Another
typhoon hits the country and it’s raining hard outside last Saturday morning.
Because I’m a nocturnal being working on graveyard shift, rainy Saturday for me
means difficulty of going home. We cannot discern when the rain will stop so we
decided to go out of the office not minding the fickle weather.
As
fickle as it can be, the rain poured so hard when we’re outside. My shoes were
wet; the crying sky ignored my umbrella. We (me and my friends) decided to take
refuge on the nearest establishment called “Molito” (a small mall). Though
smaller than a regular mall, it has what we need, food and food. We’re so
hungry folks! A girl was standing on the main entrance with handful of
leaflets. She gave us one and we hurriedly went to the second floor. However we
hurriedly went down again to ask for another leaflet. Why? Because of the “Buy
one take one Meal” offered by Mang Inasal. It’s a chicken meal which goes with
unlimited rice. You know I’m a diehard fan of chicken so, no question from me
when they decided to have our lunch there.
sorry folks, this is the only picture I got
no camera on hand
I
devoured the chicken and 2 cups of rice for a nice price. It’s so delicious
especially when paired with an ice cold coca cola. The crew then offered me a
third cup of rice but it was I who said no. Hello, my stomach is so full. Imagine me - one of my hand touching my stomach and the other one swaying left and right as a signal to the crew that I don't want another cup.
Afterwards
we went upstairs because Raj-Raj (one of my friends) needs to buy something. We agreed that we’re all exhausted and sleepless so we decided to go home but
of course not until she got what she needs.
Came
Sunday morning my whole body has small red dots and my hands were itching. The
chicken no matter how delicious it can be, brings allergic reaction to my body.
I didn’t ate in moderation. I should only eat a chicken meal once in a week but
I broke the rule and this is my consequence, an itchy fever. Before the allergy
came out, I lavished myself the past week with chicken burgers (plural) and other
savory chicken meals for lunch and dinner.
If
you’ll ask me, will I break the rule again, honestly, YES but not until I get
rid of these itchy red dots.
