“Window grocery shopping”

THE EAR -
January 29, 2013 | 12:00am

GROCERY. An Ear informer was doing her groceries when she noticed a young couple loading their cart with food and toiletries “absent mindedly.” She said the couple was talking sweetly while doing so. “Nalingaw ko nila kay sweet kaayo, mura’g nag date,” she said.

WINDOW SHOPPING. Then our informer noticed the couple leave their half-filled cart in one of the aisles at the grocery store and head for the exit. “Nakatawa ko pagkakita nako nga gibiyaan ilang mga gipangpili. Mao to ang grocery version sa window shopping,” she said.
