Worm-filled rice, anyone?

Yesterday, my mom and I had a little argument because of dinner. I got upset because I slept at around 7pm since I was already starving and no one's home yet. I woke up at around 9pm and went downstairs. I found my mom dressing up to go to bed. Apparently, she left money for me to buy my dinner since she'd be a little late. I didn't look at my money all day since I got too lazy to buy my own lunch, as well. So we had a little argument and she ended up storming out of the house and bought me dinner.


I went up to my room again and didn't go down till an hour later when the real pangs of hunger hit me. I saw that she purchased food from Andok's, which I actually appreciated when I saw it. My tastebuds are on a coup-de-etat against McDonald's already. There were two plastic bags. I opened the first one and saw two steamed rice. I checked the second one and saw barbecues. I was shaking from hunger already that I immediately took on of the rice and opened it.


Voila.


I almost puked. The moment that I touched it, it was actually really wet. I thought it was just because it was NEWLY cooked. When I opened it, to my disgust, the rice is yellow and green colored already. What was more, there were molds, the smell's really foul and the worst of it, there were flies. I immediately dropped the rice. I was so scared to look at it a little longer because at the back of my mind, I was so sure that if I poke it, maggots would come out. Disgusting.


So I immediately went upstairs and asked my mom if she had a receipt. She said no. I suddenly remembered that one bad thing about that store is that they never issue any receipts. EVER. I know that it's our fault, as well, since we should've demanded receipts from them but they we never do. So we can't blame them wholly for that. I went downstairs and stared at that rice.


What I did was I threw it out. I know that I might regret not taking a picture of it but I just consoled myself with the fact that the more I stare onto that foul thing, the more that I'm challenging the capability of my stomach, which, I might add, is not that great. I just made a mental note to never purchase anything from that store again and to, of course, write this blog.


I know that some people might say that I might just be a hater of that company but honestly, they're nippa huts compared to the mansion-like McDonald's, Burger King, etc., so what will I gain if I wrote this blog out of nothing but pure hatred? Anyway, it's not as if I'm begging you to believe me or anything. But once you experience that kind of stuff in your food, I don't think you'll ever get over it. Seeing things like that to stuff that you put in your mouth, it does things to you.
