“Pint-sized dreamer” from Metro Manila. That’s how celarban describes herself. Nope, she’s not in that astronaut suit, a cool item in display at the Mind Museum. She’s celarban, a lady with a self-confessed hang-over from the movie Interstellar and a dream to escape to the stars with “you” — whoever that special someone is (or will be). Anyway, we’ve been to the Mind Museum a couple of times and we won’t mind coming back for more. It’s a destination that we highly recommend for kids and adults alike (but school children will enjoy this more). One day is really not enough to fully explore and enjoy the entire museum. We’ve seen the astronaut display and the outer space section. We have photos of each, but we never, ever figured out taking a photo of the astronaut with the stars on the ceiling, like what celarban did. For that sharp eye alone, she deserves to be featured. It looks amazing! Here’s the photo (click photo to enlarge): Continue reading Photo of the Day: Astronaut On Duty

Revisiting Museo Pambata (Manila City)
The world is confusing, no doubt about it. Sometimes we want places to stay the same. Other times we want something new in the places that we visit again. The first time we visited Museo Pambata, the kids had fun. A couple of visits to this kid-friendly establishment in Manila City, it stayed the same. That’s why we were pleasantly surprised to see new additions when we revisited the Museong Pambata over the long holy week weekend. Continue reading Revisiting Museo Pambata (Manila City)
The Philippine Tyrannosaurus Rex
We’re not implying that there’s a species of Tyrannosaurus rex, also called the T. Rex, that was discovered in the Philippines. Well, none yet. We don’t know for sure. Maybe there’s a fossil buried in your backyard. Try searching for it. But just in case you want to see a T.Rex fossil but can’t find any, try going to The Mind Museum. There’s a full-size T-Rex fossil in display in this world-class science museum. Continue reading The Philippine Tyrannosaurus Rex
First Car on Philippine Roads
Quick! Here’s a trivia. What’s the very first car that set foot, er, tires on Philippine soil? No, it’s not the Ford Model T. Before we proceed to reveal the answer, and we’d like to assume for our amusement that you don’t know, here’s how that car looks like: Continue reading First Car on Philippine Roads
Feed your Brain at The Mind Museum
A museum, for you, evokes what kind of images and what kind of emotions? Allow us to start off with the following guesses. A museum is a place where really old artifacts are kept and displayed. It’s a place where you can only view these artifacts, cordoned or sealed for protection, from a distance. It’s a boring place, except to those who have a deep love for the subject (or pretend to do so). These things may true of other museums, but definitely not The Mind Museum.
