Fast Food Fanatic… Plus On Getting Stranded

Fast Food Fanatic

In the Million Insect Storm, the Constellations Form Since the fourteenth of last month, I’ve already eaten once in Tokyo Tokyo (I love their Ebi Tempura), three times in McDonald’s (I’m a cheeseburger fan), and four times in Jollibee. Maybe, there is something that they add in their meals they prepare which makes me and their other patrons come back for more, be it their specialties and even their desserts. I guess it’s Monosodium Glutamate (or betsin in the vernacular)… But MSG in desserts? That’s weird.

This all began back in the start of the second term when I met my friends who just can’t get enough of Jollibee and McDo (and when we get extremely long breaks, we even go to the mall to try other fast food chains). Prior to that, the only place where I frequently ate my lunch was in the school’s cafeteria. I’ve grown I’mune to the food they serve. Every vials that they prepare seemed to taste like with what I call generic foods (fried chicken, pork chop, etc.). But since those people I was with were fast food fanatics. I was forced to eat either in Jollibee or McDonald’s almost everyday.

I know, it’s not healthy, we can’t be exactly sure what are the ingredients of the foods that they prepare. Besides, we know for a fact that foods that were deep fried (like fried chicken and French fries) are rich in saturated fats. Seriously, I need to stop and control from eating such food1.

The only benefit you get is that there is only a small possibility that you’ll get contract diseases due to spoiled food. And in the event that you get such, you can sue someone and get compensation.

On Getting Stranded

Because of my high school friends’ persuasions, I decided to turn up to the meeting they’ve set a few days ago. I was hesitant at first because the previous week was another he’ll week. But yeah, in the end I met my HS friends. And we decided to watch a movie… guess what we watched? Due to unfortunate circumstances we watched Iron Man. I’ve already watched it last Tuesday and I didn’t imagine that I would watch it again. I had fun though. The last flick I watched twice in the big screen was Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

After the credits were rolled (where we saw weird credits, there was a chef and even caterer, drivers) and the bonus snippet, it was time for me to go. This time, I had to transfer to another jeep to get home from SM Pampanga. It was drizzling when we left the mall. But when I got off the first jeep, the drizzle turned into a massive pouring of rain. I was stranded. Everyone in the street looked for a shed where they could stay for a few minutes, and that included me. With this, I’m grateful to the Burger Machine stall where I stayed for a few minutes to wait for a jeep. I was only stranded for ten minutes or less. I even posted a tweet while I was waiting. I was like calling every single saint known to man for the rain to stop, but it didn’t.

By the time I got home. I was totally wet. My pants especially the bottom part was wet. The back of my shirt was wet. My handkerchief was wet. My hair was wet. My Chucks were wet (my socks were spared though). It was as if I had a bath on the road! I’m fine now. I got home safe and sound, and as what I’ve posted in Twitter, I’m dry now.

After other people blaming so many bloggers, this time, it’s my turn to blame Jmar.

I don’t want to be blamed so I’m not tagging anyone. Haha.

Birthday Bash

chocolate-coffee cupcake with mocha ganache and mascarpone cream Okay, my birthday is more than seven months away and I haven’t attended a birthday party recently but this post is about a party… a party that I want to have. This may sound really absurd to anyone who reads it: I want to have a children’s birthday party! Yeah, lol. I know, it’s weird. As a matter of fact, thinking of it makes me laugh like a person who lost his sanity (or have I lost my sanity already?). But I’m dead serious about this one.

I want to celebrate one of my birthdays in a local branch of McDonald’s or Jollibee where I and my friends can fill our hungry tummies with delicious cheeseburgers, spaghetti, fatty French fries, deep-fried chickens, and sundaes. Of course, there will be party hats in assorted colors, a banner that says “Happy Birthday, Christian!” with Ronald McDonald or Jollibee and their respective friends as its background.

There will also be an emcee who will host parlor games but the games will be uh, adult-ish. Lol. We’ll play an edited version of Trip to Jerusalem. The guys will hold bananas just in front of their pants and these bananas will serve as the “chairs.” The contestants will be either females or gays (to make the game more exciting and funnier). The contestants will circle around the guys sporting bananas in front of their jeans while dancing like a GRO in a far-flung cabaret in the tune of a novelty song composed by Lito Camo (God, how gross is that?). Once the music stops, the contestants will try to grab one of the bananas. The one who will not be able to get a banana is out of the game. The process will go on until a winner will be declared. Okay, I’m exaggerating. Loot bags will be given to the participants. These loot bags will contain but not limited to chocolates and candies.

Of course, there will be a special appearance of a mascot (I really feel sorry to those people wearing those stupid costumes) who will give entertainment to everyone who is in the party. Either Jollibee or Ronald will dance like there’s no tomorrow. And we’ll see if we can make Jollibee dance a folk dance (preferably Pandanggo sa Ilaw) or make Ronald sing.

I’m sure everyone will enjoy the party even though every bit of it is very childish! Haha.

So… will you join my party? Haha. Magpapa-cheeseburger ako!

Yeah. I have a new layout! Woot! It’s been a while since I last used a dark theme. I really like this one. I love its simplicity and the semi-transparent columns. But I’m not sure if this will work with older versions of the effing and the most ridiculous browser to me: IE. Expect to see some minor changes to this new layout in the coming days. A credit is due to this simple CSS trick to make semi-transparents columns and to imjustincognito’s amazing photo that I used as my header.
