SPEED-EATING IN THE CITY.




Being a 22-year old career girl wannabe who works and lives in two differents cities, I am constantly on the go. Also, I need at least eight hours of sleep to function properly. Furthermore, let’s all pretend that I don’t waste my time playing Free Cell or pointing my camera at random objects like toilet bowls and pan handles. Lastly, please ignore the fact that a huge chunk of my day (roughly about 60%) is spent blogging or thinking of what to blog about next.

Seeing that my hands are regularly full with so many important things, I never have the time to sit down and enjoy a good meal (usually consisting of a Hydroxycut caplet, two diet pills, and a mug of warm coffee). This has terrible repercussions on my quest to be the poster girl for (failed) eating disorders. I mean, how am I going to throw up my food if I don’t eat, right? And because I’m not one to let my goals be trumped by such trivial matters (time constraints, work, sleep, etc etc), it’s only natural that I eat while I’m on the go— which is something that I’ve always thought of as not unusual. I can’t be the only over-sleeping, dilly-dallying, meandering career girl wannabe out there?!

Until I noticed the not-so-surreptitious stares that people were giving me, one eye-opening early Wednesday morning. I was racing home, hoping to walk through our front door by 630 (so I could finish working out by 8 and sleep at 9?), when I realized that I hadn’t eaten since the afternoon before. I made a detour to the nearest McDonald’s, ordered a you-will-be-flushed-down-the-toilet-in-about-an-hour meal, and continued my merry way home.

Hello, curious looks from random city people. What’s so weird about a 22-year old girl showing off exceptional coordination? I know that it’s not everyday you see a person walking through the hustle and bustle that is Quezon City on a weekday morning and successfully juggling a handbag, an mp3 player, a bottle of apple C2, and a styro-plate while shoving a bite of McDonald’s pancakes into her mouth…BUT MUST YOU BE RUDE AND STARE??? Get your own breakfasts, damn it.

    always on the go eh? it’s been pretty hard chasing life. it could be fun but being busy sometimes makes the life fun . if you have got nothing to do, it’s like what life is for?

    and oh btw, yeah. i hate when people stare. but i think it’s common in our environment.. i’m not saying being chismoso/chismosa is good but that’s just the way it is.
    it’s different when you’re aware about the environment and when you’re already snooping.

    I don’t mind when people stare. Because I do a lot of staring, too. I like watching people. But not stalker-like stares. Haha.

    Talk about multi-tasking! But it’s pretty fun to eat breakfast on the go, right? I feel so busy and important.

    I envy you Helga. You can resist food and I can’t :/ I also agree with kristine, eating on the go makes me feel all important and stuff. :)

    Try eating noodles from chowking on an FX-full of hungry people. You’d get lustier and gluttonous stares. It was fun for me. Hahaha!
