer stretch of a highway along the seafront. The concrete pavement tells me it is still new. That is it! Walang basagan ng trip! It is an emulation (kumbaga sa Tagalog pa: gaya-gaya ) of Roxas Boulevard in Manila, or pwede rin Dumaguete’s Rizal Boulevard - and many other seafront boulevards. Aside from being a “park” for the residents, it is supposed to be an attraction in the city, showcasing whatever bla-blah-blah to attract tourists from everywhere on earth. While I was inclined to raise my eyebrows, it did attract me. I was a tourist, right?! So okay, without a speck of d

Balantak Falls

I haven't heard about this waterfall until I was already moments away from being there! And I have no regrets whatsoever. Ah, sometimes, beautiful surprises do happen to my itchy feet. Sometimes haha! For me who had seen many a waterfall, this one would seem nothing to shout to the world about. But being there was mesmerizingly refreshing enough. How tall is it? I'm not sure, but see my habal-habal driver on lower ground and compare his height to that of the waterfall. You should get a hint, at least! Discovering Balantak Falls How I found-out about Balantak Falls ! I was in Brgy. Guirang (pronounced gi-rung) in Basey Samar, for another round of "work-related work"! While walking-around by the entrance to the barangay's main residential area, I happened to see this: A fairly new hut and open on all sides, so I asked them what it is. They said it's a waiting shed. I asked further 'who would wait here' since I knew there are no commuter jeeps in t

THE Ride from Tuguegarao to Sta. Ana

Image
Alrightee folks! I traveled from Tuguegarao to the northern-most town of Cagayan Valley, that is, Sta. Ana. And, Oh My Gee! I never expected this "mode" of transportation! It was a van, yes. The type and style that we call "UV Express" all over the country. But not the usual that I have seen, even in the more remote areas of the Visayas and Mindanao. This ride was on a piece of "flying junk" hahaha! It started like this... the night before I check-out at Hotel Roma, I asked the friendly front desk staff if there was a better way to go to Sta. Ana. than riding the bus. The very helpful suggestion was, I ride the vans instead of the bus, because, they are purportedly faster and more comfortable. Okay, I thought I would do just that. Staff even told me to remind them during check-out that I'm taking a UV Express commute to Sta. Ana. I did just that. The eager staff went out with me to front of the hotel. He hailed a trike for me and gave instructions t
