Toblerone (the little ones) and An Incident With A Magazine

Maybe it's just me, but I find the little toblerones (a.k.a Tobleronini's) considerably more delicious than their giant counterparts.

I'm crazy about the stuff! We bought a couple of packs in Baguio (1 pack containing three Tobleronini's), and three of them survived long enough to reach Manila.

Now, there is only one pack left.

I haven't counted how many Tobleronini's I've consumed in the span of a few days... and I don't think I want to know.

My brother said that to burn the calories from one tobleronini, I'd have to jog 6 km.

I AM DOOMED.

*sigh* Never mind. A little blubber will serve me well in the upcoming months. Just as the camel drinks plenty of water in between desert expeditions, so too shall I store away fat for the dark and dreary days ahead (haha, the melodrama!).

Today, I went for one of my bi-annual hair cuts at a salon somewhere along Katipunan. (It's a really great place where they serve you complimentary iced tea and even give you a cold towel face/neck massage for free... how nice!).

They brought me a few magazines to read while I was waiting for a barber -- no, a STYLIST -- to attend to me.

Still sleepy from the cold towel massage, I drowsily skimmed over one R_ _ B _ _ _ magazine. Somewhere in the middle, a few pages were of different material (i.e. nonglossy). I glanced down, and to my shock there was a full-length, no-holds-barred "romantic episode" that would have been at home in any FHM / Playboy magazine (not that I've read one, mind you). 

I mean, it was practically porn!

The disturbing thing is, this magazine wasn't "one-of-those" magazines... I'd place it in the same category as Marie Claire or Seventeen.

And yet there was that... that... excerpt.

What if a little girl picked it up and read it? *shudder*

Nowadays, you can't judge a magazine by it's cover.

  1. I'm an avid magazine collector, but I'm honestly clueless as to what magazine that is. Oh well. I'm always reminded to always be careful with what I read. Totally applies to this one.

    haaay, in these times, its so easy to lose innocence. its frightening and sad. gone are the days when using the word "damn" (or having just a hint of adultery!) in a movie would be enough spark controversy...

  5. Hmmm... Cosmopolitan? It's said to be the more sophisticated, tasteful women's version of FHM.

    Bwahahaha!!! Nice way to look at gaining calories. What I do, though, is that I eat only enough to keep me from going hungry. I'm not on a no-carbs diet, but when I don't feel like eating rice, I simply don't, or I eat too little of it. That way I can binge when I'm presented with food that I really want to binge on, he he. And the calories lost from what I previously did not eat more or less balances out what I gain from my eating spree. ;p
