Long
weekends call for a time to be involved again to things that I used to pass by
when I get to busy Aurora’s Kitchen and dessert orders. I was supposed to leave
for a Compostela Valley province trip but due to unforeseen events I did not
continue with the trip.
Finally I have enough time to do gardening and visit the farm. Early morning on Friday
was spent repotting ornamental plants that will soon be integrated to Aurora’s
Kitchen new look.
After
breakfast, we all went to the farm to check on the construction of the pigpen
we are building. Then Sissy, Browie & I went around the farm to start
planning for the developments we will be introducing soon. It feels good to
spend time in the boondocks, memories of my childhood came in a flash; running
after Lolo Indo’s “karas,” climbing guava and cashew trees, catching fish from
the river and taking a bath in the “bobon.”These are memories of my childhood
that I want the future generations to experience, through Pedro’s Farm
Experience.
Saturday
is more relax, up early for my Saturday “pamalengke” in Marbel Chinatown. After
breakfast we went for a morning walk to Tita May and Tito Dok’s MGM Garden
Ornamentals along National Highway in Brgy. Crossing Rubber, Tupi, South
Cotabato. Here we get to listen to the African lovebirds and see the beauty of
potted sunflowers. We even picked catmon fruits, a fruit used as souring agent.
Life
in Mindanao is still the best. Despite the adversities, Mindanao remains to be
the land of promise for me.
