Yikes. Why has the skin around my purple bruises turned yellow in colour? 0.o This is odd, to say the least. At least for someone who hasn't had such a thing happen to him before. It's like i applied that ancient yellow antiseptic medication to my bruises and the medication had dyed my skin yellow.
I have a few more yellow spots appearing on my upper body too, and one on my inner thigh. The one on my thigh was where i was hit by a painball. And when i press on the yellow spots on my upper body, it ACHES, and i just KNOW that these were the parts of my body that were hit by painballs (oh, i'm sorry...painTballs...:| ), but weren't hit severely enough to leave a purple bruise. In other words, the "invisible bruises" are starting to emerge.
Sick.
Speaking of yellow, worse still is that scrape of mine that i had gotten during basketball. I wasn't planning to blog about it, but well...the scrape's been a bright yellow ever since the day after i had gotten it...like yellowish white. And it had been drying properly.
But well...i guess i had been ignoring it for quite some time. I blame it on Mass Effect...it's an awesome game! Go try it out! XD
Anyway, i just finished my shower, and just when i had started typing this blog entry, i looked down at my knee and suddenly realised that the scab had somehow expanded and burst, and the pus was leaking out...
The pus was a smooth, deep yellow colour...just like liquid egg yolk. And as i stared at the pus leaking out of my scab, thick and viscous, yet liquid all the same, i was suddenly reminded of how it looks when u accidentally break the egg yolk of a fried egg done easy-over, and the yolk starts seeping out slowly...
SICK.
Holy shit. In any case, i've cleaned up the yolk...er, pus...with tissue paper, and i shall hope that the wound dries up for REAL when i wake up tomorrow morning. I don't want to have egg yolk...er, pus...all over my bed. Hmmm...i wonder how the yolk...er, pus...would taste like if i were to fry it with some bacon...erm, er...0.o
...Well, anyway, putting all that aside, i've learnt something really important over the past few days. And that is that you won't ever truly appreciate something until there is a possibility that you're going to lose it for good. Only then, would you realise your good fortune in having it in the first place, and only then would you realise that the tiny details that you had complained about aren't very important at all.
It's really a cliche-ish thing to say, but yeah, all of us should learn to appreciate what we have as far as possible, because we never know when we're going to lose it all. And we shouldn't wait until the danger of losing what we have is apparent before appreciating what we have.
And don't think you already understand what i'm saying, because i had heard so many people give that same advice to me, and i thought i knew what they meant. But it is only NOW that i UNDERSTAND their advice.
Or at least i think i do. It's hard to tell. By the way, this has nothing to do with appreciating my currently yellow and deteriorating body! >.<
