I was walking by Kenny Roger's today (fine, this afternoon), and Iwas hit by a strong craving for a brownie a la mode. But I shall not give in to my desire. No more luxury calories! So instead of having dinner, brownie na lang.

I hate cherries. They don't taste that great. A tad synthetic, actually. Pero nakalimutan kong sabihin na I wanted my brownie+ice cream poison sans the cherry. So it unwantedly appeared on my beautiful dessert plate. Imagine that. All that warm brown and white perfection, stained by a plastic-tasting blood-red fruit. Anyway, bahala na siya. Deadma ko na lang siya.

Tapos k ona ang brownie (at ang ice cream, duh) at natitira na lang yung cherry. Gosh. Binayaran ko rin naman diba? So imbes na masayang, kinain ko. Yuck.

Yuck!

Goodbye cheery cherry!

Naiwan yung stem. I remembered this movie where this girl popped a cherry stem in her mouth and then produced a mini carousel afterwards. Syempre, exaggerated naman yun, diba? But I decided to try the whole tie-a-cherry-stem-knot-with-your-tongue trick. Gosh ang hirap niya. And I bet I looked weird. Imagine that.

Anyway. Nagawa ko rin siya. On the first try. Am I not great? Haha. Sharing my accomplishments lang po. At syempre tuwang tuwa ako no? That's how shallow you get after going through 3 departmental exams. Justifying myself? Pretty much.

So where's the knotted cherry stem now? Pressed between heavy pages. To dry out. And it will be forever be in my vault of memorable things, knotted or otherwise.
