home is heaven
There's no place like home. Really. And I'm still home. The old woody smell of our cabinet, the sweet cold zephyr of the evening, the crowing of our roosters and the cackling of its hens, the warmth of the burning logs in a pugon-cooker, the ember of coal warming the "sinaing", the mosquito net and the cushioned "banig"-- these and more I will miss again when I go back to Manila two sleeps away. I just had bamboo shoots (tambo) cooked with "tagabang", "hipon", "kuhol" and "gata" for lunch and fresh pineapple for dessert. I can have this every day but it won't shake off my appetite. Why the hell, aside from being my favorite dish, it's lovingly cooked by my Nanay. Home sweet home-- its indeed heaven second to the real one!
