Isolation
The sun was already out, yet it's still too early to wake up as I slept just few hours ago.

My body feels a little weirder than it seems everyday. My feet are cold like a frozen wind. My body is shaking with chills under my blanket.

I dump the back of my hand to my neck. Confirmed, it is a fever.

I hurriedly tell it to my Grandmother, and her face turned into something like weary and shocked.

She makes me a room of isolation, hands me mask to wear, and monitors my temperature from time to time.

This is the only time I feel this kind of treatment. It's like I bring something deadly that could possibly ever be.

It is undeniable that this is a sign of Corona Virus, but how can I ever have one when I was just at home for a very long time, enough for our house to vomit me to any far away land.

In addition, I'm going through excessive diet to the point I don't eat anything at all, all day long, and exercising a little bit too much my body could posibly handle as a beginner.

I also don't get enough sleep as I take a rest 3:30 am — 4:00 am, then wake up early in the morning.

It's not the very first time that this kind of sick is consuming me, especially while on an improper weight-losing routine.

But it's my first time to feel isolated like I bring something abominable.

Well, I cannot blame them, they are just protecting themselves for any worse.

So, of you're planning to lose some weight as most of us gained too much from the earlier quarantine, be sure to do it properly, and do not push yourself beyond your body's limitation.

By the way, I gotta go get some sleep now. Goodnight.
