straightforward food

I have this little belief when it comes to food. I made a little convention called ’straightforward food’. While eating could be one of the most enjoying activities, some food are just too damn complicated. For example, crabs are good. I mean It’s awesome. But eating a crab? ugh. There’s a lot of glitch. Another one are cakes, come to think of it. Baking? Messy Eating? ugh. Here’s another: sotanghon (vermicelli soup, according to Yayi, my officemate, it’s a noddle). Damn, eating that thing is such pain!

Don’t get me wrong I eat these foods, if I’m in the mood to deal with their hitch! Hear me, I always regard eating not only as a physical activity but also a psychological one (ok, I know I’m scaring you now). How can you enjoy the food if you’ll be pissed eating it?

Why it can’t be like pritong baboy? Simpleng simple. Deep fried and tossed in your plate. Add some rice and voila! It’s a total treat. Yung tipong nakataas pa yung paa mo, habang kumakain. Me patis at kalamansi at Malamig na coke? Sarap.

We all have signatures in life. People recognized us not just by face, but most of the times by gestures, words and little details that we do. We inhibit these characteristics that only us can do. It’s like a finger print. Someone can mimic it but no one can duplicate it.

How far are you willing to be that person? How far can you commit being that person. How far are you willing to use that signature? Even if you’re signing on something that’s not gonna turn out right.

drastic

Looking back, my life has been changed drastically within the few months. I have a new job now. A very demanding one. Back in the academe, things were slow. It’s not that I regret being in software development, believe me it’s what I’ve always wanted, but I miss those days where I can come to the office late for an hour (haha, damn)! I miss those days where I can delay things because I’m feeling lazy and I just want to hit the bed and sleep (yeah, you heard me right) . Being in academe, in some ways, is a bliss. Almost everyone I know have changed.  Most of my highschool friends are married, some are on their way and some have taken their chances on other places. I miss those days where I randomly crash in their houses and bugged them ’til they join me to stroll. I cannot do that anymore. Some, I mean most, of my friends in AC are also gone. I miss a lot of things with these guys. The “flavor of the month”. We have this habit where we pigs out on a certain food until our stomach gives up or until we feel throwing whenever we see that food, whichever comes first, hehe. I also miss the 5 o’clock walk, the talks and oh, and the work, yeah (hehe) . And in a few more months, I can say that I should expect for LOT more changes.

Changes are inevitable. The irony is in here, we feel to keep things the way they were when life never ceases to change. Just when you feel like stayin’ that’s when changes have to let you go. It’s not called leaving, It’s moving. You are following where your feet takes you and where your mind tells you (ok, I was gonna say “where your heart tells you” but that’s too cheesy) .  Life is just offering us something else. Eventually, everything will just turn into some memories. Pictures will turn into pieces of thoughts and emotion captured. Memories to be discussed over coffee in time.  Laughters to be remembered over accidental acquaintance in the future. Stories to be retold over some get-together dinner.

And I ain’t complaining, I’m just sayin’ (yes, I’ve got that from you). I am welcoming changes with a red carpet in my life. Sabi nga ni Lex Luthor “Bring it on!”.
