Of Little Stores and Little Stalls

      I don't know how oysters became my favorite but I find myself craving for them once in a while. Sometimes the craving is so strong all hell will break loose if I don't eat them. Good thing I know where I could eat these not so common food in Pasig. Tiendesitas. They come pricey. Twelve pieces costs as much as Php160. Without exaggeration, that money could buy a sack of oysters in Bulacan. I don't want to say this but yeah, somehow its worth it.

My fave oysters from a store in Tiendesitas.

     There are reasons why Tiendesitas is successful. You could shop (like what I did before dining) for things at a lower price; food trips of course; and live bands. Since it's very near my place I keep on coming back here.

     There is this hype about November 11, 2011 (11.11.11). Commercialism because needless to say, every moment is just once in a lifetime, happens once in all the worlds' history.Banchetto created the Wish Lanterns Fest for this day at exactly 11:11PM. As I've heard, it was unsuccessful. As I saw it last night, it was. Though I did not see a thousand wish lanterns flying in the sky, we did see some. People around us were sending lanterns on their own and there was a cheery mood around. I don't know if its just me who was joyful last night for some special reason but in my point of view it was a success.

     We were busy visiting each stall and during that time when Weak and I were lining up for corndog, I looked into my cell phone's time. 11:10PM. We waited for that exact 11:11PM and though he thinks its mushy I urged him to make a wish. Turns out, he's wish is better than mine.

     Despite the traffic going to Banchetto and lack of adequate tables and seats (we ate hito in the parking lot!), maybe I'll go there again. As always, depending on who I'm going with. Hmmmn, sweet night!
