  • Si Lola Dun sa binibilhan namin ng ulam, meron dung bolerang lola. “Binagoongan po.” (habang nilalagay sa plastic container yung ulam) “O, dinamihan ko na ito ha.” Tapos medyo pushy sya sa mga paninda nila pero okay lang. Natutuwa lang ako sa kanya. Second time namin bumili sa kanila tapos sinabihan ako ni lola na…
