8 & 6

By now majority would've probably heard about the total shutdown of Taylor's SOC, yeah, it's even on the papers; 2 students and a lecturer fell victim to H1N1. That's bad. You could say that we, the rest of those who are well "benefited" from the pain of others. Doesn't feel like a well-deserved holiday though, I haven't done much this semester that made me feel I've earn it, you could say it's a bad feeling, but I guess it was necessary. Although we have extra time for some assignments which is somewhat good but our mid-term break has "vanished", not really, just carried forward, to NOW. Good? Bad? You decide.

Abby and I went to TARC today, for the second time. Yes, yes, fugitives of the law yet once more, bad. Though it was for a very good cause I assure you, BOOKS for ASSIGNMENT :) // Funny how we managed to find 4 marketing books related to our assignment the last time we visited, oh so good! but only found 1 book related to our corporate communication assignment this time; we were there for barely two hours, somewhat bad. Maybe it means we should check elsewhere, I don't know. Good? Bad? Bummer.. Oh well, the rest have to be online references I guess, which are a lot more difficult and less accurate at times = somewhat bad. I haven't started on that assignment yet, ICC, though I know I'm well on schedule. That is precisely why I'm worried, i tend to slack when I know I have time, more like very likely to slack. Bad, for sure! Lol.. Hmmm, maybe I'll get started after this, if the creative juice/inspiration permits. Keke, we'll see how that one goes.

On a totally different note, I tasted the best Oreo cheese cake ever! Best to me, that is

BEHOLD!

Trickling your taste buds yet? *beams*

Yeah, it's pretty damn huge and I couldn't finish it on my own.

Know how they say the best things are even better

when SHARED.

Note: see another fork on the top left hand corner :)

That was some good cake *BURPS*

He protects me

It was only minutes ago that I returned from Gleneagles intending to run a blood test as safety precaution, I mean it's pandemic time right? And honestly, I did expect the worst.

- I've been coughing till I puke for the past week.
- I've been sneezing till I tear up for the past two weeks.
- Medications have yet again failed me

To say that there were lots of people in the Accident and Emergency waiting room would be an understatement; it was waiting, waiting, waiting and a whole lot more of that. There were many super adorable kids too! made me have that i-want-to-be-a-mother-NOW-feeling again, *smirks* (ask me about it and I'll tell you, I wouldn't be doing them justice if I described them merely in words) My parents and I eventually went to Dome for a drink, luckily we didn't take our own sweet time cause JUST as soon as we got back we heard "Chhheerry Liiii ZZZZ HHuuii".. Oy vey *rolls eyes*

As I went in, I was somewhat terrified I admit *gulps*. Thoughts of negativity filled my mind so fast that I nearly wanted to go out but then again, I said a prayer before I went in and just, well.. went, plus I'd rather know the outcome. Well, after some questioning, there wasn't much to be worried about :) .. Apparently lung infection? Sounds pretty serious to me but the doctor assured me that I'd be feeling good as new in about 5-6 days so off I went, relieved and yes, happy.

While walking back to the car, I thought to myself, how effing lucky am I. For real, there were people in that very waiting room that were H1N1 positive! For all I knew I was sitting next to one but thank heavens I'm fine, my health will be fine. On another note, I feel that the doctors and nurses aren't given enough credit for what they're worth, it's such a risky job and yet they put their life on the line EVERY day for commoners/strangers like us, so thank you doctors and nurses! Oh yeah, False Alarm! I'm NOT H1N1 positive ok. For He is my shield; my shelter and so, whom shall I fear?

the desire to always know

You could call me a liar if I said wasn’t feeling any kind of pressure ever since the semester began, week two is barely in and already I am feeling it; the pressure that is. Three different assignments are already up on bb7! Of which I’ve yet to really get cracking on some more. I feel as if the water level is rising above me so quickly that I can barely catch a breath [funny coming from someone who can't swim, lol] Oh God, take me now! Sorry for the drama queen outburst but it is a little intimidating, I must say. I’m the kind of person who fears the unknown, A LOT. The fear of not knowing is almost as serious as my phobia of frogs, I can’t help but w.a.n.t to know what comes subsequently, just so I can prepare for it or be aware of God knows what if it comes flying toward me and because of that undying desire to know, would probably lose countless hours of preciously sleep just second guessing the various outcomes of the upcoming events or just the upcoming events itself. *Sigh*, I always want to know.

I kind of wished that things of the future would come by mail sometimes, indicating the fortune or misfortune that is about to befall upon one’s life. “Hey, you’ll get dumped in 3 days at 2.43 in the afternoon. Do watch out!” How cool would that be? Or or, if the universe had a life of its own and passed messages around the globe via a jiggy? One shake for good things that are about to happen, and two for bad. Haha! Something like that la, the ability to not be restricted by time and space basically. Think about it, if there were such a thing at least we would be able to avoid that of which is avoidable, right? Plenty of good points in fact if we were to make a list of the pros of pre-warnings, it’ll help with huge problems such as recession, economic booms or H1N1 and what not. As helpful and logical as that may seem, the world doesn’t work that way. Things just come in any way they will and at any time they will, nothing changes that therefore we shut up and deal with it every day :)

So, come what may..

So be it; let it be.
