Reasons why this week sucked:
1. I've been sick since Sunday. It started with an allergy attack, and then it escalated to a full-on colds plus cough plus fever thing. I had to go on leave twice this week, and I'm still not better. I'm walking snot factory, I hate it.
2. I had tons of
work to do. I hate the bad timing. Why did I have to get sick during the deadline period? It was hard trying to keep my concentration while high and drowsy from all the meds I've been taking.
3. Between getting sick and all the deadlines, I didn't really have any energy left to go and look at things online. Now I have tons of feeds to read and blogs to catch up on.
4. Two of my closest friends left to move to other countries. Kitch migrated to Dubai, and Jerry migrated to the US. I hate goodbyes.
5. I had to turn down quite a few meet-ups with friends, plus time with the parents, because I'm sick.
6. I haven't been able to go to the
gym since last Wednesday. I'm too sick to go, and I couldn't even work out at home. I'll probably be back on Monday, but still, it's a week wasted.
There were a few good things that happened this week though:
1. I had fun writing a feature. It's been a while since I've written a full-length article, and I missed it. Thankfully, I didn't have writer's block the whole time I was sick. For some reason, it came easy. Thank goodness for small miracles.
2. Last weekend was fantastic, and the high I got from it sustained me throughout this whole week.
3. I got to watch a ton of TV episodes this week. My sick leave days were spent under a blanket staring at
Felicity,
Grey's Anatomy,
Heroes,
The Hills, and
Gossip Girl.
4. My mom bought me soup and jello cups because I was having a hard time eating anything while coughing up a lung. I love her so much.
5. Even if I wasn't able to go to the gym, I was able to stick to my diet. I have no appetite these days. Yesterday it was already 1pm when I realized that I hadn't eaten a thing since I woke up.
6. I might see
berry_mix today! Hopefully I'll feel better enough later so we can finally have some much needed girl talk.
Edit: Fark there was an explosion in Glorietta. We've canceled our plans for tonight. My friend Lawrence has a report over at
Inquirer.net.
