Have you ever been in a chateau full of stories that are very
spellbinding? History with enthralling mystery was pronounced
in a mansion I just toured and inspected hours ago. Beguiling
layouts, designs and paints are the corroborations of how posh
the family was and still is.
By the time I enter the main gate, I was suddenly
enraptured by the air. The divergent and positively eerie vibes
inside was very self absorbing. I contemplate the entire manor
as a harrowing place but I was erroneous. I envisioned the
place as a substantial property. The manor was the evident of
their drudgery and munificence and while observing and
scrutinizing every room I felt proud.
Depositories and galleries are very crucial for our culture
because of a reason that it windows our pasts to visit every
time we want. It also brings back colorful and memorable
snippets of our memories. Those pictures and artifacts
symbolizes as our achievements that was documented for us to
reflect and commemorate. La Castilla permeates our town’s
and university’s culture, whether academic or materialistic.
While strolling at each rooms inside the estate, I saw various
things. Mrs. Elsa Palaez’s certificates and Mrs. Rafaelita Palaez’s
piano are the things that I choose which I conclude that imparts
values rendered by our founders that also help us digest life.
The significance of that values are it represents the
accomplishments from the hard works and immense talent that
are needed to be remembered, framed and displayed.
Cuddling with your relatives is very heartwarming as well as
the place where we cuddle. The comfort and security we feel
because of their presence means a lot to us. In our home our
sofa set is the object that I will always chose as my comfort
place that represents our family values which are
thoughtfulness and care for each other. It signifies my bond
with my cousins during their visits, and those movie marathons
we had with my mother, father and brother. It also signifies our
family’s future bonding after every end of our stressful weeks.
Among all collections the family have in the depository, the
kitchenware afflict me the most. I feel stupefied and
flabbergasted when I saw the kitchen wares that have
subsisted many years ago.
 I was roused and galvanized to be more thoughtful,
compassionate and generous. I gained a lot of sense after the
tour. I learned that gathering stuff and collection is a way of
documenting memories.
It was very educational and I did have fun with my
classmates. I learned a lot with the help of our tour guide. I
admit, some of the dolls creep me out. It was all worth it. Even
if the weather was bad, my time inside the museum or the
mansion was very fruitful. I would recommend the place to my
friends, classmates and relatives if they are looking for a place
to visit and I will assure them that their time will not go to
waste. Lastly, I will add that if ever you and your family will be
given an opportunity to visit a museum for a cultural family and
art experience, embrace smartphone culture and take many
pictures as you want for you wouldn't know when you can
come back at that place again.
