waking up to palawan cherry blossoms

my room mates laugh at my "abnormally long hours of sleep." i really can't blame them because, duh, sleeping is a talent i am proud of. i can sleep anywhere, through anything. one time, i lay down on the grass while my groupmates are shooting and the next thing i knew, i was asleep. they had to wake me up and it's super embarassing. at ang kati kati ng damo. grah.

i can sleep the whole day [try an intensity 9 earthquake, i'd still be snoozing] and i choose sleep over anything. well, maybe except food or great talk. i do declare, i'm a rip van winkle incarnate. hehe.

because i sleep half of my life, i need to have a reason to wake up. and rare reasons are they. i like seeing the sun in the morning. the day doesn't start until sunrise. without the sun, i don't get up. so when a storm is up, it takes me effort and a strong will before getting up.

in my new room, my bed is near the window [yey! i have windows] and i see the palawan cherry blossoms outside. i like waking up to pinks, yellows, blues and greens that only a bright, sunshiney morning can bring. [hallmark ba ito?] but the cherry blossoms are now out of season, so yeah... blah.

i also need to smell brewed coffee. my lola is the ultimate caffeine addict and a day isn't complete without coffee. i take a lot after her. i love the smell of freshly brewed beans [especially the benguet kind i bring home]. she brews them, i wake up.

ponkan on christmas day also gets me up and about! it's the generic christmas smell in our house. i get a feeling that it will be a citrussy day when i smell ponkan, why waste it in bed?

oh. one reason for waking up even when i can sleep all day anyway is... the thought of seeing prospects or hearing fom them or whatever. yeah. boy crazy? fwede. it's way funner than dreaming about them. on most days, if you catcheth my driftage.

and i need to smile when i wake up. so if i get a rude awakening, i promise to get on your nerves for the rest of the day.

and the best reason for waking up is... Jesus. because He rocketh like whoa. and duh, tis the day that the Lord hath made, i will rejoice and be glad in it. [hurray for sunday school!]
