Nocturnal Girl

Guess what? I got sick from all the sleepless nights I spent hanging out just about everywhere before I went home. Just great. And nowadays, I can’t sleep no matter how tired I am. Last night was only the first night I got to sleep early. I’m really starting to worry about my sleeping habits because it’s so hard to become productive during the night especially that people transact during the day. I seriously think that there must be some sort of scientific classification for people like me who are just hyperactive during the night and so sloppy at daytime. Since I were a kid I already noticed that I get so much done when everyone is asleep, and I hardly become productive when everyone else is. (Oh no! This would mean that if my work shift is 9-5, I’m definitely not going to impress my future boss!) I’m sure as hell I’d be a very productive citizen of this world if only business is done on evenings. On the brighter side, I could get a job that operates on nighttime. Aside from the additional hazard pay for a night shift, I’ll hardly be sleepy at all which would be plus points at the workplace. :) And I’ve noticed that if I don’t sleep at night and catching zzz’s during the day, I get slimmer. I actually lost almost 7lbs. which I attribute to the habit because I eat the same amount of food and oh no, I certainly do not expose myself to any kind of exercise. Only I got dark circles around my eyes now. I wonder if this kind of habit is still healthy at all. I hope it is because at daytime I really sleep as if it’s the night. Plus I got my sleeping aide (a piece of cloth with garter over its ends to hold itself around your head, whatever you call it) which is a BIG help.

Anyway, it’s my second week here at home and I have barely gotten out of the house. Not that I really want to. It’s just that it has started to become boring especially that I’m almost always alone. My super kulit bro goes to school everyday coz their sem break hasn’t started yet (hey, I didn’t have any sem break when I was in high school…) so there’s nobody to pester me. My sister still hasn’t gotten back from Manila since she’s still waiting for the registration period and get herself enrolled first before she comes home. And it’s as if she’d be home a lot at all when she gets here. It’s her first sem break so I bet she’d be out with her friends when she gets back. I know she misses them. Give her a year or two and she’d be homebody convert just like me. The only thing that’s keeping me excited is that Star World show of Paris Hilton and her friend Nicole Ritchie tonight. I think it’s called “The simple life”. They will take on a life with an average family at a faraway farm minus their dough, credit cards, phones and everything else that is the core of their lives. Ooooh, I wonder how these über rich kids will fare. MG, it’s the world like they’ve never known it! And that other show at ETC called “Young, Posh and Loaded” sounds interesting. How fascinated am I with the lifestyle of the rich?!

Oh yeah. That Usher concert I was so prepped up before is NOT going to push through..Uhuhuhuhu! My friend has a sis working at the MTV Studios and she says it’s been cancelled. Not even postponed. It’s really cancelled. Uhuhuhuhu!

The beginning of the last sembreak

Whoa! It’s been that long since I blogged.

I’m home right now, just got back from Manila yesterday. I’m eating lanzones, after months of trying to ignore the lanzones sold everywhere in Manila for an outrageous price of P30 for half a kilo. That probably reveals how scarce that fruit is in that city. While in my little town, its so abundant it's sold for P30 a kilo. In fact, lots of them were already thrown away because they were starting to rot. Even if you eat a boxful (coz we put them in a box instead of kaing that’s more prone to fruitflies) there is still plenty for everybody. In fact it was just yesterday when the fiesta was celebrated here we call “The Fruit Festival”. That is how bountiful this town is and I love it and I’m proud of it even if nobody really knows where it is. Oh how I love the fact that I can eat as much of any fruit as I want here. Well, almost anything—coz mangosteens are still quite pricey. I barely eat anything that comes from plants back in Manila. Well, I probably do eat some “plant products” but I bet those come from GMOs. Ugh! I’m never going to live to an old age.

Anyway this is the start of the bumming around for the last time. It’s the sem break once more for me and I’m happily stuck at home where I don’t have to think about anything, and there’s nothing crucial I must do for survival like dropping my clothes over at the laundromat, etc. I don’t think I can bum around in the summer coz I’d already be looking for a job. Not that I’m complaining, I’m actually excited to “make money money make money money”! Oh yeah, I’m going to try to work next semester because I only have 15 units left and most of the subjects aren’t really hard (or so I’ve been told). That would be a good money-saving agenda because, instead of getting bored, going to the mall and spending so much for pigging out, and most of all, nightly gimmicks (which is starting to make me feel like it’s a routine after all these years), I would have something else to do. Last sem, I only had 15 units and you have no idea how miserable my life is because I have nothing to do and all my friends have their busy lives to attend to. I’m not a studious person but for lack of anything better to do, I study. Can you believe how pathetic that is? And all my small problems are suddenly magnified because there is nothing else to think about. I was even eaten up by thoughts of my harmless little crush who normally goes out of my mind when he’s out of sight. But well at least the last few weeks were well spent as I’ve met a lot of interesting people. Last night was the only night I didn’t spend on bars for the last 5 days (How could I? I’m home.)

Oops… there’s my Dad telling me to sleep already..Well, there’s an entire month for me to blog.. I guess I’ll just catch some zzzz’s. I already look 5 years older.
