anger management in tarlac




there's this resto in gerona, tarlac that you can't miss if you are on your way to baguio, la union, etc. along the highway, you'll come across huge monolith-inspired structures fronting the resto. the place is Isdaan and it serves.... fish.

the main point is really an area which they call tacsiyapo, a capampangan expression similar to 'damn!' (or so i was told). for a few pesos, you can pick up anything there and throw it at the wall! this is anger management, capampangan style. as crude yet probably as effective. the wall even has 'prompts' to remind you of what to focus that anger on ("a boss?, a client?, a neighbor?, a philandering spouse?) pick up your fancy (plates, saucers, even old TV's!!!) and throw away and see it crash and shatter!

my first throw lacked oomph. but after my second throw, i got the hang of it na. and it was actually cathartic! wonder how it would feel if i threw the TV???

and the meal they serve aint bad at all!!!

Sorry, but this resto lacks total originality. It was copied from a Japanese bar which offered similar services for stressed-out corporate Japs as early as I think 1997.
