So here i am in my room, where i was stuck most of the day since i called in sick from work. i haven't been feeling well lately. it's difficult for me to wake up in the morning, and by the time afternoon rolls in, my body will be aching, as if i have a fever without the temperature. then i'll be feeling so tired i just want to sleep. i've been feeling this way since i came back from CDO where i got a terrible case of allergies.
In my lazy, tired, semi-weird state, i decided i really needed to go to the grocery. i haven't done it for a month i think, and my supplies were running low. As it was, i didn't have dinner last night (i felt i was gonna barf any moment) and didn't have breakfast this morning (didn't have the appetite either), so by the time i finally did get to go to the grocery around ten this morning (good thing too since i completely forgot that my car was banned), i just grabbed everything left and right.
Doing the groceries has always been very relaxing for me. it relaxes me. so what i'll do is walk down the isle, one by one, as if strolling in the park, deciding what i would want to cook (wanting and actually doing it are two different things, mind you) and grabbing whatever. So there i was, hungry, thinking of my friends who will be staying over the weekend, and completely ignoring the fact that the fridge at home was cut down in half, and that most that i was grabbing from the shelves were either perishable or junk.
so what did i buy? I bought chicken breast fillet, chicken nuggets, chicken liver, and chicken soup parts. I also got two kinds of bacon, CDO and Monterey (it was almost half the price of CDO but almost the same weight so i decided to try it out). I got lean ground pork and a kilo of spare ribs. I figured i'd cook canton noodles, so with the chicken liver and some shitake mushrooms, beans, carrots, etc., i'll cook it on Thursday (even if i have to be in Makati Shangrila tomorrow and Thursday). Then i'll just have bacon and eggs with toast tomorrow. Maybe have a mango salad for dinner. Then over the weekend, i can make some sinigang or spicy spare ribs for my friend (for that i bought a McCormick mix). Then i also bought some sauces for pasta. OF course there's the usual supply of canned goods and hotdogs. The rest was just junk, i.e., a bag of ruffles and cheetos, a box of chocolover keebler cookies, oishi pan pesto thingy, eaji, nagaraya, 6 bottles of gatorade, 3 packs of yakult, one box of cereals, 4 tetrapacks of milk, one box of mango juice, one tray of eggs, etc. etc. Funny thing is, when i was done shopping and spending a scary amount on the groceries (i was forced to buy a container for my junk since i wanted the bad things out and the freshness in), i was too tired to cook anything and decided to drive thru McDonalds instead, where i bought a cheeseburger meal.
Anyway, so there i was, the whole day, aside from shopping for groceries, i just watched Bleach which my two close friends have been raving about. Last night, i was actually computing how long it would take me to finish the whole 6 seasons plus the OVA. With 137 episodes, and let's say that i'll be watching a couple of episodes a day, then that'll take me about two months...but having that obsessive character, especially when i like something (in other words, low EQ), i have decided to finish season 1 tonight, which is about 25 episodes. Yup, from episode 1, i am now in episode 24 and i am just waiting for the damn thing to download. i've been shifting sites where i can download it, because some are faster than the others, but depending on the episode.
So that's what i did on my sick leave...oh, but at least i got to cook some fried chicken for dinner...at least that's less space in my otherwise cramped fridge.
Aha, download is almost complete...can't wait to finish the last two episodes so i can take my sleep. it's already past my bedtime as it is...
