Snoozey Woozey

Whoever invented the snooze button on alarm clocks is a genius! How else could I have lived through endless nights of partying when I was younger without its help? I can imagine, long ago, when I'd go home at 5 and set the alarm at 10am. That's 5 hours of sleep! Who in the world can wake up with just 5 hours of sleep?! Not me.

UPDATE (NOV. 9) - I've written this post months ago and decided to go back to it because I've recently noticed how worse I'm getting at sleeping late and waking up late. Mind you, my work starts at 10AM, but I always arrive at 12NN. I'm so lucky with my boss.

After setting my phone alarm at 8:30, it will take me probably 5 5-minute snoozes before I actually get up. I then head to the sofa for my daily dose of pre-work television. I really don't care what's on; I just have the notion that TV can actually wake me up, although that's not proven because there'd still be instances when I sleep while watching pre-work TV.

After realizing that it's 10:30 already, I usually head off to the bath hastily and remember that I actually have responsibilities. Responsibilities are SOOOOO over-rated...

I can't think of a sensible way to end this blog so...

Photobsession

I have been obsessed with Photoshop for the longest time. I've been doing it way back in college and I really want to dig into its capabilities some more. I'm envious of all the artists who have created brilliant digital works, and somewhere inside of me, an artist is crying out loud wanting to be one of them.

But how do I? I didn't have formal training. I just learned of it from a friend who studied fine arts. Then I installed the software into my computer and tried my very best to find out what each and every button does.

Alas, you see now what years of trying have done. A friend commented that it looks nice and that I have an "eye". But I don't think so. I always think there's something missing in the picture. Or something overboard. Simply put, it's not good enough.

But hey, I'm getting there. At least I got one person to tell me that it's nice. And everybody needs improvement! Perfection is boring. (Yup, Nomer. Just keep telling that to yourself, and you just might believe it.)

I guess I'll try Illustrator.

I'm not insomniac!

First stage: denial.

I don't know why but it seems my thinking gears start working after midnight. I just lie in bed thinking about stuff. And things. And other stuff.

So I decided, along with the persuasion of some peers, to start a blog. I really don't expect to get much out of it but just to express my feelings at this time in the morning. Which might be irrational, but nevertheless they're mine.
