Grandma Mary's House : One Last Look

- Опубликовано: 9 дек 2010
- I prepared this montage as a tribute to my Grandma Mary's house, which was built in the 1930's and will be taken apart over the next few weeks due to age and flood damage.
I offer this as a tribute to this remarkable woman, and to the Salao-Santos family as well, with whom I share so many precious memories in this house.

Found this long 7 years after your posted. Just goes to show the memory has lived on.
It's really hearth breaking to see this house turn into dust.
Thank you for, documenting your Lola Mary's house. I perfectly remember the house. I grew up in Malabon and I know your Tita Chona and Dandy. Nelson, your uncle, or your father? is a good friend and textmate. Yes, it is sad to see the house go. But as you said the memories will always be there. Yes it is sad to see the house go. But as you said the memories will always be there. Your Lola Mary was a beautiful and gracious lady who loved to dance.
Grandma Mary house should be a museum. Gorgeous.
so sad for what happen in this house with great architecture and fabulous stuff. its only shown how grand and glorious the past was. i salute your ancestors for building this magnificent house. its all amazing indeed.
This entire house and its contents are a dream come true. I wish people had the capacity to preserve it so that future generations could enjoy it. I'm so sorry for its loss.
What a beautiful memory. She must have been a special lady.
I HOPE that 7 years ago you salvaged all that beautiful art work and didnt let it go to trash
Enola Brown And pieces and parts of the house..doors, frames, stair railings, etc...
I sure hope so. There were some museum quality items there.
love this old house, they should have sold it to Sulyap Gallery Cafe for restoration.
they din't make this kind of architicture design no more
I am so saddened and teary eyed I'm so depressed of the seen thinking that this house cost million and a very beautiful details I really wish your family will restore this ancestral
cried watching this! So precious and yet so sad. I hope you kept some of the things from your Grandma Mary's home! So beautiful!
I did, too!
I cried, too
What a unique and beautiful home. SO sad to think it will be gone. Lovely video tribute to a lovely lady!
This was the most touching Memorial I have ever seen..it paints a picture of how good and loving your Grandmother Mary was, you could tell that she was a religious person and that it was important to her that others noticed that..her home was very Beautiful!!! And I so appreciate you sharing your memories with us..that made it even more special. Thank you again for the journey of your Grandmother Marys home...God Bless you.
This brought tears to my eyes, beautiful tribute
Kind of too late for me to comment. I just came across this video by accident. Never been so moved. I can relate to what you said. Definitely politics, economics and time will bring down a house. This house would have been perfect at the Casas Filipinas de Acuzar in Bataan (pre-WWII homes). My family's old homes suffered the same fate especially when Pinatubo erupted and we now only have pictures and memories of the past. No matter what kind of home, it's the family spirit that's never torn.
BEAUTIFUL...!!!!!
Beautiful! It must have been very sad to see it go.
From the look of the things inside this beautiful home, your grandma was the type that liked what she liked, and could care less about having everything pulled together as by a interior designer. I am very much like that myself. She had a lot of eclectic pieces that were simply beautiful. I hope the family managed to get all of these items out of the home before having to leave it completely.You have put together one of the most beautiful dedication memorial videos I have ever seen. Your love comes through the screen to affect every viewer. You are a very caring and special person. Thank you for sharing this beauty and your own with us.
William Roden Yes agreed !!! I've been a Floral Designer for 30 years. Nothing today has that feeling. I've always felt we need to do what we feel. It always comes out amazing. Not about money.
That is a pretty home
It was a beautiful home. I also hope that the furniture etc. was removed n maybe restored.
Sorry it all looks awful, lie to going to fall down, what a renga rojec
FYI: A few interior designers (myself included) collect beautiful, interesting things & hve studio space at home- eschewing the "cookie cutter" sensibility of an ideal looking home.
What a lovely tribute to your grandparents and to your ancestral home! Thank you for sharing this with all of us.

What a lovely and heartfelt tribute to your grandmother. I am happy that you have these memories and the best of all, the impact she had on your life. I feel sure that she helped shape you into the man you are today. When and if you have children make sure that they have as wonderful a childhood as you did.
Lovely tribute. I pray you were able to salvage so many of the beautiful things and architectural pieces in the house.
Thank You so much for sharing this personal tribute. Everything was exquisite and I am sure your memories are too.
What a wonderful tribute to your grandma. Her home was so beautiful and the furnishings are priceless. I hope you were able to retrieve some items. I could go on and on. The statues, the furniture, all the hand painted trimmings and your memories. Thank you!
I too hope you were able to salvage so much from that incredible home.what a beautiful video, made me cry with all the love you put into it.

It was so beautifully done I love this part
So beautiful, so warm. I hope much can be saved here. Loved the music! I certainly can see why you loved it! Thanks for sharing. . .
"Some Where In Time" perfect music . Beautiful home
Life was ao simple back then. Your lola was a nice woman. Just by looking at her house. & by he way you ralk about her. ❤️
I definitely feel the love in that house. Love your choice of music your bringing tears to my eyes remembering my own wonderful childhood with my family.
Simply beautiful
What beautiful memories you must have in this lovely place.❤ I would've loved to have seen some photographs of how it looked back then as well. Thank you for sharing.😊
One of my favorite videos on all of You Tube! Seeing the water toward the end made me really sad. You are so blessed to have had her in your life and to have these beautiful memories to treasure for always. Like some of the other commenters, I, too, hope you were able to save some mementos of this house and this remarkable woman. So sorry for what the area has had to go through. Once a place has mold like that, though, there's nothing to do but dismantle it. I love your grandma's taste! So eclectic yet followed a theme - which, I assume, was just her preference in things. God bless you and your memories of her!
How sad, so many memories! The house still looks amazing I can only imagine back then when everything was new. Love the music and if I were you try and save everything that you can so you can remember years from now. The pictures and the artwork tell a story please don't leave any of them. Best to your family & thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing. This video has inspired me to make some pretty boxes for my kids. You have BEAUTIFUL memories.
So beautiful! Your video amazed me and also made me soooo sad...I love old houses like this..
tres belle maison ,dommage de ne pas la restaurée ,très belle video aussi merci .
It's going to be taken down? Oh this is just to grand of a home! Such a beautiful video and memories u have! My grandma's house was no where near the lovely, but the love and good times we had ,I understand how you feel! Your grandma sounded like a wonderful lady! So sorry for the house, it's still stunning!
Your tribute to your Grandma touched my heart. I hope my grandchildren remember me with such love and gratitude. The music is beautiful. You are a special young man.
A grand house indeed! I wonder why the National Historical Commission could not help to restore ancestral houses like this...it's a big waste for this grand house to be torn down. Even the muebles are truly amazing...thanks for sharing.
Dei Garcia more than likely the couple of inches of water were a recurring problem and damaged the base structure.
It was a beautiful house. Love all the art work. Thanks for sharing.
I know this video was done a number of years ago but I just wanted to comment since it was such a beautiful tribute to your Grandma. She sounded like an incredible women.
Such gorgeous furniture in the house, paintings, and religious statues. I wish beautiful homes like this never had to be torn down. Grandma Mary was a very special person and she has a loving family. I hope everyone took pieces to remember Grandma by. It gives me comfort to hold things that my passed on relatives have left me. Love survives death. Thanks for sharing such a lovely home. 🌼🍀💮🌹
Beautiful house I loved the great big bedroom
She had a beautiful home!! Thanks so much for sharing this with us!!
Such a BEAUTIFUL tribute. I'm in tears. You loved her very much. Thank you for this heartfelt video ♥️
thank you for sharing her house w/us!....she seems like a a wonderful woman just by her color schemes & artistic talent & by what you have said about her. I hope you got a picture or one of the wooden pictures that made you laugh as a child(unless your people don't believe in that).

Thank you for that beautiful tour of you Grandma's Home.
it sounds like many happy hours were spent there.
I hope that she can take all her beautiful things with her, and find another home to Adorn with them, and may she have many more years of love and happiness.
It is always hard to say "goodbye" - but Love never dies. You made a beautiful video.
What a wonderful video! I wish that I would have had the thought to video my Grandmother's home before it was torn down years ago.
You did a really nice job of showing us the house and in filling in for us the parts of the home that reflected certain memories that you have.
The music was fitting for such a video; well done my friend and thank you for sharing your Grandma Mary's magnificent home.
I would have loved to see this with my own eyes thanks for sharing it was amazing
Wonderful!
I saw both videos over a year ago and had to come back today to watch them yet again. I felt sadness through this but I admire so much the filming of this wonderful treasure-filled house. Im so sorry that this place had to be destroyed. So many wonderful memories for you. Your grandparents live on in your heart. You captured my heart with this. Im sure I will return yet again to watch it a third time, I hope its still here when I do. Thank you
Found this video after ten years. Beautiful house and the memories
What a beautiful house. I started crying at the shrouded Virgin Mother, and the statue of Jesus. She must have been an amazing woman. I only pray my four grandchildren remember me with such fondness. God bless Grandma Mary.
What a beautiful memory. Thanks.

Very nice tour. My heart aches for you seeing this house in such disrepair and flooding
I loved this tribute! What a wonderful lady your grandmother was. She will always remain alive, with you in your heart. I can tell she was a very special lady and very lucky to have you as her grandchild. I’m sure she’s as proud of you, as you are of her. God bless you and Lola Mary.♥️
The house is magnificent, but I have to say, your Grandmother's extreme beauty out-shines it 100 times! God bless, and thanks for sharing.
I love this video. It's an amazing tribute to your grandmother.
