Good Morning, Sunshine!

For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been getting home to bed at around 12ish am. Argh! Too many things to do, too little time! So today, Wednesday, i decided to indulge a bit and NOT do anything. Just yet.

I woke up later than the usual, around 2:40pm. Yeah. I know. So I got off my bed, out the common area and took a shot of this timer thingy. (Poor lighting here in my room. Very.) Actually, that picture there’s a bit off. here’s the first shot I took: 2:46pm, January 5, Monday, 2004!! Waaah! And I never noticed before that!! So, after tinkling with the thing, I finally get to set the date right.

Damn! Is that temperature for real? 34.2 degrees celsius???? LOL!!!

Anyway, looks like my brother’s back in town. I woke up with pasalubong beside my bed. All the way from Iloilo - my fave BARQUILLOS (wooot!) and Butterscotch (the local version of Max’s Caramel Bars, which I still like better than this, not that I don’t like this at all hehe). Uh oh… this isn’t good for my diet.. not that anything I’ve been getting recently is.

Barquillos, to those who don’t know them, are sugar wafers flattened til it’s almost paper-thin, then rolled to a hollow stick. See pic. It’s sweet and crunchy. A bit messy to eat since you’ll get crumbs everywhere, so I decided to save this one til I’m fully conscious. I’m still half asleep at the moment. Hmm.. how else can I describe it…Think of a very thin crepe, rolled to a tobbaco’s diameter with a hollow inside, and toasted to a crunch, without losing the sweetness. MMmm….

Butterscotch are just soft sweet brownies (think cookie dough, without the chocolate). It’s softer than a cookie dough, and it has nuts in it. Yummy as heck. Addicting. One of those things you nibble on, and not notice that you’re going through half of the bag already until you feel sick in your tummy coz of all the sugar.

My breakfast: 1 piece of the Butterscotch thingy. I think I even took a pic of me with my “nibbled on” butterscotch lol

After a few minutes (more photos), Charm sends me a text message. “Patambay naman sa boarding house mo” (”Can I hang out there for a bit?“) Woohoo! Sure! And help yourself with the Butterscotch while you’re at it. hehehehehe… Less calories for me, good.

As soon as Charm arrived, I told her about it and off she goes to the fridge to get the Butterscotches! (That even right?? Don’t care!) Weeeee!! Hmmm… I wonder if Sonny’s gonna throw a fit when she finds out I needed help trying to eat sweets and she wasn’t first in line to get them? Hehe… nevermind, I’ll just make sure Charm leaves some left for later.

“If you’re on a diet, then why not just ask your brother to not send these things?” Charm asked as she munched on the Butterscotch. “Well,” I told her (as I was typing not munching, take note) “it’s sorta his simple way of reminding me the he luuuuvs me, you know?” Charm doesn’t look like she’s buying it..

“Plus you know, these are my faves and I do love eating em hehehehehe“. “Ah ok! Understood!“, she grinned.

I decided to put the goodies back in the box. And seal it. Not that THAT’s ever worked before. It didn’t work with the Caramacs. It didn’t work with the Royal Dansk cookies. The powers of Scotz tape isn’t strong enough to keep me from getting my sweets- har har

I don’t have plans today. Except check my emails. Tomorrow, lotsa things to do. But today… none.. damn.. I’m craving for Grilled Tofu! aaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!
