Musings during the wee hours of an office week

I placed the mobile phone beside my head as I get ready to doze off. The time says 1:00 AM. My eyes hurt and my head throbs. Three hours before, I nearly tripped on myself because of sleepiness. I was sure I would have a nice rest when I get to lay my exhausted body on the warm refuge of my bed.

I don't know how I dozed off, but it was vivid that I was awakened, stunned.

There was nothing in particular in my mind when I opened my eyes and found out that it is still pitch black. I may have been sleeping for only a couple of hours. I tried to sleep again, but my system refused to. I checked my mobile phone for the time: 1:30 AM.

Shoot. I haven't even slept for an hour. I was literally rolling on my sheets trying desperately to rest. There was a sudden rush to write about my struggle with sleeping, but my body was too tired to get up. I knew that my head would just hurt more should I force myself to get my thoughts into writing.

Because my body can't cope with my mind, I tried setting aside the drive to write. I thought about other things.

Despite the not-so-cheerful situation I was in during those moments, I thought of something cheerful to write about: something that won't exhaust my brain to think and analyze too much.

This is a rundown of the random things I want to for christmas or anytime anyone thinks of giving me something.

Cheerful, eh?

1. Kikomachine komix (2, 3, and 4)
2. New set of sheets (54") and pillow cases
3. Any hardbound book written by Sidney Sheldon (save for Tell Me Your Dreams) or John Grisham (save for The Client, The Chamber, and A Time to Kill)
4. DVDs of the latest seasons of CSI, CSI: Miami, and CSI: New York
5. Bag holders (wall or cabinet door mountable)
6. Jewelry box
7. Laptop sleeve
8. Any Artwork shirt
9. Gift Certificate for a whole body spa (or foot reflexology)
10. Gift Certificate for a nail spa
11. A whole day treat to Oceanarium or Avilon Zoo
12.Brown or black bag from Tomato (one that can accomodate a whole garbage bag of mess)
13. Pond's Age Miracle cream (hahaha!)
14. Personalized CDs of the latest R&B songs (read: ne-yo, chris brown, rihanna, akon, beyonce)
15. Personalized CDS of all-time favorite love songs

I think I slept at around 4 AM. I got up at 6:30 AM to prep up for another office day ahead.

Nice.
