"REM sleep is for losers", said the filipino dad
in the army, they often sleep deprive their soldiers. this is usually towards the goal of one part physical conditioning and two parts mental breakdown for eventual brainwashing.

the other day, my dad woke me up DURING A SNOWSTORM to climb a ladder (a freezing aluminum ladder, mind you) and change the Christmas lights that line the roof of my house. The next day, i woke up on my own terms early in the morning to shovel the aftermath of that previous storm. today, my dad woke me up to move an old couch from our living room, down the slippery walkway, along our driveway and onto the boulevard of the street.

filipino dads like to sleep deprive their children. whether through the heavy-footed steps they make downstairs as they wake up at God-knows-what-hour, through the clanging of ceramic dishware for the morning fried egg they cook, or straight up by shaking and waking you from your deep REM sleep, filipino dads are not advocates of proper sleep.

through all of this, i just hope that:
a) my dad is either planning to ship me off to fight terrorism and save the world (yo, joe!!!)
or
b) is gonna get me an m-16 assault rifle for Christmas.

God, i love our new ikea furniture and God, i love the noble-mindedness of my dad.
it's 6am, i'm gonna crawl back into my cocoon.
