I used to bike when I was in my high school until college. But when I was already working , i didn’t anymore.
But once I am biking, I feel so light and carefree. And I was actually lighter by then.
So, does biking made you have your ideal weight?
My male officemate got fat so he turned into biking. Now, he is almost back to his former slim built.
He joined a biking group and they would bike long distances and have even went to our hometown. He was really into biking long before he got fat. However, he got lazy and didn’t bike anymore, and that made him fat.
So he is back to biking and he said that he would never be lazy biking again.

Wow! That’s a great achievement; you biked for 55 kilometers, and carrying that heavy backpack. Just be careful on the road.

What kind of mangoes do you have in your yard? Ours are only Indian mangoes, but they really are abundant this summer.
We have them in our own yard and they have lots of fruits. So, every after meal we would eat them sliced and we dip them in sauteed shrimp paste. But for the ripe ones we would just slice them and eat them as is.
In my parents’ house they have the “dayap” or lime and they are also fruiting. They also have the “kalamansi” , Philippines’ version of lemons. They also have the passion fruits and they have fruits also. Then, they also have guavas. They have “atis” also.
Summer can indeed be the season for these fruits and it is just one of the advantages of summer. Though, it’s the heat that I hate about summer, but I love the fruits it brings.

We have star apple mango which is a big hit when the fruits are just in the stage of growing and green.
We have this kind of mango that is like the combination of native mango and the star apple mango. The physical look is like our native mango but the fruit best to eat when it just beginning to yellow because it’s just so sweet. But when its ripe, there is some fiber in it which is not good to eat.
But now I’m growing some seedlings of caramay and lemon. Also I’m trying marcotting in the lemon and the caramay tree. We have also some seedlings of guapple which I hope to grow more.

So sad, we do not have fruits in our yard.We lack space unlike in the province. When our property was not sold we had many fruits like papaya, juicy jackfruit, pomelo, bananas, avocados, and Indian mangoes. How nice to see them turning yellow ready to pick.I missed those days in the province.

Maybe the next time you buy a lot you will look for some space where you can plant some fruit bearing trees.

There are lots of mangoes now; even in the market, they sell quite cheap. We are blessed with so much fruits all year round because of our climate.
