I'm off from work till next Tuesday...

...because I'm suffering from "rhinitis with airway hyperreactivity" - hehe, that's the verdict after two visits to the ENT specialist. I've been told that I actually don't have the flu or cold, something else is causing my postnasal drip to become overactive... allergens, most likely. Now the only thing to do is to perform an allergy test, but where to get one done? JPMC? I'll call tomorrow.

Anyway, I've been told to rest, but how to rest when I'm coughing constantly to the point that none of my food is staying down and I'm getting bad nose bleeds (four today, last I counted!). Sorry, Aniki, the chocolate pudding didn't stay! :p Methinks I have to start taking mostly liquid food for a while. Argh! My wonderful Japonica rice! :(

Oh yeah, before I sign off, I just wanted to share the photos of my Aniki's wonderful wonderful cats, though my most favourite is Shazam! Chi's adorable too, but a very nervous cat. Anyway, hope you like the photos! Cheerios!

"Shazam!"


Chi-ou (Japanese for "King Chi", hehe.)

Two Hills are better than one... ;p

Damn, I am still bloody sick, coughing like crazy! It's terribly annoying especially during meetings, I have to step out every time I feel a coughing fit coming about! :( [sigh] Even so, I will not be discouraged, I'm resting lots this weekend, hope that will help. And fortunately, this week, Skip Beat chapter 155 is out, woo hoo! Below is this issue's cover page with Cain and Setsuka Hill (a.k.a. Ren and Kyoko), the killer brother and punky little sister! Why they act so close, I'm guessing it's because the role play is such that they're non-blood related siblings... maybe... Anyway, whatever it is, the pairing is tres hot, haha! XD Can't wait for the next installment on 20 April!!!

The Way I Am...

I can't believe this... I'm still sick, my bad cough is back! :( Seriously, I know what is wrong, but I don't know how to fix it... I'm doing everything my doctor told me to do... All I can do now is rest, but that's tough when one has to work, right?

-sigh- Just wanted to whine a bit! Anyway, found a song that really cheered me up... It was sung by one of the contestants of American Idol (yes, shock horror, I do watch it, haha!) this year. It's a song by Ingrid Michaelson called "The Way I Am" - it's so sweet. You can watch it on youtube, and the lyrics are as follows:

If you were falling, then I would catch you.
You need a light, I'd find a match.

Cuz I love the way you say good morning.
And you take me the way I am.

If you are chilly, here take my sweater.
Your head is aching, I'll make it better.

Cuz I love the way you call me baby.
And you take me the way I am.

I'd buy you Rogaine when you start losing all your hair.
Sew on patches to all you tear.

Cuz I love you more than I could ever promise.
And you take me the way I am.
You take me the way I am.
You take me the way I am.
