The ancestral house in GenSan

It started with collecting antiques that my parents had the idea to build a house where we can put the collection we started, oh well my mom started it then my dad and now me...my brother is starting to show some interest too!  The story started when my mom started to buy porcelain antique vases and plates and brass things, which we obviously didn't get the point at that time.  There comes a time that her collection became a nuisance to the house because our house in Gensan and in Manila became a warehouse for her collection, so the idea of building an ancestral house was born.  It was built on a 5,000Sq lot at the back of my parents house.  It was a suitable place for the idea.  Most of the materials used in building the house is from the old house of my grandfather in San Juaquin, Batangas.  The big planks, windows and most of the things inside the house are from the old house in Batangas.  The bed, kitchen utensils, dining set, sala set, mirrors and  etc are from there too.  It was like the old house in Batangas was moved in GenSan.  My most favorite thing there is the image of the Blessed Virgin Mary, it's one of the special things that I remember in that old house in Batangas when I was a child.  Oh well, in short we fell in love with the idea of building the Ancestral house in GenSan.  Since the area is too big for the house alone, my dad got the idea to put up a cafe where visitors can see his vintage car collection, a function hall for events, a small chapel and rooms open for accommodation.  All of these are now in construction. And we hope that this would become a tourist spot in GenSan.  So people, till my next post...
