Achtung! These past few days have been hard for me. Suprisingly, it’s just physical because I am tired of all the emotional dilemma I’ve been having lately. So this is a new one, huh. I am down with a flu virus, which may also be a Rubella (or German Measles) according to the doctor who attended me at my HMO clinic and yes, my favorite physician, Google.
I have all the symptoms. Headache, tiny red spots on my limbs (but it’s beneath the skin surface), aching joints, back of ears / neck swollen, sore throat, and a little fever. I still have most of the symptoms as of this writing (no more tiny red spots though). Holy week is a friend this week. No work, all rest.
I am not sure if this case of German Measles has got something to do with the DVD (yes, DVD and not dibidi….I got some at last Friday’s Midnight Sale) marathon I had last weekend. What’s with the DVD? If you’ve seen movies about Nazi all day and night and still get to watch DW (Deutsche Welle) programs afterwards, who wouldn’t get German Measles? I started with Schindler’s List then La Vita E Bella (Life is Beautiful) then slept. These movies have been about the German occupation during the World War II and both movies have won Academy Awards for Best Picture and Best Foreign Film respectively. I’ve seen it before but I was itching (I mean that figuratively, it has got nothing to do with the measles) to see it again. The next day, the boob tube was surprisingly switched on to DW channel and it makes me wonder about Germany again. All those times, my head was throbbing more because of the German accent I’ve been exposed to.
This piece is pointless. I am just updating my blog. I will most likely be updating more because I am under house arrest by the Germans…(err, yeah measles). Nothing to do.
Oh anyway, I better go take a nap now so I could get better a little bit. When I wake up, I think I’ll watch The Pianist.
