Food, Culture, and Company: A Day Trip to Antipolo and Marikina

So we've been planning this road/food trip for the longest time and it finally happened. My girlfriends and I wanted some place near Manila so we agreed to pig out in Marikina. The museum visit was a spur-of-the-moment decision 'cos we've all been to Pinto Art Museum in Antipolo. Danie hasn't visited the place, though, so we included it in our itinerary.

To start our day off on the right foot, we had breakfast at Rustic Mornings by Isabelo located at Isabelo Mendoza Street in Brgy. San Roque, Marikina. I've been eyeing this all-day breakfast place for the longest time 'cos of it's shabby chic interiors and relaxing ambiance. Indeed, every corner is instagram-worthy.

Rustic Mornings by Isabelo is known for its all-day breakfast menu.

Art Appreciation Day at PINTO ART MUSEUM

I have a confession to make: museums are not my cup of tea. While others can construe an artwork as if it's their brainchild, I, on the other hand, would just see it as it is. Then I started seeing rave reviews about this museum in Antipolo which houses various contemporary art pieces, sculptures, and art installations from our local artists, the Pinto Art Museum.

Curious on what the hype is all about, I asked my boyfriend on an art appreciation date. Sleek, eh? Hehe. After a couple of cancelled trips due to bad weather, we finally got the chance to visit the much-hyped art space.
