Santan Flower

“Sabi nila, hindi ka daw naging bata kung hindi mo natikman yung nectar ng santan…”

I received that text message from a friend. Funny how I could be nostalgic and realize that I am not growing any younger.

I could still remember how me and my cousins would ruin our lola’s santan just to play with its colorful flowers. We would connect each flower and then make it as an accessory— a ring, necklace and an earring. My memory is a blurr back then, I forgot how santan’s nectar taste like. It probably taste like water. LOL!

Now, my lola’s santan is still there but I am afraid there’s less flowers now compared to the times when I don’t care of how I look like and during the times when my curiosity is at its spurt.

that's me... with the santan earrings.
