Doctor's brief statement. Crippling and paralysing, it moves in swift action whenever it sees a chance or an opportunity. You don't even feel a sting or an itch and it has already infected you. It causes you to break out, have breathing difficulties and some may even hallucinate. Some, to be a little extreme, may opt for suicide to relieve this suffering. Its effects are that strong. No scientific cure has been truly effective, even though there are some unorthodox treatments for this. Some have recommended medication, CT scans and even hypnosis. More scientists advise a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet, but that hardly works for those who are infected. What they want are immediate cures, not something that will only work in the long term. This illness has been around for eons, that even the most primeval have had a taste of it. It does not just affect human beings; animals can get this illness too. But it is harder for animals to be diagnosed for the symptoms are subtle only till a later stage. In fact, this illness is in all of us. It only manifests itself into a full-blown illness when it has a chance to, when you let down your guards, when you let your fundamental weakness take over you. Sounds scary huh? This illness may take on several names for different people, according to the brief introduction stated above. Some may reckoned it to be this, others that. In any case, it is essential to maintain a strong immunity and resilience in order to fight this illness. It could get contagious. So, start studying hard now. Labels: random thoughts |

wants Been kind of melancholy this week. Studying hard for Prelims and trying to keep my head above the water. These wants just sort of popped up in my mind, prolly due to the amount of newspaper articles i have been perusing.
Anyway, my mum said something fun the other day when i was complaining about my lack of romantic life. I was going on and on about how "deprived" i am and how unwanted her daughter is. Seriously, where are the guys?!?! Then she was saying i should take my time, maybe include this boyfriend thing in my prayers too. But i shrugged, cause i dun wanna pray for a boyfriend! Doesn't it seem a little, weird? So i was saying that at 18 and without a boyfriend unlike many of my peers, i feel a little left out and you know, i'm a sucker for romance and its just....ugh! So she was like so what if you are 18? Who knows...you may meet the One when you are 28! Ok i shudder at the next empty 10 years. Anyway, its all getting a little too busy for boyfriend-hunting, at least not with the scarce resources i am getting in my circle of friends. Man, what happened to resource allocation? Allocative efficiency?!!? I'm losing my mind. Its kinda ironic that i am typing down all these late at night. But the night makes one even more melancholic. Years i've had this crush on this one guy, but strangely there seems to be no chemistry going on between the two of us. It has always been one-sided. He takes me as an acquaintance, just someone to say hi and bye to. He's not mean or whatsoever, just normal. I have never told him how i felt but maintained this friendship at arm's length. Its ok, i guess. There have been confessions to me but i never agreed. Probably its because i don't see the other side of the equation. Or there were no mutual feelings. Maybe its all about the feeling. If the feeling is right, its gonna be a whirlwind romance. But i've never gotten that, though sometimes i think about it. Boo what's wrong with me?Hahaha..talking about all these. Maybe i should really be a DJ or something, get my own show and just talk. Would love that. Anyway, econs consultation tmr. A day of exchange rates, monetary policy and assumptions to whack! your life lays out like the shadows of the wall you turn the lights on to release them all you wonder what's it like to not feel worthless so open all the blinds and turn those curtains Labels: random thoughts |
