sometimes it really isn't worth the effort to get out of bed.

got up this morning to eat spicy tuyo that i had delivered last night. i ordered tapa but then i had to order something else to make sure i'll make the 100 peso floor for delivery. so i thought why not order breakfast too and hit two birds with one delivery guy.

so there. heated up the food, ate without much gusto and went back to studying. my back was aching so i headed for the sofa to read. two pages down the line i was asleep. i had slept at 4 am and gotten up at 730. so it was understandable that i would be sleepy come 930 and after a full meal.

slept till 130. gosh. was slipping in and out of my nap (if you could call it that) because my sister was talking to me. i'd answer and promptly sleep.

anyways, got up and took a shower. i felt human again.

lunch. looked for food in the ref. given the chance the food in there would have walked all by themselves.

checked out the cabinet. 1 can of sardines. 1 can of corned beef. settled for the sardines. when i threw the can i looked into the trashcan. styrofoam packs from cravings (roast beef and bolognese -- spoiled which i ate anyways coz my nose wasn't working, but that's another story). styro packs from tapa king. hormel luncheon meat can. tuna can. corned beef can. lucky me noodle packs, sisig pack. (all visible because the trash can's big. i wasn't rummaging, mind you.)

damn. i've been eating canned goods, processed food, and take out food for the past week. i'm going to die soon. when they open me up, my stomach will be lined with ads and brands.

well that was a long introduction. i have digressed. going back to why it's not worth the effort to get out of bed, after eating that sardine meal, i decided i wanted real food.

i wanted sinigang. so sinigang it is. decided to go grocery in shoppersville. grabbed my jacket and walked and stepped on my glasses on the mat. naturally i didn't see it coz i was blind without it. i put it on the mat for a while to rest my eyes. it was bent horribly out of shape. did what i could and they were serviceable after a while. so off to shop.

did some shopping. got back into the car. car wouldn't start. i was hungry, it was hot in the car, and i wanted to pee! popped the hood and fiddled around with the wires. car started. sigh of relief.

it was going to be dark soon. headlights. no headlights. no horn. but i had hazard and break lights. there. is a God.

headed home and started cooking. checked mail while waiting for the food. checked on this buffy episode i was downloading which i had partially watched. clicked on my touch pad to resume the download. and hit cancel.

F@%#^! tried to resume the download. naturally it went back to zero. the stuff i had downloaded just vanished into thin air.

i'm having a murphy day. what can go wrong, did.

i wish i had just stayed in bed.

but then maybe my luck will change after dinner. at least i have sinigang. :)

by the way, this was the high point of my day. was still reading the reviewer in criminal law. i quote:

using the kottinger test for obsenity::: "a sexy dancing performed for a 90 year old is not obscene anymore even if the dancer strips naked. but if performed for a 15 year old kid, then it will corrupt the kid's mind."

unquote.

where do these people get their examples?
