36 1/2 hours after my bout with bronchitis, my parents' silver vios made a surprise appearance at our school's parking lot.
it was family day for avo-4, and i wasn't expecting them until seven. so i pleaded to our adviser to release my card ahead of everyone else, and then off we went, to home sweet home.
'twas a sad thing, missing the first of few gatherings, but then again, i might also need a rest, and i understand my parents' concern for that. whatever...
upon reaching the front doors, i recognized a faint scent drifting from somewhere inside: paint. not minding the smell, i made my way in and up to our bedroom, till i realized that the smell was growing stronger. i looked up - and lo, and behold, i finally knew; our bedroom was being repainted.
"o, gusto nyo ba yung kulay?" asked my father. he was referring to the newly-furnished room walls, covered with sky blue paint. i refused to comment, but i honestly found it a bit disgusting; the shade of blue was quite too girlish for me. it's a good thing i'm not too picky about colors, and i can dwell with that.
the thing that bothers me is having to sleep in our sala floor, since the room is "under renovation"... i feared that my bronchitis would be triggered again at the event - dust and dirt were just all around, and add to that the strong odor of acrylic.
a night passed, and another, without incident. eventually my fears were quelled...
until monday early morning. that is, kaninang umaga lang. i woke up to this very odd feeling... chilly and weak and restless. i can't seem to get up. an hour and a quarter went through, and i was still in bed. i felt a cold, gentle hand on my neck... "may lagnat ka."
and so i was bedridden until now... while my parents are away at work. *finally, i've caught up with the rest of the blogging world... hahaha. (",)*
