Entry 51: Sick... Laziness...

as happy as i was to be back...
never for once did i think that i would have gged that badly...

u see...
as many of u would have heard before...
when u travel to another country...
especially one where the climate and food are drastically different...
ur body would take awhile to adapt...
otherwise u may feel a little unwell...

which is exactly what happened to me...
when i went over...
the lack of sleep...
plus the sudden exposure to the cold weather...
gave a me a bolt of cough...
though quite a nuisance since i kept coughing...
it never manifest into anything big...

that was...
until i came back...

in the time i spent over there...
my body has adjusted to the cooler climate...
the drier air...

so when the damp and heated atmosphere hit me back here...
i got a double whammy...
and what was once a minor cough...
has grown itself into something bigger...

the worst of it all...
my resilient body refused to let me fall sick...
and succumb to the dark claws of the evil called disease...
so i suffered...
for days...
weeks... borderline plural case...

throughout the period i kept thinking to myself...
should i just collapse my defense so i can fall sick...
so i can focus on recovering...

fortunately after spending these past few days...
weeks... borderline plural case...
i am feeling better...

but it can't help but leave an impression...
somehow...
as much as i appreciate the efforts of my brave white blood cells in fighting with their hearts against such a formidable foe...
their kind intentions actually prolonged what would have been a normal case of flu...
into a majestic struggle of falling sick or not...

thank u white blood cells...
thank u for screwing me over...

hahaha...

there are a lot of things i missed over there...
the people...
yes...
thats one big part...

the simple way of life...
somehow although there is no lack of options...
amidst some restrictions...
i feel that life there is more carefree...
much simpler...
and i really liked that...

somehow when i came back...
and when life becomes less simple and much more complicated...
for reasons i cannot explain...
my mind has counteracted by being lazy...

that with the added effect of the er...
can i even call it sickness...
means that i basically did not do a lot of things i have set out to do...

photos are not arranged and compiled...
stack of stuff untouched...

maybe the simpleness was the perfect antidote for my laziness...

its amazing what 2 weeks can do to u...
so many stories...
so many things to share...

i will get to them again...
once i win over my laziness...

that battle itself...
is slated for another time...
