I couldn't fucking sleep.

I'm way too excited for tomorrow. Ilang beses na akong paikot-ikot sa kama ko pero parang hindi ko mahanap ang tamang posisyon sa pagtulog. I tried Ridge's method and it didn't work tonight.

Ridge, that guy. He's been on my mind for days! I don't know what it is about him that I really like, maybe because he has the same interests as me? Or maybe because he’s very smart, he has a lot to say. I love his wisdom in things. Not to mention, he's very good at cooking and also good at sports. I like him for his flaws and whatever makes him special.

He really gets me a lot, especially in thoughts. I connect with him in every way, I think that's it. Kahit sa parallel pa lang, I couldn't stop myself from replying. Minsan ako pa nagi-initiate ng chats, but I couldn't care less. I'm glad he admitted that he also likes talking to me, and I'm glad we're on the same page.

I looked at the clock 12 AM na pala, nagpaalam na ako kay Ridge na matutulog na pero heto ako, dilat na dilat pa rin ang mata. I wonder if he's still online, I opened my phone again to check.

Nagulat ako nang makita na online pa siya! I was about to type in a message when my phone beeped for a notification from him.

Ridge: can't sleep?

Me: yeah

Ridge: me too hahaha

Me: what should we do then?

Ridge: try to sleep? HAHAHA

Me: i've been trying that for the past 2hrs and here i am, awake as freakin daylight

Ridge: hmm too excited for our date?

Me: you wish!

Ridge: don't worry, we're mutual ;)

Me: blah blah good night

Nagpaalam na ako agad bago pa tuluyang humaba ang usapan namin. Magkaka-eyebags ako dahil sa ginagawa ko. Lord, ano ba 'to? Can this be love I'm feeling right now? Joke. I laughed at my own thoughts. Gosh, Moni calm yourself down! It's just Ridge!

Nang gumising ako sa umaga, tirik na tirik na ang araw. Napabalikwas ako bigla sa higaan, baka mamaya hapon na pala at tulog-mantika pa rin ako. I think I slept at around 2 AM so I expected to wake up in the afternoon. It's not a surprise that I missed breakfast and lunch.

I looked at the alarm clock beside my bed, it's 1 PM already. Napabuntong-hininga ako, I still have two and a half hours to get ready with thirty minutes left to spare. 

Bumangon na ako sa kama at nagpasyang maligo, my parents are at Ninth Wave again. I guess for the final revisions of the project. They're used to me waking up late so I guess they didn't bother waking me up when they left.

I decided to take a shower first before eating small portions of the meal that's left in the fridge. We don't have yayas here so I do all the work.
