one of the ghosts of my childhood came rushing at my doorsteps last week. my housemate caught chicken pox and, unfortunately, i have not contracted it as a child when i could have had it already.
aside from not being able to learn how to ride a bike, having not contracted chicken pox is one of my childhood "hangups." strange but it is one of the few instances where i would want to get ill rather than having that constant worry of scars which i could have in a lifetime already. but as of now, again, i have to make another chickenpox run for i am in a new company, still on a probationary status without a health card and vacation leaves. i have to be practical.
when i was in sixth grade, my father (he was 48 years old then) and my sister had it almost at the same time, however, i escaped from getting it by leaving my house temporarily for i was vying for honors then. due to "intense competition", i could not manage to get absent for long. i may be on the same track with him getting it in the later years.
