The word of the day is...

...congestion.

or mucus, take your pick.

Went home to Cebu for the long weekend but ended up getting sick. Thankfully it's just a cold, which is really the only sickness that gets to me. But well, I don't think a grumpy, disheveled, snuffling and alternately leaking person makes for very good company >.< Mommy started nagging about picking a minor and that didn't help a whole lot either. Basically spent the weekend catching up on movies and stuff, though towards the end I couldn't really appreciate anything very much anymore. The opening of the Beijing Olympics for example, is a lot less spectacular when viewed through a haze of snot. Kung Fu Panda, August Rush, and Definitely maybe were really good movies though :) Thankfully I watched these before the mucus took over my sinuses.

Got on the plane back to Manila today, popped a decolgen and a paracetamol then cleared my sinuses with Drixin. Drugs do wonders. ^_^ The plane ride was uneventful except for a little turbulence towards the end. I was surrounded by old people again. Strangley my plane seatmates are always either old people or babies. Not that i'm complaining about the pleasant pruney man who was seated next to me this morning, I prefer the old people to the babies any day.

I was feeling pretty chipper until the meds started to wear off a little after lunch time. Had to pass on a trip to the National museum T.T Gyarrrr.. Hopefully this cold doesn't last very much longer. Its a bit of a bummer to have to breathe through my mouth all the time. And my coherence is starting to suffer from the mucus coating my brain. Plus I have a long test in history to deal with this friday. *insert atempt to sigh which turned into a cough instead* I think I'll take more drugs now, thank you.
