Caffeine-induced Hunger Pangs and the Insatiable Thirst for Mags
Tuesday, August 25, 2009
Meh....
I don't know why, but everytime I have a cuppa long black, I'll start to have these serious hunger pangs barely 30 minutes after I finished it! And I usually drink after my meal, so being hungry after a meal does not make sense. Trust me, I'm trained by my dad to eat til my stomach is close to bursting and is literally incapable of taking in any more food. So I'm not one of those girls, who has a stick of carrot and celery each.. maybe some green peas and lettuce and call that a meal. I live to eat.
So anyway, I don't know why I always feel hungry after a cuppa. And it's always.
Speaking of caffeine, I realise that it does not have any effect on me at all. In the afternoon, I'm still able to nap after a cup during breakky. I do know for a fact that it is all psychological, on my part, at least. That being said, I still feel more energetic on days when I have a cup in the morning. Self-delusions, I reckon.
As for my purchases of mags. I have 3 words.
HAVE. NO. SELF-RESTRAIN.
Completely none. Zilch. As long as I walk into a news-agency or a bookstore, that's it. It don't matter that the new issue of 'Time' isn't out yet. I'll move on to the likes of 'Vanity Fair', 'Vogue', or 'Elle'. Even 'Cleo', which I'm beginning to find very meaningless. Like their articles are becoming really superficial. Maybe it has always been, and I'm only discovering now.
I think my lack of restrain is a hide my longing for 'National Geographic' and 'First' (which has stopped publication! WHY WHY WHY?!). I try to purchase other stuff to fill this void in my life. Someone please come visit me so I can have my Nat Geog.. Or mommy, you just send them to me la. Heh...
There is no point in this entry, except to illustrate my musings. Relatable or not, well.. I can't help being queer.
