Wednesday, December 20. The day of the blueREP Christmas Party. Yet another rehearsal day as well. Been looking forward to this day - or night, at the very least - for more than a week. And the superhero theme was something that was bound to be interesting. Plus... it's a blueREP party. Lots of fun (and crazy) things happen at blueREP parties. I didn't want to miss that.

Woke up that morning then had breakfast. It started out like a normal day, then for some reason, I started to get a headache during breakfast. Odd, snce eating's supposed to make you feel better, not worse. Thought it'd get better after a couple of hours.

Lunch. Headache getting worse, tummy acting up, appetite not up to par. Not a very good sign. Took some medication, hoping to ease the pains. Had to go to McDonald's to meet up with HSM ticket buyer. Finally had some food there to fill my tummy. Still not feeling 100%.

Headed to Ateneo to hang out at the blueREP room in MVP. Electric fan started to bother me; was feeling cold, started getting the chills. Tummy still churning, head still aching a bit. After a failed attempt at keeping up with the fun, decided to take a nap. Hoped it would help. Nope.

Went to the cafeteria with the cast. Started feeling even worse. Wanted to eat, but the smell of food made me want to puke. My current state was becoming obvious to others. Suggested that I drink more water, as well as juice, which I did. (The juice was GOOD, by the way.) Couldn't stay in caf, so I headed to the rehearsal venue ahead of the others.

Start of rehearsals. Head and tummy possibly at its worst. Couldn't do the warm-up properly; attempting crunches would have only made me want to puke. Unfortunately, right before we ran one of the numbers, my body decided that this was the best time to puke. So I rushed to the bathroom and puked. Felt a little bit better after that. My group wasn't being choreographed, so I used the time to get more rest. Was hoping I was getting more strength, so I could give it 100% during rehearsals and make it to the party.

Moved from SEC to Colayco. Was feeling better, after puking and remaining very still on the ground during rehearsals. Had even more water, though it didn't seem to help and left my mouth dry. The venue was open-air, and had a LOT of ceiling fans. Made me feel cold.

Started rehearsing. Was okay for the first few minutes, then my health (or whatever) started deteriorating. Was getting the chills, so I borrowed a jacket, which didn't really help since the chills were more... internal? Tried to give a hundred percent during choreo.

After choreo was done, my fever was at its worst. The chills were really bad, and I was practically immobile for the rest of rehearsals. Laura and Carla took care of me, leading me away from the winds and fans and made me drink water and take medicine. Napped for the rest of rehearsals.

When I woke up, it was obvious that I was in no condition to go to the party, which SUCKED. Headed home thanks to Laura.

I hate being sick, and it's even worse when getting sick makes me miss something I've been anticipating. I couldn't go to the party, and I couldn' concentrate on rehearsals.

I'm better now, though I don't know if I can rehearse (or at least operate at 100%) today. I'll figure that out after lunch. I still have a slight fever, and I'm trying to recuperate fully so I'm not useless at tomorrow's (possibly more important) rehearsals.

Ugh.
