To Arsenio: Yes i've eaten "ararawan" too. I like the small ones. Here are some of the foods i really long to eat. Bawat kain ay parang bibitayin na kinabukasan. Almost every morning ay kumakain ako nang binobudan (fermented rice). I like it very much that hinahanap- hanap ko tuwing umaga. It fills good in the tummy. Also all sorts of kakanin e.g. suman na nabalot sa dahon nang niyog, tupig na gawa pa sa Manaoag, linatian,kineled atbp. sa mga gulay naman ay talaga namang halos bilhin ko na lahat ang madaanan ko kagaya nang bagbagkong, bunga nang singkamas, saluyot, ampalaya, kang-kong (galing sa fish pond), sabong ti kalabasa, pultong, etc. Sa mga isda naman ay mga live tilapia (yan ang uso ngayon), gg, bonoan bangus ( 90 pesos/kilo, about 2 to 3 pieces). malaga (350/kilo),and some freshwater fish like dalag, paltat). I was lucky the mango season hasn't ended yet. As we all know, Pangasinan produces the sweetest mango in the world.You eat the ripe mango and suman and you're solve na. I was able to buy some chico on my way to Manaoag. Bihira na ang prutas na ito that i really have to buy some extra for the following day. Avocado is very inexpensive at talaga namang ito yong malagkit ang laman. Pinya is abundant too but i dont have craving for it coz i know mahirap madigest ito.Those are the things that we really missed here. I gained 5 pounds inspite of the fact that i was hospitalized for obvious reason. It's your turn to share stories when you go home for vacation.

So you frequented the backyard too?..Can't blame you, there were really lots of fruit trees for climbing there..Besides it was only Flor who was there, his parents were in Caloocan most of the time. Yes, I learned he succumbed from heart attack; I was already abroad then. I think his family was related to Apo Ferdinand Marcos. There was a rumour that he slept there one day during the war..We are never sure whether this is true or not..Maybe. Ex Pres. FVR and Apo Ferdie were also cousins, remember? Going back to Flor de Vera, we went to visit their property also in Urbiztondo: they have a cacao plantation there and the ground floor of the house smelled like Hersheys Cocoa !.They were converting the Cacao fruits into cocoa powder.Had real chocolate drink for breakfast the next day...Lots of good memories with Flor..may God bless his soul!

To Albert Manuel, Don’t worry she’ll reach your greetings. She’ll be here in San Diego tomorrow together with my wife coming from Los Angeles for the wedding of Juan Pascua Jr. (the eldest son of Mr. Johnny Pascua and Madam Fely Victorino) and Daddette Guerrero (the eldest daughter of Mr. Fidel Guerreo and Madam Elvie Manipon) both of the family from Poblacion West Asingan. Please accept our warmth greetings and congratulation both of you Juan Jr. and Dadette. Albert, thanks for the information and keep posting. To Manong Vic… I know Manong Florante and her Aunt Menang the Vinegar Maker. Yeah, you beat that’s the best Vinegar in town. I heard Manong Florante and her Aunt Menang are already passed, sad to hear that. I have lots of good memories from their backyard, That was our hide and seek playground with free fruits snacks. We kids love to play to that backyard and who wouldn’t? Their backyard was like a paradise a huge piece of property with full of fruit trees, huh! Well, those days can’t stop my self to be fond of. To Sammy… Lucky you, that was my fav too (PILAT) cooked with Nana Menang Venigar and Soy Sauce called Adobo. How about the adobong ara-rawan? Whew! I like that one too. Gusto ko nang umuwi, See you na lang sa December, if god’s permit.
