On my way home now, i pass through several street vendors... a dirty ice cream stand, a tricycle of softdrinks, hot steamed corn, i slowly moved pass them.. in favor of my favorite... Manong's squidball stand (slurp slurp).
Upon reaching my favorite vendor, my hand almost automatically retrieves the loose changes I have accumulated throughout the day, handing them to "Manong", my hands stretched to accept a barbecue stick. (Please see squidball stand 101 below to familiarize oneself on how to eat squidballs =P ) Aiming the stick at the pool of squidballs, chickenballs, and "kwek kwek" available, I selectively picked up four (uber big =P) squidballs and four chickenballs, slowly placing them on the small paper plate I have on my other hand, pouring my favorite sweet and spicy sauce on them I slowly savored each bite.. with each bite relieving me temporarily of the hungriness i now felt. After a few minutes, satisfied and happy I commute back home. (Have I ever mentioned we were a group..... =) )
