A trip to the National Museum of Fine Arts
I had my spontaneous trip one day, I visited the National Museum of fine arts. Upon entering you have to leave your bag and take only your valuables with you. A lot of couples and families take a trip here, nevertheless, it wasn't crowded considering this place is huge!
Admission is free
The place is open from Tuesdays to Sundays, from 10am to 5pm
The oh-so-famous Spolarium. You'd be surprised by the size of this painting. his place is perfect if you want to enjoy art or practice your photography skills.

It was a year of hard work, months of preparation, weeks of contemplation, only to reach a point of standing where you vow to have never stood again. You said you just wanted closure, but in your heart, you know that that's not just what you want. You want an explanation. An explanation for everything that leads you on. You want justice for the actions taken, for the heart that is broken, and for the love that is forgotten.It was like coming at a door but not being able to knock. It all seemed irrelevant once you're in that situation. You just want to know, you keep telling yourself. But that's not how it goes. That one knock, that one sound, at the very moment will determine your faith, you could either make it or break it. A year of hard work, months of preparation and weeks of contemplation have all lead to nothing. Maybe not nothing, but to wait. It's funny how you're in that place again because waiting is where you vow to never have stood again.
Boyiong's Cafe
Went to Boyiong's cafe after an hour of 'nga nga' in our quiz. Plus, our next class was at 6pm and there was nothing to do. So, we went to a cafe, this cafe was in Dapitan street. This cafe had milkshakes, silog meals, and snacks like nachos. What made them different from other cafes was that they provide board games that are perfect for killing time.
Boyiong's menu
The place was nothing fancy but is really adorable.
Dreamcatchers! Those who know me know that I am very fond of dreamcatchers.
How the Boyiong's menu board looks like. The food was very affordable, the snacks cost 50-70 pesos only. Their milkshake was around 70 pesos, they even have a HawHaw flavor that they say only 90s kids know.

Went here with Keezhia, Eileen, and G. You can really see their personality from this picture. Eileen was the competitive girl who is very fond of board games, but mind you she's really good at it. Keezhia was the strategic one, look at how she looks at the game. G was the newbie, haha, but he was a fast learner he defeated me in monopoly, aww!
Our first game was Uno Stacks, we didn't really know how to play it, so we played it like the Jenga way. It was chaos when it fell down we had to catch every piece since we were playing it on a small table.
Winners: Keezhia, Kim, and Eileen
Loser: G
Next, we played monopoly for an hour. I was the third person to take a turn, and unfortunately, I always landed at income tax, owned properties, and a lot of things that need payment. Broke in real life, broke in monopoly. Life, please be fair.
My 3 properties, my token, and my 750 or so money.
Winner: Eileen, then Keezh, then G
Loser: Me :(
Last was wordplay, it was really hard! I've always played scrabble on my phone, but the real one is really different. No lucky guesses provided 2-word dictionaries or an auto shuffle. Keezhia was good at playing scrabble she got the high scores, Eileen likes to block our every move and every triple word score, sayang! G was really funny, he placed a peculiar word on the board and even gave its definition. We were so amazed but turns out he was looking at a dictionary, but we all were. That's how we got the words Xenia, moho, dater, azole, and G's winning word Cyme. What does that even mean?
Winner: Kim then Keezh then Eileen
Loser: G
This place is great for killing time and is really affordable. This was my first time going to a board games cafe, and I'd like to try more!

Day 3
This is what the girls' dorm looks like. Us, 5D girls stayed here with the 5C girls. Let's do the math, 15 girls, 2 shower rooms, 8:30am sessions. Had to wake up at 5/6 am just to take a shower and make it to the sessions, hassle!
The room where sessions were held
8:30 am session, but like what I've said 15 girls, 2 shower rooms, we made it at 9:30 or so.
After the session, we decided to have an adventure, climb up a hill and get to a church. Not really the best with cardio, I was frantically gasping for air when I reached the top!
We had to take pictures, we just hiked a hill!
One of the attractions of the place, the hanging bridge.
This wall is just perfect for blogger poses, we each had our share in this wall. First up is the photographer, Keezhia.
The artist, G.
The blogger, me.
Retreat letters! The D form is ours, section 5D. This is one of the highlights of the whole stay, being able to receive letters from friends, expressing their inner most feelings about you. It will just melt your heart!
We each had our own prayer warrior. Mine was my Embedded pillar, Gaymar Gaytano. He has to pray for me so I can pass the board exam.
I'm Eileen's prayer warrior. Regardless of whether I pray or not, for her, she'll pass the board exam. I know it, everyone does.

About to leave Caleruega
You'd really know if someone is from Manila. Look at how much pasalubong she bought, even if Batangas was only 2 hrs away, it was really funny.
This 3-day escape was one of the best and indeed much needed. It certainly brought us closer and open to one another. In the near future, I hope to come back to this place and reminisce every memory. I'd surely miss it.
