Hello! On Sunday to celebrate Filipino American History Month we set up a couple of tables with cool activities! The entire museum was CROWDED with guests, and it was a great experience. Originally, Natalie and I worked on making buttons with baybayin words on them, while Nell and Mar helped people food-stamp their bags. Eventually we switched off, and were able to experience both processes. Making the buttons was really fun and relaxing, getting into the hang of the button-maker was pretty easy and I loved seeing the expressions on kid's faces when they realized they were making actual buttons. Helping with the tote bags was much harder, people can be pretty demanding. I enjoyed it more though, I think it's the most exercise I've gotten in a long time since I stopped taking P.E. Also, it was nice to see the variety in the artwork. One lady refused to use anything but a heart-shaped potato, and another spent her entire time asking me to choose the vegetables for her.
