That is a word in my dialect which means celebrating a death anniversary. I don’t know if other countries do celebrate death, but as weird as it may seem, here in the Philippines, we do.

So our neighbor invited us on this occasion. I just went into their house and eat, while my Mom plans on staying to play “tong its.”

While we were eating, I asked my Mom “Why didn’t you wake me up to bring Hannah to her swimming lesson yesterday?” My Mom replied, “I did wake you up. You answered me that you don’t want to go, so we just cancelled.” I was shocked, because I didn’t remember that. I guess it was one of those times like when you alarmed your clock in the morning then when it alarms, you shut it down then sleep for 5 minutes more or so you think you would, then as you get the habbit of shutting it down, you unconciously shut it down every morning then you will wake up late. I often experience this, that is why I don’t trust alarm clocks or anything that is alike. I let a person wake me up on the time I needed to be awaken, but as obvious, sometimes I just can’t get enough of sleeping. My Mom didn’t force me to wake up and drive them, because she knows that during the weekdays, I rarely get a sleep. I think I don’t sleep during the weekdays, I just nap. Too much napping could make you unconcious of your actions, like what I have done. This might be the reason why we need sleep. The brain does not function well without it.

However, I am scared that maybe one day I would wake up not knowing I have argued with a person while I was asleep. My Mom confirmed that my eyes are wide open and it seemed like I as really awake. Geeez … I’m like a zombie.
