Craziness at the Crack of Dawn

I am reminded of Nick Joaquin's May Day Eve, when the ladies, still high from that night's party, convinced one girl to look in the mirror and see who she would marry, and saw the face of the devil. The dawn is full of such craziness. And I am like those girls of Nick Joaquin. Nick Joaquin, I must say, is my second next favorite Filipino author, second only to Jose Rizal, because their writings never fail to evoke such romance in me. Like those girls, I have a habit of staying up late into the early morning and sleeping until our neighbor's cock sings "Viva Forever!" I've wanted to stop this craziness, but the more I stop, the more I stay awake, day dreaming in the night.
