Body Clock

This is me just before i leave the house to meet my classmates

Even when i was still in highschool its been my body clock to wake up early in the morning, usually around 6am. Some people find it very difficult to wake up as early as that but for me, it's becoming an irritating habit.

Like when i go out on gimiks at night and end up sleeping really late, I still wake up at six the next day. Whenever im out of town with friends and everyone gets drunk from the night before, i still find myself wide awake early in the morning looking for something to do. Its not good coz i only get a few hours of sleep.

I've been trying to find an explanation to this habit and i think i just found out why. While i was having dinner with my flatmates last night a random memory of my childhood suddenly explained why i get up early. I think this is because when i was about 4 years old my dad turned a small part of our house in Alfonso, Cavite into a kindergarten. The purpose was to prepare me for the big school in manila (DLSZ). I remember i didn't want my classmates to know that i lived there and that the school is owned by my dad. So, i 'd walk two blocks every morning to wait for my classmates and walk with them going to school. I don't know why i did that but no one really told me to do it. I remember i had to wake up earlier so i can walk two blocks and make sure no classmate of mine would see me coming from my house.

I find it weird that i did that but i think that explains why i wake up early. Maybe at the back of my head i'm still that kid who wants to go out early and prepare for the days adventure.
