Ramadan Hits

 An hour and a half past midnight. 

I know I should be sleeping. 

Just finished doing the laundry (the washing and the hanging), and the folding of all the laundered clothes. The next challenge would be to sort them again in their designated spaces in my closet.  I lost the willpower, and opted to temporarily place them at the foot of my bed. (Don't ask me how many days they're gonna stay there. haha!) 

Adulting never stops.  Most of the time, when I am doing my chores, I always convince myself that if I get them done, then my life would be rid of all the clutters as well. Why do I always fool myself? 😅

I thought I haven't had a musing for quite a while. I am irritated with all the unfinished drafts.  The momentum of my feelings at those moments, had already passed.  Have I been really that occupied? Thought I would put down in writing whatever it is that is keeping me awake.  Keeping me company, my 2020 top songs in Spotify. Two years had passed, and a lot had changed.

Two years ago, the start of Ramadan fell on the second half of April. (This year, it started earlier, 2nd of April).  I was deployed in the wards that time, as it was the beginning of the pandemic brought about by Covid.  I didn't notice the Ramadan days passing by.  One night, after a twelve hour shift, lower back aching and all, I went home and realized it was the eve of Eid Al Fitr.  I was that busy, I didn't even feel the holy month of Ramadan transpire. 

A couple of years later,  and it's Ramadan again.  The days are passing by so quickly, and it feels like I haven't got enough time for all the things I want to do.  

Didn't expect to be immersed like this.  You never really know where life can take you. 

Good thing work starts late during Ramadan. It ends early too, or else I would regret staying up this late.  Better gear myself up with enough sleep, lest I feel dizzy and faint, or become a zombie.  It's gonna be another battle at work, as usual, tomorrow.  

I can't sleep.  I have gotten so used to hearing that snore... it has become my lullaby. Checked the moon.  I always have it to blame when I am crazy like this. A waxing gibbous. Seriously? 😂😁

And as if to tease me more, For you by BTOB is playing. Haha! Love it! I take that as my cue to end this random musing. 

The song helped me get by during my ward days in 2020.  It helped me calm my nerves before going to war, felt very much like it, every time I had to go on duty.  💚

"You're the only one for me... I'm the only one for you."
