Jeez. I've just scanned my posts and what used to be a wedding blog has turned into a food blog. Ayayay. I am starting to show my true piglike colors :P

Because I am nice...and a kunsintidora, I've decided to make a list of my favorite candies. These are the ones I have to keep myself from buying everytime I pass the store. Enjoy!

Help!
I am in search of Meiji's Melty Kiss. I know it is available in HK but don't know of anyone coming to Manila from there. Have you seen it in any store in Manila? Please share your sources :)

Candy. I've always had a love affair with candy.

When I was about 8 or 9 I loved Werther's Butterscotch Candy and Juicy Two (remember those, God am I dating myself? heeheh). These were fairly large pieces of hard candy that I would pop into my mouth like peanuts.

I was about to take a shower one afternoon after school and took a Juicy Two with me to the bathroom so I could eat my candy while bathing. I flicked the candy in and it went through my mouth and straight into my throat. I fucking could not breathe because the sweet blocked my windpipe. By this time I was naked and under the shower so I tried to be smart and opened my mouth under the spray hoping to melt the candy so it would slide through my esophagus.

No go. After gagging under the shower I was starting to get woozy. I ran out of the bathroom (still naked but too freaked to care) straight to the living room where my sister was studying with her tutor. Both looked at me like I was crazy but all I could do was point at my throat while gasping "Caaaannnndy Akkkkk Choooozzzy Tooooo Akkkk Akkk!" The tutor finally understood.

She started yelling "Bananas Bananas" while I gaped at her in disbelief. WTF? I was choking. She ran to the kitchen and got a banana from the fridge and started mashing it in the bowl. I followed her, still writhing and grunting...until I realized....Stupid Fuck, the dumbass was thinking of placing mashed bananas in my mouth to try to get the candy to slide down my throat. Meanwhile I was dying.

I started hopping and trying to hit my back hoping to dislodge the candy. Tutor finally finishes with the banana and shoves the mush in my mouth. I keep hopping and squealing. Sister just stares.

Finally she gets smart and starts hitting me on the back. Then she starts hitting me on the stomach. I am so surprised about the stomach hitting I throw up and the Juicy Two, smashed Banana - and the remnants of my lunch - land on her shoe.
