da tomāto

i'm nursing a cold and looked forward to get kamillosan for my throat. it was disappointing when the sprayer did not work. bought this kamillosan m spray this morning but i don't know the pharmacy's return policy, so i ran with what i had -- an extra spray-head. of course it doesn't fit, as luck would have it, so i hold it up unscrewed and pray the liquid doesn't spill when i take a dose. for my future reference, this costs P351.50 at mercury drug.

there it was. 38.4C, the thermometer said. i've boasted about being fever-free for more than a decade; good-bye to that.

at a quarter to 5pm, it was cool and dim -- bed weather, as one might say, just like yesterday when i was reluctant to get out of bed & start the day. yesterday, i took my time and my coffee went cold. i woke up to a bloody lip today; it cracked. i will smear lip balm before bed tonight, that should keep them lips cut-free until morning.

itlog na maalat + tomato + onion. marinated bangus , fried. fish tasted of vinegar and pepper. mouth-watering almusal . nom, nom, nom.
