how to enjoy your cup noodles especially in patay-gutom mode
In a way, my current feeding habits can put me in a category of patay-gutom. Especially during those nights (including this) wherein I’m sacrificing the little sleep I have left just to get a few steps ahead in my schoolwork (last sem na bai, i-95 na tanan!), and sneak in a few moments for blogging. I usually scavenge the entire kitchen and dining room for something decent (and not so decent) to eat. It just so happened that tonight is cup noodles night. Hoorah for the patay-gutom Andie!
The cup noodles aren’t mine, but the rightful owner has no right to get angry at me for taking her food. I asked! Although I seriously doubt she (Abi, my sister who’s also an adik like me, still awake at this hour, while she has a class at 9:15 tomorrow. She’s luckier than I am though. I have a class at effing 7:40, which I’ve been late coming to 4 times already!) listened. Her fault, not mine!
Anyway. Back to the point of this post. I love cup noodles, as they are fast hunger fixes, relatively cheap, and easy to steal if someone at home has stocks and I happen to be hungry and there’s nothing decent (or not so decent) to eat. Oh, but this time, I didn’t steal it OK?!?! I effing asked, man! Anyway, as I’m sure many others enjoy cup noodles more, as much, or even less than I do, I think we ought to put some variety on this thing. Here’s how I enjoy my cup noodles, and hopefully, it can give you ideas on how to enjoy yours in the future.
STEPS ON HOW TO ENJOY YOUR CUP NOODLES:
- Stolen cup noodles are the best cup noodles to enjoy because of the sheer thrill of it. The adrenaline rush brought about by the awareness of the possibility of being caught stealing cup noodles (nyaha!) is equalled only by the adrenaline rush brought about by the awareness of the possibility of being caught stealing forks from the cafeteria because you hated the plastic forks being stowed away in a drawer at the Kalasag office. But that’s not my point. Actually, I have no point, but here I am writing, nonetheless. My almost point (seeing as I do not have a point to make) is that for maximum enjoyment, try getting your cup noodles as illegitimately safe as possible. Illegitimately safe, OK? Ayaw gyud intawon ko ninyo pasanginla kung kulatahon mo pag masakpan mong mangawat sa tindahan sa kanto! Palihug lang gyud!
- If you are in patay-gutom mode, as I am right now, do not follow the line! You know how they put this line on the inside of the cup to serve as a hot water level limit? Don’t follow it. In my book, MORE SABAW = MORE ENJOYMENT. A good technique would be to put the noodles in a bigger mug and proceed with the regular instructions minus the line. And if you wait for 5 minutes, instead of 3, you’ll observe that your noodles get pretty softer and bigger, thus the appearance of more. More noodles (at least the appearance of it) and more sabaw is definitely heaven for a patay-gutom like me.
- Make sure that what you’re opening is cup noodles with soup, not yakisoba, or pansit, or other types of dry noodles. I don’t know how you see it, but as for me, I feel like I’m being duped by these dry noodle varieties. They tend to be a bit more expensive, but they seem to have a smaller yield compared to the soup noodle varieties. Other than that, opening the dry noodle variety while treating it like soup noodles may not always be the best idea. Although yakisoba-tasting soup noodles might not really make a big difference, especially in patay-gutom mode, I would still rather have my yakisoba as yakisoba and my soup noodles as soup noodles during normal mode (which might not be too normal for others). Although I should say that the soup noodles taste good yakisoba-style, this method isn’t exactly my cup of tea. Remember: MORE SABAW = MORE ENJOYMENT.
I guess that’s it for now. Better finish my noodles and my ethics bulletted (or bulleted, I am not sure) essay for Engineering Ethics later today. Jajaja!!! Essay na naka-bullet! Saya!
