This restaurant in Gensan famous for its pancit malabon was about to close down for the night when I and my wife went in. Needless to say, there were no more dine-in and its specialty was not available anymore so my partner had to settle for one order of the common arroz caldo, take out. Fine.
I just had my full dinner so for myself I went for a softdrink (soda) and specifically asked for Sprite. The cashier loudly asked her staff if Sprite was still available and got a equally loud "wala na" ("no more") from one of the ladies at the food counter. So I asked what other sodas are available. A resounding "Coke lang" ("just Coke") was heard all over the place. Good enough.
I got my Coke while we waited for our arroz caldo; and was halfway through it when I noticed a phalanx of glistening ice cold Sprites-in-can inside the glass-paneled fridge. I naturally asked the charming (sic) lady who a while ago had just declared all Sprites "dead", "Bakit sabi mo wala nang Sprite?" at the same time nose-pointing the row of green cans inside the ref.
To which, with all natural grace, she fabulously replied, "Hindi nyo naman sinabing 'in can'..."

ReplyDeleteAnyways, sir i dont want to put down your interest on it but about the show we cannot push through with it this December since we were only able to gather a few guests for the initial show, its a downside for us performers since we will be pulling out our own pockets for the technical expenses and will entirely gain nothing from the proceeds. We are constantly looking for a place wherein we won't be paying for the rent kasi we planned to do the show at Veranda's Session Hall initially but my co magicians suggested that we look for a different place wherein there would be lesser expenses or no expenses at all when it comes to the rent. Rest assured, I will inform you when it will happen. I would gladly perform for you guys whenever you're in the city since I have tons of new close routines I would like to experiment with bloggers I'm just a text away! Happy New year!
Harharhar... pikatttt... naisahan ka! But I'm sure you'll still come back for the yummy pancit malabon one of these days. (LOLz)
