<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I'm no John Evelyn, no Samuel Pepys......but now the Philippines blog makes a comeback. The only vaguely interesting news here, and that will be very questionable for many, is that the <strong>relief map of Mindanao</strong>, possibly only the second ever in the whole wide world, after the Jose Rizal-inspired one in Dapitan in the late 19th century, has had a spruce up. To see it in its former glory, have a look on Google Earth. Just type in 'Colupan', and there's a photo of it. In its glory days, the map featured coloured lights to indicate the 15 major cities. Sadly, after a few years of attempting to sustain what must have been a very dubious underwater wiring network, the map's maintenance team - me - has decided that the lighting had to go, and the wiring was covered over with quick-drying cement. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The last straw, was coming back this year to discover a scene of desolation - see above - a relief map in sad repair. None of the 15 lights worked - in fact, none of the bulbs was intact. A high level enquiry has concluded that the culprits have been narrowed down to about twelve 2-8 year old children, who sadly lacking Dinky Toys, Hornby train sets, even ghastly computer games, take their juvenile kicks from stomping all over the map, and knocking the crap out of it. (They have been rewarded with food, drink, medicine and our loving support, through gnashing teeth, in my case) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To compensate for this sad reduction in night-time visual impact, I have re-painted the map, to reflect the latest political boundaries, though proximity to the actual colours needed has been compromised by my lack of paint-mixing skills. (actually white latex, with a combination of tinting colours). The fountain still works, as does the light at the top of the flag post. (The Philippine flag is raised whenever the Queen of Colupan - Bing - is in residence, and lowered on her departure, which this year will be on 30th April 2013, just in time to avoid the excesses of the barrio fiesta and local mayoral elections)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well, diary, that is all for now. I have to upgrade the drainage of the front balcony, and then finish off "Oliver Twist", part of a complete set of Dickens inherited from my grandparents.</span> </div>

Got back from my 5.30am run to hear the squeals of a soon-to-be deceased pig, which was spit roasted, and loaded onto the Crosswind. Had a good swim before the food. <br />

It cost £250 to replace the ceilings in two rooms, under the landing and a bit of overhang outside, paint the new ones, redec the two rooms, revarnish the floors of the two upstairs bedrooms, landing and stairs, and wash all the external paintwork.

In fact the channel we watched was sponsored by the local congresswoman. It was a clear picture, even if the fight itself was too one-sided to be exciting. <br />

I was able to get to it as Mario had made us yet another bamboo ladder. The building at the back is Andring's house.

Crispin is replacing the door frame onto the front patio. We're having the ceiling in Mama & Papa's old room replaced. The underlying problem is that the front terrace doesn't drain properly, so water stays on the surface and seeps through the grout, and softens the wood, which then attracts termites who munch away. We're having the terrace re-tiled, so that it slopes from front to back and right to left, with a bigger drain, covered with gauze to prevent blocking. It's barely rained since we've been here, though pours in Nov/Dec. Crispin is planing the new mahogany wood with an electric planer before the brownout begins. <br />
<br />
I've got to plan the Pacquiao v Clottey fight viewing, as we're due a brownout on Sunday morning when it is live here (Sat. night in Dallas). Might have to see it in Jiminez.Kevinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05568384032326030990noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674579484960084611.post-81850823137013327422010-03-06T20:19:00.000-08:002010-03-06T21:03:06.637-08:00Jun & Bebe Cedro visitWe were up at 5am this morning to take Jun and Bebe to Ozamiz airport. They are off to Manila. We had a great few days with them. On Wednesday we drove to Hoyohoy, a mountain resort about 1500 feet high. From there Ozamiz looks like a postage stamp. The mountain road was, as usual, unfinished, with alternate cemented and rough bits. On the way we stopped at Citi Hardware and bought a re-chargeable light unit and rubber torch to help cope with the increasingly regular brownouts.<br />

It is in front of St. James' church. The new tableau, above, depicts the moment Rizal and his armed Spanish guards landed at Dapitan. It's made of cement and painted in gilt - very impressive. After a seafood lunch with Bebe's friend Mila, we drove to Dakak, a resort situated in a small cove with white sand. In the evening we had calamares, washed down with a few San Miguels, my first proper drink for 24 days. <br />

The museum has been upgraded with a series of panels depicting Rizal's exile. Lunch was at the Dapitan Resort Hotel, by the bay, and we stopped at Rhovic's Place on the seafront in Oroquita for a drinks break on the way home. Back to Colupan and an evening brownout.<br />
<br />
Yesterday Jun, a retired engineer, replaced the shower tap, after we'd driven to Ozamiz for a plumber's wrench, costing P395. He even managed to remove the disc from my angle grinder, which I failed to do. Went to Colupan chapel at 4pm, as it was the first Sunday in the month. Father Peter called in for dinner and wine afterwards.Kevinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05568384032326030990noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674579484960084611.post-38823038562466574232010-03-02T15:55:00.000-08:002010-03-02T15:55:47.926-08:00<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>I pressure hosed the patio and raised beds in the back garden on Monday. Jun and Bebe from Florida called yesterday morning, and we later joined them for a lunch reunion of her family. Here they are in the allotment. We need to support that papaya tree or it will fall down. Roger Fuertes, an ex pro boxer, was there helping with the cooking. Paul, who painted the house two years ago, is here with a couple of lads to wash the paintwork. We went to the day care centre to show the kids Adam's video of Bing's visit last year. In the afternoon Lorie, Sarah, Meilor, Kirsten, and their son Arun and Kirsten's mother called in. So no work yesterday. At 7pm there was another brownout, the second in two days. Water levels are low at the hydro electric plants, caused, apparently, by El Nino. As it's dark at 6.30pm we use our laptops by candlelight till the batteries fail, sit on the balcony in the moonlight, and go to bed early and read by torchlight.Kevinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05568384032326030990noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674579484960084611.post-51060511808587006982010-02-27T03:12:00.000-08:002010-02-27T05:43:39.850-08:00<div align="right" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVlL2xxOPkYmfpZaMDf_YYxX-EKbmNaSKunTybMkiv898sWEQuXer9-8DDIeY9G528Q0rCgA2cPezIeTObFzxYEYyNKSIdW7lvOejLmoDFa0BcaOdJSGp-OamcZ0HPysugB06Gc2H9JgY/s1600-h/Garage.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" kt="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVlL2xxOPkYmfpZaMDf_YYxX-EKbmNaSKunTybMkiv898sWEQuXer9-8DDIeY9G528Q0rCgA2cPezIeTObFzxYEYyNKSIdW7lvOejLmoDFa0BcaOdJSGp-OamcZ0HPysugB06Gc2H9JgY/s320/Garage.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWSzOoq2ZL7sSfqe90c4u3o1TePxHTc1-u_VV29lQSdim1CmN_1X25XgPIM8pFLYNyYSTUaiuE7HxOnSWA-qNKE2s1eChcVXfv-n1sGsxwueaxCTsTONnvvTsrnnzcHoYRHV4rg7EGvLs/s1600-h/Gully+after+clearing+(1).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" kt="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWSzOoq2ZL7sSfqe90c4u3o1TePxHTc1-u_VV29lQSdim1CmN_1X25XgPIM8pFLYNyYSTUaiuE7HxOnSWA-qNKE2s1eChcVXfv-n1sGsxwueaxCTsTONnvvTsrnnzcHoYRHV4rg7EGvLs/s320/Gully+after+clearing+(1).JPG" /></a></div>Ray, the electrician, came today and fixed the lawnmower, so I was able to cut the grass. How good to have a working lawnmower after last year's problems with it. Cleared out the recycling area, next to the incinerator, and lit yet another fire. Here's the shed after a massive clear out. During the last three days Ben Hur and Aloy removed the rotten plywood ceiling in Delia's room, and under the landing in the living room, treated the supporting beams with Solignum, and put up a new ceiling. The old one had been attacked by termites. Siliconed the shower tray on Thursday, and started digging the gulley at the edge of the road, to help the drainage. It always fills in and grows onto the road while we're away. Here is where the road has been extended 200m up the mountain track, as far as we can see from the house. Am back to running on M-W-T, and am losing weight at last - 6lb so far. We're thinking of trips to Mindoro, where we hope to meet boxer Teddy Baldock's grandson, and Davao.Kevinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05568384032326030990noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674579484960084611.post-5812128726818818902010-02-23T05:44:00.000-08:002010-02-26T23:43:35.721-08:00Bing cleared out the dresser, and cleaned it, though was interrupted all day by visitors, first Doding's boss, the Head of the local Department of Social Welfare, then cousin Theresita, recently retired from the Ozamiz Post Office, then Michelle Abelidas, Irene's youngest (of nine), who came for CV advice. <br />
<br />
I had some good excercise, digging a culvert by the side of the road, removing earth and stones that had encroached onto the road. Later I picked up all the litter on the playground area opposite, and lit a fire. Cut down dead banana leaves, which burn quickly. In between, drank pints of water and read 'Box o' Tricks': The Pedlar Palmer Story, a 600 page boxing tome, written by the great-grandson of the Pedlar's wife's sister.<br />
<br />
We've only been in Colupan 11 days, but the place is looking the best it's ever been after returning from a long time away. Aloy emptied and cleaned the pond yesterday which is now protected by a large canopy, which protects it from the sun. At least now we can clearly see the fish - 10 big ones and about 100 small ones. The lawnmower is not working, as usual, so am strimming the grass each day - I get about 5mins for each charge.Kevinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05568384032326030990noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674579484960084611.post-11321977631570344252010-02-21T04:24:00.000-08:002010-02-21T04:24:45.091-08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6Ypaajd7XwGpkIJ7zleNOHXwMInUDW9GZBuz421j8bOtJ0SwYSxaMYB-jXDB_vE3EiTmwDTXZHj8ZQDfwsOl3iUrfH862CykbmFxcga074kDJzk2xDloMTp-saNHjFBsJz3mRQhYt51s/s1600-h/At+MOAP+with+Adella+(2).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ct="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6Ypaajd7XwGpkIJ7zleNOHXwMInUDW9GZBuz421j8bOtJ0SwYSxaMYB-jXDB_vE3EiTmwDTXZHj8ZQDfwsOl3iUrfH862CykbmFxcga074kDJzk2xDloMTp-saNHjFBsJz3mRQhYt51s/s320/At+MOAP+with+Adella+(2).JPG" /></a>Took Adella to MOAP (Misamis Occidental Aquamarine Park) for lunch today</div>Kevinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05568384032326030990noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3674579484960084611.post-47321131904372659072010-02-21T04:04:00.000-08:002010-02-21T04:04:29.903-08:00Trip to Baliangao<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_FxnbCqqdNok9kRN6QkOv7KpUXjqTQbVy4HoYvcYjCbkeYNk4Xp-FNS9KZEJjXMjQQH2gFeflkXh30K4sBYVLf_5qT_WY6NlGwfV2TS_oliLonw_Xl6UItXGRWVdzJoc1w0ssNkWbGGo/s1600-h/Trip+to+Baliangao+(42).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ct="true" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_FxnbCqqdNok9kRN6QkOv7KpUXjqTQbVy4HoYvcYjCbkeYNk4Xp-FNS9KZEJjXMjQQH2gFeflkXh30K4sBYVLf_5qT_WY6NlGwfV2TS_oliLonw_Xl6UItXGRWVdzJoc1w0ssNkWbGGo/s200/Trip+to+Baliangao+(42).JPG" width="200" /></a>Drove 90 mins to Baliangao with Adella, and spent the day with her niece Marivel, and her husband Eamonn who organised a seafood picnic.

Watched the BBC Churchill film "Into the Storm" - very moving I thought - , and Michael Jackson's "This is it". Talk about a Jekyll and Hyde character, strange off stage, but still brilliant on. After the overnight ferry trip to Ozamis, we arrived at 6am and were met by Lorie and Sarah, and after breakfast with them came home.<br />
The house was not as dirty after being vacant for 5 months as it is after 9m, but still home to lots of dust and cobwebs. Within two days, with lots of help it was back to normal. Two of our main helpers - Analuz and Doding - are pregnant and due next month, but still seem to perform to the required level! The Crosswind started first time as usual, and it only took an hour to wash the mildew from the leather seat covers. The garden and allotment are both in good shape, and won't need much work to get them completely straight. Although some of our big fish died, there's loads still there, with probably 100 small ones. We'd been given a big janitor fish, which slurps around and keeps the pond clean. What a difference it makes.<br />
<br />
So it's good to be on top of things so quickly. Elections are coming up in May. There's a serious candidate to the sitting Mayor, whose term follows two of his mother and two of his father. They've been running the show for 20 years, so it'll be good for a change. In the run up to elections, various civic projects suddenly re-emerge and get completed, which is good news as the cement road which stops 30m past our house is being continued up in to the mountain road for another quarter of a mile.<br />
<br />
It's gloriously sunny here of course, and hasn't rained for two weeks, so at least the lawn is dry enough to mow.<br />
<br />
We met Adella in church today. We went on holiday with her and Peter to Switzerland and Hungay in the last two years. She came for her brothers funeral. He was only 62, but a big drinker. I'm off the alcohol since I've been here, and aiming to get fit again after 9 months of sedentary habits. My Friday 3m run to Sinonoc was the slowest ever, but will be back to my normal times in a week or so. I'm planning to run each day during the week. Just bought a pair of Nike MaxAir running shoes, as my old ones are held together with glue.
