So it's Sunday again... Tomorrow I have to back to work, after having 2 days break before the weekend. I got sick on Wednesday night, after having a late night meeting on Post Production house the other day and got flu. I didn't thought it was bad, until I got a high fever that night. My lovely boy friend said I should go to hospital immediately, but I didn't have anyone to take me at those hours...
Then it kinda struck me. Living on my own is tough. Let say I can drive private car, but one day I'll need help from people... I just don't think I can trouble anybody here. I'm totally alone with my own risk. And the next two days I went to the hospital by myself (I went to St. Carolus hospital, btw, and it was clean, friendly, not over crowded, and cheap!), bought my own food by delivery service, and curl under my blanket without any light, TV, or music. Didn't think it was that bad, but if I have told some people, they might have visited me.. but again, I feel it's too troubling.
On Friday evening, my fever has finally gone and I had my first real bath after 2 nights! So I ordered food once again, and finally turned on TV to watch my long awaiting Korean mini-series (starring by none-other-than-daniel-henney-himself...lols). So I spent hours and hours watching the 16 hours of movie named "My Lovely Sam Soon" (a huge hit in Korea during 2005). The story is silly as always, but not pretentious or too good to be true like any other 'picisan' Korean romantic stories. One of the poem quoted by the movie said, "Dance like no one's watching. Sing like no one's listening. Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt before. Live like there's no tomorrow." I cried on the scene where Sam Soon kisses him when they both were drunk, and she run in pouring rain. And I also like the ending: no promise of happy ending forever, just two intertwined hearts that are finally admit their feelings :)
So on the weekend, I finally got out from the house and breath... well, polluted air of Jakarta. I realized the street was overly noisy and annoying that day, since I didn't hear it for 2 days... But anyways, I walked my way to my latest spa destination, Bloom, and enjoyed a two-hour pampering time. After all relaxed and clean, I catch my friend in Plaza Indonesia, where we both ended up in shoes hunt. The big surprise is that I've lost lots of weight since I don't know when :o Now I weight 51kg, and able to wear all my previous fit trousers that I bought about 8 years ago! Isn't it awesome or what?? I'm kinda wondering if it was because of my flu? Hmm... Well, I'll just maintain it then. The funny thing is my weight loss was happening AFTER I took a break from the gym. Lol. So, what do you think about that, healthy people? :)

Being proud of weighing 51 kgs with your height and your age... girl, i think you need a health counseling session.
I was once sick and same like you, my weight fell to 51 kgs. Everybody told me I was like a walking skeleton. It was very easy for me to catch disease and get sick. The next time I got sick again, I had to be admitted to the hospital, paid millions rupiah for the test, injection, doctor fee, infuse etc. And that was the only time I thought I would die of sickness. And that was the cost I had to pay for the realisation that health comes first on top of everything else in the world.
Hmmm... I check my Body Mass Index (BMI) the other day, and 51kgs is normal banget kok, La (19.8).

That means a couple of months ago, I weight a bit more than I supposed to. The indication was my uncomfortable feelings whenever I choose clothes. And I feel tired easily. Hmm... so which ones is better ya?
Nevertheless, thanks for your reminder, La. xoxo.
