Maggi na Payless (hehehe)

D wasn't feeling very good tonight. He has a fever but still, he came to spend time with me. I was feeling a little guilty about it, coz I know he needs to rest and has to go to work tomorrow. But he said spending time with me made him feel a little better so I guess I shouldn't feel bad. I just hope that he'll feel better soon.

Earlier, D and I were trying to decide where to eat when he said we can just cook something at home. I really didn't have anything but he said if I had "Maggi" then he can make his own version of stir-fried noodles. I started cracking up when he said "Maggi." I was so amused because that is what we call top ramen back home! So there I was, talking to a guy who basically spent most of his early years in Asia and in a boarding school in London and he used the "Maggi" to refer to noodles.

When I was a kid, I remember going to the neighborhood store and asking the "tindera" (vendor) to sell me Maggi - even if it's "Payless." My mother used to asked me or my cousins to go buy Maggi for breakfast. I don't know, for some reason, when D said Maggi, it hit a soft spot in my heart and it made me feel closer to home.

Well, we didn't eat "Maggi." We ended up going to a Chinese Restaurant on Piedmont Ave. D ordered Hot and Sour Soup, House Fried Rice and Sczechuan Chicken and I had Prawns and Vegetables.

Okay, I'm off to my TIVO now. Gotta watch my recorded shows and try to free up some space so I don't miss any of my fave shows.

Nighty night.
