Staying up til 5 am does things to your brain. You feel hyper and sluggish at the same time it's disconcerting. I feel like I wanna sarcastically break out into song here at the office. But Tanya's currently doing that. She's singing a deliberately off-key version of "I Could Not Ask for More" and making ewoks/mojacko-like sounds in between lines. I could imagine how liberating it must be. But I restrain myself lest we all look like nakabatak kami. Balbie implores wag ko na daw sabayan. Isa-isa lang.

Hay, kakaloka tong araw na to. I need a puff, i think. Just to steady my nerves.
