00:00Hi everyone, welcome to our place, ito tour namin kayo inside, let's go!
00:20This farmland is owned by my grandfather, Lolo Berto, and he was kind enough to let
00:26us develop and manage this area.
00:31This farmland is about 6 hectares, pero 2 hectares lang yung minimaintain namin.
00:37It's so special for us kasi dito nakakapag-relax kami.
00:43Fresh yung air, malayo sa masyadong busy na streets, maingay na kapit-bahay, so parang
00:49nagbabakasyon lang.
00:53Mostly sa materials na ginamit namin is around the area lang.
00:56That's why we were able to save a lot on the cost.
01:00Like yung walls, made of bagal nga trees, which is dito lang sa area namin so we didn't
01:05have to buy it.
01:07And yung framing ng house and then yung floors is coconut trees, and then yung mga posts
01:14is mahogany.
01:15Yung doors, framing ng doors is trees lang din nandito sa farm.
01:20That's why yung ibang framing is maliliit, because we just have to maximize what we have
01:26here.
01:27And yung walls inside is amakan, typical bahay kubo, hindi pa din sya, hindi pa din yung
01:34ginamit namin for the roofing.
01:36And then some of the parts, like yung CR, is concrete na kasi nababasa sya always,
01:42so mahirap pag ikahoy namin sya.
01:45Ito yung patio, it's just 6 by 12 feet yung size niya.
01:57Sometimes dito rin kami tumatambay, nagpapahangin, nagdudu yan.
02:01By the way, these walls are made from bagal nga tree or neem tree.
02:06Dito lang din namin sa area sya nakuha, so we don't have to buy this, nakasave kami sa
02:11cost.
02:12And yung windows din namin is galing sa old windows ng parents ko, so we also don't have
02:18to buy those.
02:19And then also the wood frames for the doors, salvage din dito sa area.
02:23There are two events na memorable sa amin dito.
02:30One was that we did our prenup here, dun sa loob.
02:34So tinulong ako ng cousin ko, Lishina, to redesign the house, yung mga ratan products
02:40is galing sa shop niya.
02:42This is our setup na, yung may string lights.
02:45So memorable siya sa amin kasi dito nangyari yung reception namin for our civil wedding.
02:58Yung dimension ng house is 12 feet by 12 feet, yung patio is around 6 by 12 feet, and then
03:05yung CR is 4 by 6 feet.
03:08Initially, hindi siya designed to be a residential house, parang we just wanted to have a place
03:14where we can stay here sa farm to relax and to do our work, kasi we're both working online.
03:20Kaya siya kwarto lang and CR, nakadetouch yung kitchen, kasi later na namin na-realize
03:25na we actually need to have a kitchen.
03:30And then for the design, gusto namin yung typical na kubo, pero hindi the same as what we usually
03:38see.
03:39So naganap lang kami ng design sa Pinterest, yun lang yung sinunda namin kung ano yung
03:43magusta namin.
03:44So eto na yung pinaka main room, this is 12 by 12 feet, yung size niya, and eto na yung
03:55bedroom slash living room slash office namin.
03:59It's made from amakan, yung double wall niya, and then yung ceiling niya, before it used
04:06to be banig, kaya lang since hindi namin siya na-treat well, we have to change it kasi we
04:14need to repair it.
04:16Yung furniture, yung computer and bedside table are from Red's parents' house, so we also
04:22don't have to buy those.
04:24And we just need to customize yung bed and then yung cabinet kasi.
04:29We need to maximize the space, kaya may storage na din siya sa baba para ilagay yung mga gamit
04:36namin.
04:37Also, the cabinets are custom-made kasi eto lang yung fair na area na pwede naming paglagyan
04:44sa kanya.
04:45Since nasa province kami, limited lang yung items na we can choose from, so it was easy
04:50for us to find yung cabinet and then yung chairs.
04:54We just purchased it online kasi walang masyadong pagpipilian dito sa province.
05:00Eto na yung workplace namin.
05:03Since both of us are working online, programmer si Red and I am a virtual assistant, so dito
05:09na kami nag-work every day.
05:13And then direkto na sa CR, since we designed this as a place that we can stay here sa farm
05:20pag pumupunta kami, meron siyang access from the outside.
05:24So dalawa yung access niya, from the room and then may access din siya palabas.
05:32So that yung visitors, dito na sila dumadaan pag gumagamit sila ni CR.
05:38Also, we had to renovate na din yung CR kasi this used to be all bamboo dito.
05:44Kaya lang, since lagi siyang ginagamit, dito na kasi kami nakatera, kaya madali na siyang
05:50deteriorate.
05:51So we have to change it to concrete na.
05:55Well, yung favorite part po namin ng house is yung main house na mismo.
06:02Once you go inside, it's just the room.
06:05Parang all-in-one na siya.
06:06Yun na yung pinaka-living room namin, bedroom, and office.
06:11Usually, we spend most of our time dun sa area na yun.
06:16We've been living here for two years na.
06:19And so far, with regards to the security, three houses lang kami dito.
06:24We could say naman na secure siya.
06:27We have a gate naman also.
06:29And then marami kami yung farm dogs.
06:31Farm dogs.
06:32Oo.
06:33Yung farm dogs talaga yung parang pinaka-security guard namin.
06:37So far, safe naman dito.
06:39Siguro, you just need to choose or evaluate the area, of course, at first before settling down.
06:50Yeah, for the cost of the farmhouse, it's about Php 150,000, more or less.
06:57Including the furnitures inside.
07:00But we were able to save a lot on the materials because most of it were sourced out lang dito sa farm.
07:11Since we initially designed this as yung kwarto lang, kaya naka-detach yung kitchen.
07:17Later na namin siya, naka-decide na kailangan namin yung kitchen dito.
07:21So, yun.
07:22As you can see, parang iba.
07:24Eto concrete, eto nipa.
07:26Because this was the old kitchen.
07:28It's made from light materials lang.
07:30Kahoy, nipa.
07:32And then, when we actually lived here, na-realize namin na since hindi naman well-treated yung mga wood.
07:39So, madali siyang na-deteriorate.
07:41So, kailangan na namin i-repair.
07:43And also, since mahilig na rin akong magluto, kaya we decided to extend the kitchen.
07:50So, itong side na to, concrete na siya.
07:52Para mas tumagal siya and hindi na masyadong mag-repair.
08:00We opted to put our entertainment dito outside.
08:03Yung TV, tsaka speakers.
08:04Dito na kami namin noon.
08:05TV, YouTube, or listen to Spotify.
08:09So, we have here a coffee table, which is also salvaged.
08:12Doon sa bahay ng parents ko.
08:15And the chairs are also salvaged from Red's parents' house.
08:23So, here din sa lawn area, nilagyan namin siya ng string lights.
08:27Para ma-enhance yung vibes ng farm.
08:30So, nabili namin siya online.
08:33And we installed it this way.
08:35Para maganda naman siyang pigna.
08:39If we're going to choose, if it's going to be just the two of us,
08:44we can live in this payag for a long time.
08:47But, in reality, for a growing family, we also wanted each member to have their own space.
08:53So, siguro, in the long run, hindi siya magiging ideal.
08:58So, meron siyang potential na pwedeng i-Airbnb later if we have another place to stay na.
09:06So, yun yung nakikita namin na potential ng payag.
09:09And then, siguro, later, if may budget, we are planning to have a small cafe here.
09:17And also, maybe do farm-to-table experience for people.
09:23And maybe we can officially open this area to the public.
