This morning I received an invitation for an art exhibit of my friend. It will be an exhibit that will feature his great paintings, poetries and other art composition. I was surprised that he turned out to become a very successful person of the art. When we were still in college, he always rant about being force to enter the course by his parents. He said he really wanted to take fine arts, but cannot afford to defy his parents will. But who cares now, even if he did not achieved the degree, he still became a very famous modern artist. Another friend of ours was also invited, and we decided that we will go there together. We will sleep on their house in Makati City and the next day, we will tour Manila. It undeniable that for the past 3 years, Manila had undergone a very huge renovation and the results are just spectacular.
Our first planned destination for that day will start at 9 am with the opening of Mall Of Asia to buy something for the long road ahead of our journey. The next destination is to visit the Metropolitan Museum of Manila or commonly known as Ang Museo ng Bangko Sentral (Museum of the Central Bank) because the museum building is inside the Central Bank compound. After visiting the museum, we will walk our way to the Luneta Park, a very common park in Manila, I believe it is also the biggest open park in the country. It is also the place where the monument of the national hero Jose Rizal is located. We are also planning to witness the globally known Manila Bay sunset, considered as one of the greatest sunset in the world. The Manila Bay, just a few blocks away from the Manila Yacht Club, is also a few walks away from the Philippine Navy headquarters where there is also a museum of naval vehicles.
After that, we plan to visit the Cultural Center of the Philippines to see a show that will end around 7pm. Just beside CCP is the Star City, a small theme park but has world class rides and amenities. Really, Manila has turned into a giant city for recreation where recreation facilities are always close to each other and you don't have to travel anymore.
