I just like you.
There was always one time, where she was having flu. She was always having flu. In the morning, in the car, where a place was too cold - her nose easily runny. At first, she was really shy. She always brought together her handkerchief or tissues to cover her runny nose and kept it in her bag - and that's why she likes to collect McD's tissues and she put it in her car dashboard. She said, just in case her nose got wet, she can just grab it.
And after a year of knowing her, I always prepared a box of tissues in my car, just in case she needed it. And yah, she always needed it. Sometimes not because of her runny nose, but she always spilled her water, she spitted too much when she was excited and I had to wipe my face, she ate in the car so she wanted to wipe her hands. So, every time I saw someone sell tissues, or just saw tissues at the shop, I will remember her, and her runny nose. A weird memory, but I like it.
When we were in the car, and her nose suddenly gets cold, I will quickly adjust the air-cond or sometimes I just switch off the air-cond and open the window until she was okay. She will apologize to me for her sensitive nose but after a while, she just does not care. We adapted to her condition, so I just automatically did the above steps, haha.
But throughout my years knowing her, she does not care enough about that anymore, and most of the time, she just wiped her nose with her sleeve. Yeah, I know, yuck whatsoever haha. But I always find it so weird. There's one time I asked her, was she doing the same when she was with everyone? I mean, her friends, colleague. She said it depends. If her runny nose was terrible, she will just wipe it. I was like, oh my god, this girl. So without her knowing, I always make sure she has a handkerchief or tissues in her bag or bags. I really hope she will stop doing that in front of others. Put some manners, kid! Haha.
I grew up with a strict dad. He always took care of our manners, attitude, and behavior. So, I never do that in my whole life. But knowing her..? She just not in my circle - but I love it. It was really cool, but yah. I told her, it was dirty, disgusting but she never listens to me. I ever asked her, whether she had nose disease or what. But she said, she just fine. She did a lot of medical check-ups; these include for her school entrance, national service, going abroad - but the doctors never say anything. So she was probably just having a sensitive nose.
I also asked my brother, he is a doctor. And he also said the same. So I just hope it is something normal.
I also prohibit her to drink cold. Always remind her to cover her body with a blanket at night, do not turn on the air-cond when she was staying at the hotel, and never swim at night. I sound like my father, right? Haha, I knew it. But she is a baby. She deserves that.
Even though she wears socks - and all of her socks, mostly, are the thick ones. She just wears cotton socks because she has this sensitive skin she said (which I highly doubted haha), but she still gets cold all the time. She sneezes every time we were in the car. So I also put my pashmina in the car compartment for her and sometimes I just ordered her to wear my sweater because I also prepared for a sweater if I am cold! Amazingly, all of the sweaters I brought were disappeared that night. So I stopped asking her to wear it, and instead, I will remind her to bring her own sweater before she went out of her home. So where were all of my sweaters? Oh yeah everyone knew it, but that's okay. Somedays I will have it back, phew.
So for her 30th birthday this year, I want to give her a set of winter attire - these include a thick coat, scarf, cotton gloves, and also earmuffs, so she can always wear it when we go out. And I will prepare one in my car because I know she will forget to bring hers.
