A Long Deserved Rest

Hi! It was kinda long time since I wrote down my thoughts. Didn't have means to do so.

I'm currently on sem-break but before that, I was in the hospital for five days. I never imagined that apart from my throat infection, I had kidney infection too. Got scared pa when doctors tested me for dengue and typhoid fever, God is good and it just boiled down to systemic viral infection. And now that I'm better, I'm so thankful about it. I regarded my being sick and hospitalized as my "long deserved rest" because I did'nt have a choice but to really be in bed and sleep all I need (i wanted it too but that time, it was more of a need). I didn't get thin though during the first 2 days in the hospital, it's just the dextrose giving me my nutritional needs since I just throw up everything I take in (even just water!!!), and now I'm back to eating, really eating..hehe.

I'm aware of the tons of work I need to catch up, but for now, I'll just enjoy the remaining days of the break and get some more strength before I get back to work. I have people to thank to for taking good care of me... the hospital staff especially the nurses of the 8th floor of Medical Center Manila, Dr. Bernardo and the Medicard person who always visited me and took care of my medical expenses. My kuya Paolo for bringing me the Zesto mango I love so much, my tita Merlie and the ensaymada she brought, Paul for the visit, Jasper for the kulit. Mama, thank you so much for taking very good care of me and being there all the time. To all my students and friends who prayed for me, my co-teachers-- thank you for all your prayers. Brenda and Chesca who were my constant textmates, thanks for keeping me updated to what happend in class. And most especially God... Dear God, they wouldn't be with me if not for you.. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I now promise to take care of myself for all the people I love.
