    HAY KASAYANG ni Clinton, so young to depart forever. Since having a family di na ako makabili ng newspaper thus I lost track of Clinton's food writings/columns. But what I remember is that he was fated to be malusog, more so when he was just starting out as a literature writer. I'd assumed na galing siya sa talagang mayamang pamilia and could truly afford what he eats and critiques, and has no need to work a bread & butter job because he was born with a golden spoon, thus he could write in peace without the existential "threat" of ending up hungry. One time sumulat siya about having ordinary instant noodles turned into a decent meal when he went home very late. With all the gourmet ingredients on his fridge, we finished reading his piece with the idea that the so-so noodles ended up being a ramen, with Clinton's touch. This is one guy I feel envious because though he was conspicuously from old wealth, he didn't ended up a brat, spoiled, mentally-challenged bum but was highly educated, and very brainy. No, he felt being an Ivy Leaguer in Massachusettes has become unfashionable that he went to England to prove a Pinoy can also cut it out. I wished the oligarch-owned, tax-dodging paper he was writing for upon his death will published a collection of his columns, thats a most welcomed memorial for the late great Clinton....
