stoicism
the point of the title to this post is to lament my total lack thereof, rather than extol the virtues of stoicism.
the pain, acid, nausea, all of it, came rushing back this morning. my throat burns, my stomach burns, my oesophagus burns. i cannot down enough ice water in my desperate urgency to sooth the burning, [...]

mutiny
the rain came down in sheets just as i stepped out of my room to get a cup of hot chocolate (or cocoa au lait, as it is elegantly labeled) from the vending machine at the lobby. i wish it would thunder as well, just to match my somewhat mutinous feelings right now.
the pain and [...]

my brains be molding
i spent the better part of yesterday on the bed in a fit of anaemic dizziness, and could not even roll around to comfort myself because the slightest movement meant contending with nausea and a spinning room.
so i had to be contented with keeping my eyes tightly shut, and entertaining myself with strange dreams about [...]

the body rebels
but what against? i cannot quite tell.
since yesterday, i have been expelling… things… excessively from my body. i also have a fever, and a head that pounds mercilessly with just about every single movement i make. i am sure i have no bodily fluids left, and at this rate, will have no brain cells left [...]

nostalgia
i thought i really might die when i woke up this morning to an unending coughing fit, as my body worked feverishly to expel all the phlegm blocking up its airways. but the body does not give out quite as easily as i had thought (doesn’t it?). all i had needed was some good medicine and much sleep, so i [...]

if only
i am feeling particularly miserable today, and will selfishly parade around in all my tragedy queen airs.
i don’t think any flu has been as misery-causing as this one (but i say that all the time). my nose and my throat are in one accord as far as phlegm color and volume are concerned… and my [...]

when a flu is no mere flu
i am rather aghast at the turn the flu has taken, after spending an entire day ejecting blood… blood! from my nose and clutching my chest in pain as the hacking cough went on and on and on. and all the while attempting to make a decent book out of somebody’s idea of primary one [...]

midnight ruminations
waking up ten minutes ago with a sore throat so bad i could not sleep, i prowled the house, gurgled with salt water, and sat down to work with the tissue box parked next to me.
i hate having the flu.
went to bed with a fever and the shivers, praying to be well enough to work, at [...]

faint
it’s awful being unable to control your life like this. to wake up and see the world spin around you, and feel your stomach churning, churning, churning. i don’t know what to do. i can’t work. i can’t watch tv. i can’t sing. i can’t eat. hell, i can’t even really move. urgh.

jokes for sick people
i haven’t awaken from the drunken stupor that i fell into somewhere between japan and singapore. everything seems to be getting worse just as it seemed to be getting better. after having spent a mini bomb on what they call a specialist, the cough seems to have made up its mind to remain lodged in [...]
