Back from "Perlas ng Sinilangan"

Yes...I am definitely back from the Philippines. It was such a short visit. It was like I just got there, and all of a sudden, I have to prepare again coming back to Alemanlandiya. AS in BITIN!

Anyway, while there, I think I only visited my site a couple of times and only for a few minutes. I didn't even bother to post or tag anything. I didn't plan it that way din naman kasi. My purpose of going back there is to enjoy what I was missing while in Germany. I had no intentions of doing what I do and enjoy while in my current host country. Eh, ano! Di parang hindi rin ako umuwi ng Pilipinas?!

Anong ginawa ko doon? Well, let me see:

** Ate as much as I could of fruits like: Lanzones, Rambutan, Mangosteen, Marang & Durian, to name some.
** We went on a long, unplanned road trip from Manila to Dipolog City!
** Of course we also had our Ilocandia Tour & feasted on Vigan longganisa.

Yeah, I know, most of the time I was eating there, hence, I gained a lot of unwanted pounds again. Even hubby made the remark quite bluntly. Couldn't help it. I would not be able to enjoy the same after some time...probably after two years pa ulit, so why not help myself to them while there na nga.

For now, I am back in Germany and the first thing I noticed while here at home for some hours is the SILENCE! Total silence, except when I have the internet radio on and listen to OPM pa rin.... of course! Just a few hours ago, I was asking hubby if the neighbors are there. Coz I would really appreciate any noise they will make at the moment, just so that I don't get home-sick. Ano ba naman yan! I should start doing what I have to do before I go back to work. Some household chores like the laundry, which I have plenty, plus the cleaning, coz the house is definitely dusty, awaits me. On top of that, I still have some errands to do, like post replies to certain mails, get hold of some people who has been trying to reach us for some weeks now, bloghopping (hehehe! ;) siyempre!!!), etc., etc.

wow...mukhang hindi ko pa nakita yang dinescribe mo..anyway, mukhang masarap (nai-imagine ko ang guyabano!) my mom comes from iloilo, merong prutas na kamukha ng langka pero ang tawag nila camansi, hindi ko nakitang hinog yun, kasi ginugulay nila na parang ginataang langka (di ba ang langka kapag niluto sa gata hindi hinog?)...anyway, maraming salamat sa decription!
mabuti na lang nag-enjoy ka sa bakasyon mo! ^o^

to annabanana:

expert ako sa pag kain nito at hindi sa pag di-describe. pero, subukan ko na rin...

ang marang ay isang prutas na hawig ng langka ang panlabas, pero maliit lang siya. hindi siya lumalaki tulad ng langka. bilog ito at kung hinog na ay malambot lang ang balat niya kaya madali lang siyang buksan. sa loob nito, ay may maraming buto na nababalot sa puting laman o pulp. ito lang ang kakainin sa marang, tulad sa langka na may maraming buto na medyo malalaki at nababalot ng dilaw ng laman na siya namang kinakain. (este, pwede palang ibilad ang buto n ito at pagkatapos ay i-prito.)

mabango din ito. kaya lang hindi ko na alam kung paano i describe ang amoy nito, nyehehehehe!!!

take care!
