it's 12.34am and i just got home. my parents and i went to the wake of dr. doronila (in UP). i spent the last couple of hours just sitting there.. listening to my dad and his batchmates exchange crazy anecdotes. at times when i couldn't relate, i'd read "the sandman companion" lent to me by sam. at other times, i'd fiddle with my celphone (which, sadly, has not been receiving much text messages. *sigh*) oh.. and i happily listened to john lesaca play a couple of songs (i just loooooved his rendition of "looking through the eyes of love." really Ü) a good 3 1/2 hours at a wake. hmmm. not an ideal way to spend the time, especially if you're not talking to anybody.. and you don't really know the people around you. still, it was ok, i guess.. hehe. i wonder why it's called a "wake." is it because the people there stay awake? or maybe because the deceased is believed to wake into the afterlife? hmmm. i'm pretty sure i read an explanation somewhere, sometime.. but i forgot already. maybe i wasn't awake enough to remember it, hahahaha.
right now, i feel like time's stopped. it is as if right now, it's daytime. it's like night is a more appropriate time to go out and do stuff. i'm more awake now than i was this afternoon. i'm feeling calmer.. more in tune with myself at this moment than earlier today. hmmm. i've always preferred night to day.. but i don't know. somehow, i like it more at this particular time. go figure.
oh well. i'm kinda sleepy. too bad.. i won't get to enjoy the nighttime so much. but at least i'll have my dreams. hopefully they'll be good ones. hehe. i can't wait to go to dreamland again. ahhhh.. blessed sleep. hmmm. oftentimes, it's a lot better than being a wake.. :p
