If you don't have a mum who barges into the room, shouts your name and asks you what time you're going to wake up, then you should get one.
For the past 16 coming to 17 years of my life, there has not been a week that went by without me jolting out of bed.
Call me weird, but whenever I'm asleep, I can feel my soul somewhat seeping slowly, more like detaching from my body. And every time I get this sudden unannounced intrusion into my room, I can feel my soul jump back into my body with so much force that I'll literally jump up, with my heart palpitating wildly.
Upon realization that it is my mum and no one else, I rub my eyes groggily as I tell her that I am awake now.
Sometimes I find it annoying because having slept late the previous night, it wouldn't do justice to me if I were to be awoken in the early morning.
But as odd as it sounds, I'm glad that till now, my mum still does it, because sometimes I do hit the snooze button a little too often, and/or I'd not even set the alarm for an appointment.
And I must say, my soul is taking this shock every week pretty well, because I've become less and less terpranjat by parts of horror films that were meant to scare us.
To add more effect to this heart palpitation experiment, I suggest you get a dad and a brother who can't turn the door knob quietly. And just like my mum, they have to barge into the room. And no matter how much they try to be quiet, they're bound to mess around with some plastic bag that makes the thrashy sound. And then they'll accidentally drop something near you or on you. And if you're lucky, they might trip and fall on you.
If that isn't enough and you want to have a taste of death, then you should get a black sausage dog that leaps onto the bed at any random time just to snuggle up to you.
If you want them but can't find any, fret not, these are my family members. You can borrow them if you want, but only for a day.
I think I am turning into a nocturnal animal. Ever since I graduated from school, I have been sleeping at 5 or 6 in the morning, only to wake up at 3 or 4 in the evening. But last week was the most extreme. I would wake up at 5 or 6 in the evening, and from there, would last till the next day at 5 or 6 in the evening again. A short nap would do it, before I am up and about in the house, lasting the whole day, till it's in the mid-afternoon/evenings. It's kind of like sleeping for a day, then skipping sleep the next day.
I know it's not healthy for my body, but I have already gotten used to it, so much that I can't shut my eyes. In fact I rarely blink now. But after using the computer for a long while, my brain starts hurting.
It seems like I am wide awake when it is Twilight.
The movie has nothing to do with my sleepless nights, nor am I becoming a vampire. I just find it rather peaceful to be surfing the net and watching TV at night. There's no one around, the internet connection is much better, the loadings are faster. And there's no one to bug you or disturb you when you're engrossed in something.
I managed to complete a 1000 piece puzzle in two nights. I just have to glue them together (which is of course the toughest part) before hanging it in a frame.
Well, I wasn't the only one who succeeded in something. Junior, my dog who sleeps on my bed with me, stayed up all night with me to catch cockroaches and lizards (He even killed a beetle)! Don't worry, my house isn't infested with pests, I let him out of my house, near the stairs to let him "enjoy hunting", being a hunting dog that he is.
By sunrise, Junior was knocked out, and there he was, dozed off, and spread widely on my bed, with his belly facing the ceiling.
Just like this:
Anyway, I do hope that this habit dies off soon, before I start schooling again. If not, it's going to be really tiring and I might doze off in between lectures!
Speaking of school, I wonder when our results will be released. And I have no idea on what my 12 choices are going to be. We'll see.
And today's the outing day that I was supposed to have with Shera and the other girls. But I can't make it! Oh well.. Shera, I emailed you, telling you all the things that I wanted to tell you. I do hope you forgive me for not being able to make it for this outing, I promise I'll make it to the next one, your party.
I hate saying goodbyes, because there isn't any good in it. But do take care.
Dreams are sequence images, sounds and feelings experienced while sleeping, particularly strongly associated with rapid eye movement sleep. The contents and biological purposes of dreams are not fully understood, though they have been a topic of speculation and interest throughout recorded history. The scientific study of dreams is known as oneirology.
It may sound pretty strange, but I have been having the same dream every single night. And it is either a repeat of the dream, or a continuation (like a series) of the dream.
I wouldn't say that it is enjoyable, because it's about being in a relationship with someone I know, someone that I wouldn't say I like a lot.
But in the dream, everything seems so real, from where our hands met, to the places we went.
It's kind of freaky. And every since last week(when I had been getting the same dream), I try to delay my sleeping time, or better yet, not fall asleep at all. Because every time I fall asleep, the same dream appears.
So what does this dream really mean?
My mum thinks it has something to do with being deprived from love. Hahaha.
And some friends say that maybe it's a hint, to rethink of my judgment towards this guy, maybe he isn't that bad after all.
But who knows what it really means? And what am I to do, to stop these dreams from coming back?
I need sleep, but I can't. In fact, I don't want to. So what am I supposed to do?
