NOpe. I'm not turning into a masochist.

The words above characterize the things that I have been going through this past week It's amazing how 4 monosyllabic words can sum up my week.

OUCH!

My hands felt clammy, my vision was blurred, I was breaking out in cold sweat, I was hyperventilating (in the bad I'M-GONNA-PASS-OUT-WAY) and to top it all off, I felt so weak. I thought I was going to die. As in drop dead on the floor. I clutched at whatever bannister or just anything I could hold on to. That was Sunday. These past few days I have been having a headache... a mild one but nevertheless still a headache. I hate headaches because they make me irritable and I can' t get much done.

YUM!

I have this thing for melted cheese on steaming rice, maybe because I miss the Baked Cheesy Lapu-Lapu on Rice at Mr. Choi's. A trait which my parents have passed on to me is when you want something that you can't have just yet. you go and create something just like it -INNOVATION. So instead of feeling deprived, I decided that I would create my own "baked" cheese rice melt. I have to make sure that the rice is steaming hot and that's when I plop the Kraft Singles slice on top of it, the warmth and steam of the rice just melts the cheese and so voila! Problem solved.

I like salty foods, it's something that my dear maternal grandmother passed on to me, and so I am freaking out because we ran out of bagoong na alamang . I mean how can I survive without it? Just writing about it makes my mouth water. My sister is so lucky, she'd be going with my mom back to the Philippines soon, to get her teeth fixed. She gets to eat tokneneng, baggong at manggang hilaw, halo-halo, sisig, Jollibee(sobrang miss ko na!), Chowking and all other stuff. Of course we can buy bagoong (I like the Barrio Fiesta brand) at Lucky Plaza, but then we just never get around to it.

Oh NO!

Jennifer SMSed me and said that "IT WAS RAINING A LOT" so the classes were suspended. I thought she was just kidding, that maybe it was only a medium strength typhoon, not enough to warrant headline news on channelnewsasia, I was wrong, it was an ultimate flood, aptly named Milenyo, internationally known as Xangsane. I do hope the high intensity winds won't damage too much houses, although that will be impossible. Judging from the photos I've seen it's really sad for those who live in the shanties, I just hope that there won't be any more casualties. Look at this photo, I got it from INQ7 site:

My prayers go out to everyone.Heard that power was restored and people have been cleaning up.
