Last year my dad had informed me he will be getting married in Tacloban the place his wife grew up in the Philippines . My dad said he would like all of his family members to attend since they couldn't go to the one in the United States. Carmina booked her flight during Philippine Airlines ’ year-end sale at the start of 2026. I told my dad about my travel plans for a short trip from Friday, April 17 to Sunday, April 19. My cousins also asked for my flight details so they could book the same flight. My dad said he will book my room for me sharing with two family members at Summit Hotel in Tacloban . Sending me the confirmation booking information for my reference. As the months went by, before I knew it, the big day had finally arrived—a rare event that doesn’t happen too often. Everything had been carefully planned by my dad and his wife, Tita Cielo. When we arrived, the check-in time was 2 PM, but there was a mix-up with the rooms. Some were ready for check-in, but the one...
A week ago I have been
having a hard time sleeping and I notice my pattern of my sleeping changing I
would sleep at 2:00 AM wake up after one hour sleep or two end up turning on my
internet and see who was online to chat with my California friends back home.
I felt someone was
thinking of me because I seemed to be restless and my eyes we’re tired but for
some reason I couldn’t shut my eyes to sleep.
There is a saying here
in the Philippines when you have a child and they will be separated from you
they ask you not to think of them.
I remembered a long time
ago my in-law had visited a relative who had a baby living aboard. The baby
couldn’t sleep on its sleeping pattern because someone was thinking of him and
it had affected the baby. The baby kept crying and no matter if you’ve given
them their milk or change their diaper nothing seems to help them.
The parent had to call
up their in-law to stop thinking of the baby and all a sudden after that calls
the baby was able to sleep normal all over again.
You are an adult you
don’t know who is thinking of you not making you sleep.
After talking to my
friends they are also having the same problem their sleeping pattern has
changed because their life style has changed and no matter you make yourself
active in your home you still can’t find a way to put yourself to sleep.
Sometimes it is just in
our minds that make us feel this way and when we feel we have nothing to do the
next day we end up delaying our sleeping pattern it changes our life and the
time we eat our meals.
I am not sure if anyone
is like me I no longer have the appetite like how you normally eat just that
the time pattern of your meals have changed but as well your diet as changed as
well.
You no longer feel you
want to eat you crave for food but when it arrives you don’t feel like eating
it at all.
I have friends showing
me what meals they eat every time we talk every day sometimes you see their
food looks better than yours and you feel like you wish you can enter
their home just like magic.
