happiness under 100 pesos

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
haw haw milk candiesi 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. :-)
