While my blockmates are having their rest day for it was Thursday, and we had no classes, I am having my 'field trip' (actually I just wanted to join my sister's field trip to accomplish something on that day).
We went first to the Manila Cathedral, where the seat of the bishop of the Diocese of Manila, Luis Antonio Tagle, is located.
We saw how grand and big the church was. You can actually feel the holiness of the ambiance of the place.
We had our orientation of the basilica, and we were shocked and amazed as to how the church was built. It was built for six times already, and guess what, they used egg whites to strengthen the posts of the last building!
I hope the egg whites are the answer to its foundations. Now that the Marikina Faultline is rumored to quake anytime soon.
It was also named after Mary, the Minor Basilica of the Immaculate Conception Manila Metropolitan Cathedral.
Outside is the European feel of the Intramuros.
Next was Myth of the Human Body that can be found in Boom na Boom Compound in Pasay.
Inside are real corpses arranged and designed scientifically to show the different systems inside our body.
It was a good thing to visit this place.
After seeing corpses and body parts, it was time then to eat! In a cone ice cream. At first it looks like an intestine with some sort of digested food inside. But no! It is vanilla in flavor.
Up next was the GSIS Museo ng Sining. Here you can find many artworks, be it abstract, etc.
The last place was my most awaited, the National Museum of the Philippines. I got no pictures for it is prohibited. Anyways, here I saw many artifacts of our culture. I also got to see the Spolarium. It was so enchanting and big! I was amused both to the work and the message behind it.
