Palaypay Construction 012
Originally uploaded by jovywacay

Note how creative Filipinos are when it comes to improvising things. In this photograph, it is shown how a rice thresher was being used as wheeled scaffold for the canvas installation of the palaypay.

This photo was taken by my then would-be-wife Jovy prior to our wedding last December. She was using Sony Ericsson T280i to capture the scene. Another photo is here (hover your mouse over the link to see the photo).

On a personal note, I just don't have much times blogging maybe until the end of this month. I'm just too busy fixing messed up records caused by an errant co-employee who was just terminated for such cause (this is just an incident you can never blog about). Unfortunately, I still have lots of posts queued in my draft box. My North Cotabato Adventure series will be left unfinished for the moment. I hate to say I'll be on temporary hiatus. While I am literally in front of my computer, you cannot just get online while offline work is piling up high to the sky. Friends, I hope to get back very soon.

    Filipinos are indeed very resourceful. But sometimes they don't think about the health and safety issues.

    Thanks for visiting Norwich Daily Photo and leaving your comment. Come back tomorrow!
