DST

Na-Twilight Zone ako kaninang umaga.

I woke up at 8am, my whole body rested and completely ready to tackle the day before me. My body clock was wired just so that I'd be able to move at a relaxed pace until I had to get ready for work (I'm substituting at the Summerhill office until they find someone to work full-time. It's extra income for me, plus the option to check out during the week).

After about 20 minutes of luxurious stretching and keeping toasty under the covers, I went to the kitchen to grab some breakfast. I did a double take when I saw the clock read 9:20. PANIC!!! It automatically hit me that DST must've taken effect the night before. It really pissed me off that I had to move in fast forward.

Instead of my original breakfast idea of sausage and eggs, I had to grab some cereal and soymilk. Not a bad option, truth be told, but I learned long ago that if you're craving for something, there's really nothing that can replace it. A quick fix just won't do.

While eating my cereal as fast as I could without choking, my uncle came into the kitchen and told me that he had to adjust the kitchen watches because we were already on DST. ARRGGGHHHH!!! My watch was right all along! I could've had my leisurely breakfast. Bad trip.

Buti na lang may bagong episode ng Desperate Housewives mamayang gabi. If I miss that, then I'll really be pissed... hehehe

So, to all my friends and relatives in the Philippines, you are now officially 13 hours ahead of the East Coast and 16 hours ahead of the West Coast. I believe it's going to be this way until around April.
