February 27 They actually get something rightThis is what my horoscope says today:
"There is a lot of tension in the air today, dear Sagittarius. It is not just your home environment that is affected. Everyone you run into on your round of errands seems grumpy and out of sorts. You will be happiest if you spend much of today indoors, in solitude. Books and videos don't honk their horn at you and curse your driving ability. Who needs the aggravation that days such as today can bring? Buy a trashy romance novel or rent a good long movie and enjoy a day free from other people's bad moods."
SHUT. UP. This is totally true! Usually horoscopes are made up of lies that entails general observation on life and offer general advice on how we should be more positive/ have faith/ blahblahblah... am really impressed with today's accurateness. Okay okay, so we can also argue that today's horoscope is also very general etc, but I really want to believe it okay! Shut up.
Trashy romance novel... it's been years since I picked up one of those. As far as trashy romance goes, I think the ones that I can stomach are by Amanda Quick, because they're fun and predictable, the heroines are not TSTL (too stupid to live), the heroes are not alpha-male brutes, and there's no annoying Misunderstanding by the hero and heroine that can be easily solved by TALKING TO EACH OTHER. I mean, seriously, there should be a coalition of romance authors to ban the use of any Misunderstandings as plot devices.
Now if only I can get away from work long enough to actually enjoy a day free from other people's bad moods... February 01 SickFor the past three (THREE!) days, I've been sick. Like, supernaturally sick. As soon as I got back from work on Monday, I could feel my body just completely disintegrating. My limbs felt all achy, major headache between the eyes, nausea, shivers, goosebumps all over my body except it was bloody hot... blerrghh. I asked my brother to check if my forehead feels warm, and he said it was searing hot. Pimply, yet searing hot. If I wasn't so sick I would've punched him right there. I don't need another person to comment on my very obvious pimple situation, okay?! So anyway. I slept... but at 3AM I woke up again because I just had to throw up. But the dizziness, OMG! My brother took me to the Selayang Hospital's ER (nothing too dramatic -- my sister works there, so it's easier to get treatment) and the doctor who attended me said that I have a high fever. Well, duh. She ordered some blood tests and while waiting around for the results, I told my brother that if I died then, he can have all the cash in my current account, but let Mak and Abah have the rest of my "asset" like my ASB, Tabung Haji, ASW, unit trust, etc etc. I know, drama. When the results came in, they said it's a viral infection and it will self-resolved on its own, and there's no medicine they can prescribed except "sage" advice like plenty of rest, drink lots of water, take some paracetamol when the pain becomes unbearable, and try to eat something. I was, like, this is why you need to go to medical school for five years? Really?? At least they gave me an MC for 3 days, so hooray for small favors. But really, not that hooray-ish because I have been optimally sick for the past 3 days. And now I lost my voice. My throat is so sore and swollen right now, that even swallowing is painful. Lying down is not an option, because my tongue would fall to the back of my throat and hello, very painful! Luckily we have a sofa that can recline (somewhat) and that kinda helped me sleep. Luckily also I have this laptop to entertain me in these very rare moments when I'm lucid and not wishing to die. I hope whatever virus infecting my body right now is having a great time in there coz its time is ending. SOON. OR I WILL FUMIGATE MYSELF IN ORDER TO KILL IT. You... bad, demonic, virus attacking small people who has no mommy to take care of 'em when they're sick! Now I'm dizzy and feeling sorry for myself. I need to go to sleep. |
