Tao Rin Pala Sila

Wala akong magawa ngayon.  Bukod sa paulit-ulit na pagtulog at pag-gising, wala akong ginawa kundi kumain nang kumain.  Ilang araw palang lumipas ay lobo na naman ang mukha ko, tila marshmallow na punong-puno ng hangin.

Dahil sa wala akong magawa, nagbasa na lamang ako ng ibang personal na blog ng mga taong tinitingala ko.  Tinitingila ko dahil matagumpay sila sa sari-sarili nilang buhay.  Lagi silang nagpo-post ng mga kanya-kanya nilang tagumpay at lagi akong na-iinspire kapag nababasa ko ito.  Pero higit sa na-iinspire, nahihikayat akong magsumikap nang todo para maging katulad nila.  Okey ito, pero minsan, darating nalang yung mga oras na tatamaan ka ng matinding pagod at kalungkutan at maiisip mo na hindi madali ang buhay.  Kaya ang una mong gagawin ay kaawaan ang sarili mo.

At hindi okey yun.

Nagulat ako nang mabasa ko ang mga blog posts na katulad ng mga nabanggit ko.  Nabasa ko ang parehong mesahe ng kalungkutan at pagkabigo ng mga taong tinitingala ko.  Nagulat ako at naisip ko bigla, pareho-pareho pala kami ng mga nararamdaman.  Tao din pala sila.  May tagumpay man pero may pagkabigo din pala.  Isa lang ang itinanim ko sa isip ko pagkatapos:  Higit na matamis ang tagumpay kung ito'y dumanas ng higit ding kabiguan.

Wala lang..  Ngunit kung sa bawat araw ay hihingin lamang natin ang grasya ng Diyos na mapgtagumpayan ang lahat ng kahinaan, mas cool.  Ito ang pinakamatamis sa lahat.  Wala kang gagawin kundi panoorin ang kamay ng Diyos na kumilos sa buhay mo.  Magtiwala ka lang, at ipapakita Nya sa'yo sa bawat mong hakbang.

Do it

Tomorrow or on Saturday or on Sunday i will start doing my homework.  This is all i wanted to say.  I have to study.  I have a project and i need to start with something.

I know i am not making sense.  I am starting to fear again.  God help me.

BAKED Potato Chips

So... I've been eating this "Fully loaded Baked Potato" Potato Chips:

All the while i thought i was eating BAKED potato chips. Today i realized i was only eating a bag of Baked Potato-flavored chips.

 What i should be getting is this:
See the difference?

 First time i've tried this BAKED Potato Chips was when my Ate Sue let me try it when we where in HK. When we came back home in Manila we somewhat exchanged a silent vow to look for this bag of chips in the nearest supermarket. But sad to say, we don't have it anywhere here :(

And Now, Chocolates

Okay, if God will allow me to become another person, i want to be:

Number 1. A wine connoisseur
Number 2. A chocolate connoisseur
Number 3. An ice cream connoisseur (???)

But since God did not make me a connoisseur of any of these 3 but instead made me an eating connoisseur, i will then keep getting better at eating and instead share a couple of my food addictions with you.

For my ice cream addiction, there are 3 things in my life:
Number 1: Haagen Daazs Rum Raisin
Number 2: Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia
Number 3: Rocky Road Ice cream

For chocolates, i'm a big fan of dark chocolates. And because of too much watching Willie's Wonky Chocolate Factory, i learned a few things about chocolates and one day i just decided to try out some organic dark ones that i can take especially before working out.
At a deli yesterday, i spotted these:
It was a bit difficult to decide which ones to try but they say healthy chocolates (that are a great source of antioxidants) should at least be 65% and up so i decided to get the 80% and 72%.

And then i saw this:
It was my first time to see a chocolate bar that's 95% cacao so i thought it was cool and worth trying.  So i got this too.

On my way out of the deli i immediately unwrapped the 80% chocolate bar and popped a piece in my mouth.  I can't believe i was eating an 80% bar.  It was not too bitter, it was creamy unlike other dark chocolate bars, but what i was worried about was its sugar content.  It was a bit sweet, so i don't know what this will do to my once-a-week-sugar diet.  

When i came home, out of still too much excitement, i unwrapped the 95% bar.  I was too curious, i needed a comparison between the 95% and the 80%.  And i was surprised, this 95% bar was not bitter as i expected.  It was also a bit sweet, but not bad at all.

Well, about wines, uhmm, i'm lazy to put some.  Okay have to go.
