It was Yuletide season, a good time for another family reunion in the Philippines.  We celebrated Christmas Eve at my brother Danny and his wife Cindy’s house.  Cindy’s sisters Annie and Bettina hosted Christmas lunch.  Our holiday meals were both delightful and generous.  It was time for some physical vacation activities.  Our destination – Coron in the province of Palawan. 

Coron is remote.  We took three modes of transportation to get there - by air, land and sea.  Our big family tour group flew from Manila to Busuanga Island just north of the island of Palawan, then rode two vans through hills and dirt roads, before taking two motor boats to reach our secluded vacation hideaway by the beach.  The skillful boatmen waded and pushed the two small crafts as we passed through shallow waters between mangroves.

The Village
I've painted several bahay kubos before but never one big enough to hang in our living room. To revive my art that has been dormant since time immemorial, I decided to make one for myself, riding on the momentum created by some demo paintings I was volunteered to do for my son's class in school. Bahay kubos are the easiest to paint and so this should be a breeze. So, I thought.

A year after priming the canvas and sketching some initial elements, my bahay kubos remained in dreamland. It's true some unfortunate, energy-zapping turns of events were partly responsible for the delay, but, I think the main cause was trying to work purely from imagination without any definite plan. It's much harder to finish something when one doesn't know how it looks like when it is finished.
