A20:44
I woke up and felt the cold air.
Nagising ako at naramdaman ang malamig na hangin.
It was different from yesterday.
Iba ito kumpara kahapon.
My skin knew something changed.
Alam ng balat ko na may nagbago.
I stayed in bed a little longer.
Nanatili ako sa kama nang kaunti pa.
The warmth of my blanket felt deeper.
Mas malalim ang init ng aking kumot.
I listened to my own breathing.
Nakinig ako sa sarili kong paghinga.
This cold told me to slow down.
Sinabi sa akin ng lamig na bumagal.
I did not rush to get up.
Hindi ako nagmadaling bumangon.
I just watched the window fog.
Pinagmasdan ko lang ang ambon sa bintana.
The world outside looked soft and new.
Mukhang malambot at bago ang mundo sa labas.
Maybe winter is not just cold.
Siguro hindi lang malamig ang taglamig.
It is a chance to rest.
Ito ay pagkakataong magpahinga.
