"Turn it inside out and see what it is like what it becomes like when old, sick, or prostituting itself. How short lived the praiser and praised, the one who remembers and the remembered. Remembered in some corner of these parts, and even there not in the same way by all, or even by one. And the whole earth is but a mere speck". —MARCUS AURELIUS, MEDITATIONS, 8.21 In my five decades on this planet I’ve lived long enough to sample a good variety of the experiences life has to offer—wins/losses, frailty/strength, euphoria/despair, loyalty/betrayal, and both good/bad fortune.

]( ▶️ Hello Hive friends! I hope you all are having a beautiful weekend! ? Not so long ago I already wrote about Suman na Kamoteng Kahoy, so in the meanwhile you all should be already real experts of Filipino food, hehe. This time I write again about the same kind of food because I have created a nice new video for you!
