On the mend...

Thanks to modern medicine and some old fashioned TLC, I'm feeling tons better today.  Now my nose is just a wee bit congested, but my throat no longer hurts and my strength is returning.  Let's hope that I'm well enough to sing on Tuesday night.

I was able to see family that was visiting from Los Angeles, and last night went out to dinner at an Italian restaurant named Il Tinello.  Quite delicious!!!  I had the fillet mignon (took my leftovers home)... the meat was so tender I could cut it with a butter knife.  I stayed away from alcohol, and only had myself some hot tea with lemon and honey.  I also piled on the salad and ate fruit for dessert.

At least I had myself some fresh air and wonderful company while recovering.  A lot of the time, it's more than just meds and vitamins one needs to recuperate, but loving people and a quiet night with them.

great to hear that, Manang! Yaaay. I hope Tin S. will get to see you perform...! (im not sure when is she watching)

And yes, friends and family can help a lot in recovering from sickness. :p I got dengue last year and I had a bunch of visitors and people who called/texted me. It touched my heart because I was also suffering from an emotional stress that time. You'll be okey soon! :)
