Eating Overboard

Mood: hunger
Now Playing: one of us, joan osborne.


10/20/10

(This one is a draft i've saved, but never got the time to finish. Well, except for now, of course)

So today, i sort of went overboard and ate everything. No kidding. Since this morning, i have stuffed myself with Sumo Loops Biscuits, Hansel, christmas ham, candies, two glasses of Mountain Dew and a shot of brandy, before capping it all off with a 2:30 AM McDo delivery of double cheeseburger meal - with the medium fries and softdrink. Seriously, what the hell is wrong with me, eh?

And that's not even counting my pre-delivery anxiousness - I COULD NOT DECIDE WHERE TO PLACE A FUCKING DELIVERY. At first i thought of Mcdo's cheeseburgers and floats, then of Kowloon House's giant special siopao with a bit of pork siomai at the side, then of KFC's zingers and gravy-coated fries, then of Yellowcab pizzas. Might i add that i went through all of those options at 12 in the fucking morning? It's pitiful, actually, considering taht i was munching biscuits at the time.

If i eat anything more, i swear i'd inflate and balloon over the pacific. asljdlakaksdl. I've always liked food, but not to this extent; this is ridiculous, not to mention irritating.

... now excuse me while i go finish my fries. :D

Whenever i can, i always make it a point that i eat something on the way home. Nothing too fancy, of course. Like using my trike fare for a bite of fishballs, or chicken strips or even isaw from the local stands around home. I don't know why, but i guess this annoying habit came from the time i was a kid. After hearing Mass on Sundays, we'd go to this plaza not far from home. We still had the old owner back then (an owner that was assembled by dad. No kidding) and we'd nip inside a Tropical Hut (that was the shiznit back then) and i'd be real pleased, cause they'd give me coffee and pineapple juice along with whatever i'd have for the day.

And that was, i think, the rule for any wandering: eat before you go home. Whenever we'd finish watching a movie, we'd grab a plate of good ol' Jollibee spag and chicken or a quick bite of Henlin's siopao, or maybe your usual sago gulaman and turon at any vehicle station.

And i don't think this is limited to my family. I've been asking around, and it seems that people do really eat something before they go home.

I find this terribly endearing. We eat to fill our stomachs, but it also seems to me that we eat to fill something else.
