Cold/s Blues

It's Day 3 of my battle against this yet another cold virus trying to attack my system. I have not been taking in my daily dose of Vitamin C religiously lately but I have surely been eating a lot...sweets and junks included...haha. Add to that my daily lack of sleep and lots of sources of infection nearby- Kuya Lem at the office & Ate Angel at home...haay

It again started with the all-too-familiar-but-I'll-never-really-get-used-to sore throat. Upon inspection, my left tonsil's bigger than my right and I have this itchy feeling and overwhelming desire to take out my throat, wash it with vinegar probably, kill all the bacteria and viruses, then return it only when it's not itchy anymore. I've been overdosing with multivitamins and ascorbic acid for days, trying to stay away from any decongestants or any antibiotics in the future. I was beginning to have nasal discharges awhile ago which made sleeping very difficult, but I'm still hoping and praying that it will just go away without becoming any more serious. It's been raining all day outside and in my effort to keep myself comfortable and illness-free soon, I'm back in my daily dorm getup for four college years in Baguio- my oversized sweatshirt and pajamas.

I'm supposed to be doing yearbook work, with everything I need sitting beside me on bed right now but I can't seem to even begin editing one profile and all I can manage is writing and watching my favorite show at the moment-Frijolito!...hahaha. My unconcerned batchmates (those who weren't my friends) would probably comment some harsh, unfeeling words in their rage again, but I really need this time to relax, do something unnecessary but would make me happy, and enjoy bumming and resting even just for a few hours.

And so I write again, not because I need to but because I want to. My thoughts are pointless and nonsense for others; but they're sanity, solid ground, and soul food for me. I hope to write about reason, of more intelligent and wisdomful thoughts in the coming days when I get better. But for now, this is what I can do, not my best, but my own...
