Life In A Snapshot

This is the old piano in Malacañang of the North (Malacañang ti Amianan) that used to be the official residence of the Marcoses in Ilocos during their regime but is now turned to a museum.

The former first couple Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos must be music lovers that they have this old piano in the mansion. I’ve heard the former first lady sing more than once and I guess it’s one of her talents. With this piano I was reminded of one of my dreams before….to learn how to play one. I took a few piano lessons but seems it’s not my forte. I never learned. And I didn’t pursue it. Hmmm…maybe because I know we cannot afford to have one that time, and what’s the use of pursuing the lessons when getting even an electric keyboard and a keyboard stand would cost my parents that much. Survival is their priority when I was growing up, and I think asking for an electric keyboard would be too much.

For three weeks in a row, I am posting wedding related photos for Wednesday Whites – straight out of the camera. I, nor my husband aren’t wedding photographers. It just so happened that we’ve been invited to weddings the past years. But this photo I am sharing is not taken from a wedding of a friend or relative.

We have no idea whose bridal car that is, hubby took a photo of it while we are riding a “kalesa” (horse-drawn carriage) touring around Intramuros, Manila last year. The vintage white car caught my attention and hubby was quick to aim the camera. It was a quick snapshot. No time for taking a good angle and recomposing the shot. But I like how part of the Manila Cathedral was captured in the background.
