Welcoming 2010!


I just love this photo so much I had to write something about it. It looks so vibrant and enticing (for me) I couldn’t help but put it on my blog.

To welcome the new year it is a Filipino tradition to serve a basket of fruits (at least 12 different kinds) to symbolise hope for a prosperous year ahead. We went overboard and bought 13:

Guyabano (Soursop)
Rockmelon
Cherries
Pears
Lychees
Blueberries
Mangoes
Grapes
Lime
Strawberries
Nectarines
Navel Oranges
Apples

I wish everyone a healthy and blessed 2010!

Happy New Year! I didn't do the 'cramming 12 grapes in mouth' during the countdown this year but I made sure to have a lot of 'bilog' foods. Hope it means a lot of good fortune for 2010!
