Color and Smell of Hunger

(For September 24)

I was once asked if why am I sometimes being “maldita” or angry. I answered them, “I’m really “maldita”, but it gets worst when I’m hungry. Yes! I get angry (most of the time), when I am hungry.

        For me, the color of hunger is black. It’s the total absence of everything that’s colourful and tasteful. I always joke to my friends every time I’m hungry and when I finally able to eat, I say to them, “my vision’s now clear.” What about its smell? Easy. The smell of hunger can’t be described by words, it really should be felt. Hahaha. When I’m hungry, my sense of smell gets really sensitive. Well I have to do that because with that single smelling, I can imagine the food and with that, it’s as if I’m already full.

        These past few months, I easily get hungry like I eat lunch at 12 then by 2 or 3 PM, my tummy’s already shouting, yikes! :D Yeah, that’s me. That’s the color and smell of hunger for an eater like me. J
