My cousin is visiting aklan and she asks me what i want and my usual reply "bastos nga kamiseta and squid rings" hehe. I havent had those squid rings in a while i cant find em anywhere in vancouver.

tagalog VCDs and pirated computer games.

hmm

polvoron from goldilocks.. u lucky folk in van city have goldilocks, u can't get that in toronto...
umm,, dilis
sardines my mom thinks only the ones from the philippines are good ick... and then my cousin told me they don't let the brand she likes into canada b/c the metal used in the packaging is dangerous to your health
hmm.. i'll tihnk about that.. mostly food...
and fake games n dvds.

Do you mean 555 sardines, oh and I would also ask for real pinoy hot dogs. Purefoods is the best.

mm.. iunno... my mom said mabuti.. or at least i think she said mabuti brand.. iunno if that's a brand... maybe she was just talking and a sentence had the word mabuti.. lol iunno... i wasn't listening...

lol doesn't mabuti= good. mabuti isn't an brand.

yea.. that';s wht i was thinking, but buy would she say something like mabuti if she DIDN'T get the sardines she wanted...

So typical, even my lola in Pinas has one.

^kaya nga eh... hahahaha ano na lang, SPAM? Corned Beef?

@RL sa Baguio maraming mabibili nung barrel man

OH! Is that a Barrel man????

I could see that everywhere , Like in Tutuban, Quiapo in malls.

I do not know that is the secret pala....... That is why people were giggling when they saw the barrel man.
