Ang gusto ko matulog … matulog ng matagal, ang sabi ng isip ko … HINDI (Bawal matulog)! Nagiisip ako ng pwedeng makapagpa – instant sleep sa aken. Nanood ako ng movie walang effect, naglaro ako ng psp hnd rin, naginternet wala lalo …pumikit, humiga, gumulong sa higaan, nilakasan ang fan, tinakpan ang mukha, nagbilang ng sheep … pinapagod ko na nga sarili ko, GISING PA RIN! HINDI MAKATULOG! ASAR! BUGNOT! MASAKIT ANG ULO! AMP @#$%&
Ayon tawag yata dito INSOMIA, insomia sa araw!, ang weird … peste wala sa timing ang problemang ‘to. Usually kapag stress daw ito nararanasan, eh hindi naman ako stress, wala nga halos ako ginagawa sa office na dapat kong ika – stress. Ano kaya ‘to, pasaway! Ang iba lang sa gabi ako pumapasok at sa umaga ako natutulog. Eto nga yata ang connect ng problema e kaso di ko maconnect..hehe. Dati naman pagka galing ng work tulog agad ako, ngayon hindi dilat na dilat, parang adik, daig ko pa nakatira nito e!
Bakit ba nahihirapan matulog ang isang tao, e gustong – gusto ko naman talagang matulog. Kung ano – ano nang diskarte ginawa ko, ayaw pa rin! Kung pwede lang bumili ng pampatulog na gamot, bumili na ako. Kaso bawal daw, need ng prescription ng doctor. Gusto ko pa naman tumaba, pero parang sa nangyayari lalo akong papayat nito. Lakas ko na nga kumain di rin naman umeepekto, di nakikita sa katawan ko. Ewan ko ba parang contradict lahat ng nangyayari sa aken ngayon, gusto ko matulog (hindi naman makatulog ng maayos), gusto ko tumaba (hindi naman tumataba).
Hays! Kaya ito ngayon nagblo-blog ako ng walang kakwenta – kwentang bagay, tutal naman di ako makatulog, tumayo nalang ako at naginternet. Excited na ako mag – unwind sa Bohol! Yehey baka sakaling mahanap ang pahingang hinahanap ko. Goodluck!

One Down!...more to go @$#
After three to four months of planning, collecting data, making interviews, weekly meetings, writing and editing articles, meeting deadlines, lay outing and designing, making follow ups, rushing last minute things, printing, inviting and launching…at last we’re done! Done with the first issue of ANI (Alay ni Isidro): the Official Newsletter of San Isidro Labrador Parish.
Yesterday, we did launch the maiden issue of ANI and we’re all glad to listen to people’s comment. Nice comments that highly praised the Editorial Board and Staff of the newsletter. Everyone is curious at first because we did it before the mass ended. We invited guests of course, to witness and accept the paper on the symbolic giving. The large cover page and the carrying logo were also revealed and introduced to the public. Although we’ve got a not – so – good reaction from one man regarding the logo, which without reading the content of the newsletter and without studying the inside logo meaning first, have patterned and compared it to the logo of the communist group of “Samahan ng Magsasakang Pilipino”, yet because we know the truth, we defended and keep our stand that it is originally made based on ANI’s meaning, vision and mission itself. And, upon searching the net there are zero found of the logo or group that he’s been saying. But that’s a nice try because we’ve learned to be prepared for any hullabaloo coming in our way.
Up to the last minute I'm arranging inevitable things that keep me busy roaming here and there. I wasn't able to notice that the gospel has something to do with the event and the people of ANI themselves. Well I’m thankful that I have attended to serve as reader for the liturgy of the word on the last mass of the day. So happy and pleased to cite, “Many are invited but few are chosen” – Mt 22:1-14. This persuades and motivates me to work even further. God really has His own way of encouraging and supporting His son through His words. Newsletter has just got started and all are hoping that it will last too long, long enough to establish a name which provides a good source to the people and widely enough to reach more catholic readers in the area.
More to go. Yes there’s a lot more works to do. But I will not be tired and stop my self on serving God because I know that He is not to us. I believe that continues service to HIM is sharing to people my knowledge and ability. In return, this is my way and effort of thanking HIM for giving me time, wisdom and blessings everyday.

The Graveyard Dilemma
I think there’s something wrong, nowadays. I cannot sleep well. I don’t know how this happen, when it started, and why I am experiencing this abnormality. I guess earlier that it’s merely because of the warmness of my room that cause me awaken in the middle of the day, but it did become a frequent picture. I sleep right away when I got home from work and unexpectedly awaken by 2 or 3 with a bad feeling of headache because of lack of sleep. After an hour or two of staying in my bed, keep shifting my position and maintaining a close – eye, I fall asleep again then need to wake up by 7. A bad and scatter sleeping pattern, is it? What a nightmare in a daytime!
I’ve been working at night for a year, since I graduated from college. At first, it seems that everything works fine. I arrive home early, go to bed and take the whole 8 hours of sleep, wake up at 7 then go to the office again. Of course, since it is night - there’s no traffic, no sticky feeling, no irritating heat of the sun and no stampede in the MRT station. I started to love the shift that whenever someone asked for my preferred shift I promptly answer – night shift!
Good for me also because I am a nocturnal person and I like working at night rather than daylight. With 30% night differential (yeah!) consolation, a very nice relief and substitute to the impose government taxes which always takes big percentage of our gross income. Who can be unhappy of that?
Yet it never be the same again, I am now suffering in an abnormal sleeping manner. Hanna, my officemate told me that in her opinion everyone working at night also experience more or less the same thing and go through in this problem too. The trouble in my part, I can’t figure out good solution for it. That’s why sometimes I’m forcing myself to sleep late in the morning to feel drowsy and sleepy, just for me to achieve the 6 hours of straight sleep without any interruption.
I don’t know if this is psychological because this often occurs whenever I’m thinking excessively that I can’t help to stop my brain from thinking. Even though my eyes are closed, my brain still does the processing of various things with no stop. Sometimes I also feel that the back of my head is aching too much, a very intolerable pain that I can’t stop pressing it hard of my hand until it’s gone.
Do you think this is a serious problem? Do you have any idea about this? Thanks. Oh by the way, don’t mind my poor English. *wink*

The unconventional “Lamay”
Medyo kakaiba na talaga ang panahon ngayon. Akala ko kasi dati kapag may pumanaw o namatay na kakilala natin: kaibigan, kamag – anak, kapitbahay, celebrity o iba pa, ang unang sasagi sa isip natin pagdating ng lamay: iyakan, kalungkutan at pagdadalamhati.
Conventional ito o tradisyon dito sa atin. Isama mo na rin ang mga scenario na kadalasang nangyayari sa isang lamayan:
May saklaan o sugalan – “tong –its” at pusoy sa matatanda, unggoy – ungguyan naman sa mga bata, may majhong, bingo at iba pang larong perahan. Siyempre nasa gitna ng mesa ang “Tong”, ito yata yung pampalubag loob o balato ng mga nanalo sa pamilya ng namatayan. Bayad na rin siguro sa candy, kape at biskwet na iniaabot sa mga sugarol habang nagsusugal sila.
Kape’t Biskwet – sino nga bang hindi nakatikim nito sa lamay. Pampagising daw sa iba para di antukin, pero sa iba hapunan ‘to…hehehe. Kadalasan ito rin ang bitbit na mga kakilala bilang donasyon, kaya nga nauso sa mga supermarket ang lata o container ng mga biskwet e para marami. Yung kape naman medyo mahal yun kadalasan pamilya talaga ang nagpro – provide.
Actually, marami pang iba: mga kasabihan, mga bawal at kung ano –ano pa, pero ayokong maging tutok nang blog na ‘to ang tradisyonal na lamay kasi nga naman nababasa naman sa title kung ano talaga ang topic ko, Unconventional o kakaiba sa ordinaryo.
Marami ng nagbago, kumbaga lahat ng hindi uso, baduy !Pero hindi ko akalain na pati sa lamay o funeral may changes na rin. Nakiramay kasi ako sa kaibigan ko dahil pumanaw na yung mama niya last week. Maraming tao ang dumating, marami ang nakiramay at nagbigay suporta sa pamilya. Dito ko nakita ang tunay sa pagsunod sa kagustuhan ng namatay. Dahil sa kagustuhan ng pamilya na sundin ang huling habilin, sinunod nga nila ang request ni Tita, gusto niya purple ang motif ng kanyang lamay. So everything has shades of violet, favorite color kasi ni tita ang purple.
May videoke machine – totoo nga kasi ang bilin ni tita ayaw niya ng malungkot sa lamay niya, gusto niya masaya so nagkaroon nga ng videoke machine at nagkantahan ang mga lasing, kasama ako!...hehehe. Aside from the two, na purple motif and videoke machine sinunod rin ng pamilya ang iba pang habilin, di ko na nga lang babanggitin.
During lamay naka – kwentuhan ko ang ilang mga kasamahan sa simbahan, mga brothers at student friars. Nakakatawa pero ang napag – usapan e yung mga gusto mangyari ng mga bros. pagnamatay sila. Kakaiba nga talaga, swear…
Isa sa kanila ang nagsabi na dahil favorite color niya rin ang purple, ang gusto niya purple color ang kabaong niya, as in color customization ito. Gusto niya pa nga sanang hingin yung sandals na nakalagay sa loob ng kabaong ni tita e para daw madagdagan ang collection niya ng purple na mga bagay sa loob ng kwarto niya. Ito pa, ayaw niya ng may bulalak o ung tinatawag na mga korona ng patay na nakapalibot sa kabaong niya, ang gusto niya water fountain in different sizes and heights…ang galing diba?!. Meron rin daw dapat mga floating scented candles na nakasindi sa tubig. Isang araw o gabi lang siya ilalamay kinabukasan libing na, sayang kasi sa tubig e pag masyado matagal, conserve water dapat. Ang nakakatawa sa lahat ng gusto niya, dapat daw naka – side view ang mukha niya ayaw niya ng regular na nakahiga lang….LOLz. O anong masasabi mo?
Ito naman ang hirit ng isang bro. gusto niya ang setting ng kanyang burol, malapit sa dagat…wow medyo okey ito. Kaso lang biglang may kasunod na hirit, dapat daw may mga sirena at siyokoy sa paligid…waah idol niya si Dyesebel. At ang huli niyang kagustuhan na nagpahalakhak sa akin ay ayaw niyang sa kabaong siya nakalagay, dahil gusto niya ay sa loob ng bukas na clam shell…wahahaha! Ang saya nasa loob siya tapos ung posing niya dun parang sirenang – sirena rin. *rolling on the floor laughing*
haah...Kayo baka may request din kayo? Ang sabi kasi nila mas maganda daw kung pinaghahandaan ang kamatayan para mas matagal daw kunin ni Papa Jesus. Natatawa man akong e – picture out yung mga gusto ng dalawang bro. na ito, pero mukha silang seryoso…hihihi.
“Your wish is my command” nga e, siyempre for the last time mo na lang makikita sa lupa ang taong namatay na kakilala mo, hindi mo pa ba siya pagbibigyan?. Gusto rin naman natin kahit papaano maging masaya sila kung nasaan man sila naroroon. Mamaya multohin pa tayo pag di natin pinagbigyan(katakot!). Pero ang higit na mahalaga ay yung iniwan ng tao na legacy and memories sa mga naulila niya pati na rin sa lahat ng mga taong nakakakilala sa kanya. Memories can live forever kahit wala na ang isang tao. Kaya dapat e - cherish natin yun.
