Hi Manong Vic,

 

Is this what you are talking about?  I believe that's Manang Polly's Resort, viewed from the back  or maybe it is the Shahani/Ramos house.  I might be wrong.  I could ask my cousin when I call her to be sure.  Our house is in my back when I took the pictures.  Our house is little, my cousin lives there. 

 

I will attached one photo that my uncle Carlito Padilla's house.  Our house is where all the sacks of rice park.*

 

Cheers,

Marcie 

* check the slideshow..Wow, Marcie. With the price of rice now a days, you should put iron bars, double padlocks and doberman dogs to guard your warehouse!

The photos sent by Marcie which I used for the slideshow are quite something, especially if you enlarge them to their original sizes...These are very clear, lots of details which you can only find in pastoral scenes in bangcags back home. You can see how the palay reapers dressed. So hot, yet they wear all these pile of clothes I guess just to prevent the budo from getting into their skin...

 

When I used them in the slideshow, the AOL software reduced the photos in low resolution format so it could fit in to be used in websites. Thus, there is not much to see..

 

Even in the shot above certain details are still fuzzy. If you care to see the originals, maybe you can just request the batch of digital shots from Marcie.

 

If you have a photo printer and you print 'em on 8.5 by 11 photo paper, these will really be a showcase to the work in the rice fields of the Philippines come harvest time.

 

Oh yes, I received from Marcie another batch of magnificent shots on Asingan. These time her camera took some photos of our Asingan market. You will drool on the goodies portrayed there. Will use them in an upcoming slideshow, but again it is better to see the originals...:)

 

Bottom line: Visit Asingan especially during the next town fiesta, 2009. Our high schools are organizing massive reunion programs..Something worth anticipating and worth coming home for....
