The Food and the Bad

Yesterday, my aunt celebrated her 80th birthday at a Chinese restaurant in Greenhills.

Food was plentiful - the traditional pancit, seaweeds with watermelon and ripe mangoes, nido soup, abalone with mushroom, crabs, and more. Best of all, there was peking duck, "two ways".

The cake was banana walnut. It had a lone candle which my aunt blew out willingly.

We were just two large tables of about 12 persons each.

Picture-taking, of course.

My brother-in-law brought me and mom home.

I immediately lay down to rest. But after a while, I started feeling bad. I threw up in the bathroom.

Looks like I ate too much.

I started reading "The Google Story" by David Vise. Very, very interesting. Such that, I woke up at 2 am to continue reading.

At past 5 am, a Client texted me telling me to report for work today and tomorrow. No prob.

Or so I thought. It must have been the kaldereta. I went to the bathroom twice. I had a bum stomach.

They were supposed to go to dinner in Valle Verde II but changed their mind because their youngest son has three tests tomorrow, including Pilipino! They brought me down at Eastwood Mall. Good thing I found a cab right away.

When I reached home, mom was waiting for me. We just had instant noodles for dinner.

Oh well, time to rest now. I have work again tomorrow.

  1. Tried Nido soup last year from like www.geocities.jp/hongkong_bird_nest/index_e.htm . Tastes really good... yeah, I thought it was gross at first, but wow, you won't regret it.
