Dengue Positive

Here I am again. Lying in the same uncomfy bed. Dextrosed for nourishment. And taking pains of the hospital feel and smell.

I woke up this morning with high fever, severe headache with vomitting. Paranoid as ever, I was rushed in the hospital for proper care.

As suspected, after two blood testings, I am dengue positive. But only a mild case. Good thing that I was brought to the hospital asap before I experience bleeding.

Hay. That fucking mosquito has a very good timing. Tsk. Goodluck to me. It is only three days left before Prelims.

Note to self: dengue positive or not, you ought to get a minimum rating of 90 percent in all your subjects. I am such a masochist.

Aral-aralan

While having my Persons class, I got a call from Nico inviting me yet again for another 'intellectual discussion' aka NLEX aral-aralan in Shell Balagtas. This time, we studied for Political Law. He is reviewing for his Prelims while I am memorizing Article V of the 1987 Constitution.

Suffrage, the right to vote, was developed from two parallel and complementary lines. Firstly, from a statutory right to constitutional right transition. The 1973 Consti made it an obligation but the 1987 Consti removed such obligation thereby allowing:
a. all citizens of the Philippines not disqualified by law;
b. atleast 18 years old;
c. domiciled in the Phil for 1 year and resided in the place where he intends to vote for atleast 6 months; and

It is to take note that there is no literacy, property and other substantive requirements needed for a person to exercise his right.

Secondly, the other line is that suffrage used to be a right belonging to male illustrado only; then given to literate women; and finally to unlettered 18 year olds (by virtue of the 1987 Constitution).

So far, tonight's aral-aralan is productive.

Shrooms Overload

Because it is Tuesday today, it only means one thing: hell day. As I have always complained, the combination of Political and Criminal Laws subjects is way too exhausting.

Political Law is very time consuming for there are plenty of cases to read and digest. Not to mention the ala cross examination feel during recitations. Well, lucky me bacause I always get to ace my recit in this class. Can't thank enough my OrCom training for it has prepared me well for Law school.

As for Criminal Law, the many articles and provisions in the Revised Penal Code (RPC) to memorize is too taxing. Articles eleven to fourteen is suicide!

Wherefore, after a long and stressful day, classmates and I decided to pig-out. We had dinner in Mushroom Burger along West Avenue, Quezon City. I ordered for meal C3---a combination of Pancit Canton delight and regular mushroom burger with drinks (I opted for Tropicana).

Held:
3.5 spoons for Pancit Canton and 4 bites for the burger.

Weird

I don't know what the eff is wrong with Nico but he sounds so nonsense and weird in his phone call. Also, I am so skeptic on his state. I am wonderinng if he is just pulling out a joke or he's really feeling burdened.

Gee, I am not used to hearing and knowing that other side of him. I have always known him to be the ever bubbly and stress free person that he was/is.

Just last friday, I agreed to meet up with him in Petron Bocaue to be his study partner. I knew in my heart that it'll never yield to anything productive but I indulged nevertheless.

All for a friend drama again. Hay.
