Obsessed With Peanuts
I feel like a mice nibbling a piece of something when I am watching films or TV. Peanut is actually my favorite snack, if it’s the right term to use it. I used to hear my grandparents would say “eat peanuts, they’re good for the brain”. And they would never explain why, I dared not ask anyway. I’ve never liked chips and the likes just because they’re junks but I know there are many who are feeling peckish for such foods and having good health at the same time. With peanuts, I can eat it everywhere and anytime I want as long as I am not so hungry. When I was in college, I would always have a pack in my bag and take one or two to nibble on in the class. Nobody would notice that I have something in my mouth, ha ha!
Although some of my friends don’t eat much peanut because they’re afraid to get pimples, I am however, not affected by this conclusion. I haven’t suffered from this kind of skin disorder by eating peanuts, thank God, and the fact that I have oily skin. The healthful type of fat in peanut has been implicated for skin health. Others are just sensitive to food oils that they tend to get pimples or acne from peanuts. To justify my grandparents statement through a little research, peanuts are a good source of niacin, the organic compound that contributes to brain health, brain circulation and blood flow. With this info, I can now tell my grandparents that they’re right about peanuts.
But do you know that peanuts can be fatal to people who are having severe allergic reactions? The first time I heard about somebody died of peanut-allergy I thought it was ridiculous, I never heard anyone allergic to it before. It was when a girl had just eaten some peanuts, happened to kiss his peanut-allergic boyfriend. The boyfriend died in just a matter of minutes. From that time on, memos circulated in schools to ban all kinds of nuts in all food preparations. But me…..I’m enjoying my peanut obsession.
The Art Of Notre Dame
When I was young, I heard about the story of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. I even saw the film but could not recall what it was all about. What I remember until now is the misshapen bellringer that would scare me and made me not to watch the film again. He seemed to be mysterious and aloof to people. Anyway, I’ve learned later that it was a novel by Victor Hugo made into different film adaptations and even musical.
Seeing this Notre Dame Cathedral is not creepy at all. In fact, it’s magnificent architecture is admirable in all aspects. It’s sculptures and stained glass show the heavy influence of naturalism. This Gothic Cathedral is still used as a Roman Catholic cathedral and is the seat of the Archbishop of Paris. I’d love to visit the cathedral again after reading the novel so to create a feeling of being there in the place and in the story.
A Tribute To My Idol
I intended to post this Idol Meme by Jessie today as a tribute to my beloved idol who happened to be my father. He was supposed to be celebrating his birthday today, but he stopped filling his birth age since he succumbed to death 19 years ago. Yet, this day is still the day when he was born and we, the bereaved family, have always good reasons to reminisce the days when our father was alive.
Thanks a lot for this meme, Jessie. This makes me easier to pay tribute to my father without crying, I suppose.
