3 am
magtatagalog ulit ako ngayon. sumhow, im not in the mood to do this in english so id rather use the language im comfortable with, even if i do commit occasional mistakes with my grammar.
gising na ako since 3 am ngayon. hindi ko alam kung bakit basta nagising na lang ako. maaga ako natulog, siguro mga 10 pm, pagkatapos kong lumabas kasama sina sherwin para kumain. sabi ko manonood pa ako ng newsflash special edition ng GMA7, pero nakatulog na pala ako.
paggising ko ng 3, may message sa cellphone ko. konting text sabay kuha ng laptop para magsulat. sayang oras. besides, i was planning to write the night before but since i slept early, it seemed like a good way to do the writing early in the morning. i had a clearer head and the whole place’s silent. between paragraphs and the faint sounds of jazz music from my player, i was also texting someone who was also awake on a such an ungodly hour. and between my 2nd article and motorcycle accident updates, i ate my breakfast (that was around 5 in the morning already) of raisin oatmeal cookies i bought from goldilocks the night before. there were a couple more text messages after that, this time about another accident, a truck loaded with butchered pigs and cows. i finished five articles this morning.
call me inspired. i’ve never woken up at 3 am before, unless im going off on a trip and is too excited and hyped to sleep. so yeah, there must be something with me these days. and perhaps, this is just what i need.
…ngayon ko lang na-realize sa point na ‘to na hindi pala tagalog ang kabuuan ng aking entry. parang nagmukha tuloy siyang corny dahil sa language shifting at broken english. hmmm…okay lang. siuro naman, im entitled to commit mistakes every now and then.
