helo..helo...

Ok, i was just thinking to myself now that the SARs is getting more serious. Its not the death part that's scary. its the isolation that worries me. You see, the minute they suspect you of having SARs, they put u in quarantine and if u really get it, you are put in an isolation ward. Noone is allow to come and visit and u are too sick to get up even to the window to try get a glimpse of ur friends and family. Imagine if u are down with a high fever for like 2 weeks, drifting in and out of consciousness, and when u are conscious, u are left to contend with the fact that you will be dying alone and may have caused some of your loved ones to share the same fate with you. I think that's the most terrible part of SARs. So totally alone...

Anyway, i think i am just being a tad too morose for my own good and shouldn't carry on talking about such stuff anymore. Lest i make people even more paranoid. Actually, im pretty paranoid myself..haha..(think those who have been hanging around me lately should know what i mean. :P ) and am seriously thinking of wearing a mask. Just in case. Sigh, it must be because i have too much time to myself to think stupid philosophical thoughts. Hmm...actually i think maybe my philo. professor should be proud of me. I actually absorbed some of what he said! Hmm....now i am impressed with myself! :)))

Neway, I was just wondering to myself (yes, again), when should we draw the line between telling a casual friend some juicy detail of our life when this particular piece of juicy information concerns you as well as someone else at the same time? Should we do a "tell all" since the pertaining issue concerns you, and hence this gives you the right to tell? Or, should we not tell at all, since the issue concerns someone else at the same time, though admittedly, you do have the right to. Or, should we limit our stories to only our close friends? Should it be a "free for all" thing? I realised that (with some enlightening from a close friend) that it doesn't take much for anyone to pour out their life stories to you. With that said, should i even be pissed with someone for indiscriminately "telling" since they couldn't help it? Or could they?

Uh oh, i realised that you probarly can't quite make sense of my last paragraph since its kinda written out of context. Im sorry...i'll try to be clearer next time. I keep running into this problem because i don't want to mention names and make this blog overtly personal. Wait, blogs are personal. What i mean is that i don't want to overstep into the privacy of the people i know and are refering to in my blogs. Better? Not really. Oh, what the hell. Just take it that my next blog will be better.
