Tuesday:-

Tinamad na akong basahin dahil sa sobrang dami at sumakit agad ang ulo ko dahil Monday pa lang, puno na ang schedule ko. Hayss...

Siguro makikinig muna ako ng music para mawala ang stress ko from the past projects and shootings. It is currently 3:40 in the morning at bumabiyahe ako papunta.

I'm finding the song that makes me relax but at the same time alert and attentive for more tasks. At least malilibang naman ako sa ilang oras na ride na 'to.

Scrolling on Spotify...

We are never ever getting back together- Taylor Swift

Salt- Ava Max

I'm Not The Only One- Sam Smith

Lupang Hinirang- World Anthems Orchestra

Teka lang ba't may lupang hinirang dito? Patriotic ba ako? Trip ko lang? Lutang ba ako nung time na 'to?

Move on to the next songs...

My Universe- BTS x Coldplay

Illusionary Daytime- Shirfine

Willow- Taylor Swift

Hmm...I'll go with..Illusionary Daytime.

Madami kasing kanta dito sa Spotify ko at mahirap mamili eh, ok na ito para hindi na ako mag-spend ng isang oras kaka-scroll para makinig lang ng isang kanta katulad ng ginawa ko kahapon.

Pinidot ko na ang play button at nag-relax na ako sa aking comfortable foldable chair. Wala man lyrics ang Illusionary Daytime pero you can feel the emotions and efforts that poured in the music.

2 minutes later...

I started to be sleepy and I don't want to sleep especially there's another task for today but this music is inviting me to sleep. I can't resist the urge to sleep but I keep fighting it.

DO NOT SLEEP, XYLRIA. DON'T SLEEP.

I can't fight this anymore. I need to catch the flying moth of z's under my blinking light of rest. Good afternoon my tiredness.

I close my eyes and rest my body and go to sleep.

20 minutes later...

May narinig akong naguusap ng malakas and it annoys me so much, I'm gonna throw something on those people whose really so loud. Did they can't see me here resting? Did they need to sleep as well, maybe they can go to sleep for a minute or so...?

Nakakainis naman eh, napadilat na tuloy ako sa inis at medyo nagalit ako sa kanila. Kaya unintentionally ko silang nasigawan

"Please! I don't have enough rest, can you please be all quiet!" Medyo naiinis kong sinta sa kanila. Dala na rin ng limang araw ng puyat, naapektuhan na ang mood swings ko ngayon

Natahimik naman sila, I finally can sleep in peace, ipinikit ko ulit ang akin mga mata at inerelax ko ulit ang katawan ko and I sleep again in my sleeping position kanina, fetus position.

Napadilat ako mula sa pagkakagising at nakita ko na nasa ibang lugar na ako, wait lang, nasaan ako? Nasa van lang ako kanina at natutulog. Bakit nasa garden ako and it's already morning?! Teka! Madaling araw pa lang kanina, ah?

In-observe ko ang paligid ko, familiar 'tong garden na 'to, hindi ko nga lang alam kung anong tawag sa garden na 'to, wait....panaginip lang kaya 'to? Nalilito na kasi ako kung bakit ako nasa garden kahit nasa loob ako ng van, imposible naman na hindi ako magising kung may bumuhat sa'kin kanina.

Biglang umulan ngayon which doesn't make any sense at all dahil kani-kanila lang ay umaaraw, how it is raining? Wala namang sinabi sa news na uulan ngayong araw. I can assure na nasa panaginip nga ako.

"Ok ka lang ba? Hindi ka naman I hope na hindi ka magkasakit, here let me dry you up." Halatang nag-aalala 'yung nagtatanong sa'kin, panglalaki 'yung boses na naririnig ko. I can't see his face, natatakpan ng maliwanag na ilaw

"Well, who are you again and why are you so concerned about me? Are you a stalker?" Nakaramdam ako ng kaba kaya kung ano-ano na ang mga tinatanong ko sa kanya. He just giggled, which made me really annoyed at him.

"Bigla ka yata nagkaroon ng amnesia? I am your boyfriend, remember?" That is the name of this person, got it. I looked him up and down but to my surprise, hindi ko pa rin makita ang mukha n'ya, the hell?

Just when I am going to touch his face, a powerful force sucked me like I am inside of a vacuum and woke up catching my breath. Napatingin ako sa paligid ko, nakatingin 'yung mga staffs and mga friends ko, nakakahiya!

"Ok ka lang, Xyl? You look so tired, kaya mo pa ba 'yung sched mo? Pwede ko naman bawasan." Miss A approached me with concerned look in her eyes. I shooked my head, I will not lose this opportunity even if the price is my health.

"I can do this, all I need is a power nap. You may go back to sleep or whatever you're doing, Miss A. Mas pagod ka pa kesa sa'kin." Miss A smiled at me and gently stroked my hair and go back on setting up my schedule for following days.

Gusto ko na lang talagang umuwi ng bahay at matulog maghapon, nakakapagod kasing puyat ka tapos kailangan mong sundin 'yung schedule. Masyado pa kaming malayo sa set namin, babalik na lang ulit ako sa pagtulog dahil ilang araw na akong puyat at walang maayos na tulog.
