That CCS Monte Vista trip last Oct 4-5 didn’t end so well. I got a really bad fever when I woke up on Sunday, but still had to drive home from Laguna. Fortunately, no accidents involving me took place on the way home. But when I reached home at around 4:30, I dropped on the sofa and didn’t move. I just lay there, hot with a 39.3°C fever and semi-conscious with a really bad headache. Been a while since I had one that strong, and it sucked.
Ended up not going to work on Monday as I still had a 38+°C fever and a really bad case of cough and colds. But the thing is, it was the last day to submit this BIR paper thingy which will permanently void me of tax exemptions if I failed to submit it. Thankfully, office admin agreed to let me submit Tuesday morning. So I went to work on Tuesday, but I was not really well. Still a little feverish, but sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do. I was able to submit it in the morning, but I really should have taken the afternoon off. Ended the day feeling worse than I did in the morning, so I really had no choice but to take Wednesday off.
One good thing that did happen on that week was DotA 6.55 and 6.55b came out. It had the longest changelog in a DotA version to date, and quite a bit of changes really affecting how the game is currently played. I was happy. 🙂
So I spent Wednesday resting in front of the TV and my laptop, watching some NatGeo stuff and reading up on the DotA changes. I could hardly wait to try it out, but didn’t want to waste the effort to lose with noob teammates, I decided to wait until my friends arrived home from work. We delivered some unanswered pwnage in Garena that night. Gotta love the smell of noobs dying.
Went to work on Thursday, but ended up coughing the entire day. I guess I aggravated myself yet again. Not being fully well + commuting to work passing through Pasay = sickness. (Seriously, everything in Pasay needs to be cleaned up and sterilized. Specially the air, or the lack of its breatheable components…). So as to not inflict further harm on myself, I decided to take Friday and Saturday on SL as well. (and I was a bit enjoying being able to watch some daytime TV again. Hehe.)
Coughing started to subside to a reasonable amount at about Monday, so I went to work then. I had to drive Mom to work anyway, so I guessed I’d better go myself too. Still has cough until now (it’s Tuesday night), but its already semi-bearable.
Also another treat that (maybe) sped up my recovery: DotA 6.56 was released Monday. Not as much changes like the one the week before, but still some minor improvements and balance changes They rightfully lessened the imbaness on Enchantress’ Untouchable (Arun was having way too much fun with it to be legal), nerfed Captain Obvious, and adjusted a few other stuff. That version felt less like Widotar than the last one.
Hmm, I’ve already covered the last 10 days. So I leave you with Jin’s updated YM avatar. Enjoy (or not).
