spent the weekend in batangas at a friends farm at the foot of a "maiden's breast," Loosely translated from "susong dalaga", which is the name of the mountains (or hills?) that is the backdrop of our friends farm. Took the trip with my friend Cocoy who dreamt about Francine Prieto being an transexual and proved wrong. No wonder he was smiling.
I helped our friend design this farm as thier weekend hideaway. My friend and his husband bought this property so that they could make things grow. They already have at least 10 kinds of fruit trees and vegetables here. It may take a few years before it can be harvested but it gonna be worth the wait. They also have 10 or so dogs of different breeds, from Japanese Spitz, Belgian Malinois and German Sheperds, black and white. There's also Cocoy's bitch, Trixie, their first dog, a huge, black Rottwieler. They also keep 3 young falcons in a birdcage in the property.
Half of the propoerty has a steep slope, dropping by 50meters to a river below. It's a long trek down with 4 pit stops along a stairway carved into the mountain-side. I always love going here, and I can't wait to finish the pool they've asked me to add into this small piece of paradise.
