my seasonal sickness

I'm down with flu bugs attacking my immune system. I blamed it on the changing weather at Makati - it's getting cloudy, rainy and cool started since last week. I'm always sensitive to weather change...

I've got some kind of skin irritation that occurs year (which I have no idea what sort of medical name for it). I consulted a Skin Specialist in year 2008 when I first got the skin irritation. It started with a big patch of redness at (any) part of my body. Then it will turn itchy and dry. That, the Dr. call it the "Mother" of the disease, because once that thing comes it will "produce" lots of children all around my body. And strangely, it will not appear at any part of my revealing skins, i.e., face, neck, hands, and lower part of my legs. But it will look very bad at those crucial area like under my breast, all around my stomach and waist area, and on my thighs. so, this Skin Prob will only appear whenever it's time for a weather change. Meaning, just like the change of 4 seasons - Winter, Spring, Summer, Autumn. Just as these 4 seasons exchanges, that irritation occurs to me. So I asked the Dr. "I'm genetically an Asian and I lived in Malaysia my whole life. Why am I getting this skin problem which closely related to the changing weather?" and so the ol'man Dr. says..."According to my experience, this is a very rare skin irritation and out of 10 cases, 7 cases are happening to Asians. It's practically a genetic allergy contains in Asian skin cells" What!?!? Me?!?!?! Eyes rolling, and okay.....fine then....

And back to my condition now, I have seasonal flu too. I always get feverish and flu whenever the weather changes. Irregardless it's rainy, cold, hot, dry, damp...whatever. You name it. and I won't miss a few ahh--chiuuu every morning. Just a signal my body is telling my lazy mind --- WAKE UP BI*TCH...! lolx
