Senyor y Yu
I visited the Yuchengco Museum when I was at RCBC Plaza along Ayala and Senato Gil Puyat corners in Makati Ciy, the Philippines. I was enthralled by the number of great masterpieces displayed prominently at the ground floor of the museum as well as those found on the different levels.
I tumbled upon Senyor Iskwater's blog when he wrote something about BFF qualities and I became a regular visitor of his home. He writes with much gusto and in the Filipino vernacular. There are times I have to read and re-read the posting up to three times since I just cannot get the meaning of words unfamiliar to me. Mind you, I have grown well in using the language when I started visiting blogs since early December.
My initial feeling about this writer is that he is very straight forward and finds himself challenging readers and other social figures as well. His topics are sometimes alien to me especially when it is about politics but I still give some time to read them, though I don't comment as much. He has a sense of humour that surfaces through the words and phrases he uses tickling the brains of his readers.
A man with a big heart, my short conversation with him during our meet gave me a new perspective on how I should be with my father. Coming from a man who have issues with his, he presented a viewpoint that I reflected within these few days. When one speaks from the heart, it touches even the inner core of my shelved feelings, thus the renewal. I thank Senyor for his wonderful sharing and camaraderie during my visit at RCBC.
Maraming salamat! It was an honour!

When we are in the company of great people we grow in all dimensions. Those people inspire, motivate, support and transform us.
It was a pleasure to read this all positive post.
Have a great day ahead !
I wrote this as a thank you note to all the bloggers who gave their time and stories to share during my short stay. Maybe next time I will be in Kerala to see you since I haven't been to India. Have a great day as well!
Than you for the great words!
How I wish I will meet Senyor too in the future.
Nice meeting you kuya, and kuya Asiong din.. :))) THANK YOU. It's an honour to meet someone like you.
anyway, i always see that museum but i never got a chance to go inside.
too bad when senyor texted me that day you met him i was almost home
Thanks for the visit!
Thank you as well Jessica for finding time to meet us. It was so much fun! I wish you all the best in your studies and painting esp. the latest one. Miss you and Asiong!
Hindi kasi mabenta sa Pinoy people ang museum. Even fine artworks are a rarity in households. Art or food, food or art...definitely food!
There will always be a next time but you were one of the very first I wanted to meet to say thank you for the visits for every post. So thank you for sharing your precious time to me and to other bloggers with your comments. God bless!
At talagang nakunan mo ang mga paintings ha. Passion mo kasi...
May kasalanan sakin yang si Senyor sa paf describe nya sakin to you = Nakasalamin LOL.
Ikaw naman ang next since sabi nga cute ka daw at mabait. Gusto kong makita kung tumpak ba ang mga descriptions, lol!
I know. Senyor was asking me to meet him for every comment he was posting so I gave myself a kick to finally say yes and glad I did! My next adventure will be our meet.
You are always welcome to Kerala, God's own country !
Best of luck !
..and those amazing masterpieces too!
kahanga-hangang mga likha... salute to those exceptional artists!
Yours is next with the salamin story. I am so excited when I wrote yours kasi I wanted it to be different. Abangan na lang!
I heard and read your blog meets with some of them and isn't it wonderful. And putting them in our blogs make it more exciting to reminisce thus the great memories.
Mas kahanga hanga are those people who shell out their money to preserve works of our national artists. The painters and artists are the national treasure of the country. Emulated and respected in other countries, they should be our role models as well.
til next time ha... Nice meeting to you!
Nag send ako ng e-mail sa iyo since I arrived pero walang reply so I was guessing you were busy. Anyway,madami pala kayong taga Makats so puwede kayong mag get together all the time.
Hello Rix,
Diyan ka rin! And kailangan palang may addresses at work places kayong lahat so that madaling i-contact per person. I hope to see you both Josh and Rix one day.
On senyor, of course I could, he likes being photographed :)
@ Ric - so lagi ba kayong nagkikita ni Josh?
@Pao - parang hindi yata kami nagtawanan. Sobrang serious usapan namin. Puro bukol nga ako paguwi, sa kababato niya ng wisdom...lol!
