 “Give Me A Break!”

        Krrrriiiinnggg!!!! Ah, the sound of that bell never sounded so blissful on that day. It was time for our so-called sem-break while actually having trimesters. Everyone was so eager to get out of the classroom and go to their pre-planned gimmicks. Some were going to malls, some to their usual hang-out place, and others were itching to play basketball. I thought this break would be a lot of fun and that it would be a very good opportunity for me to catch up on the sleep I have been missing. It turned out to be the very opposite, though.

        The first forty-eight hours of the sem-break was the only fun part. During those hours, I and my friends went to watch a movie and they slept over in my house. We also got to go swimming and experience the laugh-trip on having Randy get lost inside the village. It was fun although my plan on catching up on a lot of winks was totally ruined. The night when they slept-over was totally not a sleep night. It was one of those nights where everyone does not feel like sleeping and the temptation to jump on the bed becomes irresistible. I told myself that it was okay to miss this night's sleep for there were other nights to come. Boy, what a mistake.

I did not know where the party really was so I just took my luck with me and went looking for it on my own. My luck turned me down very bad that time. I could not find where the party was and what's worse was that I ended up getting lost. I had to take a taxi home and after paying the driver 250 pesos, I conked out on my bed ...
