Every time I hear these words makes me think about what my girl wants to choose if ever I have a girlfriend in the future when we will date outside but if only lol. I want to know what you girls prefer when it comes to this because what I prefer is to have a date in just a simple place. Why? Because that's who I am, a simple man. I can be fancy when I like but it's just once in a lifetime haha, just kidding. Only if I have extra money. Ilokano blood is running in my veins so being stingy is just normal haha.
That's what they said about us Ilokanos, we are stingy but the truth is we're not. We are just prioritizing things that are most important over those things that are not necessary. Actually, even those people who are not Ilokanos are stingy lol. Going back to the topic I'm discussing, let's not just focus on couples because they are not the only one who eats.
Most people nowadays prefer to eat fast food and most of them are ordered online but to be honest the trending one before was the street food in the streets. They just became dead when the pandemic hits us. I feel sorry for these small business like them trying to earn money in a decent way.
After school before, a cart was standing by the gate of our school selling a lot of street foods such as fishballs, Sikkim, shanghai, calamares, 1 day old, kwek-kwek, and many more. Of course, the different flavors of juice can't be present but buko juice was my favorite among them, especially the pure one. You can buy them at a cheap price and you're stomach will be full by just eating a variety of street foods.
Some rich people are belittling this kind of business, especially their foods, and calling them cheap which is not supposed to be because a lot of them taste better than those in fast foods. Another one is that you can find them just along the streets making it easier for you to buy one and not like those big companies which you have to drive or commute a long distance just to get one. I think everyone will like this street food if they will try it but some of us are just picky due to some reasons such as the issue of proper hygiene. But all I can say is that the owner of these small businesses go through with the medical test for them to get a business permit.
I liked to buy street foods before but it's different now since we're on pandemic and I'm missing it. They are selling now but I'm still afraid to get into the crowd, to be honest. I love my life and I don't want to be infected with the virus since it's still out there trying to find some people as a host.
Speaking of fast foods, in my entire existence I only tried only three so far, Jollibee, Mang Inasal, and Mcdo. I'm not fond of eating and buying foods from these three and I only do it if the occasion is special such as passing my grades when I'm still studying for graduation and birthdays. I didn't order some fancy foods and what I just ordered was some spaghetti and sweets such as the sundaes, mc floats, and halo-halo.
After exams back then I will get one of those sweets to calm down my dying mind lol. The feeling is just so relaxing when I consume one of those after facing off those nerve-wracking questions. Also, that's the only food I can afford back then haha.
So with that two encounters, I had before I just hope that my girl in the future will like those street foods and not too often those in fast food. Well, let's not base foods on how we love the person. It's just food and it will turn into a waste afterward. I know that some of the couples out there are very often in fast food but don't be jealous of them and will try to be often also just like them for other people to say that you are sosyal. It's a very toxic mentality. Authentic and genuine love comes from the person exactly and not in food.
Thank you for reading this one again friends by the way my favorite street food is the calamari which is made from the body of the squid and then partnered with vinegar seasoned with a lot of red onions and just a little bit of spiciness.
