sick sick sick sick

i hope nobody else out there is presently sick like me.. i've had this very bad cold since..forever! anyone who knows me would know that i was born with colds. it's not like an allergy or something, it's just that probably, i don't know how to take care of myself that well. i've always had little colds, itty-bitty colds, big colds sometimes that last for weeks, but nothing like this wherein, for the very first time, i was so scared to experience a super headache, that everytime i blew my nose, there'd be a killer pain in my head!! as in. but how can i not blow my nose?? and there were times when i couldn't breathe, i thought i was going to die from lack of air! no kidding. this was the first time. then it developed into a cough with sticky phlegm (i know, i know, i have to go easy on the details, but i just want to describe it as vividly as possible..)

what a way to start the school year. classes in our school will begin june 13, and as much as possible, i want to enjoy the rest of my vacation, or at least grant my body total bedrest. i'm about to enroll in up also, and 1st sem classes will start next week too. my last hurrah for the summer break.. i'd like to share my other adventures after my bicol trip..

May 13, 2006. In spite of the bagyo in Metro Manila and Southern Luzon, our office proceeded to Laguna for our scheduled outing-cum-birthday celebration for 2 of our loved ones. When we reached Monte Vista in Pansol, we were surprised to see that it was overflowing with people!!

When we went home that night, we wished the mommies in our group a Happy Mothers' Day. The following day, it was my mom and Randy's mom. Thanks for all your patience and care.

May 20-21, 2006. Randy's family always goes somewhere for summer. This year we went to Bataan. His sister's friend has a cottage near the beach, and we occupied it for 2 days.

See the big rocks at the corner of the picture? I was amazed when I woke up at around 1am, went to the beach, and found that there were more and bigger rocks exposed because of the low low tide! The edge of the water was like 50 meters away from where it is seen in the photo.

Enough of my escapades for the summer. By the way, we just went to the school doctor, (all of us in the office have the same condition already!) and she prescribed us with antibiotics! That's how bad our viruses are! And, I learned this only today.. it's bad to blow your nose!! What the?? It's because she said it was going against the "normal flow" of the mucus! So that's why the eardrums are getting affected already from the constant blowing (aside from the sugat-sugat noses!). So I asked her what's to be done. You'll never guess what she said.. (wanna know? ask your own doctors, or me..)
