2-hour sleep makes you dull

Today, it dawn on me what sleepless nights can do to us.  My sisters and I had 2 hours or less than that sleep last night.  We concocted our own version of "chicken feet" for our food cart business.  We slept beside the coal-stove.  You see, we didn't bother to fix our bed.  We tried to sleep so that we will be strengthened for the next day work. 

Sad to say, another story to tell, our store keeper/seller (tindero) didn't show up nor bother to inform us of his whereabouts.  His mobile phone cannot be reached.  But just the same, we wish him well.  We hope and pray all is well with him.

While in the office, I really cannot concentrate.  I have to walk around aimlessly, just to keep myself awake.  I went to the comfort room and close my eyes (mind you, while standing) to regain my consciousness when I get back to work on the computer.

Funny, early in the afternoon, between 2 to 3 pm, the time when, you really cannot help but submit to the natural call of your body to rest.  This is the siesta time for the oldies and youngsters, but sad to say, were forbidden for the working adults like us.

I was chatting with my sister, when I accidentally hit the sign out button.  When I signed in again, I confidently tick her name and the message goes like this: 

Me: grabe, sobrang sleepy ko, ikaw?
Recipient: sobrang sleepy rin.. kailangan lang gumising.. hehe..

I was shocked to see that the Avatar of the one who answered my chat message belongs to a man.  Thank God, the one I sent a message is a close buddy.  It made us a way to update each other of recent happenings.

But it didn't end there, I buzz my sister and ask what took her too long away from her computer.  Here's our conversation:

Me: nakakahiya, nawawala ka kasi. nag type ako. "sobrang sleepy ko, ikaw?"
Me: napadala ko sa iba
katherine: hehehe
katherine: ako sleepy din
katherine: naghuhugas nga ko plato kanina
katherine: nabagsak ko plato kasi napapapikit ako
katherine: buti di nabasag

 See?  What less sleep or sleep less night can do? 

But take a look at these....how do you sleep and what does it say about you... (a friend sent this to my email inbox)

Covering from head to toe - you may appear real macho in public, but deep down inside you you are weak and shy.  You tend to keep load of secrets.  If you encounter any problem, you will rather keep it to yourself and agonize over it than ask for help.  No wonder you grimace in your sleep.

Back sleeper with arms crossed to support the head - You're highly intelligent and enthusiastic to learn.  Yet sometimes you're filled with cranky ideas which people find hard to follow.  You take good care of your family, but the problem is you hardly love anybody.  A little bit choosy, huh?

Back sleeper with legs crossed - is self-obsessed and finds difficulty in accepting changes....

However you sleep, a good night one is resting in the night reconciled with God and yourself....
