Most of the happiest memories we have as children are with sweets. Candies, chocolates, ice cream, COOKIES!!! Name it. I’m sure my childhood would not have been as colorful if it weren’t for sweets.

After eating breakfast, I opened the fridge and I saw a bag of Choey Chocos. I felt like eating candy for breakfast, so I took the bag and smuggled it to my room (hahaha! If either my mom or brother finds out about this, I think I’ll be dead meat…). But once I opened the stolen goods in my room, I discovered that the bag did not contain any choey chocos, but that it contained toffees that almost taste like butterfingers. Nyahahaha!!! Despite the lack of sleep, I think I’ll be über hyperactive today…

I remember this one time when I was still five. My dad loved to play basketball and bowling (and had the energy to play then), and he always brought me to his games. There was this bowling tournament (know where the Task Force Davao resides? That’s where they held the bowling tournaments then…), and being the eldest daughter (though I know my dad desperately wished for me to be a son, jajaja…), I had to be good and abide by my dad’s wishes. The venue was so crowded, and I was only five, so I perceived the men surrounding me as giants, and that got me pretty scared.

Then a ray of hope showed. I saw a girl my age among the giants! I approached her, but guess what she did. She shouted at me! I thought then, “Who in their right mind would shout at someone that way?” So I went to my dad and cried. I cried! Pathetic? What would you have done in my place, huh?

My dad, seeing how discomforted I was, took me to JMA (now Davao Central Convenience fronting Uncle Mark in Ecoland) and brought me a bag of toffees. I would say my joy then was equaled only by the joy I had when I discovered I was a dean’s lister last semester (89.09! Jajaja!!!). We went back to the bowling alley, but this time, I had a bag of toffees to keep me busy. When the other girl saw me with candies, she approached me and started being nice to me. I wasn’t the cynic then that I am now, so I gave her some of my candies, and I considered that day to be great for I gained a friend.

Anyway, back to the real point of this entry. The “steal” made me realize that sweets have been a great part of forming me into the person that I am. I have one of the world’s sweetest teeth, and I am not ashamed to admit it. Bribe me with something sweet, and I’ll do whatever you command (especially I you bribe me with cookies). Just a thing to think about for today.

P.S. I can’t believe it! The thirty minutes I spent writing this entry made me eat most of the candies I have (stolen)! I ONLY HAVE TWO LEFT!!! *Sob*
