The Mass Happiness
Pinyong, my officemate in Convergys and I went to a “perya”, an amusement park located in Luzon, Quezon City. We gamble our one peso coins. We played the “Itsa”, a game which you throw coins and once the peso fits the square with prize. The number printed on the square will be your money back or I would say double your money. Luckily, I won eight pesos.
We decided to ride the octopus; it looks like a mechanical octopus with metal which can accommodate two persons. We yell, scream and breathe ferociously. A five minute ride increasing the endorphins on our body. I remember the last time, I ridden that octopus during my grade school years. For twenty pesos, I felt the happiness of getting pull up and down.
Pinyong decided to play the lottery, I may say. Let me describe that, you will bet a peso in a number or letter. Once the red light stopped, chips delight, RC Cola, a liter of soda, plastic wares and even Ice Popsicles. They are the prices you may have.
We bet, played and won. I won a pale deeper and an Ice Popsicle. Pinyong won a plastic ware for viand or rice and an Ice Popsicle.
We also had a food trip. We ate fish ball, chicken balls and Kikiam (it is made with ground pork and vegetables in bean curd sheets then deep fried until golden. We also ate Kwek-Kwek, boiled chicken eggs coated with orange-tinted batter commonly sold on street. Then, we have balut, a fertilized duck or chicken egg with a nearly developed embryo inside that is boiled and eaten in a shell.
Small talk and we decided to go home. I hope, he will return the pale deeper and Ice Popsicle for I asked him to keep those.
