I ❤️ South Korea - Trick Eye Museum - 04/22/2014


An Unforgettable Morning at the Trick Eye Museum
 
This is an unforgettable experience. The Trick Eye Museum, tucked away in a surprisingly quiet corner near Hongik University, was a delightful discovery. A short five-minute stroll from exit 9 of Hongik University station led us to this hidden gem. We arrived on a quiet morning, and to our delight, had the entire museum practically to ourselves!
 
What immediately captivated me wasn't even inside the museum, but the intriguing installation outside. A man, seemingly suspended in mid-air, with half his lower body dangling from the ceiling, greeted us. As a traveler, the sight sparked instant curiosity. What was the story behind this? How was it even possible? It was a perfect teaser for the wonders within.
 
This was my first experience with this kind of interactive art installation, and it blew me away. It's so different from the traditional, static art displays I'm used to. The Trick Eye Museum completely redefined what a museum could be—fun, engaging, and interactive. It's a far cry from those stuffy, old-fashioned art galleries.
 
The museum itself is a photographer's dream. Every corner is a meticulously crafted thematic scene, begging to be captured on camera. We spent a good chunk of our morning taking photos and videos, creating memories that will last a lifetime. And the best part? They even offered oil painting portraits! What a unique and wonderful souvenir to bring home.
 
The museum is clearly designed with kids in mind. The whimsical scenes and interactive elements would undoubtedly delight children of all ages. But even as an adult, I found myself completely charmed by the clever illusions and the way the museum played tricks on my eyes. It was a constant reminder that appearances can be deceiving, and that sometimes, the most fun is found in the unexpected.
 
Would I go back? Maybe. While the experience was undeniably enjoyable, the magic of that first visit, with the museum almost entirely to ourselves, is something hard to replicate. But I would definitely recommend the Trick Eye Museum to anyone looking for a unique and memorable experience. It's a fantastic way to spend a morning, unleash your inner child, and capture some truly amazing photos.

I ♥ Puting Buhangin Pagbilao - Quezon (2012) - 09/29/2012

Image
I always pray for good weather when planning an out-of-town trip, as a typhoon can easily disrupt carefully planned travels. Fortunately, when we visited Puting Buhangin in Pagbilao, Quezon, the weather remained clear. I had been longing to visit this place since last year, but unforeseen circumstances always led to cancellations. Growing up in Quezon province, I felt a deep connection to this destination and wanted to appreciate the beauty of my hometown.   Initially, I had planned a solo backpacking trip and shared my travel plans online out of excitement. That's when I received a message from Mac, who expressed curiosity about my travels. I proposed the idea of going together to Puting Buhangin to cut down on expenses. Without hesitation, Mac agreed to join me on this adventure.   On the day of the tour, heavy rain poured down, making me fear that the trip would once again be cancelled. I reached out to Mac via SMS to confirm if he still wanted to go. If he had changed his...

I ♥ PMA BAguio City 12/12/2010

Image
Philippine Military Academy (PMA) Baguio Philippine Military Academy (PMA) Baguio was the first tourist spot I visited in this humble city. I went there last 2008 with my college friends and I really enjoyed our short stay there. There is no restriction in visiting the area. However, due to its gaining popularity they implemented policies that may annoy some first time travelers.  All visitors entering PMA must have individual valid IDs. A person without a valid ID can't enter PMA. If you're in a group and you don't have ID, you will be instructed to get off the jeepney at the gate and wait for your companions with IDs while they're enjoying the tour. Also, wearing slippers is a big no-no when you wanted to enter its premises. Even though you are wearing your expensive flip-flops the security personnel won't show any mercy and you may be force to await your companion at the gate. They promote wearing shoes because people who wanted to visit the area shou...

I ♥ Pundaquit Zambales 03/27/2011

Image
Pundaquit Beach Zambales Pundaquit, or Pandakit is in San Antonio Zambales, a small fishing village on an attractive bay with a long white sand beach. It is a small barrio next to a glorious South China Sea and surrounded by paramount mountains. It is home to many fishermen as several boats lined their beach. The sun was glaring as I tried to take in the striking surroundings. The beach was very clean, unlike some of Subic's beaches I visited before.   I was really confused if Cove and Island is the same but according to my research A cove is a small type of bay or coastal inlet. Coves usually have narrow, restricted entrances, are often circular or oval, and are often situated within a larger bay. So definitely, we are not going to ride a boat just to get there.  It took us four hour of bumpy ride to finally reach Subic Olongapo and another hour to get to San Antonio Zambales with just 2 hours of slow traffic and the difference is our total travel time. We don't...
