When we attended Jamy's birthday party and I got rained on, it made my body weak. Last week, my body can no longer keep up with the viruses attacking me and from dry cough, I got fever, endless sneezing, and lots of body aches.

Tuesday has got to be the worst day because it was when I felt wobbly, and that the steam inside my body was causing my eyes to cry. I decided not to eat dinner that day and went to bed quite earlier than normal, but then my coughs were really getting worse, and because it was dry, it felt as if the coughs were raking my whole chest. I had fever, yet I felt cold...and I couldn't sleep. Funny was that, after an hour or so of battling out the feeling, I got up, went to kitchen and fixed myself a corned beef sandwich. I was really hungry. Then I watched TV and went back to bed after two hours.

The next few days were okay for me, but it was only just last Friday that I could say I was already feeling okay. During my sick days, I only took one paracetamol - and I refused to take the BioFlu tablets my sister bought for me. I don't know why... whenever I am sick, I don't really take medicines and just let my body heal itself. I am not really a crybaby during these times, but somehow I missed my dad. I missed the times that he would by my "nurse" whenever I have the flu. I also missed the times my mom would scramble to find either a papaya or a pineapple for me because she knows those were my favorite fruits. I missed my brother cooking for me... but I don't know if I really had the flu because it went by so quickly.

As of this writing, my sinus area would hurt at times - especially that we went to the mall and it was quite cold there, and it rained hard again in the afternoon - but other than that, I feel very okay, and I can certainly go back to exercising tomorrow.
