Illness and food poisoning will not stop this meat-eater from getting some good chow.
I finally hobbled my way to BudgetMart last night for some real food. Monterey Meats changed companies and phone numbers to “Carne Bora” , but not employees, so I couldn’t get anything delivered here.
- 21:30: I point at the huge hunk of beef in the display and declare my intent to get the whole damn thing. This confuses the guy so I said “the whole damn thing”. Also get apple juice and milk, frozen chicken, frozen pork tender loin, and bacon. Healthy stuff.
- 22:00: Make a drink of Tanduay in the kitchen but drink the entire liter carton of apple juice instead…then I drink the rum.
- 22:30: Cut the entire chunk-o-beef and marinade – only cook half. Drink more Tanduay.
- 23:00: Eating dead cow with lots of cayenne and Tanduay. Drink some of the milk.
- 24:00: My ‘cousin’ comes over and ask to turn on the aircon, says its hot. I decline. She doesnt like the spicy flesh of Mr. Moo. I drink more Tanduay and then some milk whilst attempting to do some college courses…I’m loosing interest in continuing my higher education. I remember that Cialis is a 3-day drug and put this to good use.
- 04:00: she tries turning on the aircon again, doesn’t happen but now that I’m awake, its time to build more international relations.
- 04:45: Treatise discussions are broken off as I rush to make a donation to porcelain disposal. Come back and she tells me I’m burning up…which is odd because I’m freezing and the aircon is off.
- 05:00 – 07:30: Multiple trips for Class I download. I can understand the Montezuma’s revenge as coming from a liter of milk, a liter of apple juice, and 2 kilos of really spicy beef. But I have no idea where the fever came from and why I’m laying in bed literally shivering while present company is visibly sweating lightly.
- 07:30: I wake up to turn on the aircon for just a tad, sitting in the chair for 20 minutes and turn it of before going back to bed. Shes happy now.
- 07:30- 16:30 I sleep deeply, all day long. Aircon is still off and I’m actually hot now – time to turn it on. O’hai Mr Cialis, you’re still with me I see! Aircon proves to be a good idea.
- 17:00 – 18:15: Sleep like a baby, but not feverish this time..leaves the aircon on.
I cant believe I slept that long. The food thing was easy to ID because of the timing and duration and other qualities not mentioned here. But the fever of that intensity coming on so fast and only for 12 hours? I doubt it was the food.

Sounds like a typical bug everyone catches once in a while in the PI. I have had this happen a few times to me.
