I need to take a break. I am becoming too cynical and pessimistic about things lately. I am lately becoming bitter and afflictive more like of a "What the f*ck do you care?!", something like that and it sounds bad. hahaha. I have been burying myself lately to Ecology and Chem books. I have been working pre-labs and postlabs non-stop and even though I don't have any works to do, I still think of doing something because there's something in me that tells that I should do something and to tell you quite frankly, that's really wierd. I am very much concern with my grades right now because I can't afford to fail at any subject. But looking at what's happening right now, the more I "try" the harder it gets for me to be my best and that really sucks.
I am miss reading books, having a good movie to watch or just spending time with myself. I miss RELAXING. It seems that I need to buy that word "relaxing". I have at least to balance my daily consumption of those freaking so-called "knowledge". Being too scientific gives leaves you to be a total stranger to this world, so I need to have some good literary things to refresh my significance in this world. Haaah! I need to pamper myself with a good book, but how on Pete's sake can I do that? When in fact, I don't have the time to finish reading my major subjects' books. Now that freakin' frustrating.
Well, at least here's blogging, a convenient way to channel my ramblings and mumblings. School is so tiring.

Very Odd...
Philippine bulbul
Yeah....bulbul (as in pubic hair) :D
A dedicated post for Taxonomy might help me with everything, especially we will have an approaching long test, so I have to make peace with it.
While having our Biolec, and take note, I am intently listening to it, crunching and munching every single word that I heard, listening it by heart, yeah. Then, while I'm seriously absorbing every term that I hear, my prof mention something. She is discussing the importance of having a universal scientific name for all organisms. Names of different organisms in different nations varies widely so there must have a universally, accepted name for a certain species. Latin was used because it is a dead language, nowadays really, it is no longer used as a dialect and only scholars way back centuries and centuries uses this language, so that no argument may rise 'bout not using their language as the basis for naming scientific names. She gave a quite number of examples and the one that really caught our attention is that when she says the species Philippine bulbul. At first, the words are quite fuzzy and I didn't really heard it clearly, I thought it was bold bull. But when my prof, said it over and over and over again, giggles and chatterings started to rise. Haha.
Philippine bulbul (Ixos philippinus)- is a species of songbird in the Pycnonotidae family. It is endemic to the Philippines. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montanes.
It was bulbul! A pubic hair! Bulbul in Filipino is pubic hair in English. Come'on, poor little bird. Given a name after a pubic hair! :D
I happen to have some Korean classmates who really can't relate at all this ridiculous joke, so my really interesting prof translate it for them and the rest is history....
I wonder who taxonomist named it for the poor little creature? And why the heck did he name that. Ok maybe he has his reasons. :D
Just take a look at the picture, does it look like a pubic hair? :D
Ok, maybe taxanomy is not that all lame, maybe some but not all.

Learning to Love C. Linneaus
Before anything else, I want to congratulate Mr. Barrack Obama for making a history! Please... Be a good leader. :D
I just had my 2 majors today! Bio Lab and Bio Lec. The worst of it is that they are in the same day.
So, wish me luck during exams. Oh well, the gap between those two beloved subjects of mine are like distant mountains: 4 hours break! My oh my! My attempt in updating a post at school did not offered me even the slightest chance due to computer patch there. But I will really try to sneak some time.
My Biology this semester is ALL about the gruesome, compelling, nose-bleeding, morbid and terrifying TAXONOMY/SYSTEMATICS/BIODIVERSITY, whatever they maybe. Carolus Linneaus is sure a genius for constructing such branch of Biology, he is so genius that he made to think a way to make bio-students' lives harder and tougher each day. My prof in Biolec in the previous sem already warned us that Taxonomy is not at all a piece of a cake subject, sure it's sounds so boring, naming all the "unknown" species there is in this world, but sure I need to maintain my grade so as to not disappoint my parents and surely to not disappoint myself. My dad have been urging me to become a doctor since yesterday, don't know what came up to him. It's like being a doctor will only take a few snaps and voila! Oh well, a father's dream for his daughter....
I'm not really sure about this sem, I will have 5 units of Comm. Arts and a Gen Psychology subject, whew!
Oh well, I just want to share my latest blabberings about my life. I will really try my best to post updates as possibly as I can, but I am not promising anything.
So, goodluck!
Adios!

Life Offers Us Many Things
Today is the official day of the start of our graduation practice and believe me it is surely a tiring and an exhausting practice. We started from 12:00 pm after the test and we finished at around 4:30 pm, the worse thing is that we have to study all these songs in 4 VOICES!!!! What is this the MANILA SCIENCE HIGH SCHOOL CHORALE! As in all the students are in the chorale! that's funny I think. Although, I have no idea how many songs we are going to sing, I think studying them with 4 voices will definitely kill us. Baka lahat kami may sakit sa graduation. We practice the 4voices of "Lupang Hinirang" this afternoon and let me tell you honestly, Alto...hm....doesn't quite get the right tune of the voice. haha... Being an alto really needs a lot of concentration and constant practice. So cross fingers for tomorrow.
Nakapagpadagdag pa sa kapaguran ngayong araw na ito ay ang pagpapraktis ng sayaw. We are practicing a social dance for our requirements in MAPEH and I am gonna dance in 2 groups! Cha cha cha and swing! What a multi-tasker am i! haha...
Anyways, GgG had some reunion at Mcdo today and it's quite good because at least i felt that we are still intact as a group and friends. We discussed some problems and I will pray that everything will gonna be alright.
You know, sometimes life has its way in teaching us lessons and realizing things that will make great importance in our lives, though at first life seems to be unfair and we seem to get hurt by all the things that are happening, I think it's the ONLY way that life help to be a BETTER person.
So live life at its fullest now!
