Here in the Province, there are lots of old ancestral houses built and all of this concluded as one of best treasure brought from the past civilization. Even my Grandma's house is also very old and it is already 100 years old because her Parents built the house. Until today, the house is still stand and my Grandma also lived there many years already. As part of my Black and White Photography posts as part pf #monomad challenge, I will take you to my Grandma's simple old house and share those few things can found at the house. I decided to visit there today, and it takes a few minutes before reaching the place.

At the end big circle thing is where the padlock will attached everytime when she went out. It helps her house secured. It is already many times and even if it is rusty, it also good to use.

Even the Padlock is also very old and rusty, my Grandma put small amount of Used oil so it will still usable. This padlock contains a great stories from my Grandma's childhood, her Mother gave this and she kept it for many years until she finally used it as house door padlock. My Grandma collected different kinds of padlock and keys but this is her favorite padlock she always used. I decided to put at the long wooden chair, I also tried to exposed it under the sun so it can create a great shadows before I take a picture with it. My Grandma asked me why I need the padlock she doesn't have any ideas of what I am going to do with the padlock.

My Grandma's favorite cat was very serious looking at the kitchen, I think she saw something that might be interesting to catch like cockroaches and rats. This adorable cat doesn't noticed that I take a capture and gladly she did noticed and I successfully take her a picture. This cats was very fucosed of what she saw and getting a chance to catch those moving animals like rats. The reason why Grandma loves and likes this cat its because she knows how to chase rats and very aggressive by chasing cockroaches and even lizards.

Grandma only contains few big galloons of water and storing it is very important because it is well scheduled by water distributions. Sometimes, water interruptions will happens and it takes few days before it will fully operated again. This small plastic bottle is already a big important to her, in fact she stored water using this small plastic bottles. My Grandma lives in a simple and peaceful house and for her it is just like a Palace.

During my Visit, I also noticed this fruit at my Grandma's bed and I was very surprised to see that it was my favorite fruit to eat named, Santol. She placed at the top of the bed so I can easily noticed it but she also forgot to give me this. The fruit was perfectly shine with the raise of the sun creating a perfect round shadow. My Grandma always asking me why I always take pictures of the things that makes me attracted to it and I answered in sweet voice that is for blogging.

Grandma loves to read books, she have no ideas about using smartphones or any kinds of gadgets but reading books is one of her hobbies. This Self-Development book is very interesting to read, it contains positive vibes that can applied to ourselves as for that I came up to my mind to do something more interesting and attractive. I borrowed my Grandma's old ring and placed between book pages and the best images came up creating this heart shadows of the book. My Grandma was very amazed and she asked me again where I gained that Ideas. Well, I saw some of it at the social media and now I finally tried with myself.

Until next post, have a nice day to all of us.
