Caveat: Lengthy Post
I got through my first week of work at DSI. Yey! :) I still have to acclimatize myself with waking up at 6:30 every morning. So far, so good. However, I noticed that by Thursday my body was starting to act stubbornly. Waking up beacame a bit more difficult. Thank god for the short walk from the MRT station to the office. At least that gets the blood circulating. I also noticed that by the end of the week, my mind was giving my body permission to crash. By Friday's end, my body was so tired it was ready to collapse. But I couldn't let it. We had a gig scheduled last Friday at Big Sky Mind. And masochist that I am, I just had to stay chatting with friends until 5:30am. Yes, I'm trying to kill myself. As if that wasn't enough, I had to wake up at 9:30am yesterday for an editing. With only two and a half hours of sleep, I mustered all the strength that I could to get out of bed, take a shower, and trudge to the production house. My hands were numb, my head was reeling, my comprehension was slow. It took so much effort to do the simplest things. Lack of sleep coupled with a nasty, ass-kicking, head-splitting, hangover. It just had to be that way. Gah.
But I got through the day. And now, I feel that I've gotten enough rest to sustain me for the coming week. Assuming that I'll be sleeping early tonight and the succeeding days. Hehe.
You know, I missed so many people--friends I haven't seen in ages! And the sad thing was, I only realized I missed them when I saw them. Night 'til daybreak wasn't enough to catch up on everything. But we did manage to talk about the heart of matters. And matters of the heart. We've realized that growing up isn't an easy task: planning for the future becomes more urgent and problems become more complicated. Suddenly, not everything is black-and-white or cut-and-dried. You have to be more flexible with your decisions. I'm sorry for being cryptic; some things just can't be shared. But this I'm willing to share: no matter what happens, I will always be here for my friends. I may not see them often, but the minute they come running to me crying, I'll bash the offender's head in to tomorrow. Or something.
On a lighter note, this is what arrived last week. I'm still drooling over it so my keyboard is a bit messy right now.
Don't you just love the brilliant man?
Oh, and I just learned that Mike Carey (Lucifer) and Glenn Fabry (Endless Nights, Hellblazer, and The Preacher) worked on the comic adaptation of Neverwhere due out, maybe, in June--another thing to look forward to and save up for, along with Gaiman's latest novel, The Anansi Boys (coming out last quarter of the year). Also, don't forget Neil Gaiman and Dave Mckean's brainchild, Mirrormask! I am almost trembling with excitement over all these fantastic things to come! :D
Movies and corresponding toys to look forward to:
Let's go a year further and list some must-sees in 2006:
And to further spice up your day like it did mine, read this quirky article. As if things weren't weird enough, the hubby, having just woken up, told me about his dream that David Lee Roth was getting us as sessionists for his world tour. Yeah, the old geezer must have his consciousness working so hard dreaming of a comeback that he actually was able to invade people's subconscious. David Lee Roth. LOL! What could be more absurd than that?
Shucks, I just realized I forgot to invite Kai to the gig last Friday. I promise I won't forget next time. :)
Whew, what a lengthy post. Looks like I really missed blogging.

That used to happen a lot, losing sleep because of activity overload. But of course, the body starts to complain. Hehe. It's nice you're job is "so far, so good". God bless!
ok, that was a lengthy post indeed, but an interesting one :)
wow, you really need to save up substantial nest egg for those toys! i'm thinking they are...expensive?
Ver - Thanks! I'm getting used to waking up early. In fact there are times that I would just automatically wake up minutes before the alarm goes off. :)
Mike - Glad to have caught your interest. :) We're not collecting all of those toys. Just some. They are quite expensive. :p
yay to a good (first) week at work! we're opposites naman, i'm such a morning person i beginning to question if it's normal. morning classes during college, and sign-on shift since i started working!
the jim henson toy is amazing! well, i'm not really into toys, but jim henson is indeed a brilliant man :)
Thanks! I hope this enthusiasm I have for work lasts. :) Grabe, ako naman ever since insomniac. But in the short span that I've been working, I've already managed to discipline my body to feel sleepy by 10pm. ;)
