Container Van - hauling

We have this 40 foot container that we have been trying to get rid of for the past few months. It was only last June that we were able to sell it to a family friend. I was told that the container will be hauled out of our place today.

We all waited for it.

We all wondered how it will be hauled out.

At exactly 2:30pm - 3 vehicles arrived. 1 truck carried the forklift, another truck was for the container itself, and another was for the driver who led the 'team' to our place.

I think for about 30 minutes - all the work in our factory stopped. They all looked out and watched as the container was being hauled out.

I've never in my whole life seen anything like it! I thought that since I saw small forklifts hauling stacks of cases of San Miguel Beer - that, that was it - but it wasn't. It's a LOT different (and heavier!)..





Manong Operator - the choreographer



I admire and am impressed by Manong operator - the forklift operator who also choreographed the whole thing. Yes, apparently there needs to be a choreographer/leader who tells people what to do.

It was quite a tedious task. Since our factory was located in a not so big road - the challenge was how to have the truck - that will be carrying the container van - be driven inside the compound. Everyone thought it was hopeless - as they tried more than thrice to buwelta (maneuver) the truck inside. Then Manong Operator came up with a bright idea - he said that he will use the forklift - to lift the end tail of the truck - so it can move in easily. And it did! It was a sight to see!

Here are the pictures that I took - unfortunately - my camera's battery was dying and so the captures were somehow selective..

Bye bye container! We will surely miss you!!

Learning Mandarin, what method is best?

I studied in a sort of Chinese school for 13 years. So that "sort of' means, I SHOULD know how to speak basic Mandarin right? NOT QUITE!! I studied in a Chinese school where we only get less than an hour of Chinese class daily.  When you think about it, well - one hour a day, should be okay - but the problem is, at that time - it was pure memorization.  The books that we used, were those traditional books that I honestly have no idea what is written in them.  I see Chinese characters and they're just that - Chinese characters without meaning, nothing.  It was not practical if you ask me.  The words we were taught were not used in everyday conversation It was only during my 3rd or 4th year of high school that I realized how important knowing how to speak Chinese was.  It was during a trip to the Chinese border from Hong Kong that while I was going around the mall, I was having a hard time communicating with people who looked like me.  I wa...
