ASEAN Hive Community Challenge #34 "My Filipino Fruits"

Hello Hivers specially here in this wonderful community. First day of the month of December and this is also my first time to write here. I want to participate in this contest hosted by sir @justinparke and heres my entry.

Meet my youngest daughter Ria she's three years old and she loves to eat fruits. Specially those rambutan and lonngan when hubby has a spare he makes sure that he'll remember to buy fruits for our little one.

Ria's favourite

When those fruits are not seasonal they are a bit pricey. But because Ria is adorable hubby can't resist to buy this for Ria. And for a long period of time I never seen Ria waste this fruits. She likes its natural flavours and sweetness.

Hubby's favourite

Hubby told me that when he was young his father is a driver of watermelons. So before it went home he will assure to bring five to six watermelon for them. Because if not they will surely argue, sometimes it's sour sometimes it sweet. And as hubby grow old he can already tell if the watermelon is sweet or not even it's not already open. He told me that I need to look at the stem if it's fresh or already dry.

Mom's favorite

I grew together with this Bananas I mean mom never lose bananas at home. It's her breakfast with rice and vitamins and she's ready to go in the office. I also eat bananas but not like mom she can eat it everyday. After I gave birth she told me eat this regularly because it's very rich in potassium. And I need it to replenish my strength.

Celebrating New Year

We Filipinos have traditional beliefs that before welcoming a new year we need to prepare 12 to 13 kinds of round fruits. It's symbolices wealth and prosperity. Mom also said thats it's better to fill all the spaces of the table with food so in the whole year we could receive abundant blessings. And I believe her because she accompanied it with hardwork.
