Yam

Purple, violet, or lavender has been really my favourite colour since being a toddler in jungle-surrounded Ferry, Batangas, Philippines, in the 1960s, as my aunties wore lipstick and nails in that colour, and we ate "ube," a purple yam, which had that colour. Now, I associate it with the language Lojban, because of its creative energy.

In the early morning of the 27th of March of 2022, I was not the usual pizza junkie. I drank iced black tea and ate barbecued potato chips at the Lulu Island cafe. Two noisy Cantonese men were present. Outside, near the park, I saw a large orange thermos in a shopping cart. Some were promoting the Orange Dream, the fantasy of an Oriental conlang. Walking on, I encountered the French-Canadian Alex with his friendly Chocolate Labrador, Ellie. I reminded myself that there was also the Chocolate Dream of a fantasy conlang. In the late morning, I went to the pizzeria to eat two slices and drink a cold diet cola. I found out that Rose, the Filipina vendor, was about 9 or 10 years younger than me, so she alerted me that I should not use the Tagalog "po" reverential grammatical particle to her. My third walk took me to the pizzeria in the evening. I was drinking just cold diet cola, as I was watching the 94th Oscars on the big screen with sound off. Three young Filipinas came in to order. Later, I peeked into the new Japanesque SunTea Bakery, and the Purple Yam Mochi Soft Bread, selling at "9.5" Canadian dollars each, intrigued me. I might try it someday. The vendors spoke Mandarin.

On the 28th of March of 2022, as a suggestion by some folks, in tandem with my Lojban study, I would take up Klingon again. They are like two purple yam cheesecake brownies.

We are going to increase the percentage of yam in these animals' diet.
