a home on a hill

Hi. Yes I know it's been ages since I last upated (nearly a month ago), but I'm making up for that with this long, picture-filled post about my day today. 

I'm in CDO for the long weekend, and today just so happened to be my lola's birthday! To celebrate, the Capinpuyan family made an hour-long drive to my Uncle Mike's poultry farm in Alubijid.

I've been to poultry farms before, and as much as I love getting to play with little chicks, I hate the smell and heat that comes with those visits. Today, luckily, I was in for a wonderful surprise.

Uncle Mike and Tita Binky live in a home made out of container vans. I thought it looked really simple on the outside, but once I stepped inside, I was just amazed. Everything looked so shiny and new. And air-conditioned at that. There was even an HD TV and a PS3. 

The food was so yummy too. I shouldn't have filled up on all those mini-burgers (goodbye healthy eating). 

I spent the rest of the afternoon with my cousins outside, sitting on the porch and eating watermelons. 

I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. 


The house from the outside. 


And now for pictures of the inside.




And now for random things. 

My sister Cait saw this fly, and she said it looked remarkably huge.


"Happy birthday 'Mamang,' if that is your real name. Love Carlito."














(My cousin Nikki was taking several pictures of me eating puto, 
and when I noticed it, she snapped this unattractive picture of me.)





(Lola is making the cutest face here!!!)

And speaking of cute...!

Also, Dad was wearing a nice floral shirt I had never seen him wear before. Quite fitting for the occassion. 

My brother's head.










That's it. Today was great. :)

    That fly's nothing compared to the one I saw outside Escaler.

#1: Lolwhut . Chick lit is a real genre now? . . . #2: My guitar of five years finally bit the dust today. I have no idea why, but when I picked it up this morning from its usual place behind the mirror, its bridge was already snapped off and the strings dangling out of place.   Aasdfkj asolfjwoijsld; sakj fw ;.  My mom says I can buy a new one here in Manila, but I'll go take it to a repair shop before I even begin to think about replacing it. We've been through so much! :'( And now for a little nostalgia: The guitar was actually a present from Santa Claus back in the December of 2005. It was a gift meant for all of us kids, but I, being the most musically inclined in the family (and also the most talented and probably the smartest), took to learning the guitar in the summer of 2006.  When I became a freshman in high school, I brought the guitar with me a lot, and whenever I did, my friend Marc Paul (whom I mentioned in another guitar-related post and is probably

        Something about living on my own and learning how to budget the P300 my mom's allowing me per day is turning me into a real cheapskate. This week, I started keeping track of my expenses for my meals. I wrote them all down in this purple notebook my sister had gotten me for my birthday, and ever since then, I've been obsessed with figuring out how to cut back.          I think that being able to actually see those figures written down on paper like that instead of mentally keeping track of them is what's suppressing my impulsive tendencies. Sudden decisions to order dessert, or last-minute detours to Rustan's Supermarket to pick up cookies or cold juice - such was my life before the Purple Notebook. There's my magic little notebook. This picture was taken in Cagayan, the night before I moved to Manila.            Today, I learned when NOT to be thrifty. It was raining buckets here, you see, and because of that, my Smart Bro connection wasn't workin
