Up and about

Thank God, I'm well again, even though my throat is not really back to normal. My body is though and that is good enough.

Last night was the lowest point in my sickness. Could only meet T for a short time and couldn't even keep our plan to be intimate that night. Felt sick and could only think of sleeping.

Well, I'm really happy that this flu has officially passed. Now to get by voice back to normal.

Okay of sorts

Went out with my Australia friend today. Not really 'up and about' quite yet but I made this appointment ages ago and after not meeting him on Sunday, I should try.

It wasn't bad, except I keep wanting to lie down and sleep. :P

I still have a bad throat, so was struggling to talk.

Was so glad to come home and rest my voice. Really not well, going to sleep already and it is still so early.

Things are starting to look up

I'm so bloody bored at home. I've finished reading the book that I had (only 1 book!) and I'm just surfing the net and doing goodness knows what.

I'm the type of person that CANNOT stay at home for more than 1 day at a time.

As all can see, I’m actually much better today. With 2 days of sleep (slept almost 18 hours a day) I’d better be better or there is something seriously wrong with my body. Well, I am thankful for this sickness actually (Thanks Lord), I realised that I’ve been taking my health for granted, never thankful for it but took it for granted. How many of us are like that?

I’m not the type that falls sick easily. The last time a bug hit me was about 4 years ago and luckily I caught it early so it lasted only a day but this time after 2.5 days, I’m still not up and about as yet. There is still some lingering ‘sickness’ floating around in my body. At least tomorrow I’ll be able to get out.

Gosh, this sickness really got me. I’ve even lost my libido. Which is so sad. I hope it didn’t leave me permanently, that would really be terrible especially in a gay man’s life, a gay man who has a boyfriend’s life. Hehehehe…

One thing I realised is I do miss T a lot when I don’t get to see him. I think the best times I have are the times we go on vacation together. Being with him 24 hours a day is great. I hope that one day, we can live together. Gosh, I’m so nostalgic today, hmmm… really must see T soon or I’ll be totally bonkers with nostalgia and this journal will be SO boring.

I REALLY, REALLY HATE THE FLU!!!

Woke up feeling worse than yesterday, which mean I really do have to visit the doctor.

......

Well, the doctor gave me 2 days sick leave and I refused antibiotics. I really hate what it does to my body. I really believe that my body should be able to fight of this infection by itself without antibiotics. Yes, I’m a researcher who believes in holistic medicine very much like what the Chinese believe. Little do people know but in Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) the medicine you take in does not kill the germs, viruses, etc in your body but it boosts or strengthens your immune system to fight it off, that is the reason why TCM is never a quick fix, it takes a longer time for a person to recover from a sickness using TCM but the upside is that the immune system is stronger now and is less prone to the same sickness.

Hmmm… I seem to be rattling off a lot on this. Must be the drugs taking effect. I’m high, hehehehehe… stupid antihistamine.

Well, this would be another day of sleeping. Gosh, talk about overdose of sleep.

I HATE THE FLU!!!

Woke up and didn't feel right, had a sore throat. Not a big deal but as the day progressed (and I'm counting in hours here), I realised that my body was becoming rather hot (and not in the good way) and I was getting a temperature, I presume it was the start of flu. Tried hunting around the house for a thermometer, it's so odd, I know I had one and that the government gave us one but I can't find it anywhere in the house. In the end, I just took 2 Panadol.

I'm just so pissed off about this. I was so up and running yesterday and today. It was a great week for me. aaarrrrrrrrrrgh! I have a friend down from Australia and we were suppose to meet, I had to forget about it. Also told T about it. So the 2 of them decided to meet up and I was at home nursing a flu.

So slept for most of the day, taking 2 Panadol every 4 hours.

Hope that I'll be fine soon. Tomorrow would be great...... Lord you listening to me? :P Hehe… so demanding.

HAPPY 2005?

The New Year, so much grief.

This would be one New Year, which will be recorded as the biggest natural tragedies to befall men.

Recap:
On 26th of December, A magnitude 9.0 earthquake off the island of Sumatra in Indonesia struck at 0800 hours local time on December 26th. The massive earthquake generated a tsunami that has claimed lives in excess of 100,000 across countries including Sri Lanka, India, Indonesia, Thailand, Burma, Malaysia, the Maldives, and Somalia.

Even though it is not the biggest but it is the one which the world knows about. This is one time when the global village is becoming a reality.

I was talking to T the other day and said that this is not the worse disasters that we have come across in the history of humanity but it is the one that the world knew about almost instantaneously and the world was shocked and grieved with the people. The mass media, whether the internet, television, etc has brought this closer to home than previous disasters.

So this year, all New Year celebrations were toned downed all across the world. Those countries or cities that still had it had a minute of silence to remember the dead and their families. It was the first time the world has grieved together. The first time that the world was together as one in this.

Even as we enjoy this day and welcome the now year. Let us all remember the people that died in the year 2004 due to no fault of their own. The people who have been murdered in wars and hate crimes. The people who have been killed due to accidents and disasters.
