25 February 1931Another explosion consecutively occurred in the cave construction up there. Its too loud but cool. When I visited the blasting site, I saw how the design would go after. One of the experts said that granite is harder than limestones so it needs more powerful explosives. Though, John instructed them to use small blasts so to properly split the rocks to its desired shape and sizes. I wowed. The house bedroom had a built-in granite matrimonial bed, with a corinth design on its edges. Its smoothness is incomparable. The kitchen table was a built-in granite, lavatory, receiving area couch, the bathroom and comfort rooms will probably be done in 7 months, amazing! The entire house occupied a 100 x 70 sq. m.,rectangular in shape. The ceiling were all granite, of course. But there were four daylight optic holes bringing in sunlight in the interior. If it rains, the granite cap overhead have pulleys which can simply be pulled on the sides below and one by one it closes. Nothing will be rusted below except those spoons and forks but Chuck already brought 10 granite bowls and 10 granite plates, thinking Magee and George would have 8 children. All of these excite me. Such a smart architectural design of the west.

"Wow! if only Baldur or Albrecht is here now, I would have run into that house cave beautifully described here. Dad John! where are you now..." Then he sat back and shook his head.
George was still awake until 4 o"clock in the morning and discovered more stories from the journals. Mostly, its filled with ups and downs, he looks like Jekyl and Jake for different emotions.
" Haha!" He rolled on the chair.
"George? What happened?" Magee suddenly awakened by his loud laughter.
" Ah, no, nothing Ama Sibal had also his funny side, I just cant imagine that Dads made him intensely drunk and he wrote here that its his first time to discover that he could sing when drunk." George funnily said.
" Ah, yes, but he was a good singer. He serenades Ina when he"s drunk and kept repeating his songs." Magee smiled while arranging her hair.
But suddenly George remembered the house.
" Mag, Ama Sibal said we had a house up there with full embellishnents. Here, read this portion."
Subsequently, she spoke with full of energy.
" Wow! can we go now?" She right away slid down out of bed and forgot she still have the wound.
"Oh, careful Mag, haha. Come, let"s sneak and look for that cozy place and have our escapade. Sit back and you have to wear your shoes, bring your bag and put the journals inside. Afterwards, he carried her down and tied her hair with his hanky.
"Let"s drink "salabat" first before we go and I"ll bring your meds." The kitchen was silent and foggy so they first went nearer to the furnace to warm themselves.
" Cool! we can reach finally reach that place now. It could have been a gift for our wedding, what do you think?" George put his warm palms to both of her cheeks and she smiled.
" Its so warm." She gazed.
" Yeah." He filthily looked at her and smiled.
" Look! Its boiling now." Magee intervened his internal qualms and he then right away removed the kettle out of the three big stone stove. The bottom line, they enjoyed sipping the "salabat. When done, George went upstairs and slowly took the second journal. But Baldur woke up and spoke with eyes still close.
" What are you doin" here." Baldur asked.
" I"ll bring her to nowhere, but there. We"ll find out something.
He lie down on bed again and slept.
George smiled, silently left and when he reached downstairs he grasped Magee"s hand, heading to the northbound while its still dawn and foggy underneath the groovy place.
" Here, its here I guess where the trench began. But see what they did. They planted trees on top, though look at the trees above the trench compared to the nearby ones, they"re a bit smaller." He whispered while holding her hand.
" Hah! this place under the trees is so relaxing. But I"m chilling."
" Just rub your palms, like this - then put them on your face." He said.
" Okay, I will also put "bandana" to cover my head and neck." She whispered.
"Give it to me, I"ll put it on." He volunteered and he tied it for her.
The rocky wall was very serene. A little while, George prepared the rope for climbing. He has to climb first and pull her up and so they both reached the top past 6 o"clock in the morning.
"Wow! We"re here." Magee said.
" Look how the experts hid the granite covers, I mean all rocks look similar in sizes, you cannot guess if where to open those four optic holes so breathtaking!"
" George, come, kneel beside me and let"s take a closer look on this one, faster!" She said.
" Oh, here! I"ll pull this. One, two...three!" Then the small rocks he pulled had opened and one of the holes appeared on their eyes.
"Mag, I"ll tie this rope first here and if the place inside is safe, I"ll bring you down."
Magee was already excited to get down and he waited for him to come out, ay least around 30 minutes. She was already worried and teary eyed then she called him.
" George! George! where are you?"
" The rope has moved and he slowly emerged out of the hole and smiled at her. Come! you"ll see something different today." He removed the rope and brought het down first. He got back above and covered the hole again as he glided below.
"George! George! its too dark, where are you? I"m scared!"
He lighted the candle and put it on the granite table at the kitchen then he pulled the separate pulleys, one by one as the four granite optic holes above have opened.
Then there was light inside communing the entire place and Magee inexplicably smiling and was terribly amused whole her eyes were looking around.
" Wow!" She whispered and can"t believe with what she had just found inside.
She lobbied to the bedroom, bathroom and comfort room, kitchen, receiving area and at the bar she saw a lot of various wine on the array. At the kitchen Magee found so many canned goods, beside were pots and pans, granite bowls and plates and the lavatory has a flowing water by which George antic.i.p.ated that it has a connection from the spring water inside Malapague. Overhead was a pure granite ceiling mixed with mosaic designs. She then returned to the bedroom and scrutinized the matrimonial bed so smoothly designed and she even thought if how the rough rocks converted into a beautiful shiny nest. But when she reached to the kitchen she was really impressed by the flowing water, same goes with the comfort room and bathroom where everything you see is dolled up by a western concept.
She walked off toward George sitting at the receiving area still blankly smiling.
"Is this really ours?" She asked.
" Yes. Its in the journal."
" Hmm.. I will continue reading the journal" Magee smirked and took out the third journal from her bag while George pulled out some cloth, took a bucket and manually mopped it on the granite floor and walls. The flowing water had helped him removed all the dust around too. With a half day clean-up, George was down and slept on the matrimonial bed.
While alone reading the journal, she learned that at the back of the painting was the place of a small 3lens telescope facing the wooden house staged at the center and everywhere below. Since the house is higher than the trees so it could clearly see everything.
Since George was still sleeping so she removed the painting and used the telescope.
" Its blurred" Then she wiped the lenses with the hanky from her hair
" Great! I"m seeing everything so clear now.
