Unlike Cebu, Osamis is very peaceful.
Except for the city center, you'll find this kind of rural landscape everywhere you go.
I wake up in the morning to the sound of various birds chirping.
The chickens are definitely the noisiest, but you can also hear sparrows and the chirping of tropical birds.
And from evening onwards, you can hear the sounds of various insects, including crickets.
Construction is progressing on the house, with blocks being laid down.
If there is a shortage of blocks, Gigi will order more, and they will be delivered like this.
This is a lumber mill.
It seems that they will start building the ceiling from January 25th, once the blocks have been stacked.
Unlike in Japan, the process doesn't seem to follow the steps of foundation work - pillars - roof.
At home, my bed has become Gigi's office.
Checking purchase orders and deliveries, confirming the next day's schedule, etc.
Lily waits patiently until Gigi finishes work.
However, we need to reduce Gigi's stress levels.
(1) There are many major projects lined up.
(2) The stress of handling large sums of money
(3) The worries of protecting Lily's dad from unfamiliar environments
(4) Management of people such as people who come in and out of my home for personal reasons or construction workers
(5) Consider future life plans and think about business prospects.
It seems that these five factors are working together to cause stress.
