THE NEXT ACT

Most of time you would never know how special a close one is until somebody notices it for you. In our backyard, we got two trees both of which are full of oranges. “Hitik sa bunga” is a Filipino term for it. It has been for several weeks that oranges of both trees so shining in the pursuit of attention. Over mature fruits kept on falling and we kept on throwing them in the rubbish bag.
