Nene,
Welcome to my humble site. It is nice to know another reader.
It has been a busy week but I will work on the article.
I have read Bobs site for years. When I found it about 2 years ago, I spent 2 weekends reading every one of his articles.
I do not know about Rick, I do not see him anymore. I guess he is just busy with family.

Ray,
It is my kind of joke. I do not like the smell or the taste, but many people do. If you like, enjoy, just do not offer me any

Bruce you said “Durain smells like unwashed sweaty man and tastes like rotting garlic”

I read somewhere that is tastes like heaven but smells like hell.

Can’t say I agree it smells bad and tastes worse

JohnRay,
Your story about your childhood is so nice. It remind me of my childhood when I would spend Christmas Vacation at my Lolo and Lola who linved in New York City. My Lolo was a diamond cutter and one day my Lola would take us into Manhattan Island and we would visit Lolo and I would watch him cut the facets on a diamond. Then we would go to lunch at a special type of resturant and then to a TV station where we would watch a game show as it was recorded.
Childhood memories are something to cherish forever.

Bruce the fruits mentioned by ceblogger are our favorites..I remember how our Lolo and Lola used to bring us those fruits from Mindanao to Cebu when we were still young. I also miss those times when we had our summer vacation there. Lolo and Lola had lots of fruit bearing trees.. Sometimes Lolo would plant banana and tell us that this particular banana tree is named after us. We would get very excited about it and brag about it to our other cousins back in Cebu… .. Such times…

I think the it’s in Unidos, Plaridel. A days journey from Davao.
