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.

Who said I'd stop commenting? I'd still be checking up on my beloved Kim of course! :D
Philippine bulbul. HAHAHAHA. That's a funny species. Obviously a name not created by a Filipino.
I'm happier now Kim. I got some news about it...you know, him. Hehe. I'll still see what happens though, then I'll tell you.
When do you plan on going to Manila? :( I miss you!
Lots
Haha...I thought you would leave me for good! haha! Too much melodrama.
When am I going to Manila? Um, that's a tough question to answer. Really uncertain for the moment. But I will really try to go there.
Good, at least you have news about him now.
Good luck to you lotsee!
Mwah! :D
P.S. I hope your hiatus at the blogosphere world would not take a long time..... :D
Haha, I think I might go back around Christmastime. That would have already been a nice-enough vacation if whatsoever.
At the present there's still not much happening on that end. :(
Thanks though. Kayong 2 lang ni Artem, and Justine Urias nag-eencourage sakin eh. Hehe.
And yeah, I'll be hanging around. Haha :D
Lota
Ah talaga? Justine Urias?
Good thing na nakakapag-usap pa kayo...
