Man Down

I think it's about time I update this blog. Alot of things are happening to me now. Some are bound to define the course of the rest of my life. I cant talk much about it now. Maybe sometime in the future. or maybe not if it doesnt happen.

anyway.

I was dead sick on sunday. Just like that. It didnt happen gradually. I just woke up sick. I had planned to go to church with the gang but when I opened my eyes that morning my head felt like there's millions of tiny explosions going on in there. I couldnt even move much. I forced myself out of bed to drink a glass of water. and crawled back again after half-heartedly replying some messages on the phone.

thats the problem with living alone. and thats the only problem with being alone. It's that when you're sick and most vulnerable, there's no one there for you. I've been living away from my parents since I was 14. So I'm pretty independent and stubborn in that sense, yeah.

by noon I woke up again because I was too hungry. I knew I had to eat something because I have a pretty severe case of gastritis. Found some stale crackers in the kitchen cabinet. But it wasnt enough...I woke up again at 4pm and instead of having just fever... I had a gastric attack too. It was excruciating. I wouldnt wish it on my worst enemy. or maybe I would :)

So I went facebooking and youtube-surfing to keep my mind off the pain. and when I got bored of those I picked up a book I bought from Nase's sister's bookstore; the harmony silk factory by tash aw.

Well..I survived, although barely. I felt completely fine the day after, thanks to all the well wishers :)


and oh, I'm getting a new roomate this coming July. He came over yesterday night to take a look at the place and he's pretty impressed with the overall tidiness of the place, given the fact that he's a tad OCD himself, that actually meant alot. which I thought was funny.
