Litratong Pinoy: Eksayted (excited)

Halos halikan ko ang sahig ng Louvre Museum no'ng una akong pumasok rito. Hindi ako makapaniwala na mabibisita ko ang pamosong museum na ito sa Paris at makakaharap sa tunay na buhay ang mga obra na nakikita ko lang dati sa mga libro. Lalo na ang sikat na larawan ni Mona Lisa na iginuhit ni Leonardo da Vinci noong 16th century. Sa aking eksaytment, naiwan ko sa tren ang aking nabiling sapatos (huhuhu!).

Louvre Museum, Paris

I almost kissed the floor of the Louvre Museum the first time I set foot in its lobby. I could never believe that I was actually visiting the world-famous museum in Paris, and that I'd be able to see, face to face, the works of art that I only saw in books---especially the famous Mona Lisa, a portrait painted by Leonardo da Vinci in the 16th century. In my excitement, I left behind in the train a pair of shoes that I just bought.

  6. nakarating ako sa louvre nung gagawin pa nila itong pyramid ni Pe (ba ang pangalan niya?) pero i went back there about 2 times kasi gusto ko talagang maabot pati yung mga annexes. kasama ko yung nanay ko kaya mahina siya sa lakaran. After my stint up north sa france, bumalik na naman ako just to got to the Orangerie... ewan ko pero connected pa yata ito sa louvre! hilo! but loved it!!

  12. Sobrang aliw din kami nang mapadpad sa Louvre pero medyo nagulat kami na maliit lang pala talaga ang larawan ng Mona Lisa. Ka-excite nga talaga! :)

    PS Sayang naman ang sapatos!

  15. I'll be honest with all of you, the first time I went to the Louvre Museum I forgo lunch because I wanted to see the world famous Mona Lisa....it was a letdown for me dahil hindi ako napaihi ng makita ko yung painting LOL.

    Maybe I am just a moron unable to appreciate the significance of everything historically, socially and culturally unique and significant around me.

  16. LOL bertn, i wanted to write about my disappointment when i saw the Mona Lisa, but I didn't want to spoil it to those who haven't seen it yet face to face. i agree with you...hindi rin ako naihi e(hahaha)...i even wondered what the fuss is all about!:D

  26. naku,bernadette, i can only imagine what your mom went through walking in the Louvre. kahit gusto pa nya maglakad, di nya na kaya. i almost gave up when my talampakan started to bleed, but it was a personal challenge (hehe). Ieoh Ming Pei is the architect of the louvre pyramid.
