Let us know if you did post your full name. If you did, the receptionist will be enlightened and you can claim your tickets. Then Jaime Augusto and Fernando Zobel will appear to give you a guided tour and buy you martinis at M Cafe. Actually they won't, but you can get your tickets. And if this happened months ago, why have you taken so long to report it. ranranranran: If you or your friend won museum tickets in one of our contests and YOU POSTED YOUR FULL NAME as requested, you should’ve been able to claim your tickets.

Everyone from our group was agog because the Monet Exhibit was on. Well, almost everyone. My family was the exception. We were more interested in having pizza at the courtyard. We spent the entire afternoon there waiting for the other members of the group to finish. The last time I was at a museum was 11 years ago at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.

It was Easter Sunday, entrance was free. Due to our very tight schedule, my friend and I had only about an hour. With single-minded determination, we zeroed-in on Guernica. Damned if we would leave Madrid without seeing it. So there I was, squeezed in among what seemed like a million tourists, mouth agape before Picasso's masterpiece, just a few precious minutes before closing time.

In the process, I ditched all the other objects of arts inside the Louvre because I had only Mona Lisa in my mind. I was so disappointed because the most popular painting of the expansive museum is a a small- framed drawing of a smiling woman. And I could not get near because there seemed to be a Korean invasion in that section of Louvre. Thereafter, I ran out only to realize that the sun was still far from setting. It was in the month of May and unlike in our country, sun sets at around 8 pm in France. It's a good thing though because I discovered the Bir-Hakim Metro station. If you watched Last Tango in Paris, Bertolucci shot some scenes in this place.

That was when my friends and I went to the National Museum for our Spanish class. Our teacher was asking us for souvenir or proof that we were there, and I wasn't listening when he said that asking the frontdesk to sign our form is okay. So I asked my friends to take photos (which was obviously prohibited) of the artifacts and after a couple of photos, someone saw my friends and gave a hefty lecture on museum policies. We swore the Spanish artifacts there that we won't do it again. Ever.

I don't remember what I was looking at, just that they were beautiful and that I was frantic because I didn't know what to write (I liked Math 55 better - no essays). Buti na lang pumasa ako.

That was at the National Museum of the Philippines. I had a video class assignment wherein I had to take camera angle shots of a historical place. So, I went inside to inquire in their office for a permission to shoot. Walking in the hallways, I was curious to where the exhibits where because it was awfully quiet and I didn't see any doors leading to an exhibit anywhere around. I promised myself to look for the exhibits once I finish my assignment. Aftr 1 hour, I was granted permission to shoot. I stood outside and started mounting my camera when two security guards approached me and tried to confiscate my video cam. (the horror) I tried explaining that I had a permission but when they called the main office they said the head director wasn't around, leaving the guards to think I was lying to them. The security guards tried to confiscate my cam. At first they were polite but after I repeatedly decline to surrender my cam they became demanding. I got so pissed off that I shoved one of the guards hard. (why are thet trying to confiscate it?! I haven't even started shooting yet! And they are harrassing a 18 yr old girl! Grr!) the guards went speechless from what I did. Then with a huff, I stomped away from them. When I got home, I got sad when remembered that I wasn't able to see the exhibits in the museum.

He apologized and I thought his voice sounded familiar. He just as quickly took off before I could say anything or take a good look at him. I looked at the picture on the LCD. It was Isaac Mizrahi. LOL. I still have the strange picture somewhere in my hard drive. I was at the Met and some guy in a hurry came rushing in front of me while I was taking a picture.
