i have opened numerous tuna cans using a knife
without cutting myself.
an acquired skill because there was a necessity.
if i failed to do it, i will starve.
it was during college days that you are so tired,
busy and hungry that you just have to eat
then sleep after a tiring day.
and it usually is tiring.

since the beautiful tuna cans are the only
ones that served as a decoration in that old apartment
and so as my staple food,
i am usually drawn to admire and consume it.
if i was a cum laude graduate,
i will be happy to endorse their products.
but no, it didn't made me smarter.
too bad.

but this is not the whole point to this blog
(as if i ever had).
these high-tech can openers are really great.
new designs made my life easy even if
it is specially made for right handed people.
i was a well adjusted left handed
who enjoys opening tuna cans using my right hand.
not that my diet didn't change from tuna after all these years.

but the big fuzz of a problem started when i tried opening
a bottle of sesame oil.
i thought that these expensive can openers
serve as a wine and bottle opener too?

i honestly examined it
and attempted to open that special bottle
for ten minutes.
yes looking like an idiot,
and maybe i uttered:
"Oble taught me a lot of things in life.
did UP forgot to teach me how to open a bottle
using a can opener"?

what if there is a bottle emergency?
and i'm alone and i cannot open it?

what the....

still, the bottle of sesame oil
is left unopened.
i have tried but always in vain.

but i know that i can learn
the skill soon.
i know i will...
