Activity# 16 (Miguel Paz)
Food is the best thing there is. It’s what makes most of us. Food makes us better, energizes us. I can never imagine a world without food, a world of hunger and famine. If there ever was such a thing, THERE WOULDN’T BE! God gave us an abundant supply of food and never will we be hungry because HE LOVES US.
Many creative and cool people have invented different recipes for different kinds of food. Some are common, some are exotic. Foods differ in every country, which makes them unique. And can you believe that food is also a good way of communication and courting? Some people show their sympathy towards others through food. Food connects people and brings them together.
Food might be the answer to the world’s worst problem, misunderstanding. My mother once had an argument with my father. She made him his favorite food and that was the only thing she needed to calm him down. That was one of the best stories my mother has shared with us, it was simple but had a good morale in it: small things can make a big difference.
Moving on with the introduction and to my personal interests…
I, myself, am a certified FOOD LOVER! I love food, that’s all I can say. In my family, I am considered as the most “gluttonous”since I eat the most among us. Every dinner, the minimum cups of rice I’ll be eating would be two. I’ve never eaten supper with less than two cups of rice. I could settle with a small amount of viand, but I’d never settle with just a cup of rice. The only bad thing about my eating habit is it’s reversed. We have this saying that, “eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a beggar.” With me, it’s all the way around. I eat breakfast like a beggar, and sometimes I never eat at all, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a king.
Among all the foods served in different countries, what I like the most are the Filipino and Caribbean cuisines. Local foods are the best ones — adobo, sinigang, tinola. These are considered as some of the Philippines’ most famous food, even tourists find them tasty. What tops my list is a Caribbean one, which is why I included Caribbean cuisines into my favorite foods.
If chicken curry is what first came into your mind when you heard the phrase, “Caribbean cuisine,” then you are awesome have good taste. Chicken curry tops my list of favorite foods. You ask why? The first time I saw it, I was disgusted, but when my parents encouraged me to try and taste it, what the heck. The time it touched my tongue, I thought to myself, “Oh boy! I can’t believe I wasted a lot of time searching for better foods,when the best ones are just around me.” I learned a great lesson from here: “Never judge food by its looks!”
Computer games are creating a dumbed-down generation of children far more disposed to violence than their parents, according to a controversial new study. 
The tendency to lose control is not due to children absorbing the aggression involved in the computer game itself, as previous researchers have suggested, but rather to the damage done by stunting the developing mind.
