just like home
most of the time i dont like to eat rice. 1.its somewhat of a hassle to make. 2.it takes a long time to cook. 3.its not as healthy as other choices of food. 4.it takes more effort. 5.i (usually) dont have anything to eat it with.
but every once in a while its nice to go back to your childhood foods...and this was one of them. it was actually quite ono! and it made me happy. :) the best part about it: 1.the rice was already cooked...i only had to warm it up. 2.it reminded me of home. 3.it makes me a "true hawaiian." :p
a choice
earlier tonight i had a complex. i made a choice, soon regretted it, couldnt do anything about it, and had to live with it. unfortunately, everything else seemed to make my mood worse. you know how that goes? you're already grouchy...and everything seems to get on your nerves?well...i had to make a choice. i didnt wanna be a grouch. so i tried to be optimistic, think happy thoughts, and look for the good. i even had to pray for help cuz it was hard. and slowly, but surely, i got over it.
my subway dinner was part of the happiness of my evening. its amazing what food can do for you. :) 1. it was free. 2. i didnt even have to leave the game to get it. 3. it helped me to be grateful.
the afterparty
there was an afterparty at the wilk to celebrate homecoming but i was pretty sure nobody would be there (or if anyone would...it would be lame). i mean, c'mon now...who's gonna wanna celebrate with such a sad loss? so, i decided to go home. when i got home from the game i felt like watching a movie. my roommate was in the mood for a chocolate mud pie (as consolation for the 7-38 loss) so i helped her make it, and then we watched nicholas nickleby. it was heavier than i was expecting...but good. it made me want to marry a gentleman.
it gave me motivation to "never settle for less."
it made me want to be more articulate when i express myself.
it made me appreciate family, loyalty, friendship, and trust.
it reminded me that happiness is a gift. and a choice.
the mudpie turned out to be quite yummy...it was rich, and warm, and creamy, and delicious! it reminded me of the chocolate cake at macaroni grill and the brownie dessert at carrabas. :) and the bananas made it ten times better!
im pretty sure my afterparty was better than the one at the wilk. :)

Good heavens! I can totally relate! These days all I crave is Cream of Wheat as a comfort food. And Josue makes such good Cream of Wheat (it's called 'corazon del trigo' in Spanish). And then on junky days I just want to eat fruit because I feel so yucky inside.
Good food, good company, good heart
