chocolates = happiness :)

have you seen the new hershey's chocolates commercial? they equate hershey's with happiness. the chocolate bar they show on t.v., instead of having the word HERSHEY'S, has the word HAPPINESS written on the bar itself.

i was never hooked on chocolates. in fact, when papa would buy chocolates, he would only buy for himself and my brother. sila lang kasi ang mahilig talaga sa chocolates sa amin. they wouldn't share! ang dami nilang bibilhin tapos itatago nila! hahaha!

but things changed when i was feeling down a couple of weeks ago. i can remember that i felt so stressed out that i wanted to pop a pill! as in iniisip ko na kung paano ako makakabili ng prozac! haha! i was worried that i called candice, my super duper Maid of Honor and one of my closest friends who happens to be a doctor, to ask for help. yun nga lang, hindi raw siya pwedeng mag-prescribe ng prozac kasi hindi siya licensed for that. si inch daw, another barkada of ours, yung pwede (inch kasi is a psychiatry resident whole candice is planning to go into pedia). not that candice was also willing to give me prozac (ano ba yun!?!) but she asked me questions and tried to determine where my feeling was coming from. in the end, we both agreed that it was just hormones. so what candice and cris (candice's friend who's also a doctor) advised me was to eat chocolates. it's a natural high-enducer kasi. eh syempre masunurin ako so pinapak ko yung nuttela. shucks! ang sarap! ang sarap-sarap-sarap talaga!!!

and from then on, super hooked na ako on chocolates! sh**! i know i will super duper gain weight because of this (when i told inch about it, sabi niya effective nga yung chocolate pero tigilan ko na raw! hahaha!) but i can't right now. chocolates are just so good! the other night, i had a bar of cadbury hazelnut. yday, i had a bar of cadbury's roasted almonds for bfast. today, since paubos na yung stash ko, i had to make tipid so inabot ng until after lunch yung dairy milk bar. bukod pa yan sa mcdo choco sundae at kung anu-ano pa na kinakain ko pag nasa labas! geesh! it's becoming so bad! waaaahhh! hahaha!

o sige, gotta go. want to drop by mcdonald's before my meeting later to have a milkshake! mwehehehe!

Naku Clarice, alam mo ba na ang chocolates parang ding sigarilyo at alak? nakaka-addict! =) I've been a chocoholic all my life and it is sooo hard to just stop. Minsan, if I dont eat something sweet in a day, nadedepress na agad ako =)

well clarice, ive read an article that chocolates, aside from releasing endorphins - ung nagpapafeel good sa yo - is also good for the heart. it raises your HDL or good cholesterol, which in turn will help lessen your bad cholesterol. un nga lang, high-caloric content sha kaya yung recommendation, DARK CHOCOLATES. di mashadong nakakataba!!!
