Under the Weather
Last Friday, hunbun noticed a pregnant woman around the Ateneo campus. He thought she was a parent but he looked closely and saw that she’s a student like us. And he recognized her as being one of my friends’ blockmates. *shocked* He told me afterwards and I couldn’t believe it so we kind of followed her. 
Well, coincidentally, we were headed for the same building she was. Everybody was looking at her discreetly. And probably making different assumptions why she got pregnant and how she is going to continue her life. Gosh, what a gossip-loving bunch we are! Seeing her in that condition just strengthens my belief to wait until marriage. I definitely don’t want to be in her shoes. At this stage in my life, I’m concentrating on finishing college first before I start a family. I’m not ready to take on that much responsibility. It really made me think if I’d be pro-life or pro-choice if I was her.
While eating dinner that day, I accidentally bit my tongue. And I bit it so hard that my tongue bled profusely. My dentist just told me my teeth are more pointed than most because they didn’t grind properly. 
I remember an old wives’ tale that says you bite your tongue because someone is thinking about you. I wonder who thought about me that hard because upto now, there’s still a little scar at the tip of my tongue. *sigh*
Yesterday, I woke up feeling really sick - sore throat, runny nose, head ache. 
It’s really not a good time to be sickly because it’s hell month! The final examinations are in two weeks already and most projects are due soon. My concentration level is really low and I feel sleepy all the time. Especially math, my mind can’t analyze all the symbols properly. My mom’s sore throat remedy is quite effective. She blows this Chinese throat powder straight into the back of my mouth. It feels really scratchy at first but the minty herbs take effect fast. And thank you to my hunbun for taking care of me. Just hope you won’t catch this virus. 
Today, my nose is much redder because my nose just won’t stop running. It’s getting more and more difficult to breathe normally. Anyway, we (mom, brother, my brother’s boyfriend, me, and hunbun) went to a mid-autumn dice game sponsored by my mom’s high school association. 
My brother took us to Fishing Village first before he picked up his girlfriend at Greenbelt. I found it odd that the board of officers took the opportunity to hold an election before the game itself so instead of starting at 4pm, the game proper started at 6pm. *lol* At that time, my brother still hasn’t returned so hunbun and I each took two turns at different tables. Yay! For each round, I get to throw the dice twice! 
I was lucky because I won Php100 in my very first dice alone for getting a four-of-a-kind, and I won four other Php100 for getting the same set of dice. I also won food prizes such as cookies, pretzels, mango nectar, and fruit cocktails. Hunbun hoarded most of the fruit cocktail cans at his table. He won 6 of them! *lol* He just kept on winning that prize. Hm… it was a shame that when I finally got 3 fours and 3 sixes which was equivalent to Php400, there were no more prizes left. *awww* But we had so much fun. And I enjoy winning stuff. 
I hope we have more dice games!
And get well soon to myself.

But I’m glad my mom is really fashionable and allows me to wear minis. Actually, she advised me to wear them now or as soon as possible while my legs are still beautiful. *lol* In her teens, she had worn even shorter skirts! Well, Thailand is definitely the new shopping center of Asia because Hong Kong’s prices had risen incredibly the past few years. I really miss travelling to other countries!
