Grumpy and Grumpier

Zombie. That’s how I am the past few weeks. I usually go to bed around 12 MN to 1 AM. I need an average of eight (8) hours of sleep to feel fully recharged. Anything less than that, I’m most likely to throw a dagger look at people who have the guts to get my ire. I know I’m getting grumpier and grumpier by the day and I can get pretty feisty and impatient. Case in point.

Orie asked Ca, one of our house help to bring down the accessories of the mixer. After realizing that she doesn’t need it, she called the maid’s quarters through the intercom to inform Ca. It was Irene, another house help who I’ve been feeling iffy with, who picked up the phone and assured Orie that she will relay the message. After a few minutes, Ca goes down to our room and brought all the accessories.

Orie: Ca, sorry. Di ko na kailangan mga yan.
Ca: Ah ganun ba?
Orie: Di ba sinabi sa yo ni Irene?
Ca: Hindi.
me (out of nowhere): Sabihin mo kay Irene, bruha sya! Bruha!

Then Ca went back upstairs. Orie had this look on her face and said “Atchie (ate), ngayon lang nakita narinig magsabi ng bruha.” (me talking to myself: Well, ako rin! Hmp!)

My evening was cut short. Ma advised me to go to bed early and get my much needed sleep. I think she somehow foresaw I am most likely to strangle someone. :-D
