I have this weird behavior of depriving myself of eating the food I really love: Shawarma, Tokneneng, and Siomai. Not that I cannot afford. In fact these are cheap food which can be bought anywhere. The reason why I put control over my cravings, is because I want to buy them in times I want to celebrate. Corny as it may sound, but these cheap food are what I feed my stomach on days I feel positive, light, or any emotion synonymous to being happy. They serve as my reward to myself.
Planning of eating them makes me excited. It's something I honestly look forward to.
I remember one charater in Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist. There was this Muslim Merchant who became the employer of the lead character for a particular period. I cannot really put into details the scenario, since I read the book in 2003, and have forgotten most of what have been told in the story. Anyway, back to the Muslim Merchant, he kept on postponing his trip to Mecca. Albeit what he had was more than enough already for him to make the trip happen. The reason why he could not materialize the plan, was for him not to lose the dream of going to Mecca. Once he had gone to Mecca, life for him was not worth living for already. He had gotten not just a dream, but a life's aspiration. So what else to look forward to in the days to come.
Although I'm happy most of the time (I should), it doesn't mean, I buy these food often. As I have said, I put it on hold. Until the cravings can be likened to a volcano ready to erupt.
If I was not mistaken, since the year started, It must have been more or less five times (only) that I had eaten a shawarma. As for the Tokneneng, my mother knows that I love this so much, so once she gets in SM Ayala, she sees to it that she brings me home not one, but two pieces of duck egg and it only happens once in a blue moon. Siomai can be bought literally everywhere, even served during parties here in the office.
Another funny thing is, once I buy the food, I eat it slowly as possible. I don't want to finish it right away. Basically, I eat so fast. My officemate even joked to me If I used to be in the prison (knock on the wood), because I eat like an inmate. I eat literally fast, but eating a shawarma, siomai, and tokneneng is totally a different story. I enjoy every bite of it.
Shallow as it may seem, but it's definitely me.

hi your blog is good. I like the food care to exchange links?
toink, ang mga links mo ya bala. balo man ko carried over na lang na from your other blog site.
nag liwat na ko gani liwat sign up. just one question: DO I HAVE TO WAIT DAYS FOR THEIR CONFIRMATION?
most of these require using credit card. i have been scammed by one of these internet schemes so i'm very cautious na when it comes to these. i will certainly try making money online, basta may ara maka una kag maka prove sa akon nga it's not a scam or something. so for now, hands off lang ko anay sa mga money making thinggys online. though i believe may ara gid man ya mga valid nga companies.
