My Precious - Food

Everybody loves food. I mean, who doesn't? People with foodophobia? Well, food for me is like gold. It is a precious thing that makes my mouth open whenever I see it. It's the thing that really made my heart go ku-dung ku-dung ku-dung. It's my first love!

Scientifically, Food is any substance consumed to provide nutritional support for the body. It is usually of plant or animal origin, and contains essential nutrients, such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, or minerals. The substance is ingested by an organism and assimilated by the organism's cells in an effort to produce energy, maintain life, or stimulate growth.

But if I translate it in English, it’s like this-Food is life. Simple as that. Without it, we won’t be able to run as if there is a crazy dog or even our mom chasing us because we got a failure in a subject; we won’t be able to scream and shout to our idols when they perform in front of us someday; we won’t be able to laugh while watching Vice Ganda do his or her funny taglines every Sunday night; we won’t be able to take pictures of ourselves when we feel like doing vain poses; and lastly, it may come to a point where we all die because of starving. We won’t be able to do all these if we don’t consume these “substances.” It is because food gives us energy, and energy enables us to move and do these kinds of stuffs.

Now, let me tell you how I love food… I really love food!!! That is it, for short. But for the long one, here it is.

I love food as much as I love money. Nope! I’m wrong. I love food as much as I love myself! I mean, who doesn’t love themselves? Anyway, the first thing I’ll do if my father would win in Lotto (It’s still long time dream of my father.)  and would give me money, I would first list all the most delicious food that I’ve never tasted before and my favorites that I’ve tasted before, buy it, and eat it all at once! Oh, I would love it if my father would miraculously win today!

People who are a foodoholic turn fat easily because they eat so much food. I do eat a lot even up to 4 cups of rice all at once, but still, I’m not gaining any ounce of fat. Well, I’ll gain after eating, but after an hour or two, guess what? Back to thin me! Others might say it’s nice because you won’t be able to worry about getting thin and let us say sexy, but for me, it’s the opposite. I would also like the me who is a fast-metabolic person only if my parents would stop telling me and reminding me how small I am. I mean, they just can’t get the meaning of fast-metabolism.

There was this one time my family went to Manila last summer to visit my aunt. She is a generous aunt that is why she made us eat five times a day. Can you imagine that! HA! Wish you this kind of aunt, right? Well, during my vacation there, I gained 10 pounds! Can you imagine that, again? But unfortunately, after coming back home, I lose 10 pounds again after a few days. And then, last July 2012, I joined the Taekwondo team in WVSU. And guess what? I lose five to ten pounds again for about a week. So until now, my weight is just at 89-90 pounds.

Go back to food. What else can I say? I love food so much! Just that! Honestly, I don’t know how to end this post because I still want to tell you everything about how I love food so much and my experiences with it, but it will take a long time before I finish this. So now, I’ll stop. Thank you for wasting your precious time by reading this short post of mine… kamsahabnida (thank you)!
