I was flipping through Direct tv local channels today when my stomach started to growl. It occurred to me that I had been watching television and working on my laptop all day. Now it was four o’clock in the afternoon and I hadn’t eaten lunch! I haven’t forgotten to eat lunch in years! I couldn’t believe that I did it today. I immediately ran and got something to eat. If I don’t eat sometimes, I get really bad migraines. By really bad, I can’t handle light or loud sounds. If I have a really bad migraine, I don’t even leave the house. Luckily, I realized that I hadn’t eaten just in time. I think that if I had gone just one more hour without eating that I would have most certainly gotten sick and would have not gotten all of my work done. It has been a year since my last migraine, but I couldn’t afford another one, that’s for sure! I would miss my deadlines and be in lots of trouble with my boss.

I stay skinny because I skip meals, but, of course, I am not proud of it. I am just lazy with fixing something to eat. I don't advice anyone to skip meals just so to lose weight. It is not the way to go about it, you can develop an illness doing that...I heard. Maybe this is why I am already sickly at my age. Anyway, I miss our Filipino food. I don't feel good sometimes just thinking how long I have been away from home and have not been able to taste our native dishes-cooking. It gives me a headache to imagine the food I missed. Hmmm...I may not show it in my face that I am dying to get home, but I do. I am desperate, and every time I hear someone going home, I wish I can go too. Oh, I really wish I can visit my homeland.
