I'm disgustingly sick. And I hate it so much! I can't stand it, it's one of the things I wish I never have to go through. Every year I always try my hardest not to get sick, and yet, I still get sick like almost every year! I think that, every winter, I've gotten sick at least once or twice. It's ridiculous. Being sick somewhat ruined my Thanksgiving break.
This break, I barely ate anything. I didn't even know I was sick at first; it was hard to sleep at night, but it didn't bother me much though. I slept a bit early, well for me, which was around 11 PM. Then woke up almost about 12PM. Tried to go eat, but I couldn't really. And just took some mediciene. Then went to sleep. And woke up around 3PM. I slept so much!
The weird thing was that I didn't have any other symptons. I just felt very warm and wanted to throw up, which I did do. Hahah. Anyways, I felt so much better on Friday, but funny thing was there was like no more food anymore for me. Oh well, I wasn't even really hungry to eat the food this year, strangely. But then more bad news; I got sick like on Sunday with my nose running and getting a stuffy nose. This sucks. So far, I'm still a bit sick, and yes, I hate it so much.
Someday I really really want to go ice-skating. The sport looks so much fun! And I think I would find it interesting. When I was younger, I use to fantasize myself on the ice, becoming super elegant and graceful. I think it was because I use to watch lots of people skating on ice when I was younger. The tricks they do are amazing, I have tons much respect for them.
Those tricks, I just can't get over it. It looks very graceful, and like an easy thing to do. But I think that if I was to actually try, I'd just hurt myself. The spins are awesome, they spin so fast and yet, they are in control. And when they lift their legs up into the air, or one of my favorites, holding another person into the air while skating. Now that is some incredible stuff.
My boyfriend's mom wants to go skating, maybe sometime this week. And hopefully I'll get to go along and watch her skate, I heard she use to be really good. And then i'd get a teacher! Plus, learning from someone who loves to do that is good, that means I could understand skating much more. From the photo above, Ryota and I were talking about if we could breakdance onto the ice. Haha, that picture is proof! Not that I would try something like that, too extreme for me. :p
I love Thanksgiving. I think it's one of the best holidays. Mostly because there's a BUNCH of food, and yes, I love food. And my family makes tons of food, it isn't even always related to the holidays. We'll make eggrolls and noodles too! Which I think is even yummier. But I like this holiday because everyone always gets together to basically to me, get fat. And it's okay to stuff your face because you know that everyone else is doing the same.
I can't even choose what my favorite dish would be, too many things I eat in one day. It's pretty funny when my mom tries to make turkey. She does it like every year, and somewhat as a custom, it always burns. We don't even like turkey much, but yet she still buys a bird and cooks it. It's like a tradition I suppose. I think my brother is always going crazy with the pumpkin pie. Like every year, it's the one thing he cannot wait to eat. I think maybe Latesea too, I can't remember. Well maybe it's just everybody, but my dad likes apple. I think i'm always eating mash potatoes. They are soooo good!
Another thing I like about it is that my family gets together. And we don't eat once, we eat all day long, and some years the whole week. But I love it, because the food is so good, and we all get together to hang out and just have fun. It's comforting, and we're all happy. Thanksgiving is fun, and also it makes us think back to the pilgrim days. We should be thankful for the indians and pilgrims back in time. It was a peaceful. I can't wait to eat next week!
Yesterday in class, we watched this video about this boy who has prader willy syndrome. If you don't know what that is, it's a disease where a person is "addicted" to food. All they want to do is eat food, like all the time. And it's not where like say your hungry from after school and you just want to eat. This syndrome is more servere. It's when all that person can think about is just food and they have a strong desire just to keep eating.
It's cruel how people can act towards these people. From what i've heard, before, a couple years ago, a guy at my school had this. And just for the students amusements, they would throw food onto the ground and he would just dive for it. He couldn't help himself and he just went for the food. It's sad how people can act towards people like that! It's not his fault, he can't help himself. It's just wrong.
In the video, this boy was just always hungry. So hungry, that his dad had to lock up the kitchen and any areas that contained food. And sadly, Max, the boy, he would have tantrums because all he wanted was just food. As if he was a little kid. And his dad seemed to have a hard time with him when it came to that. He had to make sure he made a timed schedule for when Max could eat. And even if it was about 15 mins before dinner time, Max's stomach would hurt, as if he was getting stabbed multiples as he claimied. I hope he can get help with that. And it makes me happy knowing that his father cares so much about him to try to help him out. It was cute when both of them were talking about how much they loved each other too. That's good that Max knows that he always has that one person to always be there for him when he needs help.
