Haven't written anything substantial for sometime now, what with all my time and effort going to preparing for my final examinations (or wasting my time playing Rome: Total War, depends on your perspective) and planning my strategy for staying at least one more year in the School of Economics. Back then I was complaining about the lack of rest and sleep that I was experiencing, now I realize not without a sense of irony that I find the lack of anything to do to be more stressful than having a lot on my hands. Heck I can't even sleep now, since I'm not tired enough to sleep! So here I am, typing away at my Palm keyboard, whiling away the hours until the sun rises (its 4:15 right now) or until some part of my brain finally realizes that IT IS 4:15 IN THE FREAKIN' MORNING! Aaaaa... This is why I hate long vacations. Sure, I bitch and moan about the stress of continuous "combat operations" (read: studying) during school days, but having a purpose to get you through the day beats the hell out of having nothing to accomplish while you're awake. What do I have right now? Nothing! I've beaten every computer game I own, I've read every one of my Tom Clancy books at least twice (I'm reading Red Storm Rising right now, for the nth time since 1999), I've entered my grades into a spreadsheet. Heck, I've even calculated my expenses for the next year! Why am I complaining? I miss the challenge and the excitement. I miss looking forward to another day with my friends, another new idea to be learned from my professors. I miss waking up with a mission to fulfil, another puzzle to crack, a clear purpose for the day.
Haaay... I can't believe myself! Here I am crying out for the very things I was cursing just a few short weeks ago! AAAAAAAA! And I still can't sleep! Maybe I should try counting sheep... one sheep...two sheep...three sheep...YAWN...four sheep...five sheep...one googol of sheep... CRAP! Still can't sleep! Maybe I should try to reach a googolplex of sheep... What the hell? The sun would be setting by the time I reach 1% of that number! I must be going mad...
Well, some of you out there might contest that, so I'm just going to pre-empt you: I'm not insane! Hahahahahahaha...
Haaay... maybe I'll just stay awake till the sun rises, which is, by the way, about an hour from now, and just sit here at my desk and contemplate about... whatever crosses my mind.
Hmmmmm.....choco choco clap clap choco choco clap clap everybody's singing chocolate...... WHAAAAAT? I must be going mad!!! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-------please stand by-------
It's now 5:31 AM. After running around my room screaming like a whipped dog (yeah, right...), I gave up on trying to sleep and turned on the TV. I watched two men shooting pennies at concrete on the Discovery Channel, "Head of State" on HBO, and now I'm watching the sky as it turns from black to gray to blue.
Haaay... It's a beautiful morning, quiet and serene. I can hear the roosters crowing and the birds chirping. No cars honking, tricycles buzzing around, or people screaming. I'm the only one awake in our house right now, a hopeless insomniac staring out the window at the first rays of the sunrise. I've never appreciated mornings like this before, I was always preoccupied with preparing for school and trying to move fast enough so that I could get to class on time. Now, I've got nothing to distract me from listening to the sights and sounds of nature. So having nothing to do has its benefits... Hmmmm... I feel relaxed once again... But I still can't sleep! This has got to be the longest non-political post I've ever written! Hahahahahahahaha......
Great... Just heard on "Unang Hirit" that another oil price hike is coming our way, as if our pockets have any deeper to go...
Guess I have to update my expenditure estimates to accommodate the subsequent fare hikes.......
It's already 6:03 AM. I've been ranting for the past two hours and I'm still not feeling sleepy! Waaaah...hahahahahahahaha..... Again, how ironic. A few weeks ago I couldn't sleep because of numerous tests and projects. Now I can't sleep because of a severe lack of anything substantial to do! Well at least I'm getting a chance to learn how the Romans used aqueducts to bring water to Rome...
6:21 AM. I've been tapping away at this keyboard since 4:00, and I ain't tired yet! What the hell is wrong with me? Haaay.... I feel like the freakin' Energizer Bunny, I just keep going, and going, and going....
Maybe I should end here, someone out there might just send the white shirts after me.... hahahahahahahahahaha....
That's all folks!
