nanay's backyard - good fruits

Visited nanay. She sick with a headache. Looked plump, and the legs looked swollen. but still able to walk about. had dinner there.

The avocado tree in the backyard produced gigantic fruits, the first time he saw such big avocados, as big as a small papaya, weighing half a kilo.

The soil of the backyard must be very fertile. the guyabano tree also produced big fruits. also the papaya trees, big papayas.

the fruits in nanay's backyard are like her children, no particular care taken to nurture them, they just grew by themselves, to become what they are today.

gun nation - cool it

On a busy street, ric overtook a car and he was honked from behind. He did not make much out of that. After a few streets, he looked into the rear mirror, the car was there tailing him just behind.

At a traffic light stop where there's no other traffic, the car pulled over beside his, and out came a man, knocking at his window with a pistol.

Ric was alerted and reached out into the front storage compartment, and opened his window. Ric shouted to the man before the man could open his mouth, " you are loaded, I'm loaded as well. We better don't do anything stupid. I'm sorry to overtake you."

The man backed away.

Another incident many years ago when ric was still young and boastful, somebody overtook him out of no where in the highway. he was infuriated. He tailed the car for a few miles. and finally they stopped at the patrol station, and ric came out and moved toward the car, but before he could showed his pistol, he saw 4 men came out of the car, and there printed at the back screen of the car - PRO GuNNERS.

He halted his approach and went back to his car and drove off. That was the most stupid thing he has done in his life, he said.

philippines is a gun nation - like the US. you don't know who has it, so cool it!

Deal - finally

A deal is done. Good deal or bad? Only a prayer would act as an assuarance.

He lost some sleep over it. But the doubt had been clarified mostly, still doubtful on some aspects of the deal, like the water quality, the location...

but almost all doubts were cleared on further talking thru the phone.

the question - you don't love to ask

There he was drifting in the river of love with his sweetheart. the raft was not maneuvered; it had only one direction to go, towards happiness.

But it was only a sweet dream, and when he woke up, it turned into a nightmare.

"Did he ever fall in love?" The question haunted him. Suddenly love was the most important thing in his life that without it, life was meaningless. Just like an old bachelor waking up in the middle of the night to find out that he doesn't have someone beside him that he could give a hug. But he does have that someone, only, giving the good hug is still a question.

Imagine, when he calls it a day from this world, on judgement day, he's asked, " have you loved before?" He says, "I don't know." And fumbles, " I think so, but not the love...."
