Inday, is that you?

i've been in bed for the past two days with the same nasty cough/cold/fever that befell my sister and my lola last week. as long as i'm not missing anything important or fun, i don't mind being sick. at the risk of sounding like an anorexic freak, it sure is the quickest way to lose weight. but marlon's coming home this evening, so i guess i must say goodbye to this fabulous less-flabby tummy. comfort fondue at old swiss inn awaits.

the only drawback: the fact that i sound uncannily like inday badiday. i rarely ever lose my voice (i've kept it through pharyngitis, laryngitis and countless bouts of tonsilitis), so this is really freaky for me. i have the strangest feeling that hordes of little lost children are going to turn up at my doorstep at any moment.

saranghamneda, bo.

still twiddling my thumbs as my new raket seems to have hit upon a delay. so has the behemoth, after showing signs of life and promising to call yesterday to schedule an interview. it seems to have fallen back into its characteristic stupor. haaay.

thankfully (and surprisingly), my old teammates at the factory dropped some freelance work on my lap -- which only tells me that their workload must be reaching new heights. kasi naman eh.
