I'm sure that there's been a time when you have wanted to throw a hissy-fit and start breaking whatever you get

your hands on.

An interesting feature of the Isdaan Restaurant is the Tacsiyapo Wall, which is by all means is a unique and

ingenious invention. Where else can you throw plates, mugs, vases, or TVs even, without drawing nasty stares?

According to one of the people who work at the restaurant, the idea came about when the owner was very

frustrated one day and decided to smash a few of his plates at home. Realizing that it was a very good way to

vent one's anger, he decided to spread his methods by creating a little nook in his restaurant where patrons can

release their pent up rage.

The word 'tacsiyapo' is a kapangpangan term which means "Shame on you!" Quite appropriate actually,

since the wall where you get to smash your wares is emblazoned with different issues over which

Filipinos usually get frustrated. Favorite targets on the wall are "5-6!," "Boss / Managers / Supervisors,

etc. !" and "Mother / Father in Law!" It is comforting to know that you are not the only one suffering from the

same problem. It's an amusing revelation and is in fact rather telling about us Filipinos, isn't it?

The Tacsiyapo Wall is definitely a must-try for people of all ages. If all that finding your center

mumbo-jumbo just doesn't cut it for you, you could try heading up north and chucking a piece

of ceramic at the wall. For as low as sixteen pesos a mug, you can break stuff to your heart's content.

It may not solve your problems permanently, but at least you lower the risk of throwing a tantrum when

you get back to the real world.
