mercado on a whim

j wanted to get shawarma rice, i wanted to get shawarma and zagu for lunch, so we both decided to go to the nearest savemore despite the lack of sleep. and then, i told him we better hoard at least 10 one litre bottle of iced tea because they're on sale. (: and so we did. it's going to be death by iced tea.

then we found ourselves in one of those chinese factory stores that sells everything from toothbrushes to barrettes. i got myself some sparkly barrettes. ü

we were feeling a bit adventurous despite the rain that we went inside the mercado that smells like rotten dead things, we asked a few ladies to help us find a store that sells meringue. the meringues we found were short of our expectations. they were huge and not colored. i want food coloring and all the crazy additives in my baked sugar. and we got some mints and sampaloc candies. it was like a typical pinoy childhood sari sari store experience.

and we got apples, ponkans, and mangoes from the mercado fruit stalls.

the boy's sense of adventure is a bit berserk sometimes. but still..
