I shall not entirely die

Last Saturday, my sisters June and Mercy together with my niece Julie Ann and my friend Tito went to the Metropolitan Museum to see the Picasso Exhibit.  It was my first visit to the Met after a long, long time and I was very happy that I went. The Picasso exhibit was stupendous! It featured the Suite Vollard by Picasso which is a collection of 100 etchings using different techniques that were made in Paris from September 1930 to March 1937. How I wished more people could see the exhibit, especially youngsters. Well, there is still time as the exhibit will be on till January 7, 2012 at the Metropolitan Museum at the Banko Sentral ng Pilipinas complex along Roxas Blvd. Museum hours are from 9:00 a.m. till 6:00 pm Mondays to Saturdays. Entrance fee is P50.

Farther into the exhibit hall of the Met was a separate chamber that featured exhibits by Hidalgo and Juan Luna. A masthead designed by Juan Luna quoted these words by Horace: "Non Omnis Moriar"-- I shall not entirely die--which caught my attention and made me think. It is for this reason that I am once again starting a blog page so that a piece of me will live on even if I were to move on to the next level.

Non Omnis Moriar!
