Perhaps the busyness, products, food, smell, and various situations in the night market make people have the urge to visit it. I, for one, am not a fan of this scenario, but as I passed in front of it, I just suddenly felt something that called me. And there I found myself meeting some old acquaintances. I wasn't able to reject the sudden idea of going there and immersing ourselves in the crowd of people. I just said yes and went with the flow.
From the gleaming lights being emitted by the toys to the mouthwatering foods that tempt me, I just rubbed my head, knowing that my pocket will be hurt. However, a sudden twist of fate took place. I was miraculously treated by them instead. I refused at first, but their generosity did not stop them. As much as I want to say no, who am I to refuse a blessing? Anyway, I also treat them to food once in a while.
At 5 pm, the vendors are already preparing. As the sky gets darker, the street in front of the market gets more vivid. The sparkle of the stars in the night sky and the gleaming radiance of the moon blend together, initiating a spectacular night.
What I love about it is how the night sky and the ambiance exude an aura that magically makes the night special. From the little giggles to sweet smiles from random people, you feel like everyone is really enjoying. While observing, I forgot I came here with a few acquaintances. I was caught smiling while observing and as I take a look at them, they just smiled while giving them a puzzled look - I don't know, but that moment was priceless.
By the way, the right side portion is where the various food stalls are situated. From refreshing juice to oily foods such as pork belly, shawarma, and the like, you would really be tempted to buy. In fact, my stomach even made a sound as we passed on each stall.
Meanwhile, the vendors of various clothes, be it ukay or brand new, underwear, and toys, among others, were situated on the left side of the market, facing the Vigan Landmark Commercial Building.
In its entirety, this special occasion that just happens periodically serves as an amazing period to fumble a different feeling of fun. It may be costly at some points and matters, but why regret when you feel that emotion you've been trying to seek for a long time and satisfied a craving you've been wanting to taste lately? There may be some who may not find it enjoyable to stay in such a place and wander around, but just like in ordinary days, there's this magnificent feeling that just magically happens at times you don't expect it, and in my case, I experienced one during my visit in the night market with some old friends.
That's all folks. Thank you for reading my blog!
