EN: to feel sleepy, to become drowsy
That feeling when you're in a 1 PM meeting after lunch, and your boss's voice starts sounding like a lullaby. You try to keep your eyes open, but the spirit is willing, and the flesh is weak. Yan ang mag-antok. It's the universe telling you, "Bes, kailangan mo na ng kape o kama."
