EN: infrequency, rarity
This is the reason you get excited when your crush finally replies. It's the 'rarity' of a 5-minute commute on EDSA. It's the opposite of your daily dose of traffic and stress. It describes something that happens so infrequently, it's almost a special event. 'Minsan lang sa isang blue moon.'
From ka- + dalang + -an.
