At their peak, each bunch is only php20. i miss that price here in manila! my grandfather taught that to me when i was little by “magically” guessing the number of seeds inside a mangoosteen. when i would ask how many seeds would be in a particular fruit, he’d take the fruit from me and turn it over and over, his face in a very convincing meditative frown and declare: “singko!” or “siete!” and always, he’s right. good thing he broke it to me afterwards. haha in Zamboanga, though, it’s hard to pick each mangosteen and turn it over because they’re sold in bunches of around 20-24 pieces.

I've been reading your posts and the comments for an hour now and I find myself chuckling every now and then. jade186, betty q. and moni: i don't know how to explain it but i can tap and shake coconuts and know what's inside right away. i can determine if the coconut is maayo, bungol, sagay, or gilakdan sa buwan. i think i learned this from my brothers when i was a kid. we used to "harvest" coconuts from our neighbor's hacienda while we pasture carabaos on summer afternoons back then and i thought everybody knew how to do it. i guess it comes with growing up in the farm, you just sort of "know" things without really understanding how. oh, and i noticed this has nothing to do with mangosteen! lol hello MM, this blog is very interesting.
