Raft3r’s job has taken him all over the Philippines, the US and even the remote Marshall Islands.
Next week, I am off to Clark Air Base. Pretty exotic, huh? (Of course, Raft3r is being sarcastic.)
Mom is from Pampanga. So this trip is a chance to bond with relatives I haven’t seen in ages. I spent most of my childhood summers there.
Prior to Pinatubo, mom and her siblings had a farm.
We had livestock and fruit bearing trees. We swam in a swamp with carabaos. We were paid by the elders to help harvest sugar canes.
Kids were forbidden in the dirty kitchen since snakes were often found there. To say it was Raft3r’s favorite hiding place would be an understatement.
It’s hard to imagine Raft3r as a rural kid but he did enjoy roughing it with his cousins.
Thirty years later, my idea of roughing it is getting stuck in a hotel room with no cable TV.

this reminds me of my childhood life. bahay namin noon was surrounded by rice fields. summers days were not pretty exciting coz we spent all day in the field, taking care of the rice not to be eaten by the rice-eating birds.
have a safe and wonderful trip then..

wow ganda ng memory! yung mga simple naman talaga kapag in-appreciate ang cool-cool talaga.
dati mayroon kaming maisan, kamotehan (sic), at babuyan sa likod bahay namin. ni wala akong ginawa kundi kulitin ang lolo ko na ipagihaw ako ng mais at bigyan ako ng bayabas.
sumasama rin ako sa pagtutulak niya ng kariton pag pumupunta ng palengke.
