'The weak breeze whispers nothing The water screams sublime His feet shift, teeter-totter Deep breath, stand back, it’s time
Toes untouch the overpass Soon he’s water bound Eyes locked shut but peek to see The view from halfway down
A little wind, a summer sun A river rich and regal A flood of fond endorphins Brings a calm that knows no equal
You’re flying now You see things much more clear than from the ground It’s all okay, it would be Were you not now halfway down
Thrash to break from gravity What now could slow the drop All I’d give for toes to touch The safety back at top
But this is it, the deed is done Silence drowns the sound Before I leaped I should’ve seen The view from halfway down
I really should’ve thought about The view from halfway down I wish I could’ve known about The view from halfway down'

My Museums Trip (Philippine National Museums)
I still remember my experience before with my best internet friend, we visited the three museums in a day. The first museum that we looked around was the museum of fine arts. The most iconic art in this room was the Spoliarium painted by Juan Luna. It was so huge that it is impossible that you will not see it if you visit the building. We just walked around up to the top of the museum and gained some knowledge. I was so amazed because there was a gallery for different artists to show their unique arts.
The next museum that we explored was the national museum of anthropology. Here we saw different kinds of archeological exhibits and cultural art products of different regions in the Philippines. And then we get so tired walking and roaming the national museums, so we ate street foods outside the museum of anthropology and after my friend think of going home early because she lived in Bulacan. But I insisted that why not we just go to the last national museum in Manila which is the museum of natural history. She agreed.
Then we started walking and went to the said museum. This was my favorite museum among the three because of the iconic infrastructure that you can see when you go inside. I can’t help but to look up and admire how they made the design. It was the elevator of the building; it was amazing because the first building was at the top and the last was at the bottom. It was unexpected unlike the two museums. This museum was all about animals and the natural history of our country. Here you can see the body of Lolong, the largest crocodile in our history. Also, the green bone of the big dinosaur was located on the last floor of the museum.
So, if you would asked me if I enjoyed my experience and would go back to those museums, I would say yes. because it is not just, I will learn something about those work of art of those talented artists, it is about the memories I created with someone I can go to museums.
