Knocked out

And just like that, my Sunday passed by like nothing. I slept the entire day. Literally the entire day. Covid is a traitor. Just when you think you’re already well, it suddenly saps your energy and knocks you out. I also thought my coughing is gone but here it comes again. I woke up this morning coughing like crazy. So all my good intentions for this day flew out the window. I was thinking of going to Quezon City Circle to buy gardening supplies but I could barely keep my eyes open today.

I don’t know how long I will be like this. Whenever I feel annoyed with my condition, I remind myself that I am one of the lucky ones who didn’t have to go to the hospital considering that I have asthma. Many friends’ and acquaintances’ family members, despite being fully vaccinated and young, have succumbed to this disease.

In other news, the live action series of Cowboy Bebop will soon be shown on Netflix. At least they kept the music of the original (how can you replace Yoko Kanno???) and is faithful to the campy intro of the original anime. Years ago I was hyped to learn that they were thinking of having Keanu Reeves as Spike Spiegel but he’s too old now to play Spike and instead they got Korean American actor John Cho, who looks too broody.

I hope this doesn’t disappoint. At least they could try to be the live action of Ruruoni Kenshin, which turned out ok for a super fan of the original anime and manga like me.
