Me, my brother and Measles~

If anyone bothered to read my previous blog (One Eyed Daruma), I had a not-so-mild case of Measles just a couple of weeks ago. Oh you know, the one where you'll have a week-long fever, rashes even at the soles of your foot, dozens of mouth ulcers, severe tonsilitis, raspy dry cough, and never-ending colds.

It was a horrifying experience, especially if you've never been THAT sick before in your life. At some point, I even considered *gasp!* not going to Japan! I guess that's how delusional you'll be if you have a constant 40+ degrees celsius body temp. I was hallucinating most of the time; I had some rather unusual visits from a shadow ghost, a superhero who went inside my body, monster-mom, and a girl who kept on pricking my arm with scary needles! Oh wait, that wasn't a hallucination.

Anyway, I'm better now. All those other things were tolerable in comparison to the scars that the rashes left behind. Oh the horror I felt when I looked in the mirror and realized that the red spots became black spots! Why don't they turn flesh-colored instead? Huhuhu~

Without further ado, may I announce that my brother now has Measles. And he's angry at me because of it. As if I could control where the virus would go anyway! Hmpf. Super bad news though: the doctor warned my parents that I could still get infected with Measles, because a person usually gets hit twice before they can become totally immune!

OH NOOOOESSSS!!!!

And to think I have a medical check-up this Saturday. Wah. Nothing must jeopardize my chance to reach Japan! I shall not tolerate such unfair uncertainties. And thus, I shall isolate myself from my dear "old" brother and prevent the risk of appearing pockmarked AGAIN.

Oh just when I'm regaining my 21 year old skin back, something like this comes along. *hides*
