I've passed it by several times at the grocery. But just a few days ago, I was somewhat tempted to buy myself a pair.
I picked one of the sticks up, and played with it... and I was like, "I gotta bring you home!" But, I got myself a three-pound weight that was sitting next to the arnis sticks----which was the original intention why I happened to be at that corner of the store that day anyway.
Today, I had to run some errands... and found myself at the grocery again. I really didn't have it in mind. I was too preoccupied with some mundane matters.
But then I happened to pass by down its isle, and I almost couldn't resist.
I looked at all of the sticks left, and there were only two of the same dimensions. They were all laid out, and not in pairs. So, one would be lucky to find two that were identical. I couldn't help telling myself, "Must have been meant for me."
I took one to the counter and had the cashier check the price. I could not help lighting up with a smile on my face, when she told me it was just PhP 35 per stick. I swear I smized. That's not even a dollar. So, I asked her to keep an eye on my cart. I must have skipped like a little kid, as I went back to get its pair. I just knew I had to get those two as a pair home today!
Everyone was so amused with my purchase, even the baggers could not help spinning it around a few times just before they had to hand them back to me.
When I got home, I had them smudged and blessed----something I don't always do. Just too happy! Keeping them on my altar for now.
