I envy you whose eyes are obliging enough to send you to deep slumber. You let your body lie down on the sofa, and in a short time, you are asleep, rocked to the world of sound sleep.
Me? Sleep is elusive. I have to read a book so that my eyelids will droop. I have to finish late night shows and engorge my head with all the TV scenes and talks so that my head will sway to sleep's lullaby. Or stay with the PC, bloghopping, or chatting, or surfing until my eyes hurt and my contacts wanting to pop out of my eyes.
Then I feel sleepy in the middle of work, or in the middle of a chore. Unwanted but wanted sleep that sneaks in unexpected moments. Then I sleep late and not as early as you sleep which is at past 9 in the evening or at past 2 in the afternoon. How I envy you.
Well, there are a few times I could make it. But those times you can count without being bored counting the times.
Hey, Kay, what is your secret? Kindly tell Mama.

the beauty of a good sleep is that after you wake up, you feel that your nostril is very clean, the unique feeling after drinking 7-UP, and you feel recharged...but before/after you sleep just say a little prayer
ReplyDeleteI Say A Little Pray For You
The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup
I say a little pray for you
While combing my hair now,
And wondering what dress to wear now,
I say a little prayer for you
Forever, and ever, you'll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever, and ever, we never will part
Oh, how I love you
Together, forever, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only meen heartbreak for me.
I run for the bus, dear,
While riding I think of us, dear,
I say a little prayer for you.
At work I just take time
And all through my coffee break-time,
I say a little prayer for you.
Forever, and ever, you'll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever, and ever we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, forever, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me.
I say a little prayer for you
I say a little prayer for you
My darling believe me, ( beleive me)
For me there is no one but you!
Please love me too (answer his pray)
And I'm in love with you (answer his pray)
Answer my prayer now babe (answer his pray)
Forever, and ever, you'll stay in my heart
and I will love you
Forever, and ever we never will part
Oh, how I'll love you
Together, forever, that's how it must be
To live without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me (oooooooooh)

hello to you! it's good you're visiting again...
ReplyDeletehow i wish i can still experience waking up with a very clean nostril. you make me laugh about this SONG... and i feel i wanna dance now, too! one of my favorites...
wow ang ganda nitong kanta na nilagay ni techguy gustong gusto ko tong kantang 'to...hang swit.
ReplyDeleteyeah,ako mahirap gisingin ako pag talagang tulog ako*abah pinakamasarap ang matulog lalo na at nagpapahinga.
blog hop lang po.*kindat*
btw,ang dami mo pala ding blog...ako meron ako sa bravenet,multiply,blogspot3,cubeblog, at yung ibang account ko sa subrang dami nakalimutan ko na i-update saka nakalimutan ko din pw ko at yung ibang pinagsign-uphan ko.. madali naman i-retrieved kong sakali 'eh.
issh that your daughter? mmmmm..
ReplyDeleteyes, knoizki, she is my daughter..
ReplyDeletegot into modelling one time but stopped kasi conflict sa studies.. president siya ng student council ngayon.
hayyyyyyyy ditto. sleep is elusive, not by choice though. I have 2 kids who simply won't let me sleep when i feel like sleeping; i always wait until they are both asleep, but when that time comes eh buhay na buhay naman dugo ko....hay kapeeeeee
ReplyDeleteei rhada.. you came to visit again... maliliit pa kasi ang kids mo. actually, kailangan nating samantalahin ang mga pagkakataong ganyan when our kids wanted us always to be there by their side. kasi when they grow up, nababawasan na yan cuz they have their own world na.
ReplyDeletetama ka, kape ang lunas dyan!
BING, Kinantahan ka na ng lullabye ng ating Mr. Romantic guy...hahaha. SLEEP, that's my favorite thing to do, but do little time for it. Hay!
ReplyDeletehi sol...
ReplyDelete'nga e... playing romantic ha ha
that is the reason why maybe i find it hard to sleep - the hectic sked.
musta na?
I am lucky Bing, i hit the bed and after a while I am asleep.. no more interruption yan, gising ko pag kailangan ng bumangon. But there was a time na for 3 weeks (right 3 weeks) wala akong tulog as in wala talaga. The more i looked for sleep, the more i can't get it... don't want to go over that phase again and i feel so blessed everytime i get up in the morning knowing i did not find it hard to fall asleep the night before...
ReplyDeleterhada said what i also wanted to say. they sleep, pero i can't sleep right away. tapos, by the time i want to sleep na, gising naman si bunso to drink his evening du-do. hay!
ReplyDeletehello mader bing, pasensiya ka na kong ngayon lang ulit ako napasyal dini. i was busy during the last few days.
ReplyDeleteanyways, tungkol sa tulog...lagi akong naiinggit sa asawa ko na kahihiga pa lang hilik na. while i toss and turn dahil hindi makatulog. it took me long to fall asleep :(
greetings!
@ rhada - yes, samantalahin mo... thanks for the link, ha?
ReplyDelete@ elizabeth - 3 weeks, beth??? baka naman me iniisip ka ng mga time da yun... minsan ang mga concerns hindi rin nakakapagpatulog. it's good you were back to the normal sleep.
@ justice - hirap talaga, no? pag may dumududo pang beybi, naranasan ko lahat yan - when you wanted to sleep, you can't.
@ beng - ok lang, beng. i understand. you seem to be a busy person with the kind of job you have. but m happy you're back visiting. pareho tayo, madalas inggit ako kay Papsie, naghihilik na, dilat na dilat pa 'ko!
6 hours of sleep gets me ready for whatever the next day holds. 7 hours which is kinda rare these days make me see things much clearer( grin..). I feel like a spring chicken, ready to roll over anything. 8 hours would be a bit too much, makes me feel drowsy and sluggish and makes my brain choke up like a drowning carburetor. What about 5 hours? 3 cups of dark, colombian brewed coffee spaced between 9-5, makes me feel I had slept for 6 hours!
ReplyDeleteOnly time I ever have trouble sleeping is in someone else's house on the first night. Namamahay ika nga...but other than that I do not have trouble sleeping even during my college days and we used to go hiking.
ReplyDeleteI do most of my work at night at kapag-lumampas na ng midnight nahihirapan na akong makatulog agad. So i just work and work till I feel real drowsy then I hit the sack. In the morning, I get to catch up with my sleep by taking forty winks while riding the jeepney, bus and MRT.
ReplyDeletebing,
ReplyDeletepalagay ko dahil sa cape yan kaya di ka makatulog. ikaw e, sobra hilig mo sa coffee.
tinitake home ko ibang mga writing works. usually kasi puro meetings ina-atupag ko sa umaga. tsaka mas nakakapagsulat ako sa gabi, kapag tahimik na ang mundo. :)
ReplyDelete@ ka uro - maybe. i am trying to cut the number of cups of coffee i drink.
ReplyDelete@ sam - hmmm... a very responsible individual.
