Am writing nothing profound. The title just states my current state of sleeplessness. Its 4:42 in the morning and im here drinking coffee while pounding at my keys to write what i can squeeze from my head as sane thoughts. Sign of ageing, I guess. But then, 30 years is not that old naman di ba (please confirm hehehehehe)? Haayyy…. Will just wait for the clock to hit 5:00 so I can transform to my mommy/housewife mode. Its too early to cook breakfast anyway so might as well maximize my remaining minutes of freedom hehehehe. As if I can write anything besides these mundane things about literally doing nothing in the wee hours of the morning. Can’t even get myself to compose a smart enough (oo, smart ako) comment on current events– am not really attuned to the happenings of the times lately except for the sentence on Saddam Hussein and the SC ruling on the People’s Initiative which every TV and radio station we tune into kept on announcing. My current events mostly include my son rad’s inserting a piece of green peas into his ear kasi nabibingi raw siya sa ingay ng mga kalaro niya, my daughter ima’s score in her math periodical test, my husband’s ear infection, the leak in our water line, our electric bill, my SOS to my dad to look for a new yaya, the state of my laundry, and our menu for the week. Whew. Serious stuff, eh? Hehehehe. How about doing some reflection on life, family values, humanity, rights and other topics na tipong kailangan mong magreview bago sumabak sa reflection? Too tedious, baka maubos lahat ng buhok ko sa kakaisip. Like to do that but not today. Baka magshort-circuit ang utak ko haha. The reflections Im capable of doing right now is how I can give enough time to each kid so they’ll all feel loved and happy. Also how to not get too tired of housework so I can sustain my kind and loving disposition and my energy for play. Hmmm, maybe I can include in my reflection list the ways I can do a makeover so I can look 10 years younger hehehe. I would love to hear people say "mukha kang teenager!" Ha ha. Wish ko lang. Noon, my husband told me that Im ageing gracefully, meaning di ako mukhang matanda (hmmm, baka naman carefully phrased na sagot yon na ang ibig sabihin ay mukha na akong 50 pero ayaw lang niya akong ma-hurt? Grrrr). Ngayon, when I ask him if maganda ako (women do need flattering every now and then aside from the usual affirmations of love), ang bilis ng sagot! "Oo naman!" Parang automatic reply sa telepono. Hmp. When I go to the mall, there are these salesladies who sell beauty products. They approach you and try to convince you to buy their stuff. I hate it when they do that kasi hindi maganda and opening nila. "Ma’am, gusto niyo ng makeover?" "Ma’am, skin whitening po." Grrr. Parang ipinamumukha sa akin na I need to have a makeover ASAP at mukha akong ulikba para gumamit ng whitening lotion at soap. Subukan lang ng mga yon na magoffer sa akin ng deodorant at baka magtransform ako bigla into Madam Claudia.
Its 5 am. Saka na ulit ito.
