sleep. oh sleep. ooooh sleeep.

there are chickens cockadoodling in our backyard. what the...?


ANYWAY.
my ate z and her husband are currently in boracay for a wedding. ate erika and i are therefore the dakilang yayas in charge of their two little skinny dippers....

yeah. it's too hot to even wear tiny pompie protectors.

they've been enjoying the freedom, i think. or raphael, at least. he's the older one. and he certainly knows how to abuse the minor authority. for example, he refused to get in bed at his usual hour last night. he was giving me the hardest time. first, he wanted to wear shorts. when i changed him to shorts, he wanted to wear his pajamas again. pfft. he wanted to watch tv before sleeping. when i firmly said no, he tried to threaten me...

raph: sige! i'm going to... i'm going to... (pause).... sige!

HEHEHE. evil grin.
after a while, he asked for cold milk. so i went down to get him milk. when i got up, he said he wanted it warm. so i went down to warm it up. when i got up, he said it wasn't warm enough. so i went down to warm it some more. when i got up the third time, he said it wasn't his bottle and he couldn't drink it if it's not his bottle. so i changed the bottle. finally... when he accepted it, he started to drink it, then he stopped. "i want it cold, tita mic..." auuuugh! the boy is just too manipulative. AT THREE YEARS OLD! and that's not it, ha?

me: time to sleep raph... come on.
raphael: NOOO. my mom's supposed to sleep beside matt (the 1 yr old)!
me: your mom told me to sleep here 'til they get back.
raphael: but tita mic... i don't like it when my titas sleep in the room when matt and i sleep.
me: talaga? matt doesn't seem to mind...
raphael: NOOO... you cannot sleep here.
me: hmmm. well, i promised your mom that i'd sleep beside matt while she's gone. maybe matt and i will sleep in my room nalang... since you don't like me sleeping here in your room... (evil smirk)
raphael: (long thinking pause) i won't sleep nalang. you and matt can sleep here. but i won't sleep, ha? i don't like sleeping when you're sleeping here too. okay? okay?

mmm hmmm... talk about smooth. i swear. he is SUCH a palusot king. it's unbelievable.
after fighting for two long hours, he dozed off to dreamland. wehehehe. matthew, on the other hand, kept waking up every other hour. it seemed like he was having a bad dream cuz he'd wake up crying and calling out either "maaaa..." or "miiiic..." i couldn't really tell.

needless to say... my head is hurting due to lack of sleep last night. augh. i hate this feeling. it's like i want to puke and my body's really weak and i feel like total crap. hmmm.


on the other side of things...
we had our last formal classroom session yesterday for the basic program. from now til june, it's all consultations with direk abaya and production for our final project. i'm not sure if i should rejoice or not... because like what she said, the real work starts here and now. so far, there are at least three projects lined up. yeheeeey.

i wonder tho if i'll be able to have a real break. not that i want or need one, really. i guess i just want to be able to see my friends for a change. didn't get to see much of them since school started. thank god for their understanding.


crap.
sleeeeeep. i need sleeep.
