100 days of nice. 100 days care-free. Then Aunt Flo came back for a visit. My face hurts. My pores are huge.

Malunggay pandesal and pansit. Scary, loud thunder. It happened twice within the last few days. Too close. No warning. The first one was the loudest. One big boom. If it wasn't for the rain that immediately followed, we would've assumed something exploded.

I can't make my blog look the way I want it to. Maybe I change my mind too often. Dinner was ginisang ampalaya (with onion and egg). We paired it with fried fish. I ate it with our home-made pickled ampalaya . I liked it all. It gets hot here at noon and it wakes me up. But it is nice in the evenings so I work comfortably. I'm surprised that I am not bald yet. The amount of hair that fall off in the shower is ridiculous. They fall with the roots too.

Sudden blackouts -- Another reason to use a laptop instead of a desktop pc - and I am considering it. While working last night, I heard a loud boom(!) from the street and the power went out! Waah, the machine! Electricity returned 5 minutes later, maybe less. I was too scared to turn the computer on again right away (and frying something inside ) so I turned the AVR off and waited 15 minutes. It booted up OK, no errors or anything. I did not want to keep it on any longer in fear of another blackout so I just shut it down properly and went away. I did what work I could do on my phone (which was not a lot - last night was not a productive night). What was that noise? It sounded like something blew up.
