Brother Moon

Last Tuesday night, I wanted to sleep early. For these past two months, it became a habit for me to sleep after 2 am and it was affecting my endurance during the day. So in consideration to a brother's order that I should go to bed early, I then went to bed at 1 am. However, sleep was elusive, and I just kept on tossing and turning. I guess I had gotten used to tiring myself out first before I can sleep, so my mind was still very active and thoughts were busy running across my head.

After more than an hour of restlessness in bed, I opened my eyes to see what the time was, and to my surprise, it was very bright outside, even to the point of illumining my room which was blocked by huge curtains. I wondered why, so I stood up and looked outside, and behold, I saw Brother Moon shining so radiantly. After a moment of entrancement, I quickly got my camera and took snapshots of it. This is the best photo I got =)

After that, I was able to go to sleep hehehehe... I must have eaten too much mooncake that day! Happy Mooncake Festival for those who are celebrating it.

Happy mooncake festival to you, too! What's a mooncake, btw? hehe.

To avoid insomnia, I try to wind down by doing relaxing things like listening to classical music. By midnight, I should be ready to fall asleep.

Wil, I read before that classical music will make us difficult to sleep and most classical composers have problem with insomnia.

Sis, I think having supper too often will also make you difficult to sleep.. ;p And you better listen to that brother's advise for you to go to bed early. Early to bed and early to wake up will make our lives healthier ^_^

What are you doing much of the night that you only sleep at 2am? Hopefully not watching a lot of TV hehe.

Yup, what's a mooncake?

Hi Wil, I better blog about mooncake. Watch out for it! Hehehe.. Too bad, I just ate my last Chinese mooncake so I cannot take a photo of it. But Andreas, my brother, just gave me an Indonesian mooncake so that's the one I will post =)

Hi Bro, let me rethink about supper then. But I can't ignore my stomach's voice; it sounds so pitiful at supper time =(

Sir B, I read your posts at night, that's why hehehehe... I don't watch a lot of tv here. They only have one English channel. But I watch a lot of Youtube hehehe...

aha, you are not alone! my wife and are are still adjusting to getting to bed early because of our ex:) neighbors who often keep us late.

I have read that classical music stirs up the intelligence part of our brain. So layad, makinig ka sa payo ni wil. Makakatulog ka na, gagana ng husto ang iyong karunungan:( Any way, I hope you get to sleep better soon and that the heart issue is not what keeping you awake:) ingat!
kamahal naman nung moon cake dito eh. maliit eh P115.

my mom has this superstition that whenever you can't sleep, make a small knot in any corner of your blanket. i really don't believe in it but it works several times for me. i guess it's quite a psychological thing in some ways. : )

Hi ading FBI, kaya nga! I take a nap during the day but I still feel so tired after that. I have to change my habits. Hope u had an enjoyable bday celebration!

Hi Manong Abella, if Wil can send me his classical music, then I could probably try his suggestion hehe.. I didn't know that u moved. Ayna? It's good to hear u don't have noisy neighbors now =)

I don't think it's the heart issue. I'm actually doing good, truly. Thanks for the concern, Manong. I really appreciate it!

Hi Novice Blogger, hmmm... That is new! Let me try it and see if it works for me hehehe...

Thank you all for your comments! Come again.

people, why are you advicing layad to sleep early? :)

sis, did you forget na magkarugtong kase ang pusod natin? eh pag natulog ka ng before 2AM eh di nadaya naman ako nun!? di ba?

seriously, i thought getting married and all would force me to change that habit (lol) but lo and behold, after a few months of forcing myself to sleep early, wala pa rin... so sis, wag ka nang mangarap!

pero i would agree na at least 12midnyt sana ang pinakalate pag student ka...
