Insomnia begets Hyperactivity... in my case^^
I cannot count the number of people who have been amazed at the unusuality of my anatomical structure. First of all, I am (self-admittedly) the biggest eater among my friends, but (and not meaning to sound conceited) I am also the slimmest. Think Jughead of the Archie comicbooks. When I'm eating, I only speak when asked, otherwise I don't bother to waste energy moving my mouth to spout out tete-a-tete when i can use them to chug food down. Then there's the fact that my feet haven't grown a single millimeter since fifth grade-- I'm already graduating from high school and my feet still fit my girly shoes from grade school. And now, it's my occasional lapses of insomnia begetting an additional bar of hyperactivity. From what i heard, you're supposed to look like you just swallowed down obscene amounts of valium without water but (and I'm grateful for this) in my case, I did not.
And in conjunction to that, I just did the impossible: I haven't slept a wink in more than twenty-four hours, didn't imbibe a single cup of coffee (Oh my god... caffeine is no longer my lifeblood...) went through the grad practices I'm always bitching about and DID NOT FALL ASLEEP. Whoo. Talk about unreal...
I was supposed to post this entry way back in the morning but my darn schoolbus decided to show up ten minutes early, much to my frustration, but here it is anyway:
It’s 6:30 in the morning and I just finished my breakfast of a tall glass of milk. I remember going to bed at around eleven o’clock pm yesterday, which is quite early compared to other sleeping times, but I still clearly remember tossing and turning in bed trying to snatch some of the sandman’s grains to no avail. I looked at the clock on my cell phone after some time to find out that I’ve been making a bumpy caravan of my bed for four hours and twenty-one minutes straight. I swear I must’ve fallen asleep one minute before the alarm rang off at five fifty.
-______-;; But I’m not surprised. For some mundane, perverse reason, I seem to psychologically repel sleep when I need it most. Graduation’s two days away and I have no intentions of looking like I just dabbed healthy proportions of the goth look under my eyes. Not to mention the * cringe * zits that lack of sleep can produce.
...Somehow, I have this feeling that I’ll be nodding over at the inhumanly boring practices again.
Well... that last prediction wasn't quite so accurate, coz surprisingly, I did not fall asleep. Nearly, in some of the song practices, but not quite, which should explain the hyper bit. Rayne and I were pulled out from grad practice because our presence and stock knowledge (which wasn't all useful as we found out later on since covalence bonding and the lewis-dot structure seemed to be erased from our brain banks the minute we stepped out of junior year) are needed for some demo lessons for potential teachers, and man, was it a hoot. All the teachers had at least fifteen grammatical errors in their "speeches", including the English applicant. The chemistry applicants were by far the most decent even though they still talked broken, prom-d English. One of them kept showering us with glowing compliments everytime someone answered correctly even if we we're just reading off the visual aids (Wonderful! Give her five claps! A one- and a two and a... that kind of stuff -______-;; For some reason I found it all quite amusing even though he kept calling me to recite or do something to his drawings on the board.
Well, going through four lessons with "baroque" articulacy still beats going through the sleeping gas of grad practice.^^ And well... let's just say I've discovered enough things to keep me from staring at the black void behind my eyelids for the rest of the day.(yes, Rayne, I am capable of getting a clue and CARING that I do, albeit rarely).
So that's it. It's now ten in the evening and I'm still up. So that tears it, my anatomy is definitely not normal. Whether I should be pleased or not, remains to be deduced.

New Layout!
Whee~~~ Finally, a facelift of my ridiculously austere blog! One of the images is still misaligned though-- and I'm working on it, but hey, I'd say this is a huge improvement-- it's housing my favorite color and one of my most well-loved anime pairings (Yay Miyu and Larva!) to boot! And they're STRAIGHT. ^^
Hehe, that's all. Just exuding my excitement.

After all the freakin' requirements...
...I'm still frustrated as ever. Is it really like this? Before you graduate, you have to undergo more major mind-molting rituals, even after you've practically sapped your brain dry from exams and requirements?
I'm talking about graduation practices of course. Today's the first day and I am so loathing it. Grad practice was a colossal bitch-- All we did was practice jaw-breaker songs whose notes are higher than Akin Sijin's pimp-ness level, and this SLOOOWWW, annoyingly funny march that involves calculated step distance and 3/4 time measure. (Who's the asshole who elevated graduation marching to a high-class art, anyway?) But in fairness, I would rather repeat the stupid march over and over again instead of going through the agony of the sleep-inducing song practice. I literally toppled over in my chair in my thinly-veiled and very unsuccessful attempts to keep awake. I seriously considered pretending to have incomplete requirements just so I can be pulled out. Too bad my rare spark of responsibilty worked against me... -_____-;;
And the worst, most unthinkable part is, we still have 5 more practices to go. Fuck. If I had a choice, I'd sooner just get my diploma through the mail than go through all the torment just to have the prestige of marching and having hundreds of people witness my acceptance of a diploma. I mean, what's the point in putting so much importance on how to get the tunes of some stupid songs? If I didn't know any better, I wouldn't even notice if the singing's off-key, because most of the songs have original, if not unheard of, melodies. The important thing in graduation is to march properly and smile as we receive our diploma, plain and simple. And okay, fine, sing some songs. That's it. If we were able to accept digest the lessons and handle every work load they chuck at us during the senior year, isn't it likely that we may get some simple, rhythmic marches down pat in one day? We're seniors for God's sake. Do they think we won't be using any of the things we've learned just because we're through? Seems like it, coz they seem to have the notion that we need 6 days to master the measured marching, the singing, and the liturgy.
6 days. 6 fuckin' days. Shit. Is graduation worth all the agony?
*sigh* Oh well. Complaining will only make me feel worse so I'll shut up now. 1 practice down, 5 more to go.

Bye bye High School!
Finally, it’s all over! Gawds… I really can’t think of anything to blog about, ‘cept about how infinitely relieved I am to finally get rid of the hell hole cleverly disguised in this made-up name: High School, and I seriously doubt anyone would want to read a five paragraph ramble on how I hate Physics and anything remotely involving stupid laws and equations.
So, now that I no longer need to list all my requirements, I shall create another list on what I’ll do this summer, after I graduate.
*Work
I have two jobs. One is the Cyberlink distributorship I’ve already been working with since last October, and the second is in a coffee bar. I’m going to make ridiculous amounts of cash pouring coffee and persuading people to go on wireless internet and engage in e-commerce. Not a bad arrangement, since I’m surely going to need the financial aids that I need for Ateneo.
* Intensive badminton training:
Rayne’s sister told me that I can get a scholarship in Ateneo by belonging to the string A of any varsity team. If I train hard enough, I just might get a shot at it.
Okay, that makes two jobs and extra sports training in summer. What else…hmmm… oh yeah!
* Another trip to Mt. Banahaw (courtesy of my friends)
Yes, I know my first Banahaw trip was, though quite enjoyable, gave me spaghetti legs and a hefty dose of fatigue— and we didn’t even reach half-way up. What more for the whole gargantuan slope? But then, I remember that although my body felt so disposable the night after the trip, I was up and running the following morning, ready to tackle my job and a gimmick in the mall. A good night’s sleep does work wonders.^^
So, I therefore conclude, that I will not tumble down the mountain cathedral when I attempt to conquer its vertigo-inducing heights.
Now that I’ve boosted myself enough, all I have to do is convince someone to join me… ^^;;
* Finish all my fics
Hehe. Akin and Wowie keep reminding me about this so might as well put it up here along the list. Hmm… lemme see… I have a total of four unfinished fics, and another four fics I have yet to start. And among the eight fics, only two was borne out of my own will. The rest are long-overdue fics, challenges, trade-ins, and requests.
If I fail to finish three before the end of the summer, I will cheer for the Lakers. (>,<) (Though play-offs will be way over by then… )
* Gain weight and blood pressure?!?(not sure if gain's the correct term ^^;;)
I’m serious. I need to be physically fit if I have to accomplish all of the above sans the fic writing. Doc said that I’m way underweight for my height. Plus, my irregular sleeping habits while in high school caused my blood pressure to drop. TT____TT
What else, what else... Hmmm... that's all i can think of at the moment. And oh yeah.... *grins*
* Gimmicks
Can't live without 'em. ^____^
There. That should suffice... for now. Will add more once I think of it.^^

You're a Pure Hentai!
What gender pairing steryotype are you?

~~~* Grr... That reminds me... I need to get the uncensored version of Red Lotus! Argh! The first hentai anime I've ever watched with a decent looking guy (think Strider Hiryu) and the friggin' video had to be censored! I hate those fucking pixels! (no pun intended)
*calms down* Wowie, Akin? When will you take me to that vcd store you were telling me about? ^____^;;
