kahapon, papunta kami ng palengke at grocery nang biglang humirit si jum.
jum: mommy gusto mong mangarag?
mom: ha?
jum: mangarag. yung sapin sa may pinto.
mom: a... mga rug. akala ko tinatanong mo ako kung gusto kong mangarag e.

when i was little, i used to enjoy those sugary treats that can be found at your friendly mom and pop stores or sari sari stores. their dizzying colors and the feel on my tastebuds equate to childhood nirvana.
we went to market yesterday and my brothers headed straight to those wholesale outlets, earnestly hoping to find the long-lost treats. we came home with big smiles plastered on our faces and a bag full of goodies.
chocnut - Php21 - a pack of about 48 individual candies
Haw haw milk candies - Ph16 - the packaging is mint green with a cowhead
Choko choko chocolates - Php46 - a pack of 50 chocolate sticks that ooze from a thin plastic tube
Cheap LALA milk chocolates that tasted like brownies - 4 * 4.50
total: Php96
i also saw those milky sweet powder that comes in colorful plastic mini feeding bottles that you "drink" with a straw.
what i didn't find was those candy sticks that we used to call as "tira-tira."
send me a message if you see some of this sticks somewhere, help me feed my craving. :-)
