Yes ladies and gentlemen, this female blogger is sick.
Miserable, hot, weak are some few words to describe yours truly right now.
From the moment I woke up this morning, I already had a tummy ache. But still, given my parents’ strict training, I trudged on, coming into work late but still showing up.
The whole day was a blur of activities.
My boss has assigned me to take on some roles of persuading a few of our clients to do some deals with us, so it’s been busy. Plus, a few more requests popped in my mailbox.
But by noon, while working out at the gym, I already felt awful. My knees were knobbly and my tummy started giving me trouble. I was weak, just weak.
The afternoon passed by quickly, as I sought to remain productive even though my body was slowly yet surely breaking down.
Come 4:30 pm, I couldn’t take it anymore — I knew I had to go home or collapse right there.
I got home in one piece, barely made it and plopped to the bed and slept. Unfortunately, my friends K, M, T and C kept on ringing me so I was woken up a couple of times, dozing in and out of consciousness. Was supposed to go have dinner with K, M and friends but had to say no (which was so unlike me) because my body was really hot and weak.
It was really miserable, and I realized that you can only value your health after you lose it (mental note to take care of oneself better next time).
Come 9:30 pm, I woke up again.
I was starving and since there was no food in the house (blame it on the convenience of Taiwan), I had to go out and seek out food.
Felt like a caveman there.
The restaurant downstairs was already closed, so had to walk a few minutes to the Hsinyi Eslite Bookstore to grab some grub. The result? A hopefully, not-so-oily Pho dinner.
I was reenergized again and the fresh air did me some good, compared to being holed up in my messy bedroom.
But after a few minutes, I was weak again, and went back.
So what is this lady going to do tomorrow after all this torture?
PAINTBALL!
*shrugs*
Sponsored by my company and already asked my friend to go with me so hard to back out now.
But hopefully, I can survive the day (alive).
And one way to help ensure this is to sleep early and hope that I can recuperate soon.
Till then, and pray for my survival lo. 😛
And yes, I do admit, it seems that I am on a suicide mission.
I know, we have to be crazy sometimes.
Have a great weekend!
hey raven,
something must have been totally going around. i was so sick the other day i could barely move.. luckily it didn’t last more than a day.
what did you think of the eslite pho? i didn’t like it.. reviewed it on my blog.. but *sniff sniff* i think the authentic vietnamese pho place i found is closed down.
Yes, I agree. Seems like a lot of peeps I know are getting sick as well. Maybe you have great immune system, that’s why you recovered so quickly.
Eslite Pho’s okay, I’ve had better. I like the beef salad of Warner’s 2F Vietnamese place. Only NT$99 but can fill you up well. Healthy too. The best so far is prolly the one at Yong Kang street. Maybe u can give it a go?
i always walk by the one at Warner’s, but haven’t had it yet.. maybe next time. yong kang street eh?? is there only one, or do you have an address??
