i still remember mom's rule about sleeping before 10pm. it was never about sleeping more and earlier so i'd grow taller. it was never about sleeping because i'd give her less trouble in a subconscious state rather than a conscious one. nowadays, i'm hardly able to even meet this rule that's been with me through till i was 18. it'd always help cos i'd at least be awake enough in school even though i'd still sleep with my eyes open cos the lecturers were impossibly boring. army has its lights out timing for operating units but still... HAHA. anyway, the point is that this month and the months to come is really gonna see little sleep. taking leave last friday really helped so much when i slept half a day away.

dad was just talking to a friend of his about how much difference there was between my sister and i. considering the different schools we went through, he kept emphasizing that my sister was always the one kept on her toes and working hard while i seemed to make homework disappear before i reached home early. yeah. he stressed about how the grades differed and all. but i'm glad how school turned out and ended for me (at least till i finished As) so i wouldn't want it any other way.
