Nature Fresh

This entry is the continuation of the previous personal post Grandma's House where I used to stay. She is so close to the river and the falls that we enjoyed so much during my early days.

The river is so inviting, you can tell by looking at the picture at how green it is. The second picture is the Mantayupan Falls which now they developed to attract local tourists and people from other places in Cebu. I am glad to know they now have a restaurant and a place to stay in there for people who can't make it home in one day. 

The third photos is of the well that serves their source of drinking water of the residents of Gunting. It is a nature's wonder of producing pure, clean and fresh water to drink. I so missed this place. This is where I spent good days with my playmates...I am so anxious visiting back the place that made a great memory of my childhood.

My First Crush

Call me shameless for posting people here from the past. It's just I am overwhelmed of how a miracle moved people's lives through the use of a Facebook networking site. I never expected that I could find them on the internet after we parted ways 15 years ago. One boy or kid that stand out among the rest was Romulus Vidal who was my "first crush" ever.

He was the creature I had a crush on when I first noticed the opposite sex. I was only ten years old back then in my 4th grade I noticed him to be so cute, tidy looking and most of all well-behaved boy in school. Fifth grade we became classmates that is when my crush on him got stronger....my feelings for him remained as deep as I thought until we graduated grade school or elementary school. But during those three years I was infatuated with Romulus, I knew that he couldn't get a crush on me too for I wasn't the type of girl who can turn heads once boys see me. I was very dark, very skinny and unattractive back then...

But then there was this girl named Ivy Monterola who looked pretty in the eyes of many because she had lighter skin, beautiful face, knows how to carry her clothes well and it was pretty much a taboo in school that my crush got a crush on her...and she liked him too...how awful lolz..

Romulus was often referred to us or commonly known in school as "Rustom Padilla" look alike....

After our elementary graduation I haven't seen/heard anything from him until last night. One of our schoolmates tagged me Romulus' photos from her friend's list and voila! He still got the shy smile I fell in love with but he is darker and not so attractive anymore. I bet he's got breakouts or zits on his face now...
Perhaps it's true....I remember the boy but I don't remember the feeling anymore...after all it was just a crush...

Well, those memories I have had during my early years in this world were precious and it is always be a part of my being..until I die...

I Made Puto Maya Today

Puto Maya cooking today was a success I shall say. For the longest time ganiha pako ka puto that tastes really good to my taste buds. Jadyn loved it and ate half of the small bowl as her lunch and supper at 5 p.m. Looking forward for tomorrow's morning snack to match it with a very hot "sikwati" or cacao drink, whatcha call it!

This kind of filipino delicacy reminds me of good childhood memories when my mother or grandmother brought us to a small cafeteria after church to have some snack of puto maya and sikwati. Back then the cost of a small cup of sikwati was only 1.00 peso and a small platito of puto was only 2.00 pesos. After that delicious snack we had, the children were all happy heading home with full stomach from that simple treat to the cafeteria.
