Arrived from Lucap, Pangasinan yesterday. We went to the Hundred Islands. Pictures will be uploaded later as I need to study for the f*ckin' NMAT. I'm annoyed because I HAVE to study plant biology, psychology, sociology and anthropology. Not that I hate these topics; I love reading on these topics especially evolution and behavior experiments. I just don't understand how knowing stuff about the vascular system of plants or who Comte is will prove that I am ready to go to med school. And I now feel that the NMAT was made to give all those BS Biology students a huge advantage over us, paramedical students.

Napanood ko kanina ng Game KNB. Bonus round na ang naabutan ko. Ang category ay Scientific Laws named after famous Scientists. Ang Bonus letters ay JEW. At ang mga letrang binigay ng kalahok ay MDT. Ayon. Wala siyang natama. Malas niya lang kasi kung sinabi niya sana ang mga letrang A, C, B, G, H o V, may tatlo na siyang tama. Sino ba namang nakaabot ng 3rd yr high school ang hindi nakakakilala sa Avogradro's, Charles', Boyle's, Graham's, Gay-lussac's, Henry's at Van der Waals equation? Malas lang niya.

Madali naman ang M, Maxwell's equations pero iyong iba ang hirap. Hindi ko agad naisip ang Torricelli's law(ayaw ko talaga sa Physics) at wala talaga ako naisip sa J at W(wala rin ako makita sa Wiki? May sagot sila, hindi ko maalala.). Pati nga ang mga researchers ng Game KNB mali ang mga sagot sa ilang letra. Hindi naman LAW ang Enstein's THEORY of relativity at ang Darwin's THEORY of Evolution. Pwede siguro siya mag-reklamo sa ABS.

Siguro, maganda ang mangyayari kung isang Physical Chemist o Physicist ang nandoon kasi kung anu-anong Law at Equation ang mababanggit niya at baka mag-away pa sila ng researchers ng Game KNB. Kaya lang nga may salita ngang FAMOUS sa category so baka matalo siya kapag masyadong obscure ang isagot niya. At least masasabi niya na hindi law ang theory at baka bigyan siya ng bagong pagkakataon.

Ano ba ang pwedeng sagot sa E at D? D, Descartes' theorem. E, Erlenmeyer rule(kunwari pwede na pati ang rule). Pwede rin siguro sa M ang Markovnikov's rule

My blogging experience so far:

"Nothing can be so amusingly arrogant as a young man who has just discovered an old idea and thinks it is his own."
- Sidney J. Harris

side note: I know it should be more gender sensitive, but a quote is a quote.

side note2: It could also be applied to people who saw a movie or read a book and think that the writer or director is brilliant because of concepts introduced that were new to him. Example: Matrix borrowing from Rene Descartes' predicament.

In celebration of the Holy Week(Days for me), I urge you to play Bible Fight. (I recommend playing as Eve.)

I just got invited to join the Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society.

It's creepy. I've been googling it and I've managed to see chapter websites only. No controversies or huge issues.

Should I join or not? Some notable Filipinos were or are members of this society. Examples are Ferdinand Marcos and Carlos P Romulo. I don't know if I deserve to be member because the only thing I've managed to do is get good grades during my first two years in UPM; grades which are being pulled down by my so-so performance during this academic year. I guess the main benefit would be the ability to expand my network but I'm too antisocial to be able to flourish in those kinds of environment.

Crap... As if I don't already have enough on my plate.

You'd think I should be done with my school work by now but no I'm not. I still have classes on Monday and Tuesday. And I've just realized that summer has started and I'm still stuck in my room doing these uh... things. At least, my room has a nice view.

I have crazy hell week to look forward to and instead of preparing and studying for the tons of tests I'll be facing, I'm doing a transcription of a lecture in Nutrition. Incidentally, the lecture is included in my test tomorrow and I'm not the one who is supposed to do the freaking transcription. Basically, my classmates decided that they deserve to be excused from trans duty due to the hell week and because the professor gave the copy of his presentation late(lecture on monday, copy given on Thursday). Uh... Hello! Wasn't it your duty to take f*ckin' notes during the lecture and not just rely on the copy to be given later? And on top of that, the lecture was held last Monday. Your group had about 3 days to pester the instructor or borrow notes from more hard-working and dedicated classmates. Then you ask us if it is all right if we let you off trans duty? Surprisingly, I was the only one who exclaimed my disapproval. And even though I told you this, you still didn't make a proper trans, instead you just uploaded a pdf file containing the scans of the hardcopy the instructor gave you. Wow! You had all of yesterday to make the f*ckin' trans yet all you did was this?! I'll just make a mental note to give your group crappy trans next semester.

I've finally summoned up the cash and courage to purchase a new pair of glasses. I bought one in the Robinson's Ermita branch of Sarabia Opticals. It's around Php1800. A bit high compared to the prices offered in Quiapo but I do not want to go to Quiapo to search for glasses; I just don't have the time, energy and knowledge.

The grade of my eyes(I forgot the technical term) is still 50/50 not 25/25 and definitely not 100/50. I guess the 25/25 was due to the fact that I got my eyes refracted after our Unknown test in Microbiology which involved searching for a tiny tiny red thing in a sea of blue and white. The 100/50, I can't explain but I did have my eyes refracted after a class which involved a good bit of reading. Anyway, my plan still works; my parents still do not know a thing about my lost glasses.

I'll try to post a picture once I claim my new pair.

Hell week was moved due to the "Interfaith" rally yesterday. I did not participate and it is not because I completely disagree with their views. I don't know who they are fooling; the Roman Catholic(and its many sects and subgroups) faith is probably the only faith there. Why would you pray the Rosary in an interfaith rally? And what about us faithless? Still, the power of the Roman Catholic church and its followers is still a force to be reckoned with in this country. However, the effects of the rally on pGMA(who regularly attends mass and a very religious person) seem non-existent, at least in this issue(read: family planning).
