I just rediscovered that Yakult is the best in keeping your bowel movement regular. And when you want to induce movement, then drink it first thing in the morning. Hehe. But then you’ll end up going to the bathroom in the middle of the day, so be sure to have tissue and a tabo in your office.

There were also rumors that Yakult could help prevent SARS. Then the rumor was printed in a Hong Kong paper and everyone their started panic buying the stuff. The representative of Yakult was so shocked that he had to make a statement. He said that studies haven’t been made whether their product could actually prevent or cure SARS, but it’ll help keep you healthy and less prone to getting the virus.

Yeah! Go Lactobacillus casei Shirota strain!!!

I’ve been getting homesick this past month and pretty much everything I miss about Manila besides my boyfriend and my mom is edible—I miss sisig, I miss mangga’t bagoong, I miss Chicken Bacolod’s inasal, I miss Chickenjoy, I miss Royal Tru Orange, I miss my tita’s ensaimada, I miss Yakult.
When I was in the first grade I was only ever allowed to drink one bottle of Yakult a day because my yaya was afraid any more than that would cause my intestines to explode, or something like that. I’d never experienced bitter envy in my young life until the day I realized my classmate Louis had an entire twelve pack of Yakult in her lunch box every single day, which she would happily guzzle during recess.
The bitch.
