Life's just a crazy ride on a run away train

You can't go back for what you've missed

So make it count, hold on tight find a way to make it right

You only get one trip

So make it good, make it last 'cause it all flies by so fast

You only get one trip

Balut is a filipino delicacy, its a boiled duck's embryo (egg with chick inside), the chick inside varies from 15 to 21 days old. I only eat the 15 days old i cant handle the 21 days old :no:

While in Cebu a friend of my fiancée suggested I try balut, he said “it will make your knees strong” when my fiancée explained the meaning to me I laughed to myself and said thank you Pfizer!! (if you don’t know you better ask somebody :D )

Balut is said to be an excellent aphrodisiac.

Only problem is I have to get drunk to eat balut and I pass out right after I'm drunk enuf to eat it. :blink:
