My nephew, Biboy, on top of the mossy rock. At the back: A little pond full frogs, croaking loudly at night. |
Pinagna mi iti lubo nga bingngang ken kinitkita mi amin nga madalanan - lawa-lawa, lamok, ru-ot, bulbullong, sabsabong, nagango nga sangsanga, billit, igges, alibot, ken ado pay nga haan ko managanan.
We passed by these shallow water. Nanay was cleaning Biboy's dirty boots. At the back are some bamboo plants. It's not ours so we never take any of the bamboo shoots. |
Mayat ken naragsak a kadua iti ubing. Makaado ka iti katawa kadagiti simple nga saludsod na ngem komplikado nga sumbatan no dadduma. Manipod rugi angginggana ungto idiay dalan, ado nga "ampay kastoy", "ampay kasdiay", "anya atoy", ken "anya adiay" iti saludsod ni kaanakan.
Look, it's a Sweetsop, commonly known as Atis in Filipino. He wanted to eat it, but it wasn't fully ripe yet. |
Our small farm. |
Napintas iti agpasyar idiay taltalon. Nagpariir iti angin nga agmalmalem. Nakaay-ayo nga makita dagiti pagay. Ado mapuros nga natnateng ken prutprutas. No nagaget nga agmula iti nakimbagi, kankanayun nga adda maani. No nasadot tao nga agmula, ay ke mangnamnama iti mayted ni karuba. Ngem addo latta mabalin nga makan. Makaala ka pay iti nateng nga agtubtubo lattan idiay kasuksukan ken paraangan - kasla parya a balang, u-ong, singkamas, saluyot no saan ket saguyepyep. Ken no adda iti kawayanan, rabong iti madi nga maliplipatan. No madi masiputan, takawen latten iti makadalan. Agkalaukan iti saluyot ken rabong, sagpawan lang iti intunno nga lames, naimas nga pangaldawen. No awan may tuno nga sida, ay ket agpauraga ka iti baboy lattan ahno saan agparti iti manok nga taraken, ayossen iti pangmalem. J
Uray simple panagbiag idiay probinsya, uray addo iti tsimosa, uray maawawayan iti kwarta, uray addo pay nga uray, mayat latta. Mabbiag ka latta nga naragsak no ammom agyaman kadagiti adda man nga inted ni Apo. Ken mabbiag ka latta nga a nasayaat no haan mo kabkabilen iti padam a tao. JJJ

Living
in the farm is not so bad.
If you knew how to utilize of what
you have; you will never have an empty stomach.
If you knew how to deal with negativity
like “tsismis”;
you will live peacefully with your neighbors.
And if you knew
how to be grateful for everything that you have;
you will feel truly rich and blessed.
One
day during the sunset years,
we will come to a point that we need to go back to where we started.
we will come to a point that we need to go back to where we started.
I want
to be that day in a "farm", to feel the freshest air,
see the unending green fields, watch the birds in the sky,
and hold the hands of my loving husband.
see the unending green fields, watch the birds in the sky,
and hold the hands of my loving husband.
