Most of us dream to have a fabulous and big house. Air conditioned, fully furnished and with complete facilities (bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, dinning room, living room, garden, swimming pool) just like this:
But for me I prepared to live in a "bahay kubo". "Bahay kubo" is the native house here in the Philippines and it is also considered as its national shelter. This is made up of indigenous materials that can be found in the Philippines like bamboo and nipa.
A typical bahay kubo only has one, large, open, multi-purpose room for dwelling, called bulwagan. It has a cellar, called silong where most household chores are done. This area serves as the area for livestock pens, storage space, workspace and granary. The walls are made of nipa and cogon leaves or sawali or woven bamboo, and there are large windows on all sides, which keep the interior well-ventilated. The windows have tukod or “legs” that hold the swinging shades open during the day, and secure it back in place at night. Another feature of the the bahay kubo is ladder or hagdan which can easily be removed at night or when the owners are out. Likewise, some huts have an open back porch or batalan where household chores are done and where the jars of water are placed.
I want to live my life in a smple way. Having a happy family and ever supportive friends.
