At 7 yrs old I tried it and i burnt my tongue and my mouth,lolzz. This is my moms side. They had a farm, fish pond (catfish and milkfish),poultry, raised all kinds of animals and a lot of land with a big iron gate. And they lived in a huge hut mainly made out of bamboos and coconut leaves. Grandma would peel the rice by tossing them over and over with a flat basket. The carabao/caraboo or water buffalo was use for farming (hes so tired he passed out with his tongue hanging out). It moves real slow but it can carry a big load and used for tilling the soil. And my sisters would dance to bamboos (tinikling dance-derived from tikling bird who would walk between twigs and the bird looked like he was dancing).And I always rode my bicycle and won every race. The rooster is used for cock fights a very big event in the Philippines. I added a a butterfly,chicken (im debating if i should put a worm on the roosters mouth),dog (swimming in the fish pond),pig,cat,tikling bird,2 lizards,spider with a big head ready to attack the chicken,snakes ( and a 2 headed snake. Oh yeah and a fish and good luck on finding it,lolzz. These bananas have to be boiled first then they can be eaten. The room on the left has a painting and stairs. The other room has a mirror and mosquito net on top of the bed posts. And the property had a high cement fence (keeps the thieves away - they steal dogs,cats, any animals for food - and they steal tropical fruits). One of my uncles shot a thief and killed him. Anyway the colors on this oil painting are a lot richer and vibrant in real life. All my grandparents have passed. Sorry the hen and bananas hanging from tree got cut off from camera.
