Culinary Chicks and Wishing Wells

I have 2 new Ideas floating around my mind these past few weeks.

1. I will Marry a beautiful hot Culinary Graduate.
2. Wishing wells are pretty good businesses.

1. I will Marry a beautiful hot Culinary Graduate.

I just realized i don't want to marry a doctor anymore. They're always not at home, and there's a high chance that they're smarter than I am. damn. I dont want to marry a Lawyer either, they Lie. 'nough said. A few months ago I saw Angelica Panganiban graduate in a culinary school, and the idea dawned on me: wow, i want to marry her, or someone like her. Imagine, i dont have to worry about what food to serve when i throw a party (no more microwaved popcorns! or expensive Pizza deliveries, or "alak nalang pare?") May asawa na nga, may tagaluto pa. I'll get to eat foods that i-dont-know-what-they-call-it-but-i'll-eat-it, bawat ulam may pangalan ng food sa baba na french na di ko rin naman maiintindihan. tapos ultimong tubig lalagyan niya ng kung anu-anong trip... hahaluan niya ng mint, apple, orange, chocolate, tapos Zero calories. wag lang niya akong lasunin, ok na yun.

Tapos, if ever we'll fight, she'll just bribe me with a sumptuous meal, preferrably italian, with loads of cheese, and BEER! and that will draw a smile on me, and we'll be ok na. But if im the one who has to do something for her... well... uhmm.. maybe ill hust sedate her? give morphine? make her drunk? haha.

Damn. it excites me. I want to marry a culinary expert. (Kia, hindi ikaw, pero malay mo may classmates kang hot? :D.),

but then again, love chooses nobody, no profession, whatever kind of person. when love strikes, standards and expecations are most of the time thrown out of the window. love is love. if i end up with a culinary chic, that's great. if not, that's ok, i'll just send my daughter to culinary school. yebbah.

2. Wishing wells are pretty good businesses.

Malupit na negosyo to. Ilang hollow blocks lang at isang bubong na may shingles, ok na. Yung lalim ng balon, kahit 3 feet lang, di naman nila makikitang 3 feet lang yun dahil bubudburan ko ng lumot ang surface para magmukhang malalim. Hindi na rin ako mag-aabalang i-maintain ito, the dirtier, the damn better. Mas mukhang luma, mas ayos, kasi mas mukhang ancient at mas mukhang may wisdom at mas mukhang magical ang balon. Pag nagkatotoo yung wish ng mga tao habang naghulog sila ng mga barya, edi ayus. pag hindi nagkakatotoo, di naman nila masisisi ang isang inosentang balon diba?

Mahilig ang tao sa placebo. sa false hopes. sa supernatural. Panahon na para pagkakitaan ang paniniwalang ito. Kung ang simbahan nga napaniwalang may epekto ang pagtirik ng kandila sa kaluluwa mong mababawasan ang kasalanun kuno, wishing well pa kaya? Di hamak na mas mura yun sa kandila. At least yun kahit ano pwede mong i-wish. Yung kandila sa simbahan, karamihan daw dun napupunta daw sa mga tao sa purgatoryo, kumbaga yung effect ng wish hindi 100% para sa iyo.

Every month, kokolektahin ko ang mga laman ng balon. Pag may nagquestion kung nasan ang mga barya, sasabihin ko, "kinuha ng fairy para iaanalyze ang mga wishes niyo." Mas madaming barya, syempre, mas malaki ang chance na matupad ang wish mo, pwede rin namang maghulog ng perang papel, ipapatuyo ko pa naman eh. wag lang credit card. wag na rin cheque.

Pag nagimprove na ang negosyo, magbubukas ako ng branch. Yung una, ilalagay ko sa UST Med, sa Gitna, dun sa may swamp na may turtle. Yung next branch naman, sa faculty of Civil law, tapos, sa Main Building naman, tapos, icoconvert ko yung fountain of Wisdom and Knowledge sa tabi ng arch of the centuries into big ass money-making wishing wells. yung parang sa mga SM Malls, yung maghuhulog ng barya sa gilid, tapos iikot ikoy yung barya na parang gagawa ng buhawi sa fountain, tapos magssquirt ng tubig pagdating sa gitna at may message: "your wish is being processed. add Php 5 Pesos to bypass the processing time. If you're wishing for love, add 10 pesos, for Grades, add 15 Pesos, for Money, add 20 Pesos. Then close your eyes while making bunot to your wallet and Let God pick the best bill you will offer."

whatever.

but, seriously, I can't believe people actually drops coins on wells... maybe it's the placebo effect. the false hope. the expectations. 'the secret'... well, if you actually believed it will happen, then, maybe it will? maybe they built wishing wells to fuel false hopes and eventually make it come true?

Interesting.
