food trip

i decided to change some things in my diet. a few weeks back a friend got sick. although it nothing to do with relation to the cause of his sickness i was pushed to reflect on what im doing to my body. im really an unhealthy eater, i eat at way-off times in the day (4pm for lunch and 9 for dinner with no breakfast) and am a confessed carnivore, kung sa bisaya pa karne gyud. i only eat pork if i could help it. i never bother to eat other stuff even for just variety’s sake. now im trying to change all that. im not getting any younger and although im thinner than most people i might die first of a high cholesterol-high blood combination than, say faisal alih.

thus i am now eating my veggies and proud of it. im also now eating chicken and fish than just looking for baconsilog or lechon kawali. ive stopped eating the fat off my pork years ago but now im eating less of the meat itself too. im adding a little more fiber in my diet. i make it a point to have some greens. on some days i eat a fruit during my supposed breakfast time. it’s getting more expensive but i do think the rewards will be worth it. i was even surprised myself when on the morning after i decided to change my diet i ordered chopsuey rice and enjoyed it. i now buy oranges and apples and my favorite bananas for munchies instead of junk food (anyhow i dont really look for junk food).

musings

it’s thursday and i found time to do my laundry. on account that i couldn’t be in the house long enough to do it, my pile of dirty clothes has now reached a peak of a meter and it’s been about a month since my last washing day. congratulate me on this; it’s not easy balancing out domestic chores and really wild, time-consuming, mind-boggling, physically challenging, emotionally stressing academic requirements. grabe na.

we’re rushing the artwork of a comic book my group is doing, hoping to meet the midweek deadline we’ve set next week, and we have to do it in dennis’ house since he’s the one who’s got the scanner. then the files we’ve scanned are sent to mike’s so that he could color them in adobe. then later it’s in my house where we’ll layout our pages and burn it to cd so that we could send it to the printer’s in psd format. the creative and production process sounds easy but the logistical considerations are a nightmare and we don’t even have money to fund this venture yet. none of the companies we’ve contacted have returned call. and i as group leader, will have to carry all this and some as part of my responsibilities. heaven, help me.
