…KFC, tHe WaY I wAnTeD tO bE

As I face the hurdles every now and then, in my busy days of the week, I also have to sometimes reward myself and give consolations. One is eating in a fast food restaurant, KFC in particular. Hahahaha. I love eating in here ‘coz I am used to this back home. I just go and eat to this place once in a while here. So I do miss it a lot.

One busy Friday, one of my new foreign friends came to my city. So I met her in the downtown during lunch time. We went around and did a little shopping. Then we proceeded to KFC, ‘coz for her, she miss eating in there, too. She added, they don’t have KFC, as well as McDonalds in her place for it’s a little small city than mine.

I was just amazed when we were already there, inside KFC, we were kinda puzzled what to do, for we were sure it would be hard to order again, as our usual problem ever here. But to my surprise, someone stood beside me and said, “Can I help you?” I was really happy hearing that. I didn’t know who he really was that time. Well, what I knew was he helped us. He can speak a conversational English. He ordered for us. Thanks to him.

As we savored what we ordered, I saw him at the other side of the eating place, doing like paper works with some other guys. Only to find out, he is one of the managers there. He was busy doing something there. We thanked him a lot. We even ask him to take us photos there. Very kind young man. Thanks for that. Somehow, I was invited to always go there. Hahahha. It’s my pleasure. Well, thank you so much. There are really a lot of benevolent people here. Thanks and have a good time.

Why do you know my whereabouts? Are you stalking me? Why? What are your intentions? Why do you do that to me? Why do you need to know where do I go and what do I do? I am scared of you! Do you know that? I couldn’t imagine why you’re doing this.

Sounds scary, right? Did someone do that to you? Did you have a stalker? Why? What’s the reason? Did you ask him about it? Were you scared about it? Interesting, huh!

Well friends, it’s not that serious. What I am talking about is different from what’s presented. It’s just that, I came to talk to some of my friends here in my city once in a while. I was just amazed that when I want to tell them something, they already knew it ahead of time. I was puzzled! How could it be? They just simply said, I saw it in your blog. I follow and read your blog all this time. That’s why I know about it. It’s just that, I like reading them ‘coz I can learn a lot, expressions, new words, thoughts, information and so on. So, I kept reading your blog. Wow! I humbly said, thanks for that. You’re flattering me. Thank you for always following me in my journey. Thanks for keeping me in your everyday activities. I am truly happy for that. I am eager to do the more. Thanks! Have a good time.

Thinking of the few days left for the incoming holidays, I couldn’t help but think of my forthcoming journey to the capital of China, Beijing. I am looking forward to those days. I am indeed very activated to have my travel once again. It’s been quite a long time that I haven’t done one, since spring festival. I just can’t describe my feelings right now. I am so high thinking of those days that I would be there. It would really be a dream come true.

Having almost two weeks holiday makes me energized all the more. I am making all my best in my daily affairs happily. I am very motivated to do things ‘coz it’s three days more to go. I am really looking forward to this wonderful trip. Thanks for this chance. I will just update you with all the happenings every now and then. Just keep in touch here. Have a good time everyone. I am very excited!

I am very happy today. When I came back to the office after our lunch break, my colleague greeted me with a good news, she already went to the station for my ticket. I couldn’t wait now. I am very frantic these days knowing that my trip is fast approaching.

I am going to start traveling on 28th of April, early morning to another province, Hebei, to meet my friend, Maybelle in Wuhan, its capital. I am going to stay there for about two days to meet some other friends, like April, who I met and knew since spring festival in Chuzhou. Then, on 30th, at the evening, we will proceed to Beijing, our real destination. And we would somehow arrive on May 1st. Then, we are going to roam around the capital of China, to the great wall, forbidden city, and some venues for the forthcoming Olympic games. I just wish the weather would be with us during those times. See you in Beijing everyone!!!

…rEaLLy ExPeNsIvE, hUh?

As I continue my everyday life, here in a quite and serene city, I found it strange lately. Really expensive, huh?

I went to the supermarket once, I proceeded first to the fruits section, ‘coz they are the majority of my concerns there. What caught my attention was the beautiful displays of mangoes, which I truly miss since we have a lot of cheap mangoes back home. They are so yellow, totally fragrant and look so fresh. I immediately bought 3 pieces. To my surprise, it’s pretty expensive. It’s worth 9.98 RMB or like 60 pesos. Gosh! Well, it’s just so rare to have them that shiny and beautiful, so I did buy them. It’s worth it, I convinced myself as I placed them inside my tray. Then I continued my grocery.

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!
