Lately, I've been living on five to seven hours of sleep a night (with only my will power to keep my eyelids open and brain focused), and boy how productive I have become! Here's the normal "me-to-me" conversations I encounter when I'm on a roll.
Okay, okay. Let's do this so I can get to bed!
Start with Biochemistry. Enzymes... speed up chemical reactions! All right!
Filipino? Oh yeah, like studying will get me anywhere. Next.
English. That's group work, I'll let the "group work" on it.
Math... Aw. I forgot I don't have math anymore.
Anatomy! This one looks like a toughie, I'd better start memorizing.
-falls asleep for 20 mins-
OH NO! I fell asleep. For how long? Ugh, I don't have a watch.
-finds a clock and tries to read it in the pitch black light-
I can't read the clock.
-turns on light-
OH NO! I could've spent that twenty minutes asleep memorizing three more bones.
-complains on and on and on and on about how she fell asleep-
WHAT TIME IS IT NOW! Oh no! I could've spent that ten minutes complaining memorizing one and a half more bones.
-complains on and on and on and on about how she complained-
ARRRRRRRRGHHHHH! Oh no! I coul've spent that twenty minutes complaining even more memorizing three more bones.
-falls asleep-
AH! I'm gonna be late for class!!

She mourned: It's actually over.
Three weeks of pure relaxation is slowly coming to an end. With each tick of the clock, another day of school tiptoes closer and closer. "There is never time to do all the nothing you want." -Calvin (that cartoony fella) I couldn't have put it any better than that. In these final moments of happiness, I bid farewell to sleeping in, drama marathons, books galore, shopping frenzies, idle moments, scrapbooking, getting artsy with pictures and last (but certainly not the least), pigging out. A few ellipses please for the temporary suspension of these irreplaceable activities... ... ... ... ... ...
Adieu.
Adieu.

She snapped: Latecomers.
A case of insomnia struck me the other night.
Okaaaay, so it wasn't insomnia. I gave into the ever so cunning Sleepiness earlier that day. Consequently I was KOed for three hours or so, which killed my internal clock and delayed Sleepiness' next arrival.
I just had trouble sleeping, OKAY?! Because of that, I spent forever bribing Sleepiness by playing Tetris on my NDS, but who knew he wasn't as greedy as the traffic enforcers we have today? Despite my failed efforts, the Tetris game proved a bit productive. I BEAT MY HIGH SCORE BY 1K! Woot ^-^ Just try and beat my 95___ points of awesomeness. I also scored plenty of T spins and Back to Backs :D Tetris proves worthy of its title as the ultimate time-killer game (dubbed by moi). Nonetheless, Sleepiness refused to come >.<
Hm... Next technique? I tried to seduce Sleepiness. Mario Kart DS. Nobody can resist a good drift. With Yoshi as my lucky charm and the all too reliable Egg 1 cart, I entered the 50cc Nitro Grand Prix: four whole tracks of intense competition. It was me versus the computers, and the game was heating up. I ruled the Figure-8 Circuit and Yoshi Falls, but Wario stole first place at Cheep Cheep Beach. Only one track was left, and this would determine if I would end up with the GOLD... or silver: Luigi's Mansion. Vroom, Vrooooom, VROOOOOOOOOM! I had a nice start, but so did Wario. Urk! Oh no, he cut me! I wouldn't settle for second!! First lap... Still second.. Second lap... Still second, but this time I had caught up. LAST LAP! Rats, I was still second... Yes! An item box. OH MY GULAY! A blue turtle shell >=) Perfect. Now, it was all up to my timing. 3.....2.....1..... BOOM! (: Hello first place! It was smooth driving from then. Hold up, wait a minute. SLEEPINESS! STILL WASN'T THERE! Urgh. Instead of seducing him to me, I guess I had repelled him even further away. Memory lapse! Whoops, I guess I forgot Mario Kart, which comes two in two with competitiveness and a rush of euphoria, is used to increase my alertness ^-^ My bad.
I needed a new technique... Something original... Unique... EUREKA! That Sleepiness thought he was so sly, but I had a way to lure him to me. All I needed was... bait. I knew just the thing: Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan. This Japanese version of Elite Beat Agents isn't that boring, but who wouldn't tire of something they hardly understand? And... Erm... Nothing really exciting had happened with that game, so I won't go into it in detail.
What annoyed me after that was Sleepiness still hadn't arrived! All sorts of emotions flushed through my body, and I wanted to get on my knees and beg for him to come already. PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASExinfinity! I closed my eyes in frustration then zzzzz...

My mom e-mailed me a truly inspiring story. Pls pardon the grammatical errors:
The Basureros
Ever since I was diagnosed of having a possible heart enlargement
in the last APE, I have exerted more effort to do physical exercises.
I do jogging during week days and do long - ride mountain biking every Sunday.
But this Sunday is a special Sunday to me. While I was on my way to the mountains of Busay (cebu) hoping to strengthen my heart by this exercise, instead,
I personally encountered a heart-breaking scene that changed me.
I already passed the Marco Polo Plaza (formerly Cebu Plaza Hotel) when I decided to stop to buy bananas at a small carenderia located along the road. I haven't taken any solid food that morning so I need fruits to have the required energy to get to my destination - the mountain top.
I am almost done eating with the second banana when I noticed two children across the street busily searching the garbage area. "Basureros" I said to myself and quickly turned my attention away from them to sip a small amount of water.
I cared less for these kind of children actually; to make it straight, I do not like them, and I do not trust them even more.
You see, several times I have been a victim to these kind of children who are pretending to be basureros looking for empty bottles and cans when in fact the 'plangganas' , 'kalderos', and 'hinayhays' are their favorites.
I remember one afternoon while I was watching a Mike Tyson fight when I noticed that the TV screen suddenly became blurred then the signal was totally gone. I checked outside and saw two young basureros running away with my newly installed antenna.
Hatred may be the little bit stronger word to describe my feeling towards these basureros, but I do not like them, honestly, not till I met these three children.
I was about to embark on my bike again when I heard one of the two children, a girl of about 7 or 8 of age saying aloud to the other, a 12-yr old boy, "kuya si dodong kuha-a kay nag-sige'g tan-aw sa mga nagkaon, mauwaw ta" (kuya si dodong kunin mo kasi tumitingin sa mga kumain, nakakahiya), only then that I noticed a small boy standing near to me biting slightly his finger. He's a few inches shorter if compared to my 5 years old son (but I knew later that he's also 5 yrs. Old).
Though he did not ask for food from anyone in the carenderia, the way he looked at the customers who were eating is enough to convinced me that he is intensely craving for it.
The older boy then quickly crossed the street and gently pulled out the little one who politely obeyed. As I watched the two cross back the street to the garbage area,
I heard the tindera saying "Lo-oy kaayo nang mga bataa uy, mga buotan ra ba na" (kawawa naman yung mga batang yun mababait pa naman). I learned further from the carenderia owner that the children are from a good family , both parents were working
before, and that their father got a stroke 3 years ago and became partially paralized and their mother died of heart attack while their father was still confined at the hospital.
The parents were still in their early forties when the catastrophe happened, and the children became basureros since then to meet their daily needs and for their father's medication.
Deeply moved by what I heard, I went to a nearby bakery and bought 20 pesos worth of bread and gave it to the children who initially refused including the little boy. "Sige lang noy, salamat na lang, magpalit lang nya mi kung mahalinan na mi" (sige lang po,
salamat na lang, bibili na lang po kami mamaya kung makabenta na kami) the young girl said to me.
I explained that they need to go home because it started to rain. "Naanad na man mi ani" (nasanay na po kami) the girl answered again.
Again, I explained that the rain can make them sick and if they'll become sick there's no one to take care of their father. Upon mentioning their father, they nodded and accept the bread but I noticed that the older boy did not eat.
When I asked him if he does not like the kind of bread I bought for them he smiled but as he's about to explain, the little girl, who is the more talker of them interrupted, "Domingo man gud ron ,noy, basta Sabado ug Domingo hapon ra siya mokaon kami ra ang mokaon ug pamahaw pero dili na pod mi mokaon inig hapon,si kuya ra. Pero basta Lunes ngadto sa Biyernes, kay klase man, si kuya ra sad ang seguro-on ug papamahaw,kami hapon na sad mi moka-on Pero kung daghan mi ug halin mokaon mi tanan."
(Linggo po kasi ngayon,pag sabado at linggo hapon lang po sya kumakain, kami lang po ang kumakain ng agahan pero di na po kami kakain pagdating ng hapon si kuya lang po.
Pero pag lunes hanggang biyernes, kasi may pasok, si kuya lang po nag-aagahan, kami hapunan lang pero kung marami kaming benta kami pong lahat (kumakain) she continued.. "Ngano man diay ug mokaon mong tanan, bahinon ninyo bisan ug unsa ka gamay?" (bakit kung kumain kayong lahat,hati-hatiin nyo na lang kahit kunti lang ang pagkain?) I countered.
The young girl reasoned out that their father wanted that her older brother to come to school with full stomachs so he can easily catch up the teacher's lessons. "Inig ka trabaho ni kuya mo undang na man mi ug pamasura, first honor baya na siya " (pag nagkatrabaho
si kuya, hihinto kami sa pamamasura, first honor kasi sya) the little boy added proudly.
Maybe I was caught by surprise or I am just overly emotional that my tears started to fall. I then quickly turned my back from them to hide my tears and pretended to pick up my bike from the carenderia where I left it.
I don't know how many seconds or minutes I spent just to compose myself; pretending again this time that I was mending by bike.
Finally I get on to my bike and approached the three children to bid goodbye to them who in turn cast their grateful smiles at me. I then took a good look at all of them specially to the small boy and pat his head with a pinch in my heart. Though I believe that their
positive look at life can easily change their present situation, there is one thing thatthey can never change; that is , their being motherless. That little boy can no longer taste the sweet embrace, care, and most of all , the love of his mother forever. Nobody can
refill the empty gap created by that sudden and untimely death of their mother. Every big events that will happen to their lives will only remind them and make them wish of their mother's presence.
I reached to my pocket and handed to them my last 100 peso bill which I reserved for our department's bowling tournament. This time they refused strongly but I jokingly said to the girl "sumbagon teka ron kung di nimo dawaton" (suntukin kita pag hindi mo tinanggap yan). She smiled as she extended her hand to take the money. "Salamat noy makapalit gyud me ron ug tambal ni papa"
(salamat po, makakabili na kami ng gamot ni papa) she uttered. I then turned to the small boy and though he's a few feet away from me, I still noticed that while his right hand was holding the half - filled sack , his left hand was holding a toy ? a worn out toy car. I waved my hands and said bye bye to him as I drove towards
the mountains again. Did he just found the toy in the garbage area or the toy was originally his - when the misfortune did not took place yet? - I did not bother to ask.
But one thing is crystal clear to me, that inspite of the boy's abnormal life, he did not given up his childhood completely. I can sense it that way he hold and stare at his toy.
My meeting with that young basureros made me poorer by 100 pesos. But they changed me and made me more richer as to lessons of life are concerned.
In them, I learned that life can changed suddenly and may caught me flat footed.
In them, I've learned that even the darkest side of life, cannot change the beauty of one's heart. Those three children, who sometimes cannot eat three times a day, still able to hold on to what they believe was right. And what a contrast to most of us who are quick to point out to our misfortunes when caught with our mistakes. In them, I've learned to hope for things when things seem to go the other way.
Lastly, I know that God cares for them far more than I do. That though He allowed them to experience such a terrible life which our finite minds cannot comprehend, His unquestionable love will surely follow them through.
And in God's own time they will win.
GOD BLESS!!!

She spoke: Ten-Day-Nail-Polish
Nail polish comes in all sorts of wacky colors. My favorite is neon pink and although I have yet to actually buy a color like that, I'm positive it exists. My fetish of decorating nails with paint simply ends when the second layer coating of polish is dried out. One last look at my toe/fingernails, and I declare absolute brilliance. It ends there. The next day, the color remains, and I laugh. The day after that, it catches my eye once again and I smile. After that, the excitement fades and the color that I once thought was snazzy becomes rather dull. As the days wear on, the color chips and fades... I begin reminisce about the first time I was in complete awe of the completeness of my artwork, and ponder about why that feeling never returned...Things fade. That's why they say the only thing constant in this world is change. As humans, we have the ability to adapt to different happenings in our environment. Survival of the fittest: can't adapt? What a pity.
That's life... neon-pink toenails. Next color? Zombie green!

He teaches: They say an old man is bitter
People have a tendency to bring uncounted proverbs into debates, and the quote, "An old man is in bitter denial" is no different.
What is the difference between an old man, and a young man? First off, an old man is wise, and looks back into his past, hoping to correct his mistakes, while a young man only has now to look forward to.
Yet, the fact that age changes the whole point of view is a little odd, don't you think? To me, age changes nothing, maybe except for abilities, but that's physically. Mentally, you don't change through time, you change through desires.
An old man isn't bitter, he is refined, but a young man isn't refined, he is tested.

He is dismissed.
Alright, enough of these unstructured rants, I've already had enough of life, but what's it to you?
It seems that everyone in life has a passion, whether towards another person, or a material possesion, when these two are seperated, at least one will take the damage.
And the same thing is happening to me.
All my life, I've been wandering around this little topic called love, which is found in both friendship, and romaticism, but whatever seemed to obstruct my way, I alaways had my friends beside me.
However, this isn't about some old girl, this is about my best friend, so you now see it?
While deep in thought, people usually tend to overlook things, just as I, the overlooking oaf, have done. The many flaws in life are nothing in mere comparison to the actions you do, but the honest answer is: I don't exactly know what I did.
I came to school looking a little weird, standing out, as usual, but for what? I lost the trust of one of my best friends...in my opinion.
THe only problem is. I don't want to lose it. She said to me, and I quote, "I'm too tired to talk...(Insert friend's name here) why don't you two talk?"
But it seems that jealousy took my heart, when I saw her talking to another one of my friends. No, not jealousy...envy, one of the seven deadly sins. I can;t take it off of my mind, I have to find answers, if I don't, I don't know what will become of me.
Is it too late for me?
I can't believe it.
What? You can't see that
I've taken the final hit.

She dreamt:
Breaking news! Her excellency, President Arroyo has resigned. The poorest family now lives in a one-storey, three bedroom, fully-airconditioned home made of cement. PLUS the house is carpeted. The Philippines snatches the spot as the sixth least corrupted country in the world... Hey, a person can dream :D
Our country is currently facing a great variety of issues; issues that seem all-too-difficult, if not then impossible to solve. Somewhere down the list of problems within the country is CORRUPTION (impossible to miss that, it's in all caps, bolded, italicized AND underlined). First and foremost, what is corruption? According to the ever-so-reliable dictionary.com, the root word of corruption, corrupt, means guilty of dishonest practices or lacking integrity.
