kisses for sale
Just a few days ago I was walking in Quezon-City. As always I’m bringing my camera, when suddenly I saw a nice and funny ‘advertisement’ written on a porch.
Some young lady (or maybe someone else) wrote the following lines:
As far as I understand it you can buy 4 kisses for 1 peso, but with lipcolor only 3 for the same peso.
I wonder about the age of this young girl who wrote it, and if she realizes that this advertisement can travel around the world.
I will continue publishing pictures like these on this website. In the months that I’m living here now I have collected a lot so come back regularely to see, or take a subscription on my newsletter or RSS feed.
Filipino time:
hi jan i enjoy reading your blogs! it’s very entertaining to read filipino cultures from your eyes
… now that i’m 30 years old i know there is no truth with that but i continue seeing my younger nieces and cousins buying and collecting “kisses” 
..anyway the “kisses” that is advertised in the photo might be the “kisses” which are scented pieces ( i don’t know if they are edible haha ,almost size of a grain of rock salt) that girls usually collect as a hobby along with scented stationary.. as a young girl i’ve collected lots of “kisses” buying them from my friends or from a sari sari store and kept them in matchboxes with a cotton we were told that by doing that the kisses will mutiply by themselves
Hi Aelisha,
Nice of you to stop by at my website. I’m happy that you like it.
Thanks for your explanation about the kisses. It gives me a complete new view on this picture.
