Yuchengco building is the face of new La Salle. Two buildings from the remote edifice of planet Gox, we passed two mountains.
We arrived at the bustling lobby of our destination. It is “downtown” La Salle. There were people engaging in price canvassing. We were lucky enough to have the best transaction of them all – a raffle. Exhibits flooded the focal point of the joint. Cell phones, laptops and cameras caught our eyes. Like a market was Yuchengco lobby. It was like Divisoria.
With all those gadgets flying in the atmosphere, there was a picture. Its location was diagonal to the comfort rooms. I know many people do not notice it. It was the portrait of Jesus, reminding us that we are in the most holy presence of God.
After visiting “downtown” La Salle, we found ourselves in uptown La Salle. It is amazing to find both “uptown” and “downtown” La Salle in one Yuchengco. Truly, Yuchengco is La Salle’s capital.
An elegant stairs welcomed us. It had no red carpet or flowers thrown over our heads. Instead, it drizzled. A sign it was that God is blessing our alma mater.
A glass door opened and the air-conditioner’s wind came gushing toward us. Inside the museum, we saw paintings of tops by an artist named Modesto. Also collected were paintings by Castillo.
A sculpture caught my attention. A brass man and woman were dancing. The sensuality of the masterpiece made it a center of attraction. What was outstanding about it is that it tells something about humanity.
A portion of the museum was dedicated for cute paintings. They were cute because they were small and large frames covered them. Many paintings were exhibited but I will not mention them all. Hanging on the wall was a painting of a red fetus. Another painting tells about patriotism and nationality. It was the Philippine flag.
Time was running out. The last thing we saw was a chess set. The pieces were made of shells.
Our journey into our own culture gave us fulfillment. We were tired however. But I think our efforts were worth it. After all, we were team number two!
