Sitsiritsit alibangbang...
"...salaginto't salagubang, ang babae sa lansangan, kung gumiri'y parang tandang!" This is one of my favorite songs when I was a child. I spent so many summers with my lolas and they always teach me these fun folk songs. This song, Sitsiritsit, is a Filipino folk song. This humorous song describes a flirtatious woman, threatening a store owner that the ants are going to get him if he's not going to extend credit. Here's the original lyrics:
Sitsiritsit, alibangbang. Salaginto at salagubang. Ang babae sa lansangan, kung gumiri'y parang tandang
Santo Nino sa Pandakan. Puto seko sa tindahan. Kung ayaw mong magpautang. Uubusin ka ng langgam
Mama, mama, namamangka. Pasakayin yaring bata. Pagdating sa Maynila. Ipagpalit ng manika
Ale, ale namamayong. Pasukubin yaring sanggol. Pagdating sa Malabon. Ipagpalit ng bagoong
Sitsiritsit, alibangbang. Salaginto at salagubang. Ang babae sa lansangan, kung gumiri'y parang tandang

Some pen info:
- Pen name: Stabilo Fine liner Point 88
- Ink color: Every color that you can imagine. Well, ok, not every color, but they have a lot more colors than you know. ;)
- Where to buy: National Bookstore.
- Price: PhP 29.50 each
What I liked about this pen:
- Vibrant and fun colors! :)
- If you like to doodle, these pens can also double as fillers or outliners.
- They're pretty cheap considering that it took some time before my teal fine liner went out.
- They can easily be purchased at any, and I mean any, National Bookstore.
What I don't like about this pen:
- You can't see the ink gauge. For me, this is kind of a semi-big deal because I want to know if I have to purchase a replacement anytime soon.
