38 Hours Straight of Being Awake...

September 12, 2008 Friday

I woke up at 8 am. My husband was giving me an annoying dose of morning tickles. I was still so sleepy. "A nice cup of French vanilla instant cappuccino would work magic on me later," I thought.

While in the office, everyone was already bugging me about the night out which we've planned a few days before. We needed a space in a family KTV. We had two choices in our minds: MetroWalk in Ortigas and Jupiter St in Makati. We called some KTV Bars only to found out that most of them were already fully booked.

Up until the last hour of our shift, we still hadn't decided where to go. We decided to do a walk-in and maybe wait for our turn, instead.

End of shift... Finally, we all agreed to go to Jupiter St. But wait, who were coming? The initial expected number of participants was trimmed down from 15 to 8.

Music 21... We were in the 6th place in the waiting list. But then, Maica's PR really worked for us, we were suddenly accelerated to being 1st. ^.^ We entered Room 5 just a few minutes before midnight.

We had a feast. I'd never eaten midnight snacks that heavy. Then, the mini-concert started. I especially liked the microphone. It made me feel like a pro singer. I usually don't sing that much on videokes because I know I'm not gifted with a voice. But, boy, the mic worked magic. Hahaha!

We didn't even notice that our time was about to be finished and we were still having so much fun. So we decided to extend our time one more hour.

We went out of the bar a few minutes before 4 am. We decided to head to MCDonald's to enjoy a cup of coffee until the morn comes. Most of us were afraid to go home while it's still dark.

A nice cup of coffee (hot choco for Sher), and an interesting talk took only a few sips before we realized that the sun had already risen and it was time for us to part ways.

I reached home at 7:30am. I had a quick 10-minute nap at the bus and a 5-minute nap at the tricycle. When I reached home, I showed my husband some photos taken on the first night out I had without him since we were married. He was teasing me and I didn't know what other comments he remarked because I fell fast asleep. But then, he was really determined for us to go to my sister's condo unit in the morning because I had to escort my nephew and my niece to a birthday party at Vivere Suites in Alabang at 2:00pm.

I was close to deciding about backing out from the said event and even told my husband that he can go instead of me. I was so sleepy and groggy that when he lifted me from the sofa, I thought he was going to transfer me to our more comfortable bed. Instead, he brought me to our bedroom shower and I got so mad because he ran the shower on my fully clothed and half-awake body. That left me with no choice and so I had to take the shower and prepare myself because I had another engagement that day.

We arrived at my sister's condo unit at 10:30am. I was fully awake by then. The cold shower did wonders to keep me completely conscious. We hailed a taxi at 2:00pm to attend the Hawaiian-inspired party of the A-Listers.

The party started at 4:30pm. Huhuhu! But I got so fascinated with the beautiful kids around and some mothers who tried to make friends with me so I was able to maintain an alert state of mind.

There were a lot of activities for the kids; that's why the party lasted for 4 hours. We headed home at 8:30pm. We got to the condo at 9:15pm. Mhark and I got home at 9:45pm. After washing my face and doing my nightly regimen, I put on my eye cover and went straight to Slumber Street at around 10:00pm. ^.^

I woke up at 11:30 am. Good thing it was Sunday so it was okay to oversleep. ^.^
