Awake

Alra

Time check - 1:11 am

I pause my binge-watching session to check my messenger notif.

Himala may nagchat sa gc namin ah, at this hour? it isn't that late anyways pero usually iilan na lang kaming gising eh, well this gc was created because kaming tatlo na lang lagi ang online tuwing dis oras na ng gabi err umaga uhh scratch that, mornight 

atleast that used to be the case,

ngayon kasi napapansin ko ako na lang yung laging gising, I mean good for the folks din kasi they're catching up on sleep lalo na yung isa na parang may pagka insomniac dati 

I don't really mind; I have loads of series as company, what more could a girl ask for? Hahaha kaya nga rin siguro unti-unti na akong nagmumukhang panda eh

the bags under my eyes are gucci and I couldnt care any less. 

Sleep is for the weak!!! 

I click the chat head

wala.

Hmm weird, but meh ano pa nga ba, this app has been crashing a lot lately. Ic-close  ko na sana to continue my disrupted watching kaso nag-lag nanaman, siiiggghhh wow this is annoying!

Tinaas ko ang paningin ko only to see this guy in front of me,  stranger*

he was wearing a gray shirt and a red hoodie,
tall; sort of skinny

and,
he was staring blankly at me ??

wait is that right? 

Parang ang awkward naman yatang biglang mag-approach so I just stared back. 

I blinked, and when I opened my eyes again

g i s i n g
n a
a k o. 

I am back underneath my sheets, nakahiga sa kama at nakatingin sa kisame. I look at the time and it's around 4 in the morning.

What was that?

---

Natapos agad yung araw, nothing eventful happened like usual. Parang ang most out of the ordinary na nangyare lang ata today was that dream, although normal lang naman talaga since wala namang weird dun or anything

but

I dont know, for some reason

it felt real

so real. surreal? haha char

Parang pakiramdam ko totoong tao siya, when he stared at me it was like he was staring kasi nagwowonder din siya kung sino ako at bakit siya nandun.

Kinwento ko pa nga yung dream ko sa kaklase ko, but nung tinanong ako kung ano ang itsura ng guy I couldn't describe him kahit namemorize ko na yung mukha niya sa tagal ba naman ng staring contest namin.

aaaaahh I dont know i'm tired,

humiga ako sa kama at pinikit ang mga mata - pagdilat ko siya nanaman ang kaharap ko.

This time I was aware I was dreaming pero di pa ako nagigising - i'm still in the dream world! 

"Are you real?" 

tanong ko sa kaniya, he didn't respond to my question but we started talking. 

I woke up.

This happened once, twice, until naging routine na siya.
