..just like peanut butter..

The temperature outside from where I am sitting this early dawn is about 17 degree centigrade, inviting enough for a good sleep. But I won't do such..I am on my little fave corner holding a container and licking the  kiddie spoon-filled with delectable peanut butter chunks (MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE!!) I always love peanut butter, the homemade one, most especially the surfaced oil when it already settled down..I can eat the whole thing until I can feel my jaw paining. I'm just really a low-cost maintenance girlfriend, but of course my guy could not feed me peanut butter his whole life. I don't think he would  want to turn his 25-inch waistline giifrlfriend to an indefinite waisted line wife,hahaha. 

Seriously, while enjoying my secret sin of munching over a container of peanut butter this early dawn, I find it  marvelous of the simplicity of how it was made: from the raw peanuts drained under the sun's heat to the grinding and cooking till it becomes the chewy, so yummy peanut butter I'm holding now. I still believed that great things in life are the simple and the basics. As much as I love peanut butter, I love the simplicity of my life. The idle times I'm just on a jean-shirt thing roaming around like a hot chick on flats,haha.I don't wear high-heeled shoes not unless I'm provoked to go on a party on classy dresses with cleavage out..I can get even sometimes=) Or on ponytail days with  my ready-to-go shorts and just spending afternoons on coffee shops sitting on a remote corner  on comfy couch..and once in a while declining a guy with lines like " I noticed you're alone". They are guys who cannot read a discreet gesture of " I want to be alone". They are like commercially made peanut butter who walks on a good package but once you tasted it, all you can say is "it's like the one I've tasted before, nothing's special"..

I surmised life is still a matter of choice. I could have chosen to doze off and dream of my prince who turned out to be a frog in my real world. But I have chosen to stay awake and provoked my endorphins (happy hormones). Sometimes, life offers us many "commercially-prepared-peanut-butter"  but it's up to us to make a selection. As for me, "homemade-peanut-butter" things, or those I'm referring to as simple and basics are still, and will always be on top of my list..

What's on your top list?

  3. I like this entry of yours not because I just had pandesal with peanut butter last night XD. But it reminds me of the choices you have to do in life and how a simple Peanut butter can pretty much relate to be anything that has value in our lives.

    Sugo is not like chocnut. It's just flavored nuts wrapped in small packages much like "growers" at the supermarket.
