I will see you in my Dreams novel Chapter 6

Visit the aeta's in Tarlac.

The Aeta people in Tarlac are often grouped with other Negritos. The Aeta are the descendants of the original inhabitants of the Philippines. According to Spanish observers, Negritos possessed iron tools and weapons. Their speed and accuracy with a bow and arrow were proverbial, and they were fearsome warriors. Unwary travelers or field workers were often easy targets. Despite their martial prowess, however, the Aeta's small numbers, primitive economy, and lack of organization often made them easy prey for better-organized groups.

Hannah took a lot of pictures for her documentation and writings.

It was a tiring but very productive day.

"Cold beer and bbq is a good appetizer before dinner, " Chito said. "I will prepare the bbq" Rico volunteered. The guys join in.

Chie was cooking pinakbet [vegetable dish] and adobo. "Great combination Chie….like that" Gie is excited to help.

While Chie is cooking with Gie and the 2 chefs are baking some desert and making avocado shakes….the rest of the girls play cards on the dining table while Hannah is doing some writing and editing of the photo's taken. Everyone's busy with their own tasks.

Ari arrived with Jack and Sam. They joined the guys for a cold beer while waiting for dinner. Ari with a cold beer on hand went straight to Hannah and kiss her on the forehead. How's the trip? Did you enjoyed the farm? Ask Ari.

It's wonderful. I took a lot of photo's, I am editing some of the pictures to make it more crystal clear, I need those at 500dpi, showing Ari the photos. I liked the humanmade lake, the ducks and colored fishes, the positioning of the benches. It was so peaceful there. The management was so friendly, they offered snacks and it so happens that those were my favorite, I asked more chocnuts for to go…..Aletha was so generous to gave me a bunch and lots of lots of avocados. I asked our chef to make avocado shakes as after-dinner snacks. It was an awesome afternoon visit….my kind of homey place to live.

The sound of your voice, the excitement, I gathered that you enjoyed it, Ari said. Yes, so happy. Very productive. I got more photos to edit for my blog to post and the novel I started to write. Hannah answered with a big smile on her face.

Are you busy here, or do you have time before dinner to talk? Ari asked Hannah

I can do this tonight; you're here already, you'll have my undivided attention, Hannah teases Ari.

Let's take a walk outside, Ari suggests.

Hannah close her laptop and went out for a walk with Ari.
