I’m still such a night owl. I’ve always have been actually. I just love the peace and peace and quiet a lot. The thought that everyone else around you slumbers and you the only one up is just too comforting I guess. Either I clean up some mess, watch the tv shows I can’t watch during the day, blog some or just stretch my back lazily in bed and listen to the crickets in concert outside. Sometimes the gecko will chuckle on the roof on odd hours, sometimes a lost small bee makes it inside buzzing around.

Those are quite fun to watch I’m telling you. Various little bugs attracted by the light of the computer’s monitor. Sometimes it scares me, I gotta just slap the bee to death, i don’t want to get the sting! But when a big grasshopper landed on my keyboard one night, I couldn’t beat it to death, i picked it up on it’s wing edge instead and throw it out the window.

These are on good nights, maybe there’s a soft moonlight outside, clear skies and it isn’t raining. Nights I wish I have improvised computer desks around the house. One in the front yard in the middle of the little green grass where I’ll be enclosed by the santan and euphorbia flowers. One at the back yard under the little cacao trees, maybe under the guyabano trees?! If only the mosquitoes won’t bother me at night. Or the chickens I daily quarrel with because they keep making it inside the kitchen! He he.

But then the neighbors will find me really weird if I put out a big mosquito net outside! Like those black house they use on greenhouses. That would be quite a sight and I would just be laughing my heart out. Bahala kayo, I just wanna listen to the crickets in concert! Ha ha.

And then last night I feel asleep in the middle of a big thunderstorm. My mother said she turned off the tv around 1 am — no more reception due to the heavy rain. I forgot to set it to sleep!

Then around 430 am there it went again. Heavy rain, big thunderstorn…you know…the works like it is only in bicol. I wanted to get up…maybe just watch the rain in the dark and see where the wind’s direction is going. Screw the little tables I wanted outside, I just like it here inside. Warm in bed and a little boy sound asleep on my left side. Looking at him I wish I am 5 years old too. I will just sleep the night out even on a stormy night! ;-)

I can’t remember what time early in the morning everything finally subsided outside…I got up at 9 am hungry! Because I got up already, Raine followed suit a few minutes later. Well it’s a gloomy Saturday morning so we are allowed to oversleep longer than usual. ;-) Nobody is going to stop us from sleeping in. Sarap ng buhay namin ano? It really is.
