OMJune! (June 2018 Monthly Journal) #NognogintheCityDiaries

I still cannot believe it! In this month, I bought a car! Weeks have past already but I still cannot believe I own one. It may sound a bit “mababaw” for some but I can’t help myself feeling proud of what I did. After years of hesitation, I finally did it. It was a really big decision (specially if it involves a huge amount of money) that somehow made me feel that I am moving up to the next level of life. Now, I got a new responsibility I need to deal with everyday. It may not be a brand new car but either way it is still something I finally own.

For the record, this month was the most costly month I had for this year already. OMJune it is!

Sometimes the problem with having a very nice ambiance and hotel accommodation is that it makes the person staying in the hotel too lazy to explore the city. I don’t know if it’s just me but this scenario is a thing that usually happen to me. Just like what I’ve felt when I first visited Azalea in Boracay.

Woke up early on our second day, I still wanted to stay in bed but I decided to get up for breakfast, off we go to Obama Restaurant. Before I what i’m having for breakfast let me show you first what happened in my room. Thanks for the photo Ruth!

Art moves people. It conveys different meaning to each person but still art gives people a different satisfaction. On my recent visit to Baguio City, I did not missed to visit one of the awesome museum in the country today – BenCab Museum.

BenCab or Benedicto Reyes Cabrera, is hailed as a master of contemporary Philippine art. His works has been exhibited widely in the Philippines and in Asia, Europe and the United States. He has won several major art awards in a career spanning four decades. Conferred as a National Artist for Visual Arts in 2006, BenCab now lives and works in Baguio City and one of the best way to get to know him is by seeing his work.
