After the whirlwind of getting ready, we finally made our way to the museum. Ang daming tao as expected, pero iba talaga ang vibe ng lugar, lalo na pag 'ber-months na. Lahat excited at parang may magic sa hangin.



"Ang daming tao, jusko," Sheena exclaimed as we squeezed through the entrance. "Parang sardinas!"



"Nasa labas pa lang tayo, anong sardinas?" Stacey quipped, rolling her eyes. We laughed as we shuffled our way inside, trying not to get swept away by the crowd.



We finally made it through the entrance, and the grand hall of the museum was even more breathtaking than I remembered. Grand chandeliers hung from the ceiling, illuminating the room with a warm glow that bounced off the marble floors. Artifacts from different eras and various exhibits were displayed all around, capturing the history of the royal family and the country's heritage.



"Grabe, sobrang ganda talaga dito," Maloi said, pulling out her phone to take pictures. "Para tayong pumasok sa ibang mundo."



Sheena and Stacey were already busy posing for photos, making sure to capture the right angles for their Instagram feeds. Meanwhile, I took my time wandering around, letting my eyes take in the beauty of the place. Every corner was meticulously designed, every piece of art carefully curated to tell a story.



I couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia. Growing up, I always dreamed of having a life filled with adventure and stories like the ones displayed here. But then again, reality had a funny way of steering you down a completely different path.



As we walked further into the museum, my phone buzzed. Heather had replied.

Heather's response brought a smile to my face. Though we hadn't met in person yet, our connection felt real and comforting. There was something about her that made me feel at ease, maybe because we've been friends for 5 years now.
