The 20-Peso-Gift-in-20-Minutes Christmas Challenge

Ayel

WE HAD a little fun a few minutes past midnight last weekend at the flea market in GenSan’s Paskuhan Festival. All six of us, physics majors, decided to have a Christmas challenge where in 20 minutes?we had to buy gifts that only cost?20 pesos. The gift had to have a special meaning?to the recipient.

It was 12:08 on my watch when we started looking around and thinking what meanigful item I should buy. Luckily, there was a stall that sells items at only ten pesos but I found nothing interesting.

Time was ticking but I still haven’t found anything for one of my friends. It was difficult to find good stuff at?20 pesos. I had to weigh all the factors until I found to objects in my hand at 12:24 am.

We exchanged our gifts at?a convenience store nearby. With some cans of beer to set the mood we went on describing our gifts. I received a talking, er, barking miniature Santa from Marcie, which she says was a thing that reminds her of me. I?bought a stapler and shoe-shine kit to (metaphorically) strengthen our bond and to make our inner selves shine. Corny.

I will be missing crazy moments like this because it would be long?until we see each other again.
