Of apples and wine

[grazie7y]

Women are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt.

Instead, they sometimes take the apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy. The apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they're amazing. They just have to wait for the right man to come along, the one who is brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.

Now Men.... Men are like a fine wine. They begin as grapes, and it's up to Women to stomp the heck out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.

[Lorenzo]

Ah but there are some men who are very wise and will take an axe and chop down the tree and take all the apples for himself.

[grazie7y]

hahahahha you made me so laugh, Dodong!  you are indeed one of the smart young men I know, if not the smartest!!!

[hazel]

hahahaha dong Insoy! are you one of them?

[Lorenzo]

That, my dear Hazel, is a secret that only I know. What do you think?

[hazel]

Dong, you can't have all of them otherwise you'll get a terrible stomach ache.

[Lorenzo]

hahahahha you made me so laugh, Dodong!  you are indeed one of the smart young men I know, if not the smartest!!!

Haha

You know though there are men who are wise to cut an apple tree down, the process maybe troublesome, as it is common for hard apples to fall onto the heads of the chopper as he chops the tree down Sometimes, the assailant is even knocked unconscious--however--if his resolve is strong enough...

Well then, a treasure awaits him, diba? If not...then he leaves for home with a bruised head..

[Lorenzo]

Dong, you can't have all of them otherwise you'll get a terrible stomach ache.

Hahaha mao ba? Mo palit lang ta daghang pepto bismol to reduce the symptoms of gastritis LOL!
Joke joke ra..

[hazel]

hahaha here's the BI again.

[Lorenzo]

Ako sigoro im the one who tries to cut down the biggest apple tree and after cutting the apple tree...the tree lands on me. Aguy! What a short-lived reward, no? Hahahaha!

This is precisely why many single lady lawyers have trouble getting married. Men are afraid to court them because they are afraid they may be inadequate.

[grazie7y]

Dong, I'd love to have kukabildo with you but I got to sleep na coz it's 1 p.m. already but I will sleep with laughter in my heart kay lingaw kaayo ko sa atong exchanges karon with Hazel re of apple and wine. 

Be careful lang so that the tree you cut is not gonna fall on you.

Korek GEC!  But with Dong Enzo, payagon man daw nya ang apple tree! hahahah good night, GEC, Dong Enzo and Ginger!  Until tomorrow!

Now Men.... Men are like a fine wine. They begin as grapes, and it's up to Women to stomp the heck out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.

In the film "A Walk in the Clouds" starring Keanu Reeves, only married women were allowed to press the grapes (with their feet) in order to produce the best wine.

In another film (I think it was "The Curse of the Pink Panther" starring Peter O'toole as the bumbling Inspector Clousseau [late 70s or early 80s film]), the women who pressed the grapes were virgins and they did it giggling and without any clothes on.

[Lorenzo]

hahaha Good night Ate Ging! God Bless,

Always,,

hahaha, 'te, then i am hoping that the woman I will someday call as my wife will not 'stomp' me too hard. LoL!

In that case, 'te, mo wear lang ko ug helmet, eh?

Cute message though, 'te. I'll keep this in my mind next time I go 'apple' picking.

hahaha Dong, you'll do good! Just don't get a woman as huge as you are!   

[Lorenzo]

hahaha! huge heart lang 'te

[grazie7y]

you got a huge heart, dong, so you deserve no less!

[Lorenzo]

My darling Ate Ging,

my heart is not compared to your goodness. Ikaw pa, you are probably one of the biggest hearts in our TB Family.

And I attest to this personally. You have brought many smiles and happiness to many hearts.

If I find a wife that is as beautiful and loving as you 'te, maluuy ang Ginoo, I would be a very happy and complete Man.



Your Big Little Brother,

[grazie7y]

My dear big lil brother Dodong,

Thank you for your kind words, Dong!  But I am sure you know already by now that I won't hesitate to stomp men like the grapes in the wine metaphor!   Bitaw, I am sure whoever will become your wife to spend the rest of your life with, you'll be blessed and your wife would be equally blessed.  You are such a responsible young man and yes, very kind and gentle.  You are an example of a gentle giant! hahahaha

Love you, Dong!

Forever your Ate Ging

BOC...very nice!  I thought women are considered as wine...."the older they are the better".  Compared as an apple.....if the right man is just staring up...I will possibly fall down regardless of getting hurt.  No risk no fun!

[Lorenzo]

Experience tells me that when you go apple picking, don't forget to bring a helmet.

Sometimes, an apple manages to fall on one's head.

So better to come prepared, eh? eh? hahaha!

[Jang]

An apple a day keeps sadness away.

[Lorenzo]

An apple a day?

Well, that's one great source of Vitamin A, B and C.

ABCs. haha.

[grazie7y]

I love all those foods, Dong!  I have a thing for Pinoy kakanin jud!  You know what, Tia Edna (Alyssamarie/Smiffy's Mom) makes the best leche flan.  It just simply melts in your mouth but sure cholesterol and calories are unimaginable! lol

[bonbonquest]

Ate Ging,

My mom makes really good cassava cake and Leche Flan. And yes, Ube Jam. Lots more that I forget the names, hahahaha!

ahhhh!!!... LECHE FLAN!!!!... I love that stuff... huhuhu.. nag-crave na hinuon ko dah... grrr... I'll go order some right now... hahahah!...

and my mom makes great Ube Jam.. kinampay... aw, Bran.. naa diay pud mi Ube,, i forgot to mention.. heheheh!

[grazie7y]

Bon, kinampay inyong ube?  Wow, kalami ana oi!  Lami na gani bisan regular lang na ube tapos lutuon sa kinaraan na way which we call "lunawon"!  Mura lang bitaw na sya i boil after na gipanitan then gi cubes.  You eat it with the broth and of course the ube dayon butangan sugar. yum o!

[bonbonquest]

Bon, kinampay inyong ube?  Wow, kalami ana oi!  Lami na gani bisan regular lang na ube tapos lutuon sa kinaraan na way which we call "lunawon"!  Mura lang bitaw na sya i boil after na gipanitan then gi cubes.  You eat it with the broth and of course the ube dayon butangan sugar. yum o!

Basta ube and especially freshly harvested ones, aguy kalami!  Pohon ha mang harvest ta sa inyong farm!  Gimingaw na jud ko'g kaon ug ube! Mantinir lang mi dire ug bottled ube halaya!

[Lorenzo]

hahaha Bon, of course my dear friend, I LOVE leche flan. My mom and my Auntie Beth make really good leche flan. But Mommy makes hers sweeter kai she puts extra carnation milk. She cooks it Valencia-style hahaha.

It is medically unhealthy food. Pero, i don't care because it is one of those 'bad' foods that is just impossible to not eat. You know what I mean? hahaha

And ube jam. Whenever Mommy cooks that stuff, theres none left cuz Daddy usually eats it hahaha.

But yea ube jam and cold milk tastes good man. I used to eat that stuff back when I was a kid in Valencia. Hahaha..good ol' memories.




This is why I need to find me a Boholana wife in the future. hahahaha!
