Today is a boring day! Question is: "Anu ang magandang gawin kapag wala kang magawa?" Sagot: " Pinturahan ang buong bahay gamit ang cutix." Pero wala akong cutix. Hanap nalang ako ng ibang pag-didikkitahan. So, after washing my clothes, syempre isinampay ko muna, naligo ako, at nagbihis. Then, without itinerary, my initial plan was to visit all the museums in Metro Manila including, Ayala Museum in Makati City, Eh mahal ang entrance doon, so it ended up visiting Marikina Shoe Museum (with 50 pesos entrance) and the two buildings of the National Museum of the Philippines with FREE Admission. Libre, aarte kapa?? Tara na!!
