filipinos love to eat and i am no exception. it should be no secret to you that i have been struggling with weight loss. although i look okay, part of me wants to be skinny. not model skinny but at least my ideal weight. however, that has been long in coming and i am quite frustrated at times.
on ordinary days, i can stop myself from eating too much- too much as in plenty of rice, sugar and softdrinks. i have curbed my appetite for softdrinks, coke specifically. i can manage to drink just water even during special occasions. eating less rice can also be managed but my Achilles heel is desserts and sweets. this is one of the foods i cannot resist. it's okay if i don't eat the main course as long as there is dessert.
march is graduation month. and this year, i have five cousins who are graduating. that means four parties since two of them are siblings. last night and tonight were the first two, two are following next week, i think. i had lechon skin for two consecutive days already. it's sinful but absolutely delicious. i even had to drink softdrinks to counter the fat (my excuse to drink coke!) and of course, dessert. but since i don't drink alcohol, i want to leave right after eating. hahaha!
my cousin likes to disco and since they're loaded, she hired a disc jockey especially for her party last night. he came with matching speakers, lights and lcd etc. it was really a spectacular setup, very much like in a commercial establishment. however, even if it was right there, i didn't even make use of it. yes, i was too lazy to dance and party. instead, we holed up in my aunt's bedroom and played with the kids. i had more fun there, by the way. when we did venture outdoors, the kids enjoyed chasing the lights. it's just too bad the drizzle dampened their fun. after a bit, we headed for home. not only because it was late but my nephew got hurt yet again. he is a clumsy one, that boy.
tonight, i am home early. i decided to go ahead to watch national geographic's special about malacang. i am interested in this because although i have seen malacang from afar, i doubt if i will ever be able to set foot in it- not that i have dreams of doing so. but i guess it would be nice to see the number one residence in the country.
i talked with my cousin earlier tonight and she said i missed last night's party. i told her i didn't miss a thing. i was there, i ate and had fun even if i didn't dance. besides, i felt too old compared to the gyrating fresh college graduates wearing skimpy clothes. my outfit last night felt "too manang" even if it was stylish. i didn't bear any skin, save for my legs.
tomorrow, i'm reverting back to my old diet and routine of not eating too much. i'll stick to it until the next party, that is.
