I think I got the flu.

I think I caught it from one of the people I met in Laguna yesterday. He wasn't feeling well and went home early, hitching a ride with us out of the office. I sat where he sat. My immune system must not be up to par since I barely got to recuperate from my Cebu trip.

I'm getting chills, and my body is kind of sore (although the massage yesterday really helped), plus I have the sniffles. The Makati office proved to be an unexpected icebox, and I didn't bring a jacket or blazer. Drinking lots of warm water didn't help. And a few minutes ago, I could barely take a shower even if the water was piping hot, as I start shivering as soon as air touches my skin.

No good. It's papa's 70th birthday today. I have to attend his party and play host for a bit because my dad will be late, plus I have a full day tomorrow with work. Major presentation to the bosses on Friday and I want to wow them.

I'll take an Alaxan later during dinner and maybe NyQuill before bed, which hopefully won't be too late. And also, I need lots of vitamin C.

My friend Marichit is also sick. Must be flu season.

aww, you poor thing...take lots of fluids...getting vit, c now will not make any difference, dapat umpisa pa lang...as if parang deposito may savings muna...anyway try to get some rest as much as possible and don't take Alaxan it's not good for your digestive system, okay na ang Tempra or Biogesic for the fever and pain...
hugs...

Hi, Jinky.

Thanks for the advice. My aunt also didn't want me to take Alaxan, masama daw. Anyway, I took Biogesic last night and this morning and I'm feeling better.

Take care,

Hugs,
