I last had tonsilitis in March 2003. How I vividly remember that day when Rozl accompanied me to the Infirmary in UPLB. The doctor was cute, though I can't remember his name, and he was taken aback when I stuck out my tongue and he saw my blue tongue stud. We flirted a bit but it's so difficult to coo when your throat is coarse and scratchy. He prescribed Ceporex as antibiotics and Mefenamic Acid as painkiller. He instructed ten days but I remember taking the meds only until I could no longer the pain which was about three days later.
Back to the present, I was supposed to buy Ceporex again but it wasn't available in Mercury so they suggested Cefalin. I took one at 2 PM last Tuesday and by 3 PM, I could imagine the meds at work, killing all those nasty Streptococci. I took Paracetamol for my rising fever and Revalan for the sore. I drifted off to Lalaland on my desk and was awakened by Grace. She was supposed to go with me to Healthway Shang `coz our insurance covers free check-up but we arrived at 6:30 and the receptionist said the doctors only hold clinic until 7. WTF?! I was dying there.
I never went to see a doctor and I'm doing perfectly fine now. I plan to finish the ten days medication, though, to avoid recurrence. I'm mighty terrified of heart diseases and what-have-yous.
What could have caused my infection? I'm guessing that stick of Lucky Strike I found in my undies closet on Monday night which I burned although I can't even remember when it got there. Cigarettes expire also, I now realize. Or maybe, the culprit was that pipe the brods and I used last Friday night in Diliman. Or maybe, it was that kiss last Saturday. Whichever it is, this is just proof that I Wonder Bag gets ill too.
I'm so glad I'm feeling better now. Tonight, we celebrate. Happy Beerday, my dear bwods! ^_^

By some odd stroke of fate, Chevy has sore throat also. Remember the rashes?
