a virus [b]log
It's definitely been going around.
I was an unsuspecting audience when this virus hit me three nights ago. I was having a particularly good night watching the mind-blowing performances of the bands that played during the LFS production* held at Freedom Bar that night--the enjoyment heightened by the giddiness I felt after the kick-ass (hey, I'm not kidding!) set our band (Musings of a Cigarette-Smoking Man) managed to pull off (something that hasn't happened in a long time :p)--when suddenly I felt my throat go sore. Just like that; without any warning at all.
After the show, my hubby and I, along with some friends, went on a food binge. Something not out-of-the-ordinary for us. If it's not a post-gig drinking binge at Nakayama, it's a food-binge at either the said place or at a kabab resto. However, because I had started to feel really sick, we took our leave after finishing our kababs and keema and, sadly, before the crash course on gay lingo ended (dandelionfluff and her friend Jill were kind enough to give us some erudition; 'twas fun, like learning a foreign language!).
Upon getting home, I was thinking of blogging about the gig. But, with the my sore throat getting painful by the minute, I decided to just sleep it off. After all, it was already 4am. Little did I know that while I was slumbering, this scheming little sore throat invited an unwanted visitor. Come morning (uh, more like afternoon), I woke up with a sore throat AND a splitting headache. The tandem has been tag-teaming me ever since. Ugh. Though today seems better than the previous days. At least now I can move my head a bit freely without suffering sharp shooting pains. The sore throat is still there, and seems to have radiated to my neck muscles because now a stiff neck to boot. What's happening to me? And all these sans fever? Isn't it that fever is supposed to be the manifestation that your body's defense system is at work? Could it mean my immune system is not functioning properly? (Okay, the hypochondriac in me is getting loose. I don't really know shit about what I'm talking. :p) Or, it could be that this virus is of a hybrid strain. Whatever it is, I hope my immune system wins the battle. Meanwhile, I'll be stocking up my armory with Vitamin C. If there's one thing I like about being sick, it's binging on apples and oranges.
P.S.
By the time I finished writing this entry, I have already made three trips to the bathroom. I give you three guesses. I figure I've lost a couple of pounds already. Instant enema. Too much oranges and apples, you think? Hahaha!
*The bands that night included Imago, The Late Isabel, Pedicab, Matilda (for which I sessioned), itchyworms, and Musings of a Cigarette-Smoking Man.
