10-Minute Warning CLXXXIX

Hi, Diary. What can I type in under ten minutes?

After a whirlwind set of days filled with Foo Fighters euphoria, wandering around Singapore in a short period of time, returning to Manila, and then returning to my normal routine, my body’s truly waving the white flag. My muscles are still a bit sore, and my throat hurts. (In the first few days of having throat pain after the Foo Fighters show at the Singapore Grand Prix, I sounded like Lemmy from Motörhead.) And today, I’ve been coughing. Perhaps you can say that now I’m a flu fighter. And I’m fighting the flu with Bioflu, some hot honey/citron/ginger tea, and lots of rest.

But then my Father ordered me to finish some paperwork this afternoon. He’s also my boss, so I can’t say no to that. At least the paperwork is easy though. I’ve done them before anyway. It’s like muscle memory.

Speaking of muscles, my arms are in more pain than usual. Fuck. Even if I have more things to say and my ten minutes are still not up, I need more rest.

And that’s my update for today. See you in the next post. (And I hope I feel better when that happens.)

30-Minute Warning XXXI

Hello, Diary. It has been a while, and I missed 2 blogging days this week – this Wednesday and Friday. Let me explain my short absence.

The past few days have been rough for me physically. Remember the last time I blogged here; I said I didn’t get a fever even if I was expecting to? Well, the day after I posted that, I got a fever and my coughing and itchy throat became worse. Overall I officially got the flu. But thanks to plenty of rest and water, Koolfever, and Bioflu, I got better slowly.

As soon as I was cured of my fever and coughing, I joined my parents and cousin May in grocery shopping. I joined because I had a feeling I would see some 4-packs of Jack and Coke Zero in the store. And when we arrived and I checked the alcohol section, I was right – there were lots of Jack and Coke Zero. So I took 2 4-packs. Thank goodness.

After coming home from grocery shopping, I was told by my family to get some rest. Yes, I don’t have a fever anymore and I’m not coughing like hell, but I’m not 100% well physically. But before I got my rest, I had to work a bit. Good thing I don’t have that much on my workload, so I finished work early.

Anyway, I’m 100% well now and celebrating it by having an ice-cold Jack and Coke Zero while typing this post. I deserve this cool beverage.

And that’s it. That’s about it. Happy weekend!

10-Minute Warning CXXIX

I have some good and bad news about my physical health.

The good news is that I didn’t get a fever even if I’m expecting to. The bad news is that I’m still coughing, my throat is still itchy, and I still feel weak. I’m so weak that I skipped work today. I should have a checkup soon.

I wish I could tell more about what’s going on with me, but I truly feel weak. Get well soon, self.
