Fruits on the road going to Mt. Popa

Strawberries. *** Grapes. *** Grapes, Banana, Guavas. *** Bananas, strawberries, Guavas. *** Banana *** Not a pomelo, I'm sure. *** Jackfruit crossbred with Marang. The peelings look like jackfruit but it peels like marang. The smooth texture in the mouth is marang while the smell is jackfruit. Awesome best of both world. ***  Papaya and Guavas *** Papayas. *** Must be sugarcane wrapped in some dry leaves? ***

My gift to Tin and Mookie on their wedding: "I wish your young love sweet joy"

*** I wish your young love sweet joy* For Ma. Christine Antonette and Mark Partrick 1.25.2014 I wish your young love will grow like a raton planted in a potent soil, Or will thrive like cut canes inches above the ground. I wish your growing love will mature like newly cut cane turned into molasses; Or will be purified like the crystal white sugar. I wish your maturing love will survive like a cane standing despite the slashing, Or will triumph like a cane shooting despite the burning. Above all, I wish your surviving love will nourish each other like sugar bits compacted into cube, And will flourish like sugar giving sweet joy to a home in every way. *copyright 2014 by Gerlie M.

Pang us tubo! (munching sugarcane)

One of the best sugarcane strains is called la carlota... It is robust with purplish green peeling and quite expensive and a delicacy back then. Pang us is exclusive hiligaynon term for eating or chewing sugarcane and extracting its juice while it is still in the mouth! Munching is not an exact translation of pang us but it can do... Here is my nephew munching his sugarcane stick and the remnant of his chewed and juiceless portions.... Munching tubo is a happy childhood activity which is great to be revisited from time to time by a "batang negros."
