Monkey Reflex

          There's one thing that comes in my mind when I see horses roaming around in our backyard: free buko juice. Lacking the monkey reflex to climb a coconut tree, buko juice isn't something that I can enjoy on times when I wanted one (despite few coconut trees planted around the jungle). I just look up thirsty and drooling....and it ends there.


        Coconut harvesters still use horses nowadays. Few basketful of coconuts are worth about a few cigarette packs....father is always the beneficiary.^^





       I think having a pet horse is a good thing. Horses eat weeds...weeds grow and needs to be mowed...mower needs gasoline to function.





           The local term for coconut with hard meat (the one that usually hard to scrape from the shell) is called "magulang". The term "mura" is the one I prefer to eat with the juice. It has soft meat (mala-uhog) and can be easily scrape off from the shell.




           Dividing these into halves isn't as easy as swiping your thumb on a smartphone. There's no such thing as Fruit Ninja in real life....only spies.





"♪If you eat too much you'll get very....very♫.............I forgot the lyrics.
