Here are the things that are taboo in my house:

1. Pancit Canton (lucky me, maggie, stuff like that)

2. Knorr seasoning ( you know, the black soy sauce type of thing you see at restaurants like Dencios)

3. Aji nomoto (AKA my lolas worst nightmare)

I’m fine with all these things because I know it’s not really good for you. But lately, there was one thing that they added to the list that I’m not too happy about. To those who know me, they know that this is a staple in my everyday life.

Yes, recently, my family added one more thing to the taboo list.

F.R.I.E.N.D.S

I know! I’m appalled. It’s Friends. I mean it’s Friends! Who can hate Friends?

I watch it when I’m sad. Or lonely. Or in the middle of making a life altering decision.

I know I watch it too much and blah blah blah. But come on. Doesn’t every one have that something that they want to play over and over again? Like their favorite movies or songs?

I just like watching it. Or even just hearing it while I’m doing homework or something. I like having it play in the background. I just like it.

I like how I know how all of the episodes end. I like reciting the lines. I like that there will always be something familiar. I always know what happens in the end of Friends. And I like that.

Thats probably all we have. We don’t know what will happen to us in the future, when we graduate and stuff like that. But our favorite show or movies ending will always be the same. It will always leave you feeling happy and contented. Which is not how most endings in our real life is.

So excuse me if i like watching Friends. Excuse me for “wasting” an hour a day to watch Friends.

It sure as hell isn’t that funny when you turn the T.V off and get back to reality of work and chores and what-not.

Oh pooh. Whatever. I just have to suck it up and watch it secretly in the next few days.
