Fun trip to Mowelfund Museum

Mowelfund Museum

I get excited every time I hear the word trip to and museum. I don't usually go to those kind of places because I don't get the chance but hearing from my Cinema professor (Sir Ashley Jamal, you can see his blog at the right side on my blog roll) that we'll be having a trip at the same time we'll able to see the history of Philippine Cinema, I was really excited. I will be able to see the actresses and actors which my mom always tell me that Nora Aunor is really pretty so on and so forth.

Going there, last September 27, my blockmates and I at the same time with my professor. We went to see Mowelfund Museum.

I was late when we went there because I waited for my friend so we can go together. I thought it was really big place like a giant museum like I always imagine. The grounds was big but inside it was like a typical museum but it was really really nice because I saw and understand more what my professor taught us. 

When we got there, I was starstruck because I saw Miss Boots-Anson Roa, she was really really nice and way way beautiful. She has a really small face (hehe). She told some informations about the Philippine Cinema, about the museum, and since I was late I forgot if it is 50% or more earnings from the MMFF(Metro Manila Film Festival) goes to the museum for the maintenance.

When we first enter the museum we saw a small theater which I think not well-maintained. Then we saw the picture of the first cinema. I saw also Charlie Chaplin. He's really small(hehe). Since I'm into production which includes props, costumes, etc. I really really want to learn to do prosthetics make-up and I really really want famous actress or actors to wear my costumes. 

Since I'm addicted to films or tv series with zombies. Someday I hope that Philippine Cinema can achieve the real zombie-look just like in Resident Evil or tv series The Walking Dead.

Then I saw different picture of the actresses and actors before. 

Outside the museum there were a lot of life size standees of Kapuso artists because I didn't see artist from Kapamilya. Outside the museum, there was a pool which is not just well-maintained but not really maintained. I think it is use for like mermaid scenes (hehe) 

Overall, it was fun and I saw and learned a lot of things. Thanks to our professor for bringing us to Mowelfund Museum.
