My Daily Life Post: "Visiting My Late Grandma's Place"

Today, we decided to visit my Grandma's house and its been many days since we did not visited here again. Expected that the place contains lots of trash, dry branches of trees and wild grass grows at my Grandma's house. My Grandma passed away last year and we are obliged to take care of the place particularly her simple and unique house. It is built with light materials just like bamboo pieces, lumbers and plainsheets. It is located at the middle of the forestry place here in Barangay Punta Silum not quite far from our Vacant lot. It was 10 in the morning when we arrived at the place, I can see that the structure was continuing to broke. Some parts of the structure was already broke and destroyed, this will be having a big renovation activities once it will be renovated. This is my grandma's house, it is a kind of two storey house where most of the parts of the structure is made of light materials.

This is the living room and staircase leads at the Second floor of the house. It is made of lumber and thr floor is made of solid concrete. The walls is made of lumbers and have a long bamboo chair. As I checked the place inside of the house, I found out that some of it are still usable. It really needs to be clean so it will have a nice and attractive views. Lots of dry leaves and dry small branches are inside of the house and those old pictures was already destroyed. Ceilings are covered with lots of spider webs and dusts and I really felt very sad about what I've seen. We forgot to bring broomsticks that is why we cannot swept or clean the place.

My Grandma's waitingshed is also needs to renovate since this structure was not totally finished. It needs to nailed few bamboo pieces for the floor and also at the long chair. It is built near at the house and needs to be cleaned. During we visit here, we always stopped by here just to take a rest during our travel and sometimes we ate our snacks and lunch here. It is surrounded with lots of tall trees and few ornamental plants but now, it was to totally filled with lots of dry leaves and branches.

The next place we went was this very old coconut dryer structure. It is totally destroyed particularly the floor, ceiling and the wall. Half of the structure was not yet collapsing but cannot be use because some of the lumbers are already broken by termites. We brought lots of empty sacks but we put some of it at the structure where it cannot be wet by rain. Firewoods are also placed here once we can't brought it all during back home. Plainsheets are already rusty and some of it are cannot be use anymore, the best way for this is to sell it at the junkshop.

Few of our young coconuts are already grows ready to plant at the vacant lot. My Grandma put this few coconut and now it already grows. My Father was instantly dug a hole and started to plant some of it but it cannot be finished today. It already covered with wild grass and dry leaves and some of the coconuts are hard to pulled because of the roots.

Some of the coconut palm are dried here in this manggoe tree and we put it in in slant position. In this way, coconut will dry very fast. It takes almost an hour of gathering coconut palms and dried it here.

After that, We decided to eat our lunch here at waitingshed. We brought lots of rice with fried egg and fish. We spent many hours at my Grandma's place. Until next post, have a nice day to all of us.
