= ABOUT ME =

 

hi! i'm ness...my posts are most often beautiful (in my belief) passages from many and different enlightened and wise people who were able to jot down in simple text their ideas and idealisms. since i am not and was never really talented in writing or expressing my innermost, valued beliefs, ideas and values, i will let these passages be the more appropriate and able conveyers. besides, it was through these writers and their pieces from which i learned and formed my own values. so as i present to you these writers and their creations, i am also presenting to you a part of me..get to know me through them..

I noticed that fewer and fewer people have been giving out Fruitcakes during the holidays.
Or do we only have family friends who don't like to give it away?

Eh why not?!
Sayang naman...

Is it because they've become expensive?
Is it because fewer are being produced?
Have people forgotten that they can give away fruitcakes at the end of the year?
Or maybe..
People don't like to receive it, so they don't like to give it away.
Hmmm... Could be!

Sabagay, I never appreciated fruitcakes myself when I was younger.

First of all, they are fruity.
In my understanding then, cakes weren't supposed to be fruity.
They were supposed to be sweet...but not fruity.

Second, most of them were really hard.

Third, everyone was giving it away but only few were of good quality.
Kumbaga, madaming namigay ng fake. Onti lang yung orig kaya we were left with rock hard Fruitcakes on our Christmas dinner table as well as in our fridge.

The only thing I liked about them were their pretty packages.
Most of them came in gold boxes, others in native banig bags (the best to!)

As I grew older, the number of Fruitcakes on our Christmas dinner table began to lessen.
There were even Christmases when we had none.

Then, this year, someone finally gave us a Fruitcake again!
Excited nga ako eh nung nakita ko.
Tinanong ko kagad si ma kung kanino galing.
Kay Kapitan Pablo Lucas daw.

"AH SI KAP!!"

Naks, feeling close ako.hehe.
I was so happy kasi ang laki nung Fruitcake at mukhang moist at masarap!
When I ate a BIG piece of it, ang tamis!
Ang sarap pala neto!

Sarap ng WaLnUtS, CaShEw, FrUiTs at RhUm! Yum!
I relished every bite.
Sometimes talaga you need the absence of something in order to appreciate its presence.

Naisip ko nga, sana lagi ng mamigay mga people ng Fruitcake every year.
Actually, mas mabuti kung mas madalas mamigay ng Fruitcake mga tao.
Kahit nga semana santa, pag nagmomourn tayo, pwede pa rin mamigay ng Fruitcake.

Naapreciate ko na kasi Fruitcake ngayon.
Pero sana pag namigay tayo, Yung orig na para di lang natatambak.

Kayo din, try nyo kumain ulit ng orig na Fruitcake.
Namnamin nyo.
Pakalasahan nyo.
Pero most importantly, i-share nyo.
Better yet, mamigay din kayo ng Fruitcake.

Every Christmas, every okasyon...
Pero mas maganda, everyday.

Malay natin, may mapasaya tayong mga tao at i-feeling close din nila tayo.
Sabihin pa nila...

"AH SI (name natin) !!"

Tara, gayahin natin si Lord na Siyang nagbigay ng pinakamalaki at pinakamasarap na Fruitcake of all sa ating lahat.

Tara, lagi na din tayong magbigay at tumanggap ng orig na Fruitcake.

By the way, the title of this post is:

FRUITCAKE = LOVE

Happy New Year everyone!!
Bagong taon, Bagong ako...
