I was with a friend yesterday. We had pizza. I had five slices. She had three. She’s a lady, on a diet at that, so it’s not surprising that she had fewer slices. Regardless of the circumstances, however, I would still have eaten more. Once, my mother even said that I could finish one 12-inch pizza alone! I have not tried to do so, but I know I could if given the chance. You see, pizza is my favorite food. It has got to be the greatest food ever invented! However, pizza is not the only food that I devour.

As one of my friends puts it, “Pinanganak akong may vetsin (monosodium glutamate) sa labi.” For me, everything tastes good. I seldom meet food that I do not like. The only thing that I dislike eating is sinabawang isda because it gives me the impression that the fish in it is still alive, swimming in broth. Though I have always loved food, I was never really a happy eater. When I was younger, my family was never well-off, so my mother would cook only what is enough for everyone in the house, except during special occasions. I learned how not to crave for food, and I was able to apply what I learned, until one day.
