sleep works

i have worked out 3 ways to fall asleep so far:

* read ebooks
i'm at the 700th+ page of the return of sherlock holmes. it's nice and long, a compilation of several cases to be exact. short stories make for good nighttime reading.

* play backgammon
i can't believe an easy level AI beats me. well, it wins occasionally but still... my motive is pride, you see. people at odesys did a nice job with their backgammon. if only they could work on their chess game which is so comically, pitifully predictable.

* listen to music
this is confusing. i have a "sleep" playlist (mostly with nick drake's songs) but i've not fallen asleep to it yet. i always sing along with it. i don't doze off until the music has stopped. strange. but i do start to feel drowsy after it's finished which is good. like i said, strange how that works for me.

now, i only do one at a time cuz a combo only stimulates my mind.

  Chicken Nuggets (Purefoods Chicken Breast Nuggets) Yum with BBQ sause. Sliced mango yung nasa taas, masarap din, matamis. Homemade Baked Macaroni Ordered from a neighbor for noche buena. It has beef, mushrooms and bechamel sauce. Still yum. Second year in a row na since  2022 noche buena macaroni . Pork tocino and scrambled egg (Pampanga's Best Original Tocino) with suka, syempre. Dry yung eggs huhu. Sinangag sana yung rice pero bagong saing kasi. Dapat sa fried rice yung day-old na maalsa para buhaghag. Speaking of... tagalog ako pero yung term na "maalsa" sa bigas, recently ko lang naintindihan 😁

Panda Express Everyday Bowl Delivery via Food Panda Panda Express PH:  "Everyday Bowl" 1 Entrée + 1 Side Orange Chicken + Fried Rice =  ₱  239.00  + rider's tip - discount voucher  Panda Express' orange chicken is already full of salty, sweet flavor so this many pieces is good for two if the other person is not very hungry. Bought their "Everyday Bowl" just to try since I was craving fried rice. Usually, I get the "classic plate" with 2 entrees + 1 side of mixed veggies.

Cold, Windy, Audacity, Congee

Lovely weather now. It's cold - not too cold that I have to bundle up - it's nice. It's windy outside too. Mosquitoes in my room are not afraid. It used to be that when you wave a hand over one that's "dining" on you, it would fly away. Now, when I feel an itch on my leg and put a hand over it ever so calmly, I squash the bug. Gross. Here was my dinner yesterday, chicken congee or arroz caldo . Suitable dish during cold weather 'cause it's filling and the spiciness from the ginger hits the spot.
