Tonight's cheap thrill

Here's something I haven't done in decades.

I went to a sari-sari store!

On my way home, I had a sudden craving for a mint gum, and I didn't want to go to the supermarket to buy a whole bag. So, for the first time in almost a decade, I went to the sari-sari store in front of the compound and bought gum there.

Seeing candies in those plastic jars, talking to a "tindera," and saying the classic lines: "Pabili po..." were such a thrill.

I should do this again soon.
