LAST DECEMBER 2004, WE decided to transfer residence to a new, yet, unfinished house on the same place and on the same address. What used to be an airy space infront of the old house is now occupied by this two-storey steel-and-concrete structure which we now proudly call home.

Our village has a perimeter wall.
Our developer left a hole uncovered just outside the walls they constructed.
It was the hole that they excavated before they built that perimeter fence.
But they just left it open for years now.

EVER SINCE James Naismith invented basketball in 1899, this sport has taken great leaps and bounds and has been popular ever since, in almost all countries and in all continents (except Antarctica).

LONG AGO IN Cebu Mountaineering Society (CeMS) history, way back in 1992, when I first started to attend CeMS group activities; the place at #16 Kabahar Street, Guadalupe, Cebu City, was the unofficial venue of CeMS regular membership meetings and some other special gatherings.

Actually, it is a two-storey old house made of lumber at the upper part, painted white at the exteriors, with GI sheet roofings ...
