addictions
I can only name three of my favorite addictions in this world. First, food and eating. Second, internet surfing/googling/blogging. Third, watching TV. The craze that I have with food and eating is actually my most hard-to-let-go addiction. 40% of all the money that I get from my salary and blogging goes to food, and the rest goes to the family’s budget. To prove my love for food, it was only last night that I was able to consume about five slices of Yellow Cab’s 18″ New York’s finest. If not because of Mark’s/Ana’s/and Jofe’s whining about how oily and odd the pizza tastes after it gets cold, I would not stop from eating the last slice of it. Maybe I have a problem of overeating, but that’s something I am not really sure about.
Anyway, about the internet thingy, I am really into this stuff. Since I have earned a lot already because of blogging, it made me more attached to the wonder the internet gives to people. A guy that I know calls me “dik” in short for adik or addict, because he has noticed that I am always online in YM as early as 6:00am and and as late as 2:00am. I can name few reasons why I stuck myself in front of the computer almost 24/7. One is, through web searching, I learn a lot of new things each day, or at least, improve the things that I already have learned and acquired in the past 21 years of my life. Also, it keeps me up-to-date with what’s going on with my friends in gradeschool, highschool, in college, and the friends that I have met a few times ago through social networking websites such as friendster, myspace and hi5.
On watching TV:
Sad to say, we are not subscribers into any cable tv company that I can get to watch good tv shows all the time. It’s only when I get into Ana’s place or in Shindig bar that I get to enjoy HBO, Cinemax, Star movies, Nickolodeon, and Disney channels. Philippine TV shows make me bored sometimes. It’s because the ideas of most of the tv shows are almost quite the same. Poor guys or girls fall inlove with the elite ones, and that the family are against the relationship or something. In “action” shows, the police always come in late when everything’s already fine that all they have to do is just place handcuffs in the antagonists’ wrist. The same old stories and cliches–nothing new. ThAT’s why I so love the internet because I get to watch some korean tv series and shows at Youtube.com or in Veoh.com. At least, I get to enjoy other ideas too. But I love watching TV. Fine, in fairness to Philippine channels, the effects of the shows are getting better each time.
