If I’ve gained any weight on this trip, it has been all in the last four days. On Thursday, I had a burrito. On Friday, I had a burrito and then nachos & margaritas at Chevy’s. On Friday I ate a cheese flautas dinner at Mario’s in Berkeley, and then later two slices of deep-dish pizza from Zachary’s. I’m feeling it all rumble in my stomach now.

And I’m pretty sure that instant coffee made by San Miguel (a beer company) that I bought in Manila doesn’t contain any caffeine as I’ve been feeling withdrawals since Friday. For all I know, it has beer in it.
