Two weeks ago, my family and I went to Malacañang for reasons I have no knowledge of. I guess it was a perfect opportunity for me to explore Manila little by little since I'm starting college in a few month's time and my school is just around this area--a little familiarity with the place won't hurt. And it was fun, I felt like a real tourist hehe. Anyhoo look at the photos!!!
The entrance of the museum looks really pretty oooo
This room used to be the main room(?) and it was my favorite because look at the chandelier:
I LOVE CHANDELIERS LOOK HOW PRETTY IT IS
I could've taken a better photo if not for the iphone camera I was using SIGH. This mirror looks so pretty, I wanna take it home with me.
ANOTHER CHANDELIER HELLO
Favorite part of the tour!!! Look how big the room is, you could run and skip around. In fact I kept running around like a child because I was having the time of my life and I can't help but admire the hall. They said this used to be an office, then an evacuation area for typhoon victims, then a ballroom. The Marcoses would host parties and fancy dinners here. The thought of old-fashioned soirèe and those dresses come to mind once you enter this room. (I have a feeling it's just me D:)
He looks like my schoolmate, I swear I freaked out when I saw this. Turns out he's related to him! He was the Vice President of the Philippines.
This is where all campaign paraphernalia and pictures are store. If you look closely, you can see two vinyls. These vinyls hold campaign jingles from the 70s-80s(?) and I am appalled because wow CAMPAIGN JINGLES? ON VINYLS? HAHA?
I worship the National Treasure movies. If you've seen the movies then I guess you'd get the significance of this table despite the absence of the bald eagle and those little details. But this table reminds me so much of that table from the oval office wherein they got this very important clue and all those numbers and AHH I LOVE THIS TABLE. So I looked around the table for mysterious numbers and secret compartments; unfortunately there were none and I am very sad.
The table used for the proclamation of Martial Law.
Fancy china used for this particular luncheon last 2012.
Room of the First Ladies of the Philippines.
Pope John Paul II's name at the very top of the list!
This is where all announcements/press things are done!!! Nice room. (Malamig kasi kaya nice hehe.)
LOL HI PEOPLE IT'S ME AHA
I'm so looking forward to my next adventure in Manila because to be honest, Manila is a very lovely place. Yes, I am also talking about the dank, dirty corners. This place is very lovely despite the fact that I hate our president ;;;))))
Also I'm sorry for not posting enough stuff I know I'm intolerable but I just reached my next thousand pageviews and OMG I LOVE YOU ALL.
