fasting

i will fast today.

(don’t ask why.)

Or detox, as Hollywood “celebrityhood” and locals put it — i just call it fasting. lots of water.   wheatgrass.   no mental activity. lots of water (did i already say that…?) no strenuous physical activity. but i can go without food for only  17 hours. big deal. at least i try. wheatgrass is technically food; but…. you know what i mean.

health post for today.

Does fasting work…?  don’t know,  don’t necessarily recommend it to anyone. it’s just that… there’s a monster inside this stomach, it eats big portions the rest of the time — the rest of the time there’s  mental and physical activity….so…  i fast when i’m able to slow down. don’t necessarily recommend it to anyone — get to know your own body.

17 hours is small-time compared to what others do, it’s not really fasting, it’s called… sleeping. okay, i already said no mental activity. photos of reunions later. ayt. xxx

[POSTSCRIPT: ACTUALLY,  i’ve come to thinking — IF YOU COUNT FROM LAST NIGHT, IT’S ALREADY THE TWELFTH HOUR! — i’ll be eating in a few hours! yehey! (my threshold is 17 hours, follow what works for you)… can  that even be called fasting? maybe just  slowing down and quieting up,   just took a 12-hour sleep and will defer breakfast… very big deal for a health post…]

propaganda value & the lucky color today:red

Del will go on detox

(a detoxification diet to cleanse your body of unwanted chemical elements) starting today and for ten days: she will eat nothing but the following:

12 tablespoons of maple syrup

lemon juice

cayenne pepper.

That’s for the whole day. For ten days. But she would still be working, attending to her restaurant and chores and running errands. I’m no expert but i told her that while she wasn’t eating any solids, she should just stay home and refrain from her usual activities. The detox looks like a Beyoncé diet (in an interview, the multi-awarded singer/ songwriter/ actress said that when she was preparing for a movie, she didn’t eat anything for two weeks and just stayed home; she had a difficult time because everybody around her were stuffing themselves with her favourite food…)

But Del will not stay home, she’ll go about her daily chores (Warning to viewers/ readers: Del runs marathons and has a good heart, literally and figuratively: Do not go on drastic diets without consulting a physician), so i said while she wasn’t eating anything but maple syrup, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, i would monitor her daily, especially after the second day. Just to make sure.

Maybe the better advice would have been: Let’s do a Fr. Robert Reyes (the “Running Priest) and issue a media advisory:

“Del fasts for justice and peace”

or she could say:

“my countrymen (and women): this is just a metaphor, just like President Noynoy’s ‘No to wangwang’ (‘walang wangwang’), my detox or cleansing diet is a representation of our campaign to cleanse our government of graft and corruption.”

(Oh, we could go to town with the metaphors. Everyone’s enjoined, boys and girls, to monitor her electronically for ten days).

And…

don’t think i forgot: your regular fare from this blog:

the morning show astrologer came out and said: “the lucky color of the day is…

red!” (that’s the public service for today.)
