Hoping this 4 day vacation was relaxing but I think this trip was more of learning how to cope with others wherein patience was really tested and deep understanding was highly needed. No joke this was sorta fun and exciting with all the planned destinations. Truly, I am amazed of the beauty of God's creation, from the beaches to the cave, to each island and rock formations. The food here was fresh and savory. The locals here was really kind, accommodating and jolly.

I enjoy walking around the city of Puerto Prinsesa. Visited the Plaza Cuartel, a histroric place here. Strolled around baywalk and enjoyed sweetcorn. We also ate at Guni-Guni, a hostel/restobar; they serve the best fried chicken, beef quesdilla and frozen margarita. I also love our nipahut airbnb.

On the second day, we had the Honda Bay tour. It is my first time to try snorkeling and it was fun. I enjoyed the fishes and the feeling of doing this new thing. I am looking forward to my next snorkeling. I certainly know this is not my last one.

After so many years, I was able to witness a beautiful sand bar at Luli's Island. I was also able to experience paddle diving :) I was so exhausted swimming. Only few people were in the island and we are so thankful for this experience.

We went to Cowrie Island, such a beautiful one. Sand was so fine, the nipa huts were so clean and cozy. Food served by the tour was so delicious. I enjoy the cool breeze of the sea, the trees nearby created some shed while you sat by the sand the enjoy the best view.

On our third day, we went to the one of the Seven Wonders of the World. - The Palawan Underground River. It was breathtaking. The rock formation around the cave was so beautiful. The cave was stunning, the stalagmites and stalactites, the minerals formed were so amazing.

The view of the West Philippine sea was so fascinating.

On our second accomodation, we really enjoyed the pool in the middle of the woods. The cute design of the bedroom, the aesthetic features of the house, such beautiful planted flowers around the place.

For our lunch, we will try the famous Ka Lui's Seafood Restaurant. :)

The Similarities Between Outlaw King and Game of Thrones is Fucking Wild! *Spoilers for Outlaw King Ahead

So I just finished watching the Outlaw King and I couldn’t help but notice some of the uncanny similarities between this movie and Game of Thrones. So here is a master’s list of things I noticed:

*Edit: Wrote this meta by coincidence but this is totally going to be my first meta for real world Histrorical Alusions for @jonsameta week! Granted this post is based on the movie but the story is based on true events 14th century Scottish King Robert The Bruce went through to free Scotland.

1. First and biggest similarity is the story of Norhtern Independence! Y’all don’t even get me started on this topic. The Scots are fighting for independence against England’s rule and the North have been wanting independence from the South. This is pretty self-explanatory. Also I think it’s important to mention how both Robert the Bruce and Jon Snow struggled to gather military/political support from the other northern men to support their causes.

2. The dragon sigil/banner and wolf symbolism. Prince Edward convinces his father King Edward to raise the “dragon” banner against Robert the Bruce, the Scottish King, after hearing about their rebellion. The dragon banner signified the “end of chivalry” and allowed the English army to unleash brutality against the Scotts and to forcibly conquer their lands. The color of the dragon banner was black and red the same color as the Targaryen sigil in Game of Thrones. Could this be a coincidence? Probably, but considering the fact that Outlaw King is a movie based on history I wouldn’t be surprised if GRRM could have used this story as a historical reference as well. Especially to draw historical themes of what Daenerys and the Targeryens are truly so supposed to represent.

*Bonus: When Robert the Bruce heard about his brother’s cruel death and the kidnapping of his wife and child, on his way to avenge them and free Scotland he says “No more chivalry! Now it’s time to fight like WOLVES!” Y’all I was shook. This was my live reaction lol:

3. Sansa Stark and Elizabeth similarities. Both are headstrong high born ladies paired up with rugged northern men. They’re both extremely loyal and fully support their partners causes. They are also extremely smart and aware of the power of politics and they both want their partners to treat them as equals in important political decisions. In hindsight, they both balance out their partners perfectly and make the perfect team. This movie gave me major JONSA VIBES!! It was crazy!

4. If Jon and Sansa get together (which I believe they will) I believe their interactions will be similar to the movie but on a much deeper level. I’ve always said that if Jon and Sansa got married it would be for political reasons and love. In the movie, Elizabeth and Robert have a political marriage not knowing each other at all and then falling deeply in love. With Jon and Sansa, I think it’s highly possible for them to get married for political reasons already having feelings for each other with that love only growing stronger after they marry.

Now let’s get into the tinfoil!

5. I can see a realistic layout of a potential kidnapping of Sansa in season 8 because of this film. Not saying that it will happen or that I want it to happen but I can see a layout, especially since they kidnapped Elizabeth and held her prisoner and tried to use that as leverage against Robert. Here’s the scenario I have and I think will be the most likely thing for a kidnapping to take place: a surprise attack on Winterfell. I’ll leave it at that. I’ve wrote other metas about this. Also if that actually happens, the only acceptable reaction I will take from Jon is how Chris Pine portrayed his agony which was fucking spot on and not over the top in the slightest!

6. I don’t know if this is really tinfoil but for the sake of this comparison I will put it here. I can totally see essence of political Jon in the The Outlaw King story. Robert basically had to pretend that he was in favor/loyal to the King and even swore solem vows to him. He didn’t do this because he wanted to or because he thought King Edward was a good King and deserved to rule, he did it for the sake of peace and to not have anymore bloodshed. As soon as Robert’s father passed away and he saw his people rioting against the King, Robert jumped on the first opportunity he got to fight for Scotland’s independence and broke all his vows. I believe Jon will probably do the same when the time is right and like Robert I don’t think Jon bent the knee because he was enamored with Dany. I think he did it because of the difficult situation he found himself in.

Sarah Jaffray : Introduction To Museums And Collections

Art Historian, Educator And Curator

Gallery and museum curators operate very differently due to responsibilities eg gallerists are concerned with sales whilst museum curators have to take care over how they share information.

Jaffray studied film and got a teaching job at university in LA. She studied a second MA at goldsmiths and began volunteering in museums eg museum of childhood as an invigilator and tour guide, and also worked in an educational role at the Wellcome Collection.

Her first paid museum job was through an agency at information and ticketing, all these employees were way overqualified for the job museum- the museum job market is saturated with overqualified people doing low jobs.

Who gets to work in museums? Jaffray was the only colleague from visitor services to get a curatorial role in this museum and it was made specifically for her only – art histrorical educator with an expertise in drawing , for which she is still overqualified

most museum jobs are project based, so as projects are abandoned especially during the pandemic, those staff are made redundant

It is currently nearly impossible to get a job in a museum especially the British museum – but this is a changing landscape- People are now recognizing the gaps in museums – the old model of museums is crumbling and people are making steps towards change.

Jaffray’s advice is to be yourself, don’t put all your faith in one outcome, ask for help, don’t compare yourself to others, however:

The museum world is full of nepotism and elitism, if you don’t know the right people you’ll find it difficult – there are no assurances and no set pathway

museums must take into account white supremism, and there is no fresh voices for artists in museums. massive institutional changes are necessary and hopefully imminent.

Obtaining a PHD does not make it easier to get a job in a museum –the job market is saturated with PHD’s – its all about who you know – museums will put out job adverts as a matter of courtesy when they already have someone to fill the place

Small museums require more political roles

Fair Museums Jobs– calls out processes where staff need a masters to work in the cloakroom

Museum Detox and Museum as Muck

– collectives that challenge existing museum systems/ communities for working class people and poc working in museums
