And I was really down all day. As in literally down.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I could barely stand up because, for some strange reason, my head feels heavy.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">My nose and throat are all clogged up. My eyes feel so strained. </span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">My surroundings seem to spin when I close them. </span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">And because of all the phlegm inside me I feel so..viral.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Is this how colds feel like? I haven't had it for quite a while (I've always been proud of my immune system) and now it's a totally new sucky feeling for me.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I ended up not going to school. </span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I missed Philippine Government & Constitution and Information Resource Management classes. UGH.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I'm better now. I've taken my meds. One for the hangover-like headache and another for the colds.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">I whipped up quite an interesting evening snack that I munched while watching Hell's Kitchen reruns.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">What you're predominantly seeing are the cookies* but underneath those are chopped Fuji apples, bananas and cheddar cheese. I paired it up with Coke (my personal fuel) and it was sooo good. I hate veggies to death but fruits are my friends. The only setback was that the apples were a bit too acidic; it would've been perfect if they were a bit sweeter. And I wished I crushed the cookies.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Adios!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh3tDQzMuKv3DmDyoThP9eh7xsImVpM7tJ-8pamPPn04OYWmi-Xu4z5Gc7EbCxT8qqoGdAeX_l4XmJp2-uAVJDl2Da_DDowI1ZgK4lhK8eQGGJQ30f2q0PIVRn7-hmztRi-EiUdwfx7CGk/s1600/bye.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="51" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh3tDQzMuKv3DmDyoThP9eh7xsImVpM7tJ-8pamPPn04OYWmi-Xu4z5Gc7EbCxT8qqoGdAeX_l4XmJp2-uAVJDl2Da_DDowI1ZgK4lhK8eQGGJQ30f2q0PIVRn7-hmztRi-EiUdwfx7CGk/s200/bye.png" width="200" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></div></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />

</div><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">*The cookies are <u>Fibisco's The Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies</u> which I absolutely love because they're cheap, easily available and super delish. I never run out of it in my personal pantry.</span></span>goodmorningqueenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04140760089194823262noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1279623395099023818.post-11834624833484388512011-08-30T23:42:00.000+08:002011-08-30T23:42:56.405+08:00Clues and Cards<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">My college friends and I had lunch at TriNoma yesterday and there was this huge Toy Sale (Toys R Us) at the activity area. At the sight of numerous colorful contraptions, we, kids at heart, decided to check it out.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Toy Sale Thoughts:</b></span></div><ol style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><li><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>How do people define sports these days?</b> I mean stacking cups really fast is great but to call it SPORTS STACKING? Really?! </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;">Modern day toys are crazy. As in some are crazy awesome and some are crazy mediocre .</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-small;">I wonder if kids of this generation still play <i>Patintero, Habulan, Agawang Base</i> etc. I see kids at playgrounds and skate parks but I don't hear anyone yelling "<i>Taya!</i>" or "<i>Viva</i>!" anymore. :(</span></li>
</ol><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Anyway, I ended up buying 3 toy planes for my nephew whom I just love to spoil with pasalubong. Neko* bought Cluedo (more on that later).</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">We also stopped by Powerbooks and I (finally) bought <b>Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett.</b> Yey!! Will do a review on that once I finish reading it.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> <span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> We headed to Agent P's* house where we will be sleeping over. After we partly did our theses, we decided to play <b>Cluedo</b>.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">It took us about 30 minutes just to understand the game. We had instructions from the internet, from the manual that came with the board game and from those who have played the game before. That's about 5 different versions of Cluedo. Anyway, Cluedo, once comprehended, is a very cool game. It is, as stated by Wikipedia, "a popular murder/mystery-themed deduction board game". 2 of us were analytic freaks, 2 were higly competitive, 1 was a mystery novel addict and 1 was bored (oh..3 were working on their theses and decided to pass). IT WAS PERFECT. I had a blast. I highly recommend Cluedo as a sleepover staple.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Speaking of sleepover staples, another one is <b>playing cards</b>. We played In Between (a betting game wherein I was one of the first people to lose their money), the classic and idiotically exciting 1-2-3 pass and of course, a personal favorite, Egyptian Pokpok.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Here's a sappy epiphany: the simplest things in life, when shared with loved ones, make the best memories.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
