[Flisht] Pagkaing Bata

When I was young, I would consider myself "laman ng sari-sari store". Everyday I would drop by the one 2 houses away from ours to check out the latest candy or chichirya available.

I remember one time when I had no yaya and my parents had to leave so they left me in that sari-sari store for the whole day. It felt like heaven on earth! (OA) Kuha lang nang kuha so my mom ended up paying for a lot of junk food. What is masiba! So yeah, I really love eating. I think I am orally fixated (AY BASTOS! Chuice.) but I never grew fat because for obvious reasons, all I ate was junk.

I listed down several of those candies and chichirya I loved. I guess you are familiar with some of them too...

1.
Can I just say ang jeje ng swits? I used to eat this a lot and fooled myself that I'm healthy because I eat orange all the time. It's funny that this is kinda difficult to find in the supermarkets but you can buy them easily in bus stations. Hoarding much???

2.
Ay favorite ko to! My mouth has room for 5 of these. I think my mouth is really big. Or lumaki na lang siya sa kaka-nguya ng bubble gum.

Open wiiiiiiiiiiide!

Of course, I think we all like this gum because of...

May ala Madame Auring pa na fortune!

3.
Don't they look adorable??? I used to think each color was a different flavor. And I eat the icing only. I throw the cookie part away. Or feed them to the dogs


4.
Isa pa toh. Akala ko iba-ibang flavor. Kunyari favorite ko pa yung pink kasi strawberry. Ay Confeeeeermed!


5.
My mom banned Whistle Joy at home because it was such a noisy candy! I thought it was the most ingenious candy ever invented. It looked cute blowing it before apparently mukha ka nang engot kung malaki ka na! See?

6.
I used to buy packs of this. Masarap kung sinisip-sip with a straw. Weird kung dissolved in water. Wag ka lang masyadong gahaman in sipping kundi uubuhin ka!

7.
This sugar coated peanut candy usually came with a free gold ring! Sosyaaaaal! Then I would put foil on top para parang diamond ring! Maarte lang.

8.
This tastes good pero MABAHO!!! Smelled like jebs especially the mexican cheese flavor. Pweh!

9.
It's funny that you have to suck it out. Some kids even use their teeth to pull the chocolate paste up. Tapos in the middle of enjoying it may lalapit na friend, "pwede pahingi??" HELLO OK KA LANG?!?!?!
I think most of them are still available until now. One of these days, I will buy them all and be a kid again.

Bawal humingi. bleeeeeeh! Childish? Or magpapa-kiddie party ako at eto ang laman ng loot bag! Chyeh!

[FLISHT] Past IS Past

There were trends in the past that I believe should just stay in the past. Yes, I know that fashion is a cycle. Some cool stuff before may wane and come back x number of years later. But there are things that I think are really baduy enough not to be resurrected.

In this new section called FLISHT (Fish + list gets?) I listed 10 things that should just be buried, canned or vaulted. Lets VAULT in! Chuice.

1. Tattoo Bracelet

Please lang. If you think you're cool for having a tattoo then fine. But having a fake one is just pathetic. Di man lang henna? (which is kinda tacky as well). Sold in the side walks, people wore them in their arms, ankles and necks. Kadiri. period.

2. Butterfly clips

I think all girls had this phase. They're cute actually. And the spring that makes their wings bob is ingenious. But one piece is enough. I had a carpool mate who once went to school with 8 butterflies on her head arranged to form like a crown. I swear, pwede siyang liparin nun!

3. Bubble bag

Its a crossbreed between a bag and a floating device. It came in different cartoon designs. May hello kitty, pikachu and doraemon! haha Di ko gets para san to? In case you get shipwrecked? Sold in sidewalks too, so +++ jeje factor too.

4. Shades Headband


I did not find any picture. But basically its a hybrid of bangaw shades that is slipped into a headband. So its as if you wear your sunglasses over your head. Sometimes, the shades are detachable and it becomes a clip. May sunglasses din ba in the middle of your hair?

5. Lighting shoes


Ok so for kids they're cute, but for adults, pwede wag? I think they could still be bought nowadays. Now with sound effects. AHAH

6. Colored Skinnies

I'd like to call these the GLOW pants. Not only because they seem to glow in the dark but you will definitely look like a fruit or a vegetable in it! haha yellow= banana; purple=talong; green=cucumber (celery kung shushal ka:P); orange=carrot; red=siling labuyo

7. Chained wallet

Gangster ka? Please lang. It looks like you have a dog in tow! Some people even play with it, throwing the chain out in circles. Not cool. Really.

8. Artista Notebooks


Joross? Juday? Jolina? Lidsay Custodio? Name it, the notebooks have it! Nakakaloka! My teacher Sir Ariel Diccion encouraged the whole class to get one for a Filipino notebook. I think I got Carlo Aquino HAHAHA But I beleive these notebooks have been banned by DepED. Thank God! Otherwise meron nang Charice, Santino or Agua Bendita!

9. Buddha Beads
Lets leave them to the Buddhist monks ok? They use it for religious activities. Not just as accessories.

10. Scrunchies


HOMG. What is this animal? It looks like a hairy worm on your hair!!! Kadiri . I know some even have beads. These are no longer cool trends-and they never were- but some people still wear them. For the love of God and Anna Wintour (meganon?) please stop!

So I'm glad for having been guilty with only two items. The notebook and... the Buddha beads. AHAHA but it was a necklace and it was in plain black. Quite decent still (defensive much?)

How about you? How many items are you guilty of having?
