I was sort of in a trance this morning.
Early in the morning, our yaya wakes us up to get ready for school. I am the one she usually wakes first because among us three (Me, Yong and Yeng), I am the least easy to awaken. Add to it the fact that I am the slowest person in our house during this time of the day.
So this morning I can remember that she was trying to wake me up.
Yaya:
Eian, gising na! *This is accompanied with vigorous wobbling actions on my shoulders"Eian: ..........
Yaya:
Hoy! Anu ba! Gising na! *She was still shaking my shoulders"Subconscious voice:
*talking to Eian* Do not wake-up just yet. Continue sleeping. You need that. Eian:
*to subconsious voice* No! I might get late for school. Subconscious voice: Sleep. Just sleep. Do not worry about anything. Your body needs it.
Eian:
Zzzzzzz.... *Such an obedient boy!*Yaya:
*Agitated* Hay nako! Bumaba ka na dun ah, malalate ka na.After some moments of solitude, my Mom then tried her luck on waking me up. I was still on my state of trance.
Mommy:
*With her gentle voice* Yang, wake up na.Eian:
*Obtunded* Hmmmm.. Subconscious voice:
Continue sleeping.
Mommy:
What time is your class?Subconscious voice:
Do not worry about your class, remember sleep is more important.Eian:
*Still obtunded* Opo..Mommy:
I shall go. Wake up na, Ok? Eian:
Zzzzzz....After some more moments of solitude, it was my Dad's turn to awaken me.
Daddy:
Eian, wake-up, wake-up!Eian: *
Opens eyes then closes it back*Daddy:
Hoy! Anung oras ka papasok? Anong oras ba klase mo?Eian:
*Opens eyes then closes it back again*Daddy:
Anu ba yan?!? Alas-7 pasok mo diba? Alas-8 na ah! Bangon na dyan!Subconscious voice:
Do not worry about your duty anymore. It has been taken care off.Eian:
Opo... Later... Zzzzzzzz.... *Nice answer huh!*After a lot of momentssssss of solitude, Eian tried to wake Eian up *Waaahh! Schizo!*
Eian:
*Opens eyes then looks at clock* Waaaahhh!!! 12 na! Waaahhh! Late na ako! Sheet! Absent na pala ako sa OR! Waaaahhh! Sheet malalate na ako sa N123 namin! We have a report today! Noooo!!! *Eian is now fully awake*I was really panicking because it was already 12 in the afternoon, I had a class at 1pm and I had not taken a bath yet. I was outraged because we have a report for that class and I cannot afford to get late. But I was still after all in Paranaque, it would be a miracle if I would arrive in school on time. Waaahhhh!
So, I got my phone to inform my groupmates that I might be late for our report. When I looked at my phone it indicated that I had 5 new messages. When I opened it, it was from my groupmates. I was alarmed because, I knew that they were looking for me.
1st Message:
San duty natin?2nd Message:
San ka na?3rd Message:
Eian, san ka na?4th Message:
Eian, di ka ba papasok?5th Message:
To All UPM Students: From Chancellor: Classes at all levels suspended today in view of the transport strike. For your info and guidance. Please pass. Thanks. JRRG.
The fifth message was from our group leader. I did not know and did not care who JRRG was. All I knew was that, the timing was so perfect!
It was a good thing that I was
a lazy an obedient boy. Else, I would have wasted my time going on duty when the classes were in fact suspended. Worse, I would have been stranded on the road because of the lack of public transportation vehicles.
In fairness to that subconsious voice in my head, he was telling the truth. And he cared about my welfare! Hahahah! Such great rationale this is! Hahaha!
I just realized, maybe JRRG is the subconscious voice in my head.... Hmmmm...
