Photo-op at the Site

We had a look-see on the current status of the house today. Sunday is the most convenient coz there are no workers around and also it’s also the safest – no falling debris.

Here’s where the stairs will be. There was a heavy downpour just the night before so it’s so wet everywhere.


New Dog

Sorry for the long absence. We’ve been having some internet problems at home.

We got a new dog! She’s a purebreed askal and imported all the way from Pampanga! The owners (Elvis) said she’ll make a good guard dog.

I hope she will. I thought we’d call her “Lucky” coz the owner’s son took her to our house in Pampanga in a “Lucky Me – Pancit Canton” empty box.


But the kids had other choices: "Daisy", "KC", even “Tricycle”. Finally, we all settled for “Pootchie”.

After our trip from Pampanga, the dog was just too stressed or tired that she slept most of the time. Renz tripped and scraped his chin on the road while walking to church.


On the homefront, there have been plenty of developments.











Beautiful Porto Laiya at San Juan Batangas

Yesterday all seven of us headed off to Porto Laiya for a “tripping” trip courtesy of Edna and Ate Belle. We left Jollibee Pacita at around 7:30am riding the Delica van driven by Edna’s husband Vic.

After a little over 2 hours, we reached the destination. The place was breathtaking!


Moving the Bathroom

After much discussion with the engineer last Saturday (architect is at the US for 3 weeks), we agreed on moving the bathroom from its proposed location in the plan to take space instead from the laundry area. This effectively creates a bigger space in the center of the house.

Here’s the part of the kitchen that will give way to the door for the new location of the ground floor bathroom.
