Guava is a tropical fruit usually found in provinces and a great source of dietary fiber.

One day, I saw a seedling grown in our front yard. I take care of it and happily watch as it grows.

I finally harvested its fresh fruits. I brought them to my coworkers in a manufacturing company and like me they enjoyed it.

I hesitate to bring them to my coteachers in my new employment thinking that they don't know the fruit and dislike it coz it is rarely grown in the city. I ask them but amazingly they also love it, so I bring them if I have time to pick.

This guava tree in our front yard reminds me of my father who passed away 2 years ago. During my childhood, it is arule to sleep after lunch. I pretended sleeping but when he already aslept, I went down and searched for guavas returning home with bruises. He put betadine and reminded me not to do it again coz maybe I'll loss the prevelige to become Miss Universe or a stewardess as one of the requirements of having fair legs. His loving words I copied in telling my only daughter to take care of her legs.

During hours of doing bringhome paperworks, 
instead of stretching, I pick ripe guavas and eat. Today of having no classes after the Sinulog, I pick, eat and do Steeming.
