My true "Farmville"

Hi,

It's been too long since my last post here. Quite busy in my work, hehehe
joke lang, tinatamad akong magpost eh. Anyway, my post today is regarding
what I've done last Sunday October 25, 2009. I had my facebook account, I
love playing "Farmville". Last Sunday, I realized after playing it, that I'm
already doing some farming since I'm a kid. During my elementary and
secondary period, I already was doing it because it is part of my subjects.
I remember when I was in Lumban Central, each grade level, gardening is part
of it. We were cultivating our own plot of soil beside our classroom,
because our school is very big and most of it is vacant. Our school is
located at mountain slope so the set-up is like an old school in a village.
There are lots of trees and fields, and a hills going to top of it, where
you can almost see the whole town of Lumban and its nearby town including
the Lumban River and Laguna Lake. I remembered way back then, we spent our
time resting at that place with my classmates and old friends. It's a good
and nice place. When you are at top of that hill, at your front is the old
town of Lumban, while at your back is the majestic mountain of Sierra Madre
and the Caliraya-
Lumot Hydro Electric Power Plant, the oldest dam in the country. It's a
historic place and a park inside it, attract more people every morning to
play basketball, jogging, biking, swimming, and lots of activity including
picnic. While in my high school life at Lumban Academy, gardening is just
part of CAT and Boy Scout. I remembered our days in Sitio Lacao, where the
new building of our school is located. We plant vegetables there. The air is
fresh, and "magubat talaga", because it's far from the town proper and still
under urban development. Sometimes to be getting there fast, we ride at boat
(banca) at the front of church then walk through the school. School is near
at Laguna Lake shore, so sometimes we go there to relax and sight seeing.

"Napakwento na ako", it supposes to be about my new hobbies, because last
Sunday, I planted newly grown bell pepper. I saw it our backyard. So I
decided to take care of it and transfer the siblings to a small pot. It's
like a nursery for the young plant. Then my plan is to transfer it again
after they were growing enough to stand by them selves. I just got this idea
from "Farmville". Instead I waste my time on internet, just focused my free
time in plants. I had lots of plan for my next week gardening activity.
Maybe I should start planting small like tomatoes and mustard. I remembered
again when I was young; I already planted vegetables in our backyard
including tomatoes, pechay, mustard, bitter ground, squash, okra, sitaw,
monggo, eggplant. I also try to take care grapes, but didn't succeed. Hahaha
I raised also ducks,chicken,bird and mouse when I was a kid. "nakakatuwa
kasi napalaki ko sila". What a good memorable young experiences.

Memories are still memories and become part of the past. Through your
journey in life, it adds more and more of good and bad memories that you
will cherish and can't forget, wishing that some of it may be back or erase.
But for me, I must be content for what memories I have and just cherish it
through my life.

Here's the sample picture of my plant. Hope you enjoy............until next
week for updates.
