You are bitter. That's why I used to hate you. But since adopting a plant-based diet almost a decade ago, I've learned to love you ampalaya (bitter gourd).
I had a traditional Filipino favorite breakfast dish, ampalaya with egg, for dinner. After the practice with the university swim team (they will have their pep rally in 2 weeks and I was asked to choreograph their number... it's pro bono), I decided to run for 30 minutes around the academic oval.
Running can be very liberating. It never really became a habit to run regularly. The last time I ran was last April 13. I know because that's was the last record in my HR monitor, and I don't run without it. And why am I running now? That's another story.
Let's fast forward to the dinner. So after the run I passed by the alumni center cafeteria to buy a bottle of water when I saw the ampalaya with egg on the food counter.
