Whatever your tongue confess

Bluff it 'til you become it.

They're all true.

I said that it had been an awful, awful week.

It was true. But it got worse.

I'm sick. :-(

Apparently my iron is low.

We've all been drunk at least once in our lives so you guys can all relate.

When the world around you spins out of control and you just have to sit down or lie down for it to stop.

Yep, I've been feeling that an awful lot lately. Only, it's accompanied by high fever. My face and lips are all pale and I just have to stay in bed just so I'd stop crying over feeling woozy. Yes, I confess. I am a big baby when I'm sick.

I'm all drugged up too.

The reason I believe is the fact that I don't eat meat. Not that I chose not to eat meat but that I've been on a diet for so long I stayed away from pork and steak. I only eat chicken and seafood for the last month and my body being already low on iron since I was a kid, took a plunge.

Mum blames it on my late night outs with my friends - which had been every single night.

I blame it on not having meat, naturally.

So I haven't been working for two days, and I might call in sick again today. I can't work cos I might pass out. But I can't NOT work cos I need the money.

Last night, Mum made me eat beef stew and twiggy. I cringed.

"I don't eat crap foods anymore."

"Mas mabuti nang mataba ka pero wala ka namang sakit kesa payat ka pero mababa naman ang iron mo. Alam mo naman na kailangan alagaan mo ang iron mo eh." Mum was worrried as hell. I don't blame her. As a kid, I almost had a bone marrow transplant. Thank God I didn't have to. But it kinda made her all paranoid about my sleeping habits and iron intake. I used to eat liver every day.

I'm going to the doctor on Wednesday.

I know what my doctor will tell me so I'm not at all keen. First, he'll check my bp and then ask me questions then come up with a conclusion that my iron is low.

Duh.
