Just an update... about life

24-06-2021

Just my daily busy boring life. Skip if it doesn’t interest you.

I’ve been used to sleeping only 3-4 hours a day since like forever. With academic stuffs, student council, student organization, business, baby sitting (‘coz I do have my nephew to take care of), juggling my time to do all my responsibilities is hard.

Well, I do think that I’m responsible enough because I was able to do every tasks I need to do but that costs me my sleep, I am depriving myself of sleep and I am well aware that it’s not healthy at all.

It was on 22nd of May when this Academic Year has ended but I still have pending requirements and org stuffs which I was able to finish at the 4th of June. After that, I was excited, I thought I can finally take a break but nah, it wasn’t the case for me. Vacation is for work.

5th of June and I’m back at work. It’s not actually that hard, in fact, I’m already used to it but the physical exhaustion and my lack of sleep is not a very good combination at all. My body’s aching all over and I just feel so tired no matter what.

To cut the story short, what I’m trying to tell is that I really want to fix my sleeping habit now. I already started this week. I usually stop using phone and any gadgets at 2am, and then I’ll fall asleep at around 3-4am so I tried to adjust it at 12mn.

I started this adjustment since this week and it’s not that easy. You know that feels? When you have more sleep you end up feeling sleepier? That’s what I am feeling every morning. But as days passed by I’m getting less headache and I don’t know how to describe it but it feels light… I feel so light.

Anyways, I’m just telling this to update you all with what I’m up to these past few days.

I’m digging up my mind thinking of what to write but I end up typing this one. I was able to sleep before 12mn last night. Today is Thursday and it’s my schedule to cook breakfast. I usually wake up at 6am when it’s my schedule but I set my alarm at 5am today planning to write an article about the topic that I have been thinking since last night.

The plan didn’t happen though for I end up waking up at 6:30am. Oh shoot! As soon as I saw the time, I immediately get up, wash my face, cook rice, and look for whatever food that is fast and easy to cook at the kitchen. I saw Maling (luncheon meat) at the cupboard and that’s what I cooked. I added scrambled eggs too and fried some banana (saba).

In less than an hour, breakfast is ready. Told you it is easy and fast to cook. Lol. At 8am, we’re done with breakfast. I then took a bath prepare for work and at quarter to 9, we’re off to our store. Actually, I’m already in our store as I was typing this one.

Most of the customers usually come on the morning that’s why I have been typing this for over an hour now. One word, one sentence, one paragraph, that’s all I can type before another customer came in again. I am only realizing it now that writing here at store isn’t a good idea at all.

Since on the 5th of June, this has been my daily life. Mondays-Saturdays our store is open. It’s on morning when we have lots of customers. Then on lunch time, you know when the spoon is already near at your mouth, that’s the time when another customer will come in. They’re really great in timing eh. I mostly deal with customers and Ate is just sitting the whole day (sana all) dealing with paperworks. At noon, I’m checking the deliveries if there’s any then finally, I can use my phone ‘coz it is dead hours and there’s not many customers.

At 5pm, closing time, as I am about to put the key on the key hole to lock the door, customers who are office workers will came rushing and will ask “are you still open?” and of course, I don’t have a choice but to entertain them again. And its overtime! 5pm becomes 5:30-6.pm. Lol

At 6, we’re already at home. Sometimes I’ll clean the kitchen, put the clean plates and glasses on their proper place then I’ll take a bath to ease that sticky feeling from whole day of work. 6:30pm, it’s our daily family devotion and prayer meeting. At 8pm, we’re done eating our dinner.

When Ate and Kuya have meetings at night, I usually take care of my 4 year old nephew and if they don’t have any meetings, finally! A me-time which I always use to read and write articles and do whatever I want to do.

So, I just noticed that it’s already past lunch time. I already lost what I’m trying to say because a customer just came in and I think it’s better if I’ll already end it here. If ever you read this, I hope I didn’t waste your time.

Gonna grab my lunch now for i'm already famished.

Hope you didn’t get bored with my so-so daily life during my kind of school vacation. How about you? What are you up to these days? Hmm.

I’m really ending it now. Thanks for reading, and as always, take care! 
