the “fever” thing….
last week, i only did one thing..i stayed in my room with a roll of tissue paper..oh more than a roll of tissue paper rather…
yup! while everybody’s going gaga over food, clothes, shoes, nice spots, and gorgeous faces, i was forced to enjoy the four corners of my bedroom (actually, it looks more of a dungeon than a bedroom..) kkk..paracetamol and a ‘dunno” antibiotic took turns in comforting me..hahaha! i was trapped in the verge of the thing we call, “fever.” oh, and not to forget, a soaring thunder sound of “cough!”
i feel sorry not for myself but for the persons i couldn’t meet, for the appointments i had to cancel, and for the special occassions i wasn’t able to attend…
i’m really sorry to a friend..
why? it was her wedding day last 20th of december and at the same time her birthday..but, i wasn’t able to keep my promise on that special day..i wanted to see her on her wedding gown with her husband to be but, i couldn’t. i’m really sorry..i know that sorry is not enough and it cannot suffice my absence on that special day of her life..but for now, it’s the only word i can think of..i hope that someday, i can make it up to her…i know she enjoyed that day..but too bad, i wasn’t there to see for myself…
i sent a message of well wishes..i hope it reached her…
then, i only got to spend dinner at my grandma’s house at around 9:30 in the evening..i had my slice of cake, spaghetti, lumpia, etc…it’s from my cousin’s birthday party too..
again, i wasn’t around during the party…
where was i?
i was in the university..i had three examinations on that day..it started at 8:30and it finished at around 9 in the evening…my friend and i were both running a fever while we were taking our last exam. thank god, we survived..
i didn’t have any choice..
i wanted to ask for a re-scheduled exam but it was our final exams..i have to do it on that day..and, as a student, responsibility as one comes first…sometimes..kkk! but in that situation, it’s a must to take my exams..again, thank god i survived..
the next day, i had to cancel an appointment ‘coz my body couldn’t keep up with it..kkk..well, i know that my body size is heavier than the normal (hahahaha)..but, my bad health condition aggravated that fact..hehehe!
everyday, we try to do our regular errands..we wake up in the morning, eat, take a shower then we go to work..or, some go to school..i’ve been doing both for the past 7 months? after work, i go to school..my first sem was thrice a week schedule..this recent sem’s schedule which ended last dec 24, was only on fridays and saturdays..but, paper works were everywhere…migraine and sleepless nights were my enemies for months and months…too bad, i never lost weight..hahaha! my dark circles around my eyes and complains on migraine were the only clear indications that i was indeed showered with sleepless nights..kkk..
i thought, the scene is really romantic at the crack of dawn..but unfortunately, the beauty of dawn was a proof that, i haven’t slept for a night..the beauty of nature was out of my sight…hehehe!
we all have our duties to do..but sometimes, much as we want to religiously do all of these obligations, we’re but human..we get tired..we complain..
in a day, unexpected things happen..we maybe feeling well at this time but who knows how would we feel after few seconds, few minutes, or few days..much as we want to do everything, we can’t..the least we can do is to feel regretful and to hope that next time, things will be better..
i could not have done the things i’ve planned because, unfortunately, i got sick..but it’s still a blessing in disguise..why? come to think of it, it was my fault..i’ve pushed myself too much..i’ve went beyond what i can normally do in a day..
my mom usually says, “have some time to rest.” i always answer her, “i can’t do it for now mama. i have to do this now.” sometimes, cramming is my game..i rush on things to meet the deadline..as a result, i end up making nights into days just to keep up with all the requirements..the worst part of it? i get sick…
as the new year approaches, i hope to be a changed person..i need to make a list for the new year..hahaha! i’d definitely include “quitting from the cramming game” as one..
don’t get sick pals..
you may have things to do, just take it slowly..
after all, life is too short to be wasted inside your bedroom while you cough and tremble ‘coz of fever..
’till next time pals…
