Weekend Warriors

"I couldn't ask for a better place to be.."



The weekend before THE weekend. Woot!

Museum Visit.
Me and some of my Hum. II classmates (and blockmates as well) went to Met (The Metropolitan Museum of Manila) for a required gallery viewing. It was only my fourth time (?) to go to a museum. There were several exhibits there. Some of the Permanent Exhibits include The Classical Philippine Goldwork and Pottery (Basement) which features a lot of ancient Philippine accessories made of gold and ivory. On the other side of the basement are earthenwares made of clay. Changing exhibitions include HEROËS ANÓNIMOS OF A BRILLIANT STRUGGLE: Art Making and Art Makers at the U.P. School of Fine Arts (my favorite), WEN FANG: INSIDE THE SCHOLAR’S STUDIO (GEMS OF CHINESE CULTURAL ANTIQUITIES), and ENLIVENING THE PAST, SHAPING THE FUTURE: An Exhibit of Hau Chiok and His Students. We are asked after to write an art critic about one of the exhibitions and then choose one work of art (a painting) to evaluate in-depth. My personal bet is Augusto Fuster's "Interior de la Galeria Ongpin."

MOA_ing.
After lunch, friendly Fai and I headed to SM Mall of Asia to scout for our med. interview attires. Actually, Fai was more after MOA's Executive Optical to get herself a new lens for her glasses. We dropped by at TimeZone to have a glimpse of what's waiting for us there. DDR-Supernova 2 for 22 pesos each. Crap. We also visited Power Mac Store. I was hoping to see the new MacBook Air. But there wasn't any. Also, on our way home, Fai and I have discerned why The Mall of Asia is only 2 levels high. It's just common sense, really. =p Here's a hint: It has something to do with geography and the economy. MOA is the perfect representation. Lol.

Today.
I am about to satisfy my craving for reality shows. I am subscribed to 9 YouTube video uploaders, hoping to get updated as soon as new reality TV videos are available. And just now, new episodes of The Amazing Race Asia 2, Project Runway 4, and Survivor Micronesia are on queue! Yay.

What's going on in these shows:

Project Runway 4. It's down to 5 fashion designers. My personal bet is Rami Kashou. In this episode, the contestants will be having their last 'field trip.' Most of them feel nervous because the last time they had a field trip, they had to deal with female wrestlers of WWE (they had to design outfits fit for a wrestling match). I wonder what this last field trip is all about.. Also, Christian gets a little bitchy to Jillian in this episode.

Survivor Micronesia. Only the second episode of the new season which highlights the ultimate twist: "fans versus favorites". Ten die-hard Survivor fans up against Ten All-Star Survivor castaways of previous seasons. Last time, during the first Immunity Challenge, the fans beat the favorites, leading to Johnny Fairplay's eliminaton. Can the fans maintain their lead? Or was it just beginner's luck fueled with overflowing excitement? Take a look at what's up at episode 2:




The Amazing Race Asia 2. It's the Final Leg. It's a race between Marc and Rovilson (Philippines), Adrian and Colin (Singapore, I think), and Pamela and Vanessa (Malaysia). After retrieving their lead from Adrian and Colin, Marc and Rovilson are now holding up to that final Pit Stop. Go Team Philippines! I also love Pamella and Vanessa. They're hot.
