too bad they didnt allow me to get some pics inside...

[Wonderboy]

I would like to add Escolta Museum located at Cavlo Building, Escolta Manila. Visit to the museum is by appointment only. Call (02) 2414572 for more information.

[Lili]

I'll add that in the list. I have to edit that it to make it more readable. I wish it was geographically listed rather than alphabetically listed.

are you talking about the Dutch artist here, Mat? I think he's mane is Piet ... he's more of an abstract painter or artist, I guess. I'm not so sure. But if he's the one you're referring with, then probably yes. But Museo Iloilo is never been a Mondrian-inspired at all. Well ... well ... well.

The artwork's color scheme on that front panel just reminded me of a Mondrian-esque look, that's all.

[Matteo]

bye the way, is that a cannon on the lower right hand side of the photo?

[wecky]

well probably is, Mat ... hmmm ... I'm thinking that the recent Museo Iloilo's facade colours are inspired by Nikkei-Jins artistry ... you know? Japanese loves to play with colurs and everything there is.

Anyway, do you like paintings and art as well? Somehow, some of them fascinates me. Moreso when I visited art galleries in Italy. Absolutely great! On how do I know some of them? My priest friend always toured me around ... hehehe .. i have a walking tourist-guide all the time ... hehehe.

yes .. it's an old cannon, indeed. I don't know on which previous wars it was used .. probably WWII ... WWI is too far to have a cannon like that (just joking).

Death inside the Cemetery

Eversince I started romping through her gravestones (morbid hobby I know!)I have often marvelled at this piece of mausoleum architecture at the Manila Chinese Cemetery. Now,I don't have much information about except that it belongs-according to the caretaker- to a matriach named Litai and that it was built in the 1920's.


Cemetery Musings

Ok, so it may not be everybody's ideal walking rendezvous but truth be told, I find cemeteries to be one of those eerily fascinating places to be. Let me cite the reasons:
