rice is indeed a staple food for us pinoys

my 'air continuous' was so useless as i was awakened by extremely warm and humid air at the wee hour of the morning. i couldn't go back to sleep so i decided to get out my room, tiptoed to the kitchen to find something to eat. as expected, living with my dad and my brother, there wasn't anything left to eat but the dead cold 'tsamporado'.

as i had only 'tsamporado' for breakfast, baked mac for late lunch and 'kutsinta' for merienda yesterday and slept early last night without waiting for the supper, i felt the need to eat something that has rice. so i ate a cup of the leftover chocolate porridge. i wasnt satisfied so i decided to check again for anything edible. good thing there was still a leftover rice. i can't cook, or should i say i don't normally cook at home. of all the household chores, cooking is something that i leave to the hands of the iron chefs at home (my father and my brother who are both so fond of cooking and eating as well). but when i had to, i can always make something that is somehow palatable (although rarely palatable ;P ), at least for myself. it was just past 2 in the morning and without thinking, i poured some oil on the pan, beat 3 eggs, then poured the eggs on without anything but salt, and viola, a dish! next, as my cats surrounded me in the kitchen, went the 'danguits' into the boiling oil, and thank God, they didn't burn this time :D . before i finally sat on the table, i chopped some tomatoes (yes, i eat them raw) and dashed them with a pinch of salt. set it aside while i chop garlic and onions for my danguits' vinegar dip.

i ate like someone that has not eaten for months! although the eggs doesn't really taste like eggs (it's bland but i am certain that i salted it) and i have chewed some shells at least twice while eating, i enjoyed my meal. for the first time, i enjoyed eating the danguit and appreciated the tasty pinoy staple food called rice. burp! excuse me, i'm full. obviously, as i still couldn't sleep yet, i went online. i'm about to check my fb for the mmac game that im so hooked up with :D good morning philippines, it's 3.49 am ^^
