After weeks and weeks of erratic sleeping hours, unhealthy meals, weather changes, over working and an overall unreasonable shift pattern, I'm sick again. I was sent home from work today, and when I got home, fell into a deep, deep sleep.

In a little over 3weeks, I fly home to Manila. It's good that this bad case of headache, fever and flu came sooner rather than later, or else I'd be feeling too ill to endure the loooong flight(s) back home. Not a good way to start my much-awaited holiday.

And because I had no one else to prepare arroz caldo for me, I settled on making myself a large pot of chicken soup Pesa style. I had a spoonful and was immediately comforted. Nothing good old chicken soup can't cure. I'm feeling *quite better* already.
