I am in bed now but I am not yet sleepy. I am enjoying my conversation with a beautiful person. Aside from playing candy crush and mahjong on the phone, and watching videos of local artists on YouTube, my latest sleeping pill is chatting with friends.
I guess this is one benefit of not switching off the wifi. We can interact with our friends.
Until I doze off and my phone drops from my left hand, I will enjoy what I do.
But it is midnight now so I think I have to sleep. See you tomorrow.
Do you chat with others when you are in bed?

Good night po, Ingrid. I do that too with my real friends. We can talk about anything under the moon (because it is night time). And most of all, the conversations have substance. And they are beautiful too because they are honest about what they really are. Isnt is better to talk to someone who may not be pretty on the outside but has a beautiful character? Thank you.

good morning hija. yes of course. i for one would not like to have a chat with somebody who is not genuine in their friendship with me. i joke around, like commenting on my own errors in spelling because of this dictionary/predictive text in my phone. yes, i laugh at my own mistakes.

@mlgen1037 yes, i believe so too. besides, when somebody confronts me with my errors, i should not fret or get mad, because that is one way of learning.

@ridingbet I remember an old boss of mine who was really super strict and an alumna of UP, she said that the most beautiful people are those who can laugh at their own mistakes and errors, just look at AiAi. She is one of the good bosses I ever had. It is okay po. “To err is human” - Alexander Pope

@ridingbet No, I do not go to bed at 6:40, I prepare dinner at 6:40, we eat around 8 PM, then we watch a movie and then we go to bed, 10 PM. I do not use electronic devices once I am in bed.
