WTF??

I recently had an outbreak of cold sores on my lip, on the day of my MEDLAW exam.

Reading from a few medical sites, including Wikipedia, apparently, I have HSV-1.

What's that?

Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1.

Herpes?

Herpes??

HERPES???

"WTF?? HERPES??"

ISN'T THAT WHAT THEY CLASSIFIED AS AN STD IN MY SEC SCH TEXTBOOKS??

I'm not some sleazy slut who sleeps around la, wtf.

I've been having those cold sores ever since I was a kid which, my beloved grandma told me, were caused by a lizard crawling on my face and peeing on my lip while I was sleeping.

=.=

Of course, relying on more reliable methods of deduction (all hail the Internet!), I have diagnosed that my body is now riddled with HSV-1, an incurable virus, thanks to a childhood infection.

Maybe it was really spread through a goddamn lizard peeing on my face. Fuck.

And come to think of it, I've been actually having an outbreak of cold sores at least once a year (only, thank God - I read that some people have them as often as once a freaking month). And it usually occurs at the same place more often than not, which would be the right-hand corner of my upper lip.

And cold sores can be triggered by stress.

It's fucking painful la.

I blame MASINA.

So now, I have this gigantic ulcer-like thingy on my lip, because the little blisters scabbed over and the fucking scab keeps splitting, getting wet and falling out in a mushy mess. And it hurts like a right bitch (but it's cuz I'm covering it with some aloe vera gel, which I hope will speed up the healing process. AND IT'S STINGING LIKE HELL.)

It's so painful until I can't eat or drink properly. Maybe I can use this period of time to lose some weight, heheh.

I just don't want the fucking thing to get infected. That would be some crazy shit man, seriously.

I BLAME MASINA.

Sorry to all the people I've shared food with recently. Apparently, it can spread through saliva so you might get it!! IT'S FUCKING CONTAGIOUS. SORRY!!
