  1. A

    Hay, ang antok ko. Alas-dos na naman ako nakatulog kagabi.

    Ugh, I'm so sleepy. I didn't fall asleep until two again last night.

  2. B

    Nag-scroll na naman po kayo hanggang madaling-araw, 'Nay?

    Were you scrolling until the small hours again, Mom?

  3. A

    Isang video lang sana, tapos namalayan ko na lang, alas-dos na.

    It was supposed to be just one video, and the next thing I knew, it was two.

  4. B

    Ako rin po dati. Ang nakatulong po, iniiwan ko na sa sala ang phone bago matulog.

    I used to do that too. What helped is that I now leave my phone in the living room before bed.

  5. A

    Paano ang alarm ko? Saka nakakapagpahinga naman ako kahit papaano.

    What about my alarm? Besides, I still get some rest, more or less.

  6. B

    Bibilhan ko po kayo ng alarm clock. Kumusta naman po ang mga klase ninyo?

    I'll buy you an alarm clock. And how are your classes going?

  7. A

    Sa totoo lang, nagkakamali na ako sa pagche-check ng papel. Kahapon, naka-perfect sa akin ang isang batang may tatlong mali.

    Honestly, I've started making mistakes when I check papers. Yesterday a kid with three wrong answers got a perfect score from me.
