Pinto Art Museum - Door to Art Heaven

Hi Everyone,

Pinto Art Museum captivated me effortlessly. The entrance fee of Php150.00 per person was so worth it. It housed a massive collection of paintings, sculptures and art installations. It was a visual feast for anyone who stepped into its doors. 
There was a little chapel near the entrance of the Museum. It was very simple. When I entered, it felt like it was only God and me there.
There was also a building dedicated for the indigenous art.
It was mostly oohs and aahs as we looked into one art creation after another.
The largest painting in the museum was "Karnabal". I had a hard time fitting this painting in the camera.
We almost missed this wing (because we did not make use of the map that was given to us). Good thing, Mama Dolly roamed around the area while Daddy and I were resting. 
This was my favorite section of the gallery because the paintings here are more modern, "funkier"; there was a happier less serious tone. 

This was my inspiration why I wanted to visit the museum - to have my photo taken under this signage. :D Actually, I wanted to put Sofia under the signage, but she was busy playing with the other art works.:D
This was one of my favorite paintings. It reminded me of my childhood. If kids were to be painted now, they would be holding tablets, phones and other gadgets.
This was Sofia's and my favorite spot- The Forest. The place was dark, dimly lit by the lights beside the "well". The sound of trickling water was very relaxing; good for meditation.
Even the restrooms had an artsy vibe to them. (And are very clean... with tissue paper...)
I've seen this painting before. I just can't remember where. I felt sad when I saw this. I hope I won't be alone in my decrepit years.
I definitely will go back to Pinto Art Museum (if someone will be willing to drive me there). The art collections and the refreshing scenery made the trip worthwhile. I could stay there and look at paintings over and over again or even relax in one of its cozy areas.
Live, Love, Laugh with Family!

Welcome Back, Daddy!

First time ng mga bagets na magsundo sa Daddy nila sa airport. Kahit two hours na delayed yung flight, hindi nawala excitement nila.  Buti na lang may Lego blocks sa Terminal 3. They were kept occupied during the long wait.   Sayang, di ko na sila napicture-an nung dumating si Daddy kasi pati ako naoverjoyed. :D:D:D

In Summer! Volets Hotel and Resort

Image
Hi Everyone, "Of relaxing in the summer sun, just lettin' off steam." -Olaf Sun-kissed skin. Upbeat music. Peals of laughter. A perfect summer getaway. It is my first time to visit Volets, and it did not dissapoint. Volets is a perfect swimming venue for kids and kids-at-heart (and for people who do not know how to swim like me. Learning to swim remains in my bucket list. Maybe I'll learn with Sofia. :D). There's the wave pool, the Olympic size pool, 2 kiddie pool areas, lazy river for the kids and lazy river for the adults. There's no way you can get bored, because there are many pools to switch to, and each one is different from the other. What I liked about the place are the shallow pools. I was not in constant fear for the safety of the kids. I was also able to enjoy being in the water, especially the lazy river and the falling water from the huge bucket.

DIY: Yakimix-Inspired Dinner

Image
Hi Everyone, My brother- and sister-in-law spent the weekend at our home. When Barezas get together, the unconventional things are expected to happen. :) Our family and in-laws love food. And because of this relationship with good food and love for unconventional things, our idea bulb just lit up. Presenting... our very own version of Yakimix! We took out our electric stove, put our non-stick grill pan on top, spread some oil, brought out the food for grilling... and voila!  It just cost us Php600. We had marinated chicken, marinated pork, shrimp, squid and hotdogs. It fed 5 hungry grown-ups and 3 kids. Not bad. And we had fun! This is a unique dining experience at home. Everyone can't wait to take their turn in grilling their food. We need a bigger pan. When you do this, just make sure you have a fan pointed an at open window to serve as your exhaust. It's expected to get smoke-y, and oh-so-yummy smelling. We certainly will do this again next time.  Live,...
