i looked into the mirror and saw shrek.

i guess i made enough fuss in facebook about the 'world map' infesting my skin. well, it is actually wheals or hives, big and small, all over my body. so if you try to draw the outline of it, you will get a world map.

it happened suddenly, luckily after my exam. i woke up in the morning with many huge mosquito-bite-like thing on my neck, hands and legs. i thought it was the mosquito since there were some flying around. but there were too many mosquito-bite-thingie , so i figured it must be the bed. since it is not the first time anyway because i had it some years back when i slept on Bernard's (my cousin) bed. took some antihistamine tabs, changed my bedsheets and took away my blanket. and i went to sleep.

about 3 am in the morning today, i woke up feeling itchy all over my neck and i was like 'omigosh!'. went out to the block to have a good look at myself in the mirror - i was mortified. my face have these red spots all over. my neck was swollen like some goiter thing. hands and legs have wheals all over. and it itches like crazy. took my Fitzpatrick Dermatology book and surfed through the net to find out wud the heck was going on. acute urticaria - well not up to laryngeal edema or anaphylactic shock, thank God, but mine was pretty severe and was exactly like some of the pictures in the internet. din wanna go back to the bed, and i can't wake Jacy up because she is having her exam today. so i switched on my com, chatted with Nat, which was great because we've not been catching up for quite some time, and entertained myself with Oddee.com. about 5.30 am, heard Jacy's alarm ring, so i jumped to her bed to sleep. and in the morning Jonas came to give me some antihistamine tabs. but it is my flu meds actually, it is not so strong but it did help with the itchyness. and i missed my first day of practical classes.

going to do a major clean up to the bed, the toys and the room! lesson learnt.
