thinking at 5am

7 Jul

5am. The normal people are just waking up. I can hear the clang of the dishes and pans, the dog barking, the lone rooster crowing…and the swish of my neighbor’s broom outside.

Ah. Normal people. It’s been a while since I’ve considered myself a normal person. I work the graveyard shift, been doing it for almost 2  years  now. So when most people are about to start their day, I am about to end mine.

I spend most of the day sound asleep, waking up only when really necessary. My days start when the sun’s no longer out, when most people are just about to have their last meal of the day.

If it’s my rest day I would wake up around 10 pm, or if I’m really tired, around 11 or 12 midnight. It’s almost like your normal schedule but on a different time line. (more…)

Off to Binondo

1 Jul

It’s Thursday today which mean I don’t have to show up for work later… yay!

But what I’m really looking forward to is the Binondo food tour that we drummed up just…uh… 2 days ago. ;-)

Siomai, fried siopao, dumplings, and peking duck… here I come!

A Third Filipino Journalist Is Killed. That makes him the 107th journalist killed during GMA’s term. Not sure what happened, but I saw the blue screen of death while trying to run php using xampp on my machine and read the article at the same time.
