need i say more??

my flight bound for cagayan de oro city was scheduled at 5:30 this morning. well, i did wake up first at 4:00 but was fighting fever and a bad case of flu. was still unpacked since i was knocked-out again by the flu the previous night. i doze off a bit, and woke up around 6:30. definitely missed my flight!! well, the mind can only convince the body so much. i guess, the mind raised the white flag when it realized i’m suffering from fever, real nasty running nose, and this time a nastier headache.

my head and health is currently messing with me. my head keeps nagging that i will regret it should i cancel my cdo trip tomorrow. it keeps saying that i’m not rich enough to just let PhP1,394 down the drain [ i know it's a promo price, but still...one can't just pick that amount on the street, hehe]. i’ve paid for the tickets at least a month ago that i’d be a fool to not jump on the plane tomorrow morning. plus, if i decide to cancel at the last minute, my card will be charged with a NO SHOW penalty for not canceling ahead. it’d be too late to
cancel now. i’ve informed my supposed-to-be-companion that i’ve canceled my trip as well because i lost my atm card – my supposed source of funds.

yet, after i said i did, i couldn’t bring myself to cancel my flight. i
generally, just told myself that if by saturday, i’m still undecided
then i’ll just “charged” it to my experience, and sadly to my card.

now, i’m currently nursing a bad case of colds or this could be my rhinitis. anyway, i feel sick. not sick, sick..just a bit feverish. it’s funny because when i first planned for this trip, I had prepared myself for a possible cancellation due to my beautiful u problem. well, my beautiful u’s problem is under control and it’s this freakin’ flu and fever that’s giving me doubts on whether i should go or not go on with my trip. though i’m not 100% O.K., still i arranged with my brother to bail me so that I could go on with the trip. even with the funds in placed, i will only be definitely sure by dawn of saturday.

it’s weird that i’ve accepted possible cancellation a few weeks back. see, i started to go on hormones to control my bleeding. thus, i kinda projected that my withdrawal bleeding could fall on the same weekend as my trip. yet, now that saturday is looming, my very being is hating the possible cancellation. especially that my bleeding is under control. my being is refusing to accept that this nagging flu and fever could be the reason for the cancellation…

anyhow, i will be well tomorrow. i need to or i die of regret, hehe… okay, i won’t die… i just know that i will be feeling something…and it’s definitely not going to be a delighted feeling.

for the past weeks, i’ve been feeling the urge to really step out of my beloved cebu. as usual, i’ve nary the time nor the funds to do so. so one could just imagine the frustration i have every time i click on cebu pacific’s site and see they have promos i could not avail of for reasons already mentioned.

it was only when i was 23 that i first discovered the love to set foot on other places. since my very first trip, i’ve made it appoint to visit other towns in the country for the sole purpose of sightseeing and to experience some form of exhilaration at least once or twice. yes, i’m weird this way. it thrills me to be able to book a flight somewhere even though there’s a form of uncertainty attached. and yes, though i’d like to believe i’m a traveler, reality is that i could only travel once or twice in a given year. what with only 6 days of leave available to us each year.
