Monotonous Life | 03 (Morning Zombie)

I'm glad I woke up early today so I was able to attend the 6 am mass. Not a morning person, In fact I really hate it. But before I do waking  up early coz I have to prepare myself and go early to school/work. Since today, I have nothing to do so-productive so I have more time lying in my bed. But today was a different day. 4;30 in the morning woke up quite unintentionally; I assumed I could go back to sleep, but sleep alluded me. I didn’t feel overly tired, so I finally got up around 5am and decided to drag myself out of bed and drink a plenty of water to flushing out the toxin in my body before I take my coffee. And the sun started coming out.  I prepared myself and get ready to Go to the church. I decided to come with my mother since I have nothing to do so important for the rest of the day. I have something to pray to the Lord. To help me declutter the unwanted thoughts in my head. I felt so relieved after the mass. Such a great feeling to tell everything to God. nakakagaan ng pakiramdam grabe! magbabagong taon na, kailangan na naten bitawan ang mabibigat na pakiramdam. It's been a while since I speak to God about what I truly feel. at hindi ako nabigo. Thank you lord! hmm..., Did I manage to get up early today? Nope. I’m still a work-in-progress.

Meanwhile, the mass topic was about addiction, yeah' we have our own addiction in our own little way.. not only in drugs. But also in different things in life. In watching television, movie series, cellphones and computers, social media, fast foods etc. buti nalang walang tokhang sa ganung addiction. haha! getting high on things other than drugs and alcohol is a kind of common behaviors of people that is hardly unbreakable. yea' coz some of it are already part of our living. It is also the main reasons why some people are not going to church. I admit I'm one of them,. kakapuyat ko sa mga kinaa-adikan kong series, nalilimutan ko gumising ng maaga para magsimba. But for those who's also into this kind of addiction, kahit ano pang addiction yan.. all we have to do is rely on God. Believe and repent as Jesus says .. John 14:6 "I am the way, the Truth and the Life" He will never ever neglect us. Para talaga saken yung topic sa misa eh, seems like a wake up call!

I Believe by Jimmy Bondoc

Baket ba? Ang ganda kaya nung kanta nung trinan-slate sa tagalog! haha I remember one night I was browsing for a Rom-Com movie to watch. I saw the MY SASSY GIRL movie. Yeah' old but good.. staring Gianna Jun or Jun ji hyun is a Korean actress sya yung nasa movie na The Last Blood (hollywood release) Steffi Cheon and yung nasa Legend Of the Blue Sea with Lee Min Ho and.. I forgot the name of the guy basta Yuan ang name nya sa movie. haha! Not a K-Pop faney but I really love this movie ang kyut ng story tapos naging faney nadin ako ng girl na to'.. It was released back in 2001. A college student and becomes involved in a self-centered young women who humiliates him in every turn.

 I'd watched it many times na before. then pinalabas na din sa QTV or channel 11. But when I saw it while I was browsing, I got a sudden urge to watch it again and got the same reaction. 

Spoiler Alert: It was a real love story of the 2 korean lovers who promised to see each other after 2years and read their letters together in the "time capsule" buried under the tree on the mountain-top and they go their separate ways for good. But the girl doesn't show up after 2years. so he decided to write their story and publish into the interwebs. Tapos naging movie. pero Happy Ending naman sila in the end.

Trivia: walang name si girl dun as in, throughout the movie. hahah! tapos yung guy was a cousin of the deceased boyfriend of the young women. And those gif/photos I listed are my fave part. <3

Okay enough na bago ko pa ilahad yung buong movie. haha!

Thingking

If how do I train myself to waking up early and have a morning work out ritual as well? or just simply moving my body to burn some belly fats. yikes! butete tyan na'ko ghaaaaaddddd! I want to switch to "no caffeine in the morning" but seriously it's not easy, so really hard to do. nyeam! hmmm,  Spirit of kasipagan. be with me! Haha

For some mysterious reason, waking up early is one of the hardest habits to cultivate. Right? I know, I know - We're all struggling to this! tulog iz life! 5 more minutes please!. I’ve had a lifelong struggle with waking up in the morning. No matter how much sleep I got at night, getting up for school / work was always torture. As soon as I learned my ABCs, I was pleading for “five more minutes.” kulang na nga lang ibato ko yung alarm. pero dahil cellphone yun, hindi maaari. Sleep experts recommend that you immediately make your bed after waking up in order to discourage climbing back in. That has never worked for me, even when I make the bed, I’ll still crawl back it. hinahanap hanap talaga ng likod ko! haha! I also did setting up my alarm in different time kaso wala eh ino-off kolang jusko! I woke up in terror and shut it off and went back to sleep.It's not necessarily laziness that makes people hit the "snooze" button in the morning. Most likely, your body clock is mismatched with the demands of your life. nakahanap pa ng dahilan ey!

Things got worse as I got older. as in, I got into the habit of sleep procrastination–staying up late, reading, watching movies, series, writing in my journal–just to avoid going to bed and by logic, waking up the next day. Every morning, my mother had to shout at me my kasamang hampas pa yun! tapos threat na bubuhusan ka ng mainit na tubig pag hindi ka bumangon! haha I had 15 minutes to get dressed and be out the door but it was always worth it to get those extra five minutes of sleep. At least I thought it was. haha! “Just get out of bed, and drink some coffee!” People say. It’s easier said than done, especially if you’ve ever fallen asleep while brushing your teeth. 

I think every person should spend atleast 15minutes a day focusing on their own personal development. Isn't it a no brainer? Why would you ever want to sleep walk through life and ignore your self? If we all spent time each day learning and practicing how to become a better, more integrated and whole human being; the world would be a better place. But that's thinking too big, lets just focus on ourselves. Give ourselves that time in the morning and start living on purpose!

Ps:

To my fellow morning zombies lets us get up early to bed and change for the better! Goodluck mga chongkiz! choz!
