I have had about 8 hours of sleep but I am still sleepy.

My yaya was trying to wake me up to eat lunch just awhile ago, and I was having a difficult time opening my droopy eyelids. It was as if I had barely an hour of sleep but in fact I had 8 solid hours of sleep already!

My gawd! My body is indeed on its vacation mode. This means that for my body to function optimally, it has to receive at least 12 hours of sleep! So nice huh!

****************

And Yes!

I am a sloth. And I am the best sloth in bed.

*Yuck! Corny... I don't think it is too coherent...*

My Mom wants me to accompany her to Ayala today. I guess, she is about to do her last minute christmas shopping there.

Hmmmmm..... Should I accept her "invitation"?

I feel too lazy to leave our house at the moment... I just want to lay about and watch TV all day...
 
Truly a sloth huh?

But... but.... but....

I want to eat too! I mean, I want to eat food bought from a restaurant or a fast food joint.

Still an exhibition of my "slothiness"...

Waaaahhhh!!!!

It is so hard to choose! It is really hard to decide which one takes precedence over the other when food and sleep are the ones being compared! Add to it the fact that they are both physiological needs!

Waaaaahhhh!!!!

I want to sleep... but.... I want to eat as well...

Sleep... Eat... Sleeeeeepppp.... Eeeaaaaattttt...... Sleeeeeeeeeeppppppppp.... Eeeeeaaaaatttttt.....

We went to Ayala Makati this day. It is the usual Sunday place for our family. Eventhough, there was a bomb explosion (Yes! It was a bomb. Don't get fooled by the methane gas leak cover up.) we still come and visit this place. We have been accustomed to the place already so it is very comfortable for us to move about on that area.

Add to it the fact that there is a Dairy Queen stand at Glorietta! The reason for coming back in spite the bomb threat is such a no brainer! Haha! If I may add, I ate a brownie temptation blizzard about 3 hours ago! My gawd! The sensation on the taste buds is priceless!

I think my Mom got irritated on me earlier. Because I told her this, "Anu ba yan, Ma? It's almost the end of November but then we still don't have a Christmas tree in our house!"

She replied with glaring eyes, "Don't you realize how busy I am at the office these past few weeks?!?!"

So there I was, speechless.

No matter what happens, I always lose my ability to reason out when I see the angry look upon my Mom's face. In short, tiklop ako, as always. Haha!

But I guess my Mom took my comment very seriously. After lunch, she immediately went to go look for christmas decorations. I was surprised because I thought she had no plans on doing so. What's even more surprising was that she was buying a totally new set of christmas decorations! As in! Even the christmas tree and all that comes with it!

I thought to myself: "Ibang klase magalit ang nanay ko ngayon ah!"

So we went to The Landmark Department store, the former company she worked at. Plenty of Christmas trees flanked the store. There were plenty of people too so it was quite a busy place. She used her connections so that there'll be less hassle on picking the design which will be used to decorate the christmas tree. She bought an eight feet tall tree and had it designed by the in-house designer of the place.

In my mind: "Indeed my Mom is furious! Haha!"

In fairness to the designer, he is quite good upon his craft. The christmas tree looked great!

I was just happy because I did not have to go through the hustle bustle of the crowd for the first of the christmas shopping series, I presume, that we shall have this year.

Note: I don't buy anything during these shopping sessions. I just function as a compass that carries shopping bags.
