to all those who went out of their way to remember and greet me on my lil' ol' birthday yesterday, whether it be through personal greeting, sms, the rx-talk mailing list, friendster, or here on my blog, here's a very, very, very big THANK YOU.  i won't mention any names this time, because you all know who you are.  i really and honestly don't consider my birthday as a special day.  but for those who were thoughtful enough to greet me, may your thoughtfulness be rewarded tenfold.  i consider YOU as the special person(s) on my birthday, and it's YOU who should be celebrated, not me.

again, THANK YOU.  i cannot emphasize enough how appreciated, honored and grateful i am that you remembered me on an ordinary special day.  may you be blessed always.

THANK YOU.  🙂

today marks my 31st year here on this world.

nothin' special to it, just an ordinary day where the only thing different is that i turn the age up a notch.

god, i hate gettin' old….

happy birthday to me…

tomorrow's gonna be my last day at work for the week, then i'll be taking a much deserved vacation until june 3!!!  10 days of no work… well, not totally since i'll be coming to the office to check my emails so as not to get swamped when i get back.  well, at least no work stuff to be seriously thought of for 10 days.  where am i going?  well, i originally had planned to go back to puerto galera, but it's the month when the car's registration needs to be renewed, so i have to take care of that first.  i'm not sure if the road trip me and my friend reggie planned a couple of weeks back will push through, but if it will, then i'll take that.  as for how i'm physically feeling, i'm much better than yesterday, the meds finally taking effect.  i'll be taking another one in an hour and hopefully that'll be the last one.  i'm not really into taking meds except when really, really needed.  i'd rather have nature run it's course and my body develop it's own antibodies.  but since i had to go to work, i was forced to have my med intake.  at least i'm feeling much better now and looking forward to that vacation!!  🙂

for lack of something to post for today, i'm still sick.  yes, i'm still in the office, still no better than yesterday.  my colleague gave me some medicines he recommended for me to take, so i took one.  the bad thing is, it's not a no-drowse medication, so within a couple of hours, i was sleepy as hell!!

i really feel awful today… 😦

i'm having a bad case of cough and colds, yet i'm still at the office instead of resting at home.  because for me, as long as i can drive or walk, i'll report for work.  besides, i can still do my daily functions, though at a much slower pace.  plus, it's depressingly hot at home–weather-wise that is–and i've been having a hard time sleeping for the past couple of days because of it.  what's more irritating is that when i cough, a sharp, numbing pain simultaneously goes through the back of my head, rendering me motionless for a couple of seconds while the pain subsides.  it happens too whenever i blow my nose.  and my voice goes from hoarse to sickly deep every now and then.  and yet i'm still thinking of going to the gym after my shift, believing that once adrenalin starts pumping through my veins, i'll feel a lot better.  one colleage suggested that sex is a natural analgesic and that i'm lacking–severely, as she put it–that's why i'm getting sick.  well, i'm not getting any of that anytime soon, so scrub that as well.  in any case, i'm fine.  going to the gym will be a last-minute decision.  i brought my gear along just in case.  if not, well, head straight home and hopefully get some sound sleep this time.  but if you're gonna ask me, i'd rather have adrenalin pumping and getting tired after so as to be primed in going to sleep, no matter what the weather is anyday.  *sigh*  hope this goes away soon…
