We had an oral examination in oral communication instead of having a written test.

The task given to us is ti make  present a spoken poetry.

It's just like a poem recital but it's somehow different.

My piece is about a girl who's living in a world full of misery.

So I had this make up and some face paint on my face to show my tears and to make it more realistic.

But then, it turned out to be more creepy.Almost all of our make ups are like that.

 So I cane up to an idea to put this all together and make a blogspot about it.

Oh, take note this is my first ever Halloween post. Yey!

Finally! Reunited with my girls. It's been a while since I last spent time with them because I'm really busy. And that's also the reason for the slow updates. 

As long as I finish the upcoming exams, I'll be updating and posting more posts! 

Please bare with my busy schedule. 

Anyways, Good Luck to everyone who'll be taking their exams! God Bless!

So I don't really know how my teacher came up with the idea of going to the National Museum. I don't know how it is connected to our lesson. Maybe I wasn't listening that time. But I guess it's somehow connected with a concept paper.

This really is my first time to visit The National Museum even though we often pass.

The National Museum of the Philippines (Filipino: Pambansang Museo ng Pilipinas) is a government institution in the Philippines and serves as an educational, scientific and cultural institution in preserving the various permanent national collections featuring the ethnographic, anthropological, archaeological and visual artistry of the Philippines. Since 1998, the National Museum has been the regulatory and enforcement agency of the National Government in the restoring and safeguarding of important cultural properties, sites and reservations throughout the Philippines. (Wikipedia)

The museum has 2 buildings. The museum is divided into 4 branches. Fine Arts, Anthropology, Natural History and Planetarium. But we only visited the Fine Arts and Anthropolgy Sections. 

At the 1st building that we entered, it consisted of different paintings, and sculptures made by different artists. 

 

The first painting that welcomed us is the Spoliarium.

 

Since I was a kid I 've known this painting but I didn't expected it to be that big! I feel fascinated on how they manage to preserve this painting that existed hundred of years ago.

The second building consisted of the National Treasures. And when I say treasure, it doesn't really mean that it's gold or whatsoever. The treasure I'm talking about are the things that's really valuable for our country. The things that have been part of our history.
