As of the Present.

It has been approved by my medulla oblongata that my regular sleeptime would be seven o’clock in the evening. I have been refraining from stress, and from sleep deprivation nowadays. But then, the result of its implementation is that I’d wake up at 2 o’clock in the morning. I sleep early, and I wake up early.

Then I’d look at the mirror and would tell to myself mentally, Okay, I’ll go and live with this day studying Divine Comedy in English and Calculus in Math. And that this Saturday would be a review class for NCAE. More or less, there are 32 days to go and it’s Christmas. Our Christmas tree had been assembled and placed at the sala last week, instead of the usual first week of September. Now, there’s a difference of having 5 people in the house rather than 2.

To my surprise, school’s not boring.

Last Saturday was our Card Day. My father arrived sooner so I asked first our service driver to claim my card, and much to my surprise – all grades went up (96 in Music, imagine!).

I want to watch The Covenant, to buy things and stuff, to eat Asian Salad, and to feel Christmas.

How could I feel Christmas? As I’ve said months ago, Christmas is for children who would lay down stripes of paper with wishes along the chimney. Worse if they would hang socks besides their chimney. Much worse if they believe in Santa Claus, since I never believed in his sleigh. And in the first place, chimneys are definitely an alienated device for houses in the Philippines. It would also be the very reason for akyat-bahay gangs to go inside your house, or a mangkukulam, or even flood your house when typhoon comes.

And the Third Grading Unit Test would be next week.

And it’s November 22 today, though this post is for yesterday. Okay, I’m off to school.
