Had a bad cold last night. I woke up this morning from an aching jaw. In fact, it felt like the lower part of my face was sore from the inside - gums, cheeks, ears, jaw... My cold was cleared up though. My sinuses must've been so congested that there was pressure on facial nerves and such. Since I couldn't get back to sleep (and I really wanted to) 'cause of the pain, I had breakfast and took a couple of Tylenol caplets. Afterwards, I lied in bed and waited for the meds to kick in. Good news is that I woke up a few hours later and my jaw was ache-free.

Ah, new blog layout and background, I like this now. It's fresh and clean. Now about that header...

"Brrr.." temps were felt yesterday. It's quite cool today too. Here's last night's warm egg-drop soup with those yellow sugary croutons that made the dish more sweet than savory. Made myself some decaf mocha tonight. That's with half a cup of hot water + half a teaspoon of decaf + 1 small sachet of Milo + half a packet of sweetener. Warms the tummy... mmm.

Still getting to know this phone's camera's settings - which work to get good shots and which don't since its auto setup doesn't take good photos at all. Here are some of its recent almost-successes: tinapa + itlog na maalat + tomato slices Having just one piece of tinapa doesn't seem enough, really. In this case, the fish wasn't very salty so I would've easily eaten two pieces at the time. Two would've been enough to finish all that rice.  This was brunch earlier: Mini hotdogs + scrambled egg + sweet sausage slice (longganisa). See how sticky and wet our rice is? That's what I meant when I said that it's not very good for fried rice. I'll eventually learn to work with this camera... future photos should be better, I hope.
