Franzia: ok, i give in. how much for half-dozen penoy, manong?
Manong (thinking): inglesera naman 'to!
Manong: very cheap, ma'am!

  4. i think it's very Pinoy, bernadette. when we were kids, most vendors would drop by our house because my father always bought everything in the basket. bicho-bicho, fresh lumpia, alupe (suman), ibos, palitaw were among our favorites. kumusta ka na? :D

  10. I never got to go down that wall by the boulevard when I first went to Dumaguete. This month, we will go there and I will really go down and touch the waters of Dumaguete. =)

  12. Love the first photo. There is something in there that...
    - calms me
    - hints of sadness
    - makes me smile as well.
    And probably a lot more.

  18. Hi, Luna, I'm from Dumaguete, and I miss home and this scene, and especially at night, the boulevard is very well lighted and lots of vendors selling their wares, lots of people walking and strolling along the boulevard. Our house is just a few blocks away. Nice shots, too.
