Food Phases

Wooohooo! Chocolate!

Happy Food!Yum Yum!

Huhu! Ubos nah!

Im in a CHOCOLATE phase for this week...Phases are crucial in life. It can either become an impediment or a benefit to one's development. As a bonafide foodie, I consider my FOOD PHASES as truly life changing. I take eating seriously. I relish each bite and I eat with my mouth and my heart. Don't laugh, Im SERIOUS as shit. (And yes, poop can be serious...especially when it's called diarrhea.)

Back to food, the way you eat says so much about yourself. Eating is character building.
I used to hate innards, i just can’t seem to stomach the idea that some animal's entrails will make its way into mine! Bleckkk. But then somebody forced me to eat “isaw”. Man the stuff was gooood! I used to be disgusted with lengua, I felt it's like french kissing a cow. But I got experimental in my eating, it’s now one of my favorites. Too much of the character building for me…

On the positive side, i love sweets...so that makes me SWEET! Ok ba effort ko sa analysis? I like spicy food, so that makes me HOT?? Ooohhh... hee hee!

Food Phases. What’s a food phase? It usually lasts for a month, sometimes it can stretch to 3 months..and interlapping of phases are common. It's an addictive cycle, once im fixated on something..uulit-ulitin ko siya hanggang magsawa ako. and by ulit, i mean everyday!! and once im in the mood for something, and im deprived of it..i throw a fit! an actual Food Tantrum! Maraming beses nang uminit ang ulo ko dahil na deprive ako sa cravings ko.. Sorry guys, weak ako..you just dont know what it's like..I cant recall ALL the phases, but here's the rundown of some of my phases...

Hawflakes phase (This was when I was in Kindergarten, We buy it at CVCSupermarket after the mass in Grace Park)

There are a ton more I’m sure :) My sisters have scolded me for eating just for the sake of munching. As in buong araw lang ako kumakain, nguya ng nguya kahit di naman masarap! I think i have a sickness! Fine, judge me! I admit it! Im a food whore! You know how all these skinny models "pretend" to eat when in front of people and say how they're naturally thin but as soon as they get home it's straight to barf zone..They’ve been living a lie! Shame on you skinny, anorexic models!

Have you seen shows of Ina Garten (Barefoot Contessa), Mario Batali (Molto Mario), Nigella Lawson (Nigela Bites) in Lifestyle Netwok? They cook great food. Lots of cheese, butter, meat on their dishes… and they actually EAT them. Sexy ba sila? Noooo! They’re real people and I love them! From this day on, I shall celebrate my love for food. Food makes me happy, it makes me feel so warm in the tummy! FOOD is my FRIEND and i should be proud of this!!!
