Coping…
The end of the month….and the quarter end is fast approaching….and I can say I’m dying…..
Today I got to check my schedule for the upcomming week….. Since May I’ve been working on the 7:00 – 7:30 p.m. shift that ends at around 4:00-4:30 a.m. My boyfriend and I have gotten used to this….we even get to sleep at around 8:00 a.m. during my days off from work and we’d be awake from midnight and spend time reading,eating or watching a movie (dvd marathon)….I’ve gotten used to greeting my friends Good Morning at 8:00 p.m. and texting goodnight to my Mom by the time she wakes up….
And now, I have to get used to a new schedule whick starts at 3:00 a.m.!!! Arghh!!!! at least I have four days straight to get used to the new schedule and train my body clock…..
Reading
When I want to relax I read…books, old newspapers, magazines. most of the time when I can’t sleep I read until I get sleepy. I recently got a book…from a second-hand bookshop its’ cover is tattered but I was intrigues with the teaser I read from the back cover. As I was reading the book it wasn’t the story that captivated me….what captivated me was the dialogue of the friend of the heroine and the aunt of the heroine. The girl asked the older woman “Is she a psychic? can she really foresee the future?” to which the older woman replied “She is no more psychic than you and I,but you know what? She was able to recognize this: When a person is content with what he has then he stops growing,he stops to learn and see the other side of the fence…what she did was to shake you up so you begin to question the kind of life that you are living…so that you would yearn for something that from the very beginning is very attainable for you….”
A stormy day…..
My Day
Ear-splitting voice screaming on top of his lungs while singing on a background music so low you can hardly hear it, woke me up today at 11:00 am….just 3 hours after I closed my eyes. I was excited to sleep because there’s a typhoon signal number 1 here and that would mean that i just need to open my window and have cool air circulating around my rented room without having to turn on the electric fan…my land lady’s kids wont be home today because they already have their packed lunch before leaving for school…and that means no kids noisily running all over the house by noon.
So by 6:00 am I ate my dinner,while wathing 2 morning shows on tv, then took a bath,slathered lotion all over my skin and prepped for bed….looking forward to a restful sleep.as the rains keeps on puring outside.
Then by 11:00 all hell broke lose! the son-in-law of the landlady which lives a floor below me. He was squaling his lungs out singing something that no lyrics seems to fit in and no rythm exist even turing it up to the highest volume.
The monster in me woke up! How dare this croaking insect dare disturb my slumber! So, i went down the stairs knocked on their door and I told him to tone down because I am sleeping and I am paying here unlike him….and one more thing his singing hurts my ears and he sounds like a dying bullhorn! then I knocked on my land lady’s door and told her what I did and I got really pissed off because this has happened countless of times, and I’ve already complained twice. She apologized (she’s such a sweet old lady) and talked to her good for nothing,jobless,useless SIL.
Since I can’t get back to sleep I ate 2 of my 5 ripe mangoes,watched the noontime news, read a novel, texted my Mom and my sister and my lover. By 3:30 pm I felt sleepy…at long last! I woke up 5:30 pm, heated my milk ate breakfast, showered,and prepared for work, by 7:10 pm I am on my way to the 5th floor…..another day officially begins for me…..
