Pasalubong - Rambutan, Moron, Galletas, Jackfruit and DURIAN!

Today is one of the best days of my life :)
For a starter, my best friend is coming over...He would be teaching in ILS and DME specialization courses at Civil Aviation Training Center. He would be staying here for three weeks. That would mean three weeks of fun. Yehey!

And because he comes, I would have lots of pasalubong from Davao. Harvest season is nearing its end but fruits are still cheap at this time. Double Yehey! He brought seven kilos of Maharlika Rambutan. . And he has also brought pasalubong from his mom, who just came from Leyte - moron and galletas. It was my first time to eat a moron, and it liked it simply because of the rich chocolate filling. The galletas, I still have to taste.

My parents are also very thoughtful of sending me my favorite fruit, durian! That’s triple (and the biggest) Yehey! I can’t relate with its description of
tastes like heaven but smells like hell
because for me it tastes and smells like heaven. :P




And they also sent a large jack fruit (langka), approximately weighing 25 kilos. It cost Arneil (my best friend) P 1050 for excess baggage charge. My gosh, what an expensive jackfruit! My father insisted on sending the whole of it because it is not yet fully ripe and he said it was the last fruit this season. I reasoned with him last night that I could buy more of it here with the amount I’ll be paying for the freight. Yet he still went ahead of his plans and volunteered to shoulder the excess baggage fee. Sometimes, Papa can really be so stubborn. In fairness, the jackfruit in our front yard has produced sweet and thick-meat fruits. I hope this one is worth its price.

I'm still so full writing this. ;-)
