ramblings.

3 days ago i was feeling ok… then came the headaches. i thought it was just the sudden change of weather. damn mountainous areas for their very unpredictable weather. then came the coughs…once or thrice a day at first but lately the constant wheezing of my lungs bugs my ears every 5 minutes, causing me to stoop and droop and before I’d know it, im gonna fall flat on my face. okay. exag. but what the heck. i feel like my life is sucked out of me everytime i cough. last is fever. yeah. I know it’s the flu. stupid of me for not figuring that out quickly. then i could have done something about it. but I’ve been very busy lately. there too many things going on in my life right now that i forget to take care of myself.

if only the weather would cooperate. but no, the gods just wont allow it. I bet they have fun every time they see us confused about the sudden change of weather. get this:

9am: I go out of my room to check the weather outside and see what kinds of clothes and gear i should prepare. you see, here in mintal, we don’t have the luxury of having jeepneys all the time, how much more with taxis. sigh. all we have are the habal habal with their kaskaserong drivers who have no helmets, no licenses and no insurance at all. and yep, i still do wonder why I put up with all of those just to be in this supposedly ‘premier university’.

10 am: i go to school. its warm and dry, in other words, the sun’s up, I dress comfortably — jeans, tank and slippers. i thought of bringing my jacket with me but decided not to because it’s too bulky and it was too warm anyway.

11:30am: lunch. still warm. but i could feel the cold drift once in a while. i hope to god it wouldn’t rain and thinking of whether to skip school or not just to avoid the possibily of being soaked. then i remember that I’ve reached the maximum no. of absences allowed. damn. no choice.

4:00pm: wlang hiya. punyeta. it rained. and im soaked. shivering, i go home, and the next day i feel so bad i could hardly get up. no jeepney in sight, no taxi here either. no wonder i get sick a lot during the rainy days.
