*sniff* *sneeze*

Thought that was a joke huh? Nope it's not. That was what I've been doing recently. Sickness has dwelled on me, again. It doesn't really feel good to be sick (Who would certainly be happy when he's very sick?). With the recent news about the deadly SARS, I've been freaking out, thinking I had the disease. But luckily, I'm not hot right now (hot as in having fever k. what were you thinking?). And according to someone, this deadly disease is often characterized by a dry cough or shortness of breath AND a > 38 C fever. I feel like coughing but I actually coughed only once yesterday, and it was just a small one. So I don't have the virus folks. But I'm freakinly sick right now. And my suspect for this sickness is my old buddy since high school, STRESS. Over the past few weeks, I've been so stressed that i even forgot I existed. Quizzes, homeworks: the usual cause of stress. I've been sleeping late, with 6 hours as my maximum number of hours of sleep. And with the crazy weather this month, that is rain-rain-shine-rain-shine or shine-rain-shine-shine-rain or whatever, and the very humid environment I'm in, it's impossible for me not to get sick. The un-love for water has also worsen my situation. As what my mom said, "drink lots of water and your sickness will be gone". But hello, I'm not a water-addict, who constantly looks for water every 5 minutes or so. I drink water of course, but not that much. At least, I'm conserving water by not using much of it (huh? you don't bathe yourself?). Haha!

Enough of the water thing. Well, I'm sick (How many times have I been stressing this out?). And my mom and dad still don't know it. I don't wanna scare them, now that they've been reminding me everyday about the SARS thingy. They even wanted me to go back to the Philippines right NOW, but I can't. Studies first. They've been also suggesting that I buy a mask to protect myself from the virus. Well, I would, soon. I always obey them (always?). Heh.. But I'm really touched with they're concern for me. Well, normal thing for parents to do.

Ok, to another point. I'm still isolated. That's it. No further arguments or speculations or explanations.

But at least, it feels good. I can't be disturbed, I feel peaceful, I have privacy. Thanks to joycie and jussy, and I understood my situation. :D

Enough of this. Gotta go and eat some filipino or pinoy food! Yahoo! Actually, I've been eating pinoy food everyday, since my room is just about 50 meters away from the canteen selling pinoy food. Huh! At least I've gained something from my isolation: unlimited and easy access to my favorite dishes! :D

Ok, I really have to go now. I'm sooooooo hungry. My stomach's grumbling now, and my saliva wants to fall. And I also have classes this afternoon(haaaah, talk about stress).

Ok, ok, I gotta stop myself now! But... I can't. I'm glued to this diary. Oh no! (Sign of insanity. Don't go near me. Or else..)

Ok, this would be the last sentence...But I wanna share something! This would be the real last. Just for thought. And please try to think of it. :)
