Day 2: May 9, 2020

May 9, 2020

What's the point in dreams and nightmares if they are never going to happen? I mean, we all wake up and then, absolutely nothing happens. It doesn't even affect our day, and half of the time, we just forget them and move on with our lives. So, what's the real significance?

I asked this question to myself right now, at 10 p.m. since I have zero recollection of what I dreamed about last night. I mean, I can't even remember if it was a nightmare. I guess this question will continue to haunt me since there is now real answer.

It all started today morning, at 8:30, when my phone started ringing that loud, scratching crystal sound that almost blew off my ears. Oh, that most definitely is the worst sound in the whole world. I mean, why do people make alarm clocks? What's the use if people disgrace it so much?

I wasn't in the mood today. But I mean, when am I in the right mood in the mornings. I answered the call as my head hit the pillow automatically. And then, I groaned, my usual ugly groan. My head throbbed dizzily as I heard his voice say his normal hello.

But his voice today is drowned out by my tired groans. And once again I think to myself, "I'm going to ask him if I could sleep until 9."

So naturally my desire for sleep is given, and he agrees, but I can hear the worry in his voice. He always wants me to get enough sleep and waking me up, I guess, makes him a tad worried about me.

I fall back into my peaceful, dreamless sleep; I guess since that's all I remember. About forty minutes later, my cold, freezing hands are reaching for my vibrating phone with a hurry. I don't like to keep people waiting. Loyalty? I mean, I guess...

My experience with quarantine mainly focuses on my sleep schedule. We decided to do this deal since it would benefit my health and allow me to learn a good routine before college or even sophomore year. "The struggle is real." That's what I feel like in the mornings, but everyone has to go through those emotions with purpose and motivation.

I learned that when you have a hobby or something/someone you love, it's easier to get out of bed because you are determined and ready.

My new hobby that I started weeks ago is writing, and you know what, I love it so much that I am waking up with much more ease, which is very peaceful.

We stayed on the facetime call for two hours the whole morning. I mean, he was just playing Minecraft, Skyblock, or whatever you call it. I prefer to avoid the question of what he's doing. As I said before, it's kind of obvious.

I also made an omelette, today, and it was pretty successful. I mean, it doesn't really look like a normal omelette, but it tastes like it. And I learned from this experience that it is the thought that counts.

He laughed and again was supportive of my omelette, which I was thankful for. I mean, I tried my best, and my goal after quarantine is to make the omelette in the whole world. So maybe I can make one for him, and he would be reluctant to eat it. I think that single thing would make my day.

Today consisted of math, history, English, and chorus homework that needed to be done and worked on with precision. I mean, the work is manageable, and I think I am doing well under these circumstances. I am currently balancing school work, working out, writing, and facetime; naka my favorite time of the day because he always finds a way to make me laugh.

But you know what, I like having things to do during the day. It helps me learn to focus even more and accomplish things, making myself feel splendid about it.

So my advice is that all these things, including homework, actually brings about happiness that is not seen or expressed until the end. Feeling like you finished something might as well be the best feeling in the whole wide world. So cherish it with all your heart because all these things that need to be done is not to bring stress, it's to bring that single feeling soaring into your body.

And then, I was on facetime again, which is pretty darn fun. He constantly talks about video games to me like I am professional, which I might be: you never know. So to make him pleased, I nod my head and I make some useful/irrelevant side comments.

That's basically what I do every morning since when he calls me I can always hear him playing video games and clicking his headphones on over his other wireless ones. The wireless ones are connected to our facetime.

Anyways, after our call, I worked on the final touches for the second chapter of The Daydreamers. So feel free to check it out since it is published and out!

I have always been a movie person. I mean, of course, for some movies, I prefer the books more. However, I love watching movies. So might say that you can see my eyes light up while watching it.

So tonight, I decided to watch Taken, which was a very inspiring movie that shows you what the real world is really like. I learned that even though the world looks beautiful with gorgeous, breathtaking views, there are some bad things that happen in this world that are inevitable to society. Things that we need to watch out for to protect ourselves and stay alive.

This movie is by far my favorite movie yet. Because it tells the truth. And you know what, that's what matters most about life.

I learned that the truth is not always pretty. But knowing it is always for your own benefit and will end out helping you in the future: sooner or later. This is what makes all of us stronger: truth of mistakes. So we will never make the same mistake ever again.

After the movie, he and I facetimed again. You might be thinking, "Wow, she facetimes a lot. How does she even have time to do this?"

Well, I make it work because he is my favorite person, and honestly, it's really fun to do. He laughed and joked around as if we were still in school.

I guess, facetime is the new normal for social life, and I don't think it's bad at all. It's actually pretty exciting if you think about it. I mean, it brings both of us a lot of happiness.

I feel like hope is really essential in hard situations like this, and positivity while helping others makes a big difference. So my advice is to think about others in times like these because we can go through this virus together. I believe in that strongly.

So going back, he and I are facetiming, and we talk about some things like the usual video games. And he has a very adorable, cute cat named Spike.

Therefore, I ask him to show me Spike with eagerness in my voice. He eventually agrees and goes downstairs. He picked up Spike while I took photos since Spike is so fluffy and enchanting.

And then, very evilly, he shines a bright light, almost like the sun, but that also blinks constantly. It makes my eyes spin, but he's just joking around. It's kind of funny actually.

We talk some more before we say our goodnights. To be honest, it was a perfect day. The weather was as if the sun was hiding behind the clouds just like yesterday.

So everything is going great. I am excited to find out what happens tomorrow.

~Sometimes, when you think a day is not going to be the best, it turns out to become the best day of your life.~
