God Is Always Good...

While I'm on my way home from school after taking part of the midterm examinations, negative thoughts flood my mind. Perhaps, it was due to my low emotions habitually contributed by this flu which I haven't fully recovered yet. There were several things running in my brain, some of which are relationship and future career. It saddened me to think that at my age, I wasn't yet in a stage I had thought 10 or 15 years ago I would be. It slightly depressed me to remember that I haven't taken cared of my life's future as I was supposed to, that's why I'm still here planted in a time I should have finished dealing up with a long time ago.
But, you know, God is always good. Every time I feel this way, He opens my eyes when I am about to slip into a world full of regrets and sad thoughts. He lets me see things around so I would suddenly have so much to thank Him for. He warms my heart when anger and exhaustion are about to take over my consciousness so that I don't turn into a a person full of pessimism. He never permits me to be such. He showers me the love and care that I need, so that I don't give in to all these evilish thoughts. He embraces me so that when I feel alone, I end up feeling abundantly cared and loved for.

Whenever my emotions are so down because things have turned out not the way I wanted to, He guides me so I don't surrender with my fight to conquer my weaknesses. He whispers softly yet intently in my ears to tell me that He has plans for me. Good plans that would provide me the answers to the questions of the past. He talks to me so that I am reminded that no matter how many times I fail in every aspect of my life, there is something in store for me. Something that would complete me in the future. Something that would make my life more meaningful. And something that would define my existence here in a universe, called, Earth.

God Will Always Be Good...

AJA JIRL!

Thank God My Fever Went Down Quickly

Thank God, my fever went down quickly after I've eaten this morning. So, as I have felt a little better after that, I thought there is no need to tell my family to send me to the hospital. Prayers work wonders, aight? But, of course, I still don't discount the fact that this flu might be something else. So come tomorrow, I will sure go to the school doctor and get a checkup. And tonight? I am going to start retiring to bed early and never compromise my health again. Thanks to people who have prayed that I recover quickly. Ciao!

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.

I've Been Sick With Flu! Hatcchoo!!!

Photo credits go here.

I wasn't able to post anything yesterday because as I have feared, I had caught flu. When I woke up yesterday, my whole body felt weak that I cannot get up from bed. I supposedly had MORAL THEOLOGY classes, but since I am physically weak, I did not attend. I kept on sneezing all day, so I knew I'm gonna catch some serious case of colds and cough as well. I tried to do some online activities, but my illness took over my physical being. Instead of making it worse, I stayed away from my computer for 24 hours and took a rest the whole day. I went online today b'coz I got some deadline tonight. It was only one opportunity, so I thought I could get away with this for one or couple hours.

I'm a little better now but I still feel a bit dizzy every time I go up. I know this was the result of not taking care of myself - sleeping very late at night due to online activities that keep me busy all the time and not eating healthy foods on time. Although I've been taking multivitamins daily, my routine of late did not help in any way.Luckily, there are some medications available that you can take to prevent flu from seriously aggravating you. In addition to these medications, I also take 1000mg ascorbic acid daily to give strong defenses to my body against the viruses. Now, at least I feel that I'm on my way to recovery. I know I'd better be since midterm examinations are only a few days away. I can't afford to lose this most important exam week since most parts of the grades are taken from midterm grade results.

Guys, please steer away from this sickness. Influenza, or commonly called as flu, can get worse than you can imagine. It could go from 1 - 2 weeks of you bedridden. It is a kind of virus that spreads easily, so you might want to get away from individuals you know have flu. You might want to protect yourself as well by taking some multivitamins daily, plus at least 500mg of ascorbic acid or vitamin c. And more importantly, eat healthy foods well and get 6-8 hours of sleep. And never make it a habit to sleep very late at night! It brings your defenses against viruses quickly down.

So, there's my little advice! I'm off to my bed now. Goodnight everyone!
