There are those stores that seem so classy and spacious. These are usually located in the second floor VirraMall and the newly built theater mall. These air-conditioned stores arrange their products in an orderly and stylish arrangement.

Sa pagbabaybay sa makitid na daan ng Alonzo sa Binondo, siguradong mapapalingon ka sa mga bagay na hindi mo man lang alam kung ano ang katawagan. Kakaiba ang kanilang mga hitsura. Mayroong parang damo, dilis, nasunog na ahas, napakatabang uod, balat ng manok, utak at marami pang iba. Pero "parang" lang. Ang totoo niyan, pagkain 'yang mga tinutukoy ko. [ Read ]

Mainit ang sikat ng araw nang tanghaling iyon. Binabaybay namin ni Joey ang kahabaan ng Padre Faura sa pag-asang may matatagpuan kaming kakaibang istorya na tiyak namang kagigiliwan ng sinumang makabasa. Ngunit sa kasawiang palad, walang makapukaw sa aming pansin nang mga oras na iyon.
