--FOR THE TIMES THEY ARE A CHANGIN' --
- Life moves on and things change whether we like it or not. Bulging waisltines and wrinkles come a calling, we can't hold that, it's a given and it comes with age...
--Nothing is permanent in this world, the mighty ones come a tumbling down, the poor become rich, even the lowly SAYOTE can change lives!
... -- Wanting to have some diversion, i embarked on a childhood dream of planting vegetables and eventually to be able to harvest them for food. As a boy raised in the City, i never had the Chance not until now that i am a boy again, after 50 years!
--And so having been blessed to buy an open lot at Tam awan,Pinsao in Baguio wherein i could utilize to realize my dream, i started to try my hands at wielding a hoe and driving a shovel to make plots in which to plant beans and pechay, etc.
-- Burdened by my aching back and blistered hands i am forced me to seek help. Well, it is that after our boys did all the Manual work, i was able to plant my dream vegetables. Talk of late Bloomers.. well, tilling the earth is therapeutic, i feel as if as i said, i'm a young boy again.
-- God gave us the earth that is so abundant, it's an - all in- deal. All we need to do is make something productive out of it and it will give us rewards. It will be both spiritually and financially.
-- I love to see Norman, a neighbor in Tam-awan who is always jolly. Well why not, he found out the key to happiness is in maintaining a SAYOTE yard wherein he harvests --The fruits of his labor-- The sayote grows so fast that he harvests and brings them to market almost every other day---IN STYLE! for with his Sayote earnings, he was able to buy a Brand new Motorcycle! A thing not possible before. Times have really Changed.
-- Now, Norman goes to market with ease. Talk about the lowly Sayote that grows everywhere in Baguio. We used it as a target for our Slingshots in my younger Days, my mother used it to feed our Pigs and would you believe? -- it sustained a lot of students who came to study in Baguio when their food allowance was spent for something else.
-- Sayote is best when cooked with aloy-oy and ok-okneg. (an Ibaloi Delicacy).. Aloy -oy? ok-okneg? --what are these? Do ask any ibaloi Karambak, they know..
