My Constipated Life

LP (and some alcohol woes)

Thursday, December 13th, 2007

So anyway, after having my haircut, I went to Nayong SariSari Store (or whatever name it has–i forgot!) in LP (Little Pinas–haha) to buy some Pinoy stuff:

  • Lucky Me Pancit Canton (calamansi flavor)
  • Palabok Mix
  • Tinapa
  • Manggang Hilaw
  • Barrio Fiesta Sweet Bagoong
  • Chicharon
  • Knorr Magic Sarap

If I need to go to LP, I always go on a weekday cuz if I go on the weekends, the place is literally overflowing with Noy-pis that it's difficult to do the stuff you're supposed to do.

Upon making chicka with the bicolanang tindera, I just had to ask if they're secretly selling Ginebra San Miguel. Hahaha!!! I miss my good ol' gin! Pero wala e. It's really not worth it to sell those because of the high import tax and if they smuggle it naman, it would be way too dangerous.

So this coming Christmas, I have to settle for Absolut Vodka to wash away my homesickness. Thanks to Tin and Marjon for buying one for me at the DFS upon their return from Pinas. And my gosh! The price difference ha!

Absolut Vodka at Cold Storage : $71

Absolut Vodka at Duty Free: $20 ONLY!

That's why if someone's coming from the airport and they ask me if there's anything I want them to buy for me, I always have a one-word reply: AL-CO-HOL!!!
