"breathless" and "sleepless" nights
it's the 3rd day this week, since monday, that i had to wake up by 530am. i know it's not an unholy hour; a lot of people get up during a very much earlier time. i've been getting only 5 hours (or less) of slumber.
i can't sleep before 12am because of the friggin' heat and humidity in the air. because of such weather condition, i'm driven to turn up the fan's speed to its maximum level and let it blow huge gusts of air directly on me (which i've been told is a no-no because it makes my allergies act up; when they do start, i go through a "sneezing frenzy!). now, i'm having a bout with colds and cough. what's worse, i end up hyperventilating. i hate it when this happens! sometimes, i wish i could take my lungs out for a few minutes to let it "rest" and put it back when it's already cleansed of bad air.
today, my difficulty in taking "normal" breaths was aggravated. i had to take an exam for a prospective job in a bank in a room where the airconditioner was in full blast. i swear the air vent in the ceiling was right on top of me! i was trying not to feel cold by thinking i'm in heated spa room; it worked for the first hour. i realized my "mind-over-matter" schtick can only do so much, argh! yup, i was starting to feel very chilly; i'm having an experience of HYPOTHERMIC proportions! i couldn't focus on the tests at hand. luckily, i managed to qualify for both stages of the written exam. (i had an interview in the afternoon.) as soon as the exam was over, i rushed towards the door; i couldn't wait to feel an amount of heat in the air.
i'm at home now. i feel that i'm about to be plagued by the flu. i can't breathe! i can't stop sneezing! i can't sleep!
more colds and cough = less sleep --> OH NO!!!
tomorrow's going to be the 4th day...
