It depends...if my heart is made by Goldilocks or Red Ribbon, I will definitely eat my heart out!=P

Try 'Heart of a Custard Cake"...it'll be sweeter with better filling.=D

I know a heart when I see one which is tender, loving and compassionate. I can no longer remember how many times I ate my inamorata's.

hahaha! that was funny!

"pusong mamon" is an idiomatic expression meaning "soft-hearted"; literally, means kind.

"Eat one's heart out" means to suffer silently while "pusong mamon" means a soft or kind-hearted person.

Now if I have to connect the two, it would be like this: I will eat in silence my soft-or-kind-hearted heart. Now, after having done that...eat my heart, I mean, I am left with no heart or I become "pusong matigas" which means I will become a "tigre". Hmmm....not good.
