Down for a bit

Some nasty virus hit me the other day. I was aching all over yesterday and had to sleep most of the day and the entire night starting at 7 pm. My lymph nodes behind my ears are swollen and I have sore throat.

I had been brewing tea to relieve my throat. I made myself Nongshim Bulgogi noodles, a little spicy soup that I thought could unclog some phlegm stuck somewhere in my upper respiratory tract.

It’s a terrible feeling. I haven’t tested myself for Covid. Please don’t let this be Covid because I can’t cancel my trip to Singapore. I will be leaving tomorrow at dawn. 🥴

I’m torn between sleeping the whole day today or shop for provisions for my family here. Don’t have any choice but to do both. Lemme sleep some more…


Ok so I forced myself to move and pack my stuff. As usual, my cats want to come with me.

And the girls and I went to the salon for pedicure and haircuts. I can’t look drab when I’m meeting hundreds of people and doing my Ms. Universe thing.

And I opted for a wash-and-wear haircut. Will be too busy to attend to my hair in the next 9 days. 🫠

This is our bonding day before I go. My girls are in their tweens and are now more aware of their femininity.

I can’t cook. Can’t bother. Too tired. What’s the use of being surrounded by restaurants when you’re not dining out? So here we are, having something hot and spicy for dinner. Hopefully my throat will be fine tomorrow. 🥴
