A Monster's Tale

A hot day, it is, with the temperature and humidity both rising by the minute. It sure is a nice way to cool off in far away Baguio or in the cool waters of a swimming pool. But I've just been to Baguio and there is no pool in sight... What to do?


 
Fortunately, there is an Ice Monster outlet in a nearby building... Tempting, I should say. But heck, I can't eat much because of my slow metabolism.
 
Damn those metabolic rates!
 
But wait a minute, hot coffee (kapeng mainit)! They do have fruit flavors and toppings to choose from! Hmmm.... I might as well try the mango toppings, 'coz I'm a real sucker for mangoes. But the mandarin oranges look just as tempting... And oranges make my bowel move faster. OK I'll just have the mangoes. But the cookies and cream look more tempting than those two. Decisions... decisions....
 
I'm going to the gym later, so I guess it's ok to pack in more calories. But I've already had my share of cornicks and choco flakes from Baguio today. So that's like packing in about a million calories, versus the few hundred calories I'll be burning tonight. That would far exceed my daily caloric intake allowance!
 
Oh, well. Damn indecisions and cursed pride. I guess I'll just have to throw my diet away for a while. Besides, indulgence is better than diamonds at any place, at any time.
 
"One Cookies and Cream with extra Vanilla Ice Cream, please!"
