Upon waking up, I found out that the pain I was feeling yesterday was a back pain, on the right side. I slept for 12 hours last night! (10:30 to 10:30)
My pseudo-medical findings are as follows:
I played basketball and exercised to the point that I got tired. I am right-handed by the way.
After basketball, I went home by bicycle (in ~15 minutes) carrying a not so light bag -- over my right shoulder.
When I got home, I did quite an extensive cleaning at the apartment! I would feel some pain, but I disregarded it.
After resting for a while, I took a shower.
Then I went back to school by bicycle (in 15 minutes) again carrying a rather lighter bag over my right shoulder. After about an hour in school, that's when I started feeling the pain.
Anyway, I guess it was basically over-exercise.
Today I took two Alaxans, one after breakfast and another after lunch.
I did some grocery shopping pala today, and bought ingredients for Sinigang. Can't find any kangkong though. I did find sitaw, okra, labanos, and pechay, as well as buto-buto pork meat. Of course, I have Knorr Sabaw ng Sinigang (Tamarind Soup Base) Mix from my mother, and Pillai-san had onions, tomatoes, Jalapeño pepper, and salt (he doesn't have patis of course, nor soy sauce). I also bought some fish for frying.
Anyway, so cooking I did at Pillai-san's apartment. Giang-san and Kawana-san also came to visit. I will soon upload the photos at http://ronjie.com/photos/2005.japan/food
The verdict:
Kawana-san said that the soup is too sour. I think Japanese don't like very sour food too much. I loved it. Actually, I thought that yeah, baka na-sobrahan sa Sinigang Mix and kulang sa pampa-alat (like patis)...
Kawana-san also said that the fish tasted like Japanese food. The fish is of course "made in Japan," but I did tell him that, this is one thing that Filipinos and Japan have in common: fish!
Giang-san said that the sinigang tastes like Indian food (e.g. Indian food that Pillai-san prepares).
The ever-so-kind Pillai-san says he likes the sinigang a lot.
Now here's the twist, we all ate Sinigang with CHOPSTICKS!
And, when we ran out of rice, Pillai-san and Giang-san started eating Sinigang with SPAGHETTI! Well, actually pwede naman, it's just that... ... :-)
