I was astonished when my phone rang in the mid of my discussion. I switched it off immediately. My students said I have to answer the phone. But I insisted not. They added it might be emergency, but I said, it can wait. I should not answer because we are having classes, I told them. Then, they shut up their mouths.

Right after I dismissed them for a five-minute break, I looked at my phone to know who called me up. A friend of mine here, and I phoned him. He was just telling me to go to the KTV after my class, same place where we had on my birthday. I said sorry ‘coz I had a class. Only to find out, it’s a friends birthday celebration. So, after I ended up my last class, 8:35 in the evening, I hurried to the place. They were already somehow in the mid of the celebration.

We were having like showdown, we were dancing and singing like wild animals. We had a great birthday celebration. Thanks for the great night pals. I did enjoy even to the point of losing my voice, to think I am going to have many classes the day after. But still, as if nothing is going on. I was even tired ‘coz I was from 11 classes that day. With my friends, I see to it I would be very happy and make them happy, too. I like everybody to be happy every now and then. Thanks for the invitation! Happy birthday once again, Flora. Wish you the best and have a good time.

Why is it that a celebration is always associated with food, eating, drinking? When did it start? Can we celebrate something without eating at all? Why is this so? Why do we prepare luscious food when we have big celebrations? Why do we need food even? Can we live without it?

Scientifically speaking, food is any substance, usually composed primarily of carbohydrates, fats, water and/or proteins, that can be eaten or drunk by an animal for nutrition or pleasure. Items considered food may be derived from plants, animals or other categories such as fungus or fermented products like alcohol.

Food is one of the highlights of a festivity. And all people like eating and drinking in any sort. It is even a waterloo for many. That’s why there are people who are overweight or who suffer obesity. They like to eat even more than what is expected. They can’t help but eat and eat.

Well, it is very advisable to balance our food in take. We should not eat to much of oil, fat and sugar. Dairy, meat and other protein should be taken less, either. They can make us fat. What we should eat the most are the following, carbohydrates like grains. Fruits and vegetables too, are good and have to be taken more. So eat a balance diet everyone. Have a healthy meal everyday!
