me and my ox...

you've probably heard of the amazing race season 5 leg in the philippines and maybe you've actually watched some episodes. just some minutes ago, we were watching some video clips, well, that's all we could get because they don't televise it here. rish is actually planning to buy a dvd copy. well, she needs to pass around a form to collect signatures then submit to CBS or to whom it may concern convincing them that millions of people out there are dying for a dvd copy. then after a month, i'll just go to virra mall and get a copy :-).

anyway, what caught my attention in one of the video clips is the ox, or so they call it but to us Filipinos is a carabao, and the plowing in the field. that scene reminds me of my farming days. still vivid in my mind the times i wrestle with the plow while maneuvering and forcely catching steps to keep up with the ox's pace. i also did experience plowing with a hand tractor, that is a lot easier to handle but shakes your entire body that after the work you feel like you've been electrocuted.

i have had so many experiences with plowing, fields and carabaos, it actually feels just like yesterday, but this is all i want to share for the meantime :-).
