You know how it is with some people and certain food items, right? You must know someone who avoids certain foods because it makes them go funny in the tummy? I know someone who can’t eat Durian every time she’s in Davao, and it’s not because she hates the smell, which is a major turn-off for about 95.28% (buot-buot) of all people who hate Durian: in fact she loves Durian so much. So much so that when she’s in the mood for some Durian loving, she has to contend with 5-minute-apart trips to the room of comfort (the comfort room!), for a duration of 3 hours. Even more tragic is the story of a friend who cannot eat chocolate. She pretty much undergoes the same things with my Durian friend, but people, we’re talking about chocolate here!!! Isn’t that just tragic?

As for myself, I’ve just discovered my food waterloo: cake. And not just any cake! Thank God, because if it were, my life purpose of eating as many sweets as I possibly can would have been defeated. Now that’s a real tragedy-a whole new Romeo and Juliet at a much more star-crossed level, and consequently merits suicide (on my part, unfortunately) more. Anyway, I digress, but that’s how attention-deficit people are, really. Again, not just any cake, but chocolate cake with meringue icing!

So how did I come up with this conclusion? My formal education has taught me that the best way to arrive at correct and sound conclusions is by observation! That is unless your observation is against what the theories in the books say, therefore needing some doctoral powers on your part to raise your grades, which is truly the most beneficial thing for everyone to do under the principle of utilitarianism: you get your good grade, and your instructor/teacher/mentor/professor does not have to contend much with some work of crap. Again, i digress. As far as my observation is concerned, chocolate cake with meringue icing makes me do the 5-minute-apart bathroom visits for three hours. Definitely not a good thing to do if you’re not at home where a room of comfort is readily accessible.

How sure am I that chocolate with meringue icing is my bathroom trigger? Well, I’ve tried eating chocolate cake with butter icing, plain chocolate cake, chocolate cake with chocolate glaze (this is HEAVEN), chocolate cake with custard, chiffon cake with meringue icing, mocha cake with meringue icing, orange cake (chiffon cake + Royal true orange) with meringue icing, stand-alone meringue icing (this is LOVE), and a hell lot of other items not involving chocolate cake and meringue icing together, and I’ve never had any bowel problems. I’ve observed this problem before, but I never took it as seriously as I do now. Just imagine the horror if I had to go to some fancy party and they served some chocolate cake with meringue icing? As with dessert, I would have stuffed my face with the thing. Oh the horror afterward!!! THE HORROR!!!

Anyway, as I am lucky that this situation pretty much doesn’t make a dent to my dessert life, I’m not that worried. Just wanted to write it down just in case I forgot. If I did, and it so happened I’m with you when I forgot, my advanced condolences to you, my friend, for all the suffering you would have to go through.
