how to get jet-lagged in the same time zone

fly cebu pacific to hongkong on a friday night. leave cebu at 10:15pm (flight was a bit late). arrive in hongkong around 1am. arrive at central before 2am. 


LP was ok at the airport and fell asleep in my arms on the place despite cebu pacific's unappreciated near midnight onboard game to prove they have fun flights. i did an "if you can't beat them, join them" by answering the movie trivia contest. 


where did this line come from? "life is like a box of chocolates." no-brainer, and i wanted the contest over asap. BBB frowned at the cheap set of travel envelopes that i won (made out of the same material that SM uses for their "green" shopping bags). 


LP woke up when we disembarked, and stayed awake in the cab ride all the way to central. he sucked his thumb and looked at all the lights whizzing by. that's when i realized how brightly lit hongkong is, and was appalled at the electrical consumption. when we got into bed, he had more milk (a bottle and a half more), hiccuped, and promptly lost the milk on the bed. argh. finally feel asleep. 


fly back to cebu from hongkong on a tuesday on cebu pacific's pre-1am flight. this meant leaving central before midnight to catch the airport express. but in our case, we left around 10pm hoping LP would snooze early. he snoozed at 11-ish, slept through boarding and the flight, but woke up when we got off the plane and was awake all the way from mactan to the house. this was 5am. bleah. we had to convince him that it really was still night time and that we all had to go to bed.
