Biological Clock

Rains A Lot

It's been a rainy season and we had been lots of rain, rain, rain. Eventually it's rainy season. It's so natural to have rain. I didn't have to worry about the terminology.

I feel special thanks to her dedication to me. Unless her doing good to me, I am unable to come up with any meaningful fruits, just thanks.

Biological Clock

Last night we started sleeping at 3 a.m.just and we woke up at 8 a.m. just. I wonder how our biological clock works.

some scientists were doing experiments on insects' body clocks. in my memory i remember them being mayfiles but this is surely not possible since mayflies only live for 1 day and so don't need body clocks. anyway some insect with a similar name, possibly the gadfly.they discovered that by changing the brightness/darkness of the insects environment at different times, they could alter the running of the body clock, often in strange ways. when insects go back to normal day/night patterns, the click will eventually return to normal, but this could take quite some time. they continued to do this, in order to find out from the outside how this clock works and is organised, how it responds to light changes.they found out that a short burst of intense light in the middle of the 'night' (in relation to the body clock) causes the click to mess up. the insects start to wake and sleep at unpredictable times, and don't readjust or begin again to respond to light/dark to return to normal.. from then on they simply operate with no order, as if no clock were present.since hearing about this i live in fear that i will accidentally find and trigger this reset button in my own body clock. alternatively, sometimes i fear that i already have.

We live according to many time tables in our life. We maried during certain periods, in the case of women, the time table is so limited, they give birth in certain periods, too. Women's mense is also held according to some time-schedule, they all are related to the movement of moon or other astrological facts. Sun, moon is the cause of the basis of our biological clock naturally.
She said she usually goes to bed at 22 to 23 and wakes up at 6:30. Although we started sleeing at 3, she woke up as her ordinary life pattern goes. She must have wanted to wake up. I noticed she was moving incessantly before 8, just she started to get up at 8 lest she should interrupt me keep on sleeping before 8. Then soon after the time past 8, she woke up. That must be the whereabouts of our 'biological clock.'

Mosquitoes
2006.06.28 1:43

Abruptly I felt like taking a nap around 22 o'clock and I slept without doing anything what I supposed to do usually before I sleep. 40 minutes past midnight I woke up by hearing a sound of wings of mosquitoes.
In the first place my house is located far away from wetty land-near river or ponds, or even located at slightly higher hill so we had been always free from attacks of them till two years ago. Only recent two years we started hearing the arrival of them but it was one or two very special limited occasions. Besides I am immune to the bites of them, I mean even if I were bit by some of them, my skin is free from itchness, though the part got a slight inflamation, they will soon disappear. In short I am free from the threat of them, but only the tiny sound of their wing was out of my considerations.

Sleeping Hours On 25th Of June
2006.06.28 1:59

I met her on the 24th of June for the first time in two weeks so it was what I was yearning. Till I met her I had almost no physical touch except for very special cases. So it was what I was yearning exactly. On the 25th of June, next night I started sleeping 2 o'clock in the morning and got up at 4:30. Through satisfying my strong sensual desire, my body and soul was under strong shock I guess.
I went to office without taking any more sleep, it is needless to say I was very sleepy during my working hours.
