Fruit of my labor

This afternoon, I was out doing some gardening when I noticed the atis (sugar-apple) tree and its almost-riped fruits. The tree is 6m high and leaning on our neighbor's wall.  I looked closely and  I noticed the color is greenish-yellow, meaning: it's good to eat already. So I hurriedly grabbed the old wooden crib, positioned it upside down and stepped on it. Then I was able to climbed the tree. The said tree is in our backyard but the branches with the fruits on it are sort of hanging into our neighbor's yard. So I have to pick the fruits as quickly as possible with one foot on the tree and the other on the wall, before our neighbor could noticed who's the monkey climbing  on their very wall. Their barking dog wasn't helping at all. (Oh boy was he loud!)

Then I asked Suzy to catch the fruits using a basin. Thankfully, she did a good job and thanfully I didn't stir up the neighborhood. Now I can't wait to eat the fruit of my labor! ;-)

Sugar-apple fruit is high in calories and is a good source of iron.

Adoring gaze.



Today I was browsing through some old and recent photos of Suzy and I and here's what I noticed. Most of the photos have this one common denominator, i.e, my adoring gaze at her. Call it look of love? Well yes, but apart from that there is actually a  reason behind that look.

Okay so my family and I already agreed that she is quite amusing in  her own lil ways. One of these, well everytime I take pictures of her or people take pictures of us together, she would say she isn't interested or she is tired of it. "Pictures again? Ay, tsk! (with that lil snob look on her face) . But when the pictures come out, you would be surprised how entertaining her little poses turn out to be. So just before they say cheese, I think it became my regular habit to check on what she is up to before I face the camera. But well, most of the time, it captures this pose of myself, looking at her with an adoring and curious gaze.

And yes, that is the look of love and that is the story behind those pictures.

Say cheese!

And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her skies

I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial

I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?

I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you...
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind...
My mind...my mind...
'Til I find somebody new

Tonight.. is all Damien Rice's
