flu-bitten

at one point in the day today i was so sick i thought i was going to die.

okay, that was an exaggeration but hey, i felt like super super sick...like sick enough to maybe have to miss playing the piano for church tomorrow. i was trying to sleep but couldn't, because my headache was bothering me. i felt a slight fever. nose stuck, phlegm collecting in my throat. throat so dry (though no longer sore) that i felt like coughing everytime i breathed the air in. earlier on my friend described me as "so pale and so sad". wahhh......

i wonder if me falling ill on wednesday has anything to do with me running in the rain on tuesday or me (unfortunately) sitting next to someone who was coming down with the flu on wednesday.

but once again god did his miracles. got up by seven plus, had dinner and as i got to church for practice i gradually felt better as i became more awake. and right now...i ain't feeling so bad again. and that headache-y feeling is gone. thank god!

kong kong, as far as i know, is still holding on. i think. i don't know about right now, cos there's been no word from my mom who's been there all day, so i don't know. but i am thankful for yesterday's moment that set me at peace and freed me from those chains of unsettledness. i continue to pray for him, though i know not whether he is going to be healed or is going to meet his Maker.

i pretty much feel confident that if i do get worse again, i'll recover or at least have suppressed symptoms of the flu when it's my time to play tomorrow. speaking of which, last week did not go down well for me in terms of playing. i practically lost my mood to play and it ruined everything.this loss of mood even spilled out onto a meeting i had on tuesday. terrible. it's not like me to get affected in public. and as usual, people didn't understand. but whatever.
