My Lola (grandmother) lives in this quaint property abundant with lush greenery. I enjoy coming here when I have time because it's a refreshing break from the urban jungle, and it's not so far away from where I live. We've had this property for as long as I can remember and my dad used to take us here when this was nothing but a wide expanse of vegetation.

This lot has greatly improved throughout the years, and deteriorated at the same time with my dad's passing. Some parts of it have been neglected, while others were kept intact such as this barn house right behind my Lola's house. I love that it's now painted in white,. It's very shabby-chic! Inside it's but a storage room.

Further into the farm, you'll have to tread a walkway that takes you to a clearing where the main hall can be found. Back in the day, this path was hardly walkable with tall grass and tress coming out of nowhere.

There's really nothing grand about the houses inside our farm. My dad never saw the need for building a "mansion" inside because I think he wanted to keep the integrity of the natural environment. I totally agree with it, however, these houses are so "backward" that it doesn't provide a suitable living condition. Oh, and my mom has a new project that I'm officially calling "bamboo house." She found several piles of bamboo wood and thought of transforming it into a nice little daybed, that should look like this: Although the one now is looking far from it. LOL!

Whom of these two do I look like? My Mumay or Lola? My aunt always says that I'm lucky because 35 years from now I don't have to guess how I'll look - all I have to do is look at my mom. And to see myself in old age, I don't have to go too far - my Lola will be my exact replica. Hahaha! What do you think?
