Virus... Virus...Virus...

Now, i know the potency and danger of the bug called virus. It may be microscopic in size, cannot be seen by the naked eye, but it may be omnipresent and spread like wild fire. Only that this cannot be seen but the California(or even the Sumatra) fires will at least give some signs (smoke and smell).

To think that a health freak and doctor-wanna-be like me may be a potential victim gives me shudders. During the end of August this year, I was in a vulnerable state to the Viral conjunctivitis, and was super duper worried of becoming that victim because my driving test is during that week. With God's blessings and guidance, and Our Lady intercessions, I was spared!

Just last week, Xiu contracted the Varicella-zoster virus(VZV), also known as human herpes virus 3 (HHV-3), which acually causes the disease Chicken Pox. If contracted, symptoms and signs will appear 10-21 days after exposure to the virus. Now, I am at a loss of what to do, since I acually slept in the same room and live in the same house as her. Should have taken PY's advice in september to go for the vaccination, but i really forgot about it with all the hassle and buzzle these couple of months. Only can leave this matter to the Lord our God! I am really very very worried.
