It was less than a couple of months ago that the world went ga-ga for chocolate, with it being Valentine's day and all. And just over a month after that it went ga-ga again.. this time it's Easter.
Maybe it's just the lack of creativity, or the fact that after all the chocolate related holidays, I'm still sitting at my work desk, munching on peanut M&M's.
I've just come to a realization that we live in a pretty sweet world (technically speaking). When I was young, living in an Asian country, there wasn't alot of nice chocolate going around. So when my dad starts to travel the world on his numerous meetings and conferences, he always bring back tasty chocolate (which my mom proceed to hiding in her bedside table and occasionally place some in the fridge for me and my brother). But now, chocolate seems to appear in all types and sizes. There are chocolate bars (the actual sweets, not the place you go for drinks), chocolate fountain, chocolate scented orchids, and even chocolate hotel rooms. It's EVERYWHERE.
There was a time when I got bored of eating chocolate and it all seems so mundane. Now I wonder... would the brown beans loss their charm? Or would it continue to be a chocolate-(in)fest(ed) world?
