    Or when was the last time you've seen a real firefly?



    The last time I saw a firefly was during my early highschool years when we were still living in the barrio. But after that, I've not seen one even from afar.

    Many times during my grade school days,- Boy Scout camping in Greenheights Paranaque, Montalban Rizal, Teresa Rizal and Mt. Makiling in Laguna....

    The last time was about a year ago,- here in our village..... We stopped from our walking exercise and marvelled at how beautiful and majestic they were....

    matagal na ako hindi nakakakita nyan.....

    coincidence, but me and a young friend of mine was talking about firefly's cause he hasn't seen one and I was telling him how beautiful they are especially kapag nasa halamanan sila.

    I remember my brothers place back in laguna, palaging madaming firefly dun sa garden nya, kakatuwa. But slowly parang unti-unting nawala.... sayang ganda pa naman tingnan.

    Alitaptap......

    Sa province namin up north, marami pa rin yan.

    Sabi ng mga matatanda, kung saan lugar sila lumalabas at naglalagi, may "engkanto" raw. He-he!
