How far can a PhP200 go?[day 1]

**PLEASE READ DAY 0 FIRST**

It's the start of day 2 now and I feel a little hungry. Wondering why? In order to make my 200 pesos reach 5-7 days, I need to be thrifty. Base on day 1's expenses, I think the maximum number of days my 200 pesos would reach is 5 days. This is not yet sure because on the next few days I need to go somewhere.

Today's expenses sum up to 35 pesos. I had two meals with one cup of rice each that costs 5 pesos per cup. My first meal, my brunch(combination of breakfast and lunch), was around 4pm and I ordered a small chicken adobo that is worth 15 pesos. Plus 1 cup of rice, so that would be 20 pesos all in all. I had a free Pop Cola from the eatery because the owner is my schoolmate's mother. That's not counted.

In my second meal, at around 7pm, I ordered something I don't know. I think it's called paklay. It's hard to describe but all i know is that it's cheaper than chicken adobo. It costs 10 pesos plus 1 cup of rice, that would be 15 pesos.

At the end of day 1, I spent only 35 pesos. Today is the start of a new day. I'm already hungry. I want to eat something. How far my 165 pesos can go?
