Foodyyy: MY COMFORT FOOD
I am not the type to eat the whole table whenever I get depressed. I turn to music for that. But there is really something about eating that “perfect” dish to turn any upside-down day into a day worth finishing. There is that sense of being at peace whenever one eats this little peace of heaven. It may be different for you, and it may be different for me. But eating these food is probably the best HUG you can ever get.
I don’t know about you… but i think a lot will agree that this just makes one happy:
Chocolate. It is well known that chocolates help create happy hormones [Endorphins]. And, well, “endorphins make you happy.. happy people just don’t kill their husbands… they just don’t!” 
My other comfort food is sooooooo bawal… I don’t know about you, but there is something about it that feels fulfilling.
Burgers and fries. It’s just so… hahhhh.. HEAVENLY. and so FATTENING, too! Bah! Who cares? It’s not an everyday thing anyway.
I really really really love food. And I don’t think I can do without my beloved meat. No, don’t get me wrong, I love my veggies as well. But don’t you dare suggest that I live without meat. Me without meat? It’s just not right. Hehehe..
Pinpointing the food that I find comfort in is hard. There is so much to choose from. But I guess this will do for now.. Thinking about all the scrumptious food just waiting out there makes my tummy hurt.
Kat sent this meme my way.. and so I shall send it elsewhere. I hereby tag: Chin, Miss Feyoh, Karen, Zr, Ehn. *shrugs* and off you go!
the city’s fiesta
Nov. 25, 2007 – yes, it WAS that time of the year where everybody is allowed to enter somebody else’s home and eat without feeling shy that he or she was not invited. seriously. this is how WE in dumzville celebrate.
naturally, there was the city pageant and the parade, the fireworks, the ever busy baclaran, and, among other things, dozens upon dozens of relatives. there were lots and lots of food that one would be lucky to surive without diarrhea or LBM. ahh but that is the joy of the celebration… in the name of food, i attack thee!!! mmm.. food.
even early in the morning of the day before the fiesta, i was roused from my beauty sleep to the cries of a helpless animal getting it’s throat slashed, it’s blood drained, and a pole shoved up from it’s royal behind. and there were some that followed. business is booming from dhirrac’s relatives’ point of view. it is, after all, that time of the year. when almost all chopped wood is used up and almost all of the livestock is butchered and cooked. and that was but a day before..
the next day was not any different. i guess the biggest difference i noticed was that despite it falling on a Sunday, everybody was up and about as i made my way to work (overtime). all modes of transportation seemed filled without any space to squeeze in.. at 6 a.m. no less! ahh.. but the situation was to worsen. just as i was heading home from work, the mere spaces i thought i could squeeze through were gone!! and to think i let my friend go on ahead when he so kindly offered me a ride home. bah! at least i got to catch a ride with yet another friend.
mmm.. food.
yesterday, i was not feeling well. i felt the most comfortable sitting in the throne room for long hours on end. bah! at least i got to enjoy the foodyyyy..! nothing a good dose of IMMODIUM won’t cure. wahahhahaha..!
I honestly feel so…nutty today. dont know why..hiihihihihi
never the best
going back in time… i dont know what to say. should i say that i regret saying those things to you? i must have sounded so cold.. so far.. totally unhelpful. but what could i do then? you refused to understand… you refused to open your eyes.
and now you worship their feet. you worship the words they speak… the same words i spoke before. it makes me laugh how you throw the very same words i told you.. and you tell ME that that was what you should have done? COME ON, GIRL!! i must hold my tongue to keep myself from telling you “i told you so..” i dont remember exactly if i told you these words.. but what more can i do? what was said is done.
although it hurts to see you with others. describing them as though they are your best… i wanted to be your best. but maybe i am not meant to be the best. i was meant to be your pillow.. your comforter. i was simply that person you run to.. somebody you run to when you feel down. not the best… just that. it’s okay… and i am glad you are happy.
i may not be the best… but remember, i will always be here.
butt-aches
i think i might be suffering from coccydynia.
i have been suffering from this pain FOR MONTHS now. and i probably will not be relieved from this torture soon enough. according to Wikipedia, coccydynia means “pain in the coccyx or tailbone area, usually brought on by sitting.” from that definition alone, i think it has hit my pain right on the head.
for two main reasons really. first is the sitting part. i do have a desk job. although i sit on a cushioned seat, i am pretty much on my B U T T for almost 8 hours or more. and even though i walk around just to stretch my muscles as well, i still sit down when i get home to do some more work. hehehe next, it might be caused by childbirth. according to www.coccyx.org, unstable or dislocated coccyx during pregnancy and/or childbirth. being that i have undergone two pregnancies, i think it is safe to say that this might also be the cause.
i honestly did not know about this. i just thought it was just by bones aching from all the pressure and my monotonous way of life. yeah, i am a regular witch doctor! hah! i try to avoid the hospital as much as i can – and now is not an exception – so i pretty much diagnose myself unless absolutely necessary. hehehe but i do wish i could do something about this without going to the doctor.. anyway, i searched Google for “tail bone hurts” i was given the www.coccyx.org website. lo and behold..the answers to my questions. it is a bit scary, but i have to face it.. right?
there are ways to fix this.. but, i cant afford an operation, or injections, or whatever.. so i guess my option is just to get a customized cushion to relieve my bottom from the pain. i hope it works..and if massaging works, then i’ll try to have it fixed. hehehe
seriously, i dont know if this is forever.. but i hope to God that this is just temporary. BECAUSE IT HUUUUUURTS LIKE H3LL!!!!!!!
