Appreciation 1

i know this blog is mostly full of my own negative emotions, so as promised a few posts ago, i shall try to right something in my quarter of a century life that i appreciate, or where i feel appreciated/loved. well basically just something positive.....

i think i will start with this, since i remember it each time i've a flu..

when i was young, i was always sick, i would fall sick, only to get better and fall sick again. honestly, if i was born into a poor family.. i don't think i'd be able to be here typing and ranting all my problems out. luckily for me, my dad was a government employee and thus my medical bills were mostly all covered by the government.

but this story takes place, perhaps when i was about 8-9 years old, i was having one of my colds again, with a fever... and at that time, i used to sleep in my parents room, possibly because i was always sick so i had to always sleep there, although eventually i requested to move in and sleep with my sister... lol or rather, that was part of my parents' plans as well, but i digress.

i was having a real bad cold/flu as well with a fever, and my dad gave me a nice rub down with vicks.. if anyone knows what that is.. and viola the next day i was totally well...

i can't remember if i took any medication, all i remember is that the very next day i was all better...

and since then, i sort of swore by vicks,, but that miracle never happened again.. (笑え)... so yea.. when i was younger and always sick, and sleeping in my parents room... i know that they'd wake up a few times in the night to check on me, or make me eat my medicine.. given i was a kid then..

i don't really expect them to wake me up to take my medication now.. but... you know.. it feels nice to have them at least check on you and things like that... take me to the doctor when i request, rather than tell me.. oh i shouldn't go to the doctor.. or i'm much better now.. so i don't have to go... (hello.. i was running a fever of 39-40 celcius for almost a week, where on earth was i supposed to find the strength to insist that i want to see the doctor?? it would have been nice to have been spoilt a little you know) shows that they actually care.. and you aren't some family pet.. which is a liability and burden.. which they are forced to take care off...

a bit of a fail, since i ended  up ranting at the end.. well.. let's see how the other posts go... maybe i'm just to bitter with life and everything in it.
