i'm home for another week.

that's as many days as my mc allows me to be, by the way. yesterday, i was happy with it, now i'm just bored. and no, it's not that i'm not grateful or anything for the mc, but i kinda miss studying. never thought i'd say this, but there, you have it. what's more pitiful, i'm not even 100% healthy.

my rash is getting worse. even my palms are not spared. and let me tell you something about my allergy, because it seems that i've gotten more questions about it than when i tried to enlighten people about my allergic reaction.

i'm allergic to several medications, including panadols. oh yes, the little pill called the lifesaver by everyone else can cause me death (hopefully, i won't come to that). to know that i'm allergic to a medication is easy; if i have a running nose, hives, rash, swollen arms, legs and face, and a bit of flu, then i'm it.

it's frustrating, you know, to be in this condition. when i'm down with headache, i have to go the long way by applying lots and lots of minyak angin and put on some koyok to get me to sleep. when i got fever, i have to tell the doctors that they have to substitute the panadols with vitamin Cs or costlier fever pills. i have to be very careful, or i might find myself in an unspeakable condition, like right now.

you may laugh all you want, you may snicker to your heart's content, you may not believe any of this, but this is a part of me. i don't like this conditon one bit, but i have to live with it. at least i know that i'm not going to be a drug addict one day because i know i couldn't live with all the scratching and the itchiness it'll give me.
