There’s nothing new about this but again, i fucked up my sleeping habit. it’s by choice this time because the other night when I was feeling awful, I didn’t want to sleep early. So there. I’m just saying this to avoid confusion because if I say “today I went out with so and so” and people see the time I posted is 3am, that would seem quite odd.

Today I went out of the house. The first time for this week.

Just writing those two sentences make me want to crawl under a rock. But I kind of made up for the hermetic life since I went out twice. The first was with my cousin. He went over for some graphic commission and he treated me to a scrumptious dinner as gratitude. I also bought Gonuts Donuts which I was craving. My cousin is a bad influence since he’s always going on and on about them. FYI, Gonuts Donuts is Philippines’ equivalent to Krispy Kreme. Going back to the story, we shopped around a bit with my cousin doing most of the shopping. He ended up buying a jeans and shoes while I ended up buying a Harry Potter book. The 4th installment. A lot of blogs are raving about the latest release and here I am, just starting on The Goblets of Fire. So yes, I bought that book which is a bit hard for me because I have really little money these days. But I really needed to stimulate my mind because earlier, I couldn’t even remember the spelling of “dinosaur”. How pathetic is that?

My second step out of the house was with Louie. She went here for some dorama-related problems then we chatted for awhile. During our conversation, she mentioned that Fruits in Ice Cream’s ‘Pastillas de Leche’ is really good and she wants me to try it. I guess she became obsessed with me trying it that she invited me to go to her place to taste it. So off we went to her place and I ended up eating quite a lot of ice cream. Of course this means that flavor is really good. We chatted some more there but it was getting late. She dropped me off to my house around 2am I think. Maybe even later.

So that’s how my day went. It is now almost 7am and my day is just ending. I’ve read a few pages of the book and I believe that my brain is functioning again. I think it’s quite evident in this entry.

Man! I need to fix my sleeping habit again. I don’t find sleeping at 6am fun anymore. It messes everything up. I logged off at 3am yesterday, watched some telly, then slept at 5am or 6. At 10am the heat got to me so I woke up and watched more tv. Slept again at 2pm then woke up at 6pm. Fucking messy.

Eh. Not in the best of moods lately. I guess the happy vibe was just a result of the Gaiman experience instead of the medicines. Bummer.

I’m at my cousin’s house right now. I was doing some graphic work for him when my ISP (Destiny Internet) bogged down. My cousin needs it early tomorrow so I had no choice but to go here to give him the stuff. I don’t really mind since I can use his internet and it’s faster than my current one. He subscribed to My PLDT DSL and doesn’t seem to have problems with it.

Bah. Today is a low day compared to the excitement yesterday. I miss the fun. I miss the new friends. I miss hanging out with JB and Sherwin. I miss Neil Gaiman. Ewwww so sappy but it’s true. I read in Neil’s blog that he wants to return someday to the Philippines and he felt so loved here. Yay! I’ll have my other stuff signed.

I had a really hard time sleeping last night. I don’t know why since I was sleepy and very exhausted. I had to take sleeping pills because I was feeling miserable. I sometimes cry when I couldn’t sleep because it’s just so frustrating. I hate this insomnia! Anyway, I guess my normal sleeping pattern is gone again. I don’t feel the least bit sleepy right now. Right now I don’t really care.

My mind is a Chow King Halo Halo right now. I haven’t slept for two days. Normaly I retire to bed around late morning or early afternoon but I was feeling energetic around 12 PM so I decided to hit the gym. It was okay eventhough I didn’t have much energy. I must have looked a bit weird there though because I was kind of swaggering. I stayed there for 2 hours and I even managed to get my own physical trainer starting this Monday. I seriously need to lose weight. I don’t really mind being fat but I don’t feel healthy anymore. Yeah, not healthy at all and my knees are always complaining.

Hey, I can still type well considering I am uber sleepy.

I just got back from watching Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events. I prefer the film rather than the texts. The books bored me. Ordinarily, I prefer book versions rather than the film versions but Lemony Snicket the movie rocks. I love the mise-en-scene, the costumes, the storyline, and the actings. The end credits kicked ass too. I love the film but sometimes I found myself dozing which is a grave sin in my opinion, at least when it comes to this movie.

I was planning to write something else here but my brain is a mush. I recommend that you readers try not sleeping for a couple of days. It gives you a different kind of high (or low) and it wouldn’t cost you a cent. The effects are the same as being drunk with alcohol. You blabber…incoherently. You swagger. You get lost and forget things. When you talk, it is louder than normal. The only thing different is there is no hangover!
