12 midnight to others is a very frightening hour.  Based from movies and other media, 12 midnight is the hour of the monsters and other horrible, scary creatures. But to me, 12 midnight is a very peaceful hour; with all the people safely tucked in bed, i hear not even a single ruckus. Well, I’ve been up late a lot of times, and I’ve encountered countless of 12 midnights already, and I tell you: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS MONSTERS!!! They are just the product of our imagination, i mean come on!

I really love quiet and peaceful surroundings and right now is like another day in my haven. I still hear dogs barking and crickets chirping, and in a couple more minutes all will be very still and silent. The only things that i will be hearing are the humming of the CPU and the clicking of the keyboard. Aside from these mentioned – ultimate silence. That is why whenever i get the chance to be still awake when midnight strikes, i just sit and close my eyes and savor the quietness and stillness around.

But there are also disadvantages in this midnight madness of mine. One for example, i easily get shocked whenever there is a sudden sound. I remembered back when i was still in my senior years in high school, we have a report in our English class so i stayed very late just to finish it. I was reading my report for misspelled words when our cat suddenly meowed out of nowhere. I was really frightened that time. It was one hell of an experience.

Up until now, whenever I’m still up at the wee hours of midnight, i always check the place once in a while so that i will not be anymore caught off-guard by our queer cat.

it’s already 12:16 am. COMPLETE SILENCE!

I AM USUALLY LIKE THIS; I SLEEP VERY LATE WHEN I HAPPEN TO BE INFRONT OF THE COMPUTER. I REALLY CAN’T HELP IT ESPECIALLY WHEN IT’S VERY SILENT AND PEACEFUL. IT’S LIKE I AM THE ONLY PERSON IN THE WORLD (WELL NOT LITERALLY ‘ONLY PERSON’), WITH NO ONE TO DISTURB ME, BUT I SOMETIMES HEAR CREEPY THINGS SO I IMMEDIATELY GRAB MY TIRED BODY INTO THE COMFORT OF MY BED. BUT FORTUNATELY I HAVEN’T HEARD ANY OF THOSE CREEPY THINGS LATELY. WELL, WHEN I’M IN THIS ALL-NIGHTER MODE I USUALLY WATCH MOVIES STRAIGHT FROM THE NET. IT’S KINDA COOL HOW TECHNOLOGY LETS US DO THINGS THAT MAKE OUR LIVES MORE COMFORTABLE. WE DON’T HAVE TO RENT OF BUY DVD’S, ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS TYPE THE MOVIE TITLE, PRESS ‘ENTER’ AND VOILA — INSTANT MOVIE!

BUT RIGHT NOW I AM NOT WATCHING MY FAVORITE MOVIES. INSTEAD I AM WRITING/MAKING A BLOG FOR MY ENGLISH PROJECT. WE HAVE A LOT OF REQUIREMENTS IN OUR ENGLISH CLASS AND I REALLY DON’T KNOW WHY BLOG THIS TIME. I DON’T CARE MAKING A HUNDRED MORE BLOG ENTRIES, I’M LOVING THIS! I THINK I AM ALREADY FOND OF THIS THING — BLOGGING. REASONS:

1. I CAN ENHANCE MY TYPING SKILLS. WELL I’M ALREADY A FAST TYPER SO I THINK I’M ENHANCING IT A BIT MORE.
2. I GET TO EXPRESS MY INNER THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS. WHAT’S THE CATCH? I ALSO GET TO SHARE THESE TO PEOPLE. (WELL, PEOPLE WHO ARE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO READ THIS!)
3. I CAN ENHANCE MY WRITING SKILLS. I’M NOT THAT GOOD IN WRITING ESPECIALLY IN FORMAL WRITING, SO IT REALLY HELPS ME JUST BY DOING THIS.
4. MOST ESPECIALLY I GET TO ENJOY MYSELF WHILE DOING THIS BLOG. I SEEM TO BE LEARNING MORE ABOUT MYSELF WHILE HAVING FUN.

WELL, I THINK THE LAST REASON IS WHAT MADE ME MORE INTERESTED IN BLOGGING. SO I THINK I WILL BE MAKING A LOT MORE BLOGS IN THE FUTURE. MY FINGERS ARE CROSSED THAT I WILL REALLY CONTINUE DOING BLOGS SINCE I EASILY GET BORED; AFTER I GET ENOUGH OF ONE THING, I JUST FORGET ABOUT IT AND MOVE ON TO THE NEXT, AND SO ON. SO I REALLY HOPE THAT THIS PHASE OF THE HOBBY-HUNTING WILL NOT VANISH JUST LIKE THAT. I’M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO MY NEXT BLOGS.
