You Lose Some, You Gain Some

I'm just done dealing with a potential client after like 10 hours of chatting with him. At the very start of the conversation, we were already having communication issues because of some inappropriate technical words or terminologies used. The project could have been a good resource of dollars...and mind you, could be enough to pay for my tuition fees and some personal needs. That is... if it went well. Because, it did not push through. Imagine talking with each other for 10 hours but in the end no deal was sealed? It was like, it was a precious time we could have both used for more productive things but ended up utilized on something that we didn't get anything in return.

But, no. I did not regret losing one potential to earn lots of money. We simply don't understand each other. I can't take it because much as I need money resources now, I can't risk on taking jobs that I know I can't deliver well because I didn't get the whole picture of what the client wants from me. I am blaming neither of us, because we both had our shortcomings. But, that's life. You lose some, you gain some. I lost a potential paying job, but I gained sleep and pressure-free time, plus the lesson of saying no if you knew you can't do it. I hope he will find a freelance worker though (he doesn't need a freelance writer, like me) who could give exactly what he wants. Right now, I can't risk my health and end up not working for the succeeding days for I might get sick due to one whole night sleep deprivation.

My Fever Is High Now! :-(

I'm really sick now. My fever has gone up high. I thought I recovered a bit yesterday, but when I woke up this morning I'm feeling really hot now. I know, I know. Don't scold me. I just went to do this quick post so in case you don't see me doing posts here for the next few days, you'd know I might be at the hospital (Pray Lord, I won't! Please?:( ) and seeking treatment. Anyway, my family still don't know it, but I am going to tell them later to send me to the hospital if I don't get well for the next hour.

Folks, do pray that my flu won't get more than that and get serious to hell. My midterm examinations are just a couple of days away. As I've said in my previous post, I can't afford to lose them coz I don't wanna fail with my subjects. But more than that, I need to be strong coz I don't wanna see my son suffering because he knew mommy is not well. My family would get worried too if my condition gets worse. I don't wanna put a burden to them especially Papa who is already paying for my tuition fees. Please, help me pray I'd recover as quickly as possible and this illness that took over me since saturday is nothing serious. Please, Lord, please get me strong:( I believe in your powers to heal your sick children.
