Sorry, bes. Pagkabukas ko ng reviewer, inaantok na agad ako.
Sorry, bestie. The moment I open my reviewer, I get sleepy.

Ganyan din ako dati. Pero nang subukan kong magsulat habang nagbabasa, nawala ang antok ko.
I used to be like that too. But when I tried writing while I read, I stopped feeling sleepy.

Magsulat ng ano? Kokopyahin ko ang buong reviewer?
Write what? Copy out the whole reviewer?

Hindi! Habang nagbabasa ka, gumawa ka ng sarili mong mga tanong, parang sa exam.
No! While you read, make up your own questions, like the ones on the exam.

Sige, subukan natin. Pero isa pang fries muna, pampagising.
Okay, let's try it. But one more order of fries first, to wake me up.
