Day 6

12 December 2008

I'm typing this post from my room, courtesy of the wireless router I set up today at my aunt's house in Blue Ridge. I never thought I was much of a technical wizard, but I surprised myself by being able to get it working. Living with Toby must be rubbing off on me now. The tech support part, that is. :)

We visited the Lopez museum and saw paintings by the great Filipino master, Felix Hidalgo. We also toured an art exhibit called "Keeping the Faith," which was a reflection of the political hardships and struggles of the Filipino people. I think we'll try to visit the National Art Museum at some point during this trip and try to see paintings by Juan Luna and Jose Rizal.

Next, we walked to the Mega Mall and had lunch at Goldilocks cafe and bakery. This is the second time we've been to a really big mall this week and I think I'm going to need to wear more sturdy shoes if we're going to do more shopping. I thought the SM Marikina was big... you could easily fit 10 of those malls in the MegaMall. Yikes. The crazy thing is, we were there at around 2:30pm and the place was PACKED. Don't these people have to work?

Oh, one more thing. It rained today and guess who didn't have an umbrella.
