I'm in pink again...

Thanks God, I'm in pink again. 

After my escapade last weekend in Laguna with Pops and Mega (I will post our adventure next time), I was down with a flu. This is the third time that I have been sick this year. And I am so worried that my immune system is getting weaker and weaker. 

I remember when I was in my 20's, I always boasted that I had never stayed in the hospital for over a day (as a patient of course). And that I was so healthy that even common colds infected me so intermittently. And it held true until I was in my late 20's. 

Yes, I was as fit as a fiddle during those years. I could drink till I dropped without a hang over the next day. I could smoke a pack or two every single day. I could party all night and could sleep at noon after a great 'love-making' with someone or after a good laugh with friends. But gone are the days! 

So, I asked myself why I am becoming sickly these days?...why do I easily get infected with common colds?...why do I often get sick after a hard core drinking session? 

Am I getting old? Did I abuse my health too much when I was way younger? Or is it just a part of the cycle? A cycle that everybody passes through before they bid goodbye to this world? Morbid, isn't it? But it's the reality we have to face. Not playing God or something, but I am pretty sure I am reaping now what I sowed before. And there's no one to blame but ME.

If there was a way for me go back to my college days, I would definitely do it and whisper to my then fragile and vulnerable body to take it easy. I would tell myself not to drink as if it were my last...as if there were no alcohol tomorrow...puff cigarettes as if it were going to make me look like a man...astig! Or I could have 'listened' to my bed when he 'told' me to make him sleepy. 

But everything has already happened...maybe for a reason. But it's never too late yet. I believe so. 

Now, I am trying my best to stay fit. Nothing beats moderation in everything. 

Here are my plans:

1. Hopefully, I will be able to control my alcohol intake.

 2. I already started cutting down the number of sticks per day. I just hope it goes perfectly well.

3. Play Bubble Shooter until 1:00 am only. Hit the bed right after. 

 4. Get at least 8 hours of sleep. 

5. Eat healthy. Add fruits and fresh juices on the list. 

 6. Exercise...Nahhh! When needed.

And the list continues...

Well, I have been convincing myself to follow these lies. LOL. But only today that I finally had a firm decision to do it step by step.

I don't wanna be stricken by common colds or FLU again thru those ways. It's hard to be sick especially if nobody takes care of you. It only makes me feel more homesick. 

Do you think I can do it?
