Boy Bawang Nation



This just in…the Supreme Court has just given the dreadfully horrific e-vat a go… and in a few days or so, pro or con, we will all feel its pangs. Mamang Cabbie from last week has just mentioned how that one July morning hurt his business what with the gas prices sky rocketing like there’s no tomorrow. I feel for these people. They’ve been so much a part of my life. Imagine, meeting 2-3 cabbies a day? Since I’m not so good in Math, I won’t even try to count, but all I can say is that it’s a good number. But anyway, at least one of them would have an interesting and inspiring story to tell while we get on with our sojourn. I’d miss them a lot once I start driving. I told my dad this morning that it’s like so impractical to be bringing the car to work especially in my case…I hold 2 jobs… I travel edsa four times a day… I dunno exactly how much that translates to gas mileage, but I feel that it’s supposed to be a lot since we’re also to consider other factors such as the weather condition and my stress level…hehehehe! Oh well, the only promising thing that I heard all day was my dad saying he’s willing to take care of the gas, so that sorta encouraged me again...hmmmh… Anyway, going back to e-vat, I wonder how this is going to affect the cost of boy bawang…which we get for a buck from the nearby store… I dunno..this is something I picked up from my folks who are soooo into “BB”…well, apparently, it’s not just them, it’s a phenomenon getting bigger by the minute...I always loved chichacorn. I remember being in the chichacorn diet back in highschool. Twas crazy, cuz I wouldn't eat anything but that. I have it for recess, for lunch and for merienda. It's tipid and yet it's sooo yummy. I can't believe I'm back into the habit. Well, chichacorn is far better than the other junk foodies, well at least I'd like to think..hehehehe... I just wish the Boy Bawang industry would not be affected by the e-vat scare. Imagine how many lives will be affected. A single buck still means a lot to some people.
