POWER NAP


While I was waiting for my flight bound for Legaspi at Gate 116 of NAIA terminal 3, I can't help but notice how people sleep in such terminals or boarding areas. Every position imaginable can actually be seen. Some lay flat on the ground even if the flooring is clad in ceramic tiles which most of the time is pretty damn cold. Others are fortunate enough to rest on rows of chairs. Some even occupy the whole stretch, complete with blankets, pillows and believe it or not stuffed animals. Others try to sleep while sitting erectly amidst other sleeping passengers who attempt to do the same. Some do not care if they are seen drooling and snoring while others camouflage themselves by wearing oversized sunglasses, shades and whatnots. Others slouch, some sit like Indians while others try to be in positions that are somehow a translation of what they have learned in weeks of attending yoga classes. Others blend in while some put themselves in very awkward poses. Regardless of how individuals sleep in such public areas, at the end of the day everyone just wants to rest and have a piece of serenity before they embark on another journey that will lead them elsewhere. Happy traveling you jet setter you!
