Unos

Strong gust took down the big tree blocking half of our view out to the sea. Now we can see Pescador island from all of our lot.

These gusts come in very fast. Still I cannot predict what dark clouds just rain and what is just strong wind. I mean, soon I have a banca and when caught in open sea by these strong winds, I smell trouble. Must have respect for local conditions.



Bukid mama one night bring a mouse home and eat up. Following two nights bring in birds and give to kittens to play and eat. Only I was early morning standing in kitchen and filling up water kettle, suddenly feel strong bites in my feet, look down and see red ants who come because rests of bird all over the rug.

I can handle most in here but not red ant bites. Takes more than one week to heal. First I have to scratch the coming bubble so blood comes out (and poison), then slowly with zink paste dry up the wounds. Really PITA.



Word of the day: unos = gust

Walk the walk

September 9 Junior walking longer streches. Before only 3 steps. His walking was maybe a little late, by almost 14 months, but he is very careful and wont fall recklessly.


Jerry and Banjing loading a 60 kg bucket on Honda to sell in Ginatilan. Today the catch is tagnipis, a small anjovis, coming from Zaracosa. One bucket is 950 peso. Resale price is 25 peso/kg. Profit 10 peso/kg. Hinay hinay.


Pancikol coming again. Price is from 100 peso.


Word of the day: tagnipis = anjovis (one of many a kind)
