Now I'am eating a balut.

I’m not eating a fertilized duck egg since the day I born. I hate balut (fertilized duck egg). Maybe because my dad has 10 chickens. I grow up with those chickens. But my workmate said the balut can make you strong and healthy. I try to eat balut even thought I hate it. Its taste good but the chicken I didn’t eat. 10 months later the chicken in the balut I always eaten but with a beer and I drunk. For those who didn’t know the balut. A balut (in tagalong word) is a fertilized duck egg with a nearly-developed embryo inside that is boiled of egg with yellow part, hard white part, hair of little bird and the bird itself. They are considered delicacies of Asia and especially the Philippines. Popularly believed to be an aphrodisiac and considered a high-protein, hearty snack, balut are mostly sold by street vendors at night in the regions where they are available. Balut are most often eaten with a pinch of salt, though some balut-eaters prefer chili and vinegar to complement their egg and they are often served accompanied with consumption of beer. Fertilized duck eggs are kept warm in the sun and stored in baskets to retain warmth. After nine days, the eggs are held to a light to reveal the zygote inside. Approximately eight days later the balut are ready to be cooked, sold and eaten. Vendors sell cooked balut out of buckets of sand, used to retain warmth, and are accompanied by small packets of salt with vinegar.

Me and My Nine Girls

When I was a little child, I hate to dance or to join in a group to perform a dance. I don’t know why I so hate to dance and when I see those person dancing on the street, bar or in the party I always smile with them. When I grow up I didn’t expect to become a member of a dance group as an active member. And not only one group I have2 group in the church 1 in my high school and 2 in my college life. But there’s more than that. When I was finish at my college degree I’ve always busy at my work and home. No more dance group. But I didn’t expect to dance again in a Christmas party. The dance is nice but that kind of music and move I didn’t do it when I was a member of a dance group. A dance called “Papaya Dance” one of the nicest and crazy dances I ever dance. And my partners? , Guess what. I’m the only boy in the group and I have nine girls. Want to see my dance? click here
