twelve monkeys

baguio's like hongkong during the time of SARS.

almost everyone you meet at downtown wear face masks. no, the face masks are not spider man /zorro masks, they're surgical masks, N95s and shit. i even saw a korean guy wearing a SWAT-like tear gas mask while doing his groceries. that was extreme. can you blame the guy? nah, of course not, but he was funny to watch, though.

blame it all on meningococcimia, a flu-like, plague-like disease that is currently the "in" thing in the city of pines. the damn "flu" is said to be so deadly that once infected (and not treated immediately), you could be dead in 36 hours. dang! seems like meningo is working extra hard to claim its own chapter in the medical books eh?

well, it has created quite a scare in the city. i don't really know how many died from it, but i got a funny feeling that i'd be next. and it's giving me the creeps. now my hair is starting to stand on end.

oh, about that korean guy. what was so funny about him yesterday was, he was walking around with that tear gas mask, and he was with his daughter and his daughter's mother? nanny? mother that looks like a nanny? i don't know. and both of them were not wearing any mask or protection at all. it was like "mr. hyung soong nak" wanted to be the only person to survive the end of the world.

what can i say? long live the 12 monkeys!!!

i'm out.
