[Comments screened just in case :)]
My classmate asked me to look for a song that has osmosis (or red blood cells) as a topic so that we could play it while we discussed our experiment on red blood cells.
So I type some words in Google and I search.
Barring all the links to songs from the Osmosis Jones soundtrack, I found this disturbing song. (I'm breaking my rule of not putting complete song lyrics in normal posts because it's special. Specially disturbing.)
EXHUMED Song Lyrics
Septicemia (Festering Sphinctral Malignancy, Part II)
(From the album "IN THE NAME OF GORE")
Suffering intolerably from bladder irritability,
Emitting septic belches, pungent septic funk,
Unable to function because of bowel flaccidity,
Interruption of rectal reflex, a constipated gut...
Fecal inspissation inspire colonic impaction,
Decaying the discharge, ulcerative colitis,
Bodily waste accumulates from abdominal distention,
Perforation of tissue, diverticulitis...
Indigested splatter,
Regurgitated bolus overflows in your maw,
Atonic bladder,
The state of the kidneys is now piss poor...
Gastro-abdominal nausea increases with the compression of flatus,
Ankylosing spondylitis renders locomotion an impossibility,
Prolapsing of the sphincter following violent tenesmus,
Bile and chyme seep through ulcers into the peritoneal cavity...
Microbes dine on enterolithic crust,
Intestines bloated from bacterial infection,
Crepitated bowels move in disgust,
Escherichia coli mount an insurrection (repeat)...
Congenital mega colon halts manual disimpaction,
Suppositories run over the sealed orifice,
Laxatives perpetuate the swelling of the abdomen,
The catheter cannot penetrate anal agenisis...
The cardiovascular system is infected through osmosis,
Overwhelmed by pathogens and bacteria so rank,
Mephitic claret causes equilibrial stasis,
The product; a human septic tank...
It's erm... very biologically violent. Also aurally violent.
Obviously we did not use it because we were scared Ma'am (and our classmates) would be traumatized.

Well, Wednesday was supposed to be my first day in a PGH ward.
Now, Trebor-san had regaled me with his experiences in the ward (the blood transfusion, etc.) so I thought that I should bring gloves and a face mask (under advisement).
I get there and I end up...
Painting plastic flowers made out of dextrose bags. Perfect. Ah yes, painting them red.
*sigh* I hope next year's ward days will be better (and more related to my course). Of course I could be asked to take down the ward's Christmas decorations...

I'm not used to getting complimented on my hair.
And people always gasp and frown when I tell them what shampoo I use. And then they ask about my conditioner and they don't like what they hear either. >_<
Meep. I only use my shampoo and conditioner because:
1. It works :) and
2. My brother worked for the company that makes it at one point in time.
Different point of view: my relatives swear by the expensive horse shampoo (that's sold at Duty Free) that's erm... used on horses (and rich people). I have no idea if it's effective though. >_< My relatives don't have shiny hair, though. I wonder if it works well, though. We had a bottle of it once at home but my father decided to claim it as his own (sort of).

Oblation Run on 12/12/06.
Considering that I have classes from 8:00 am (because of ACLE) to 7:30 pm that day, I guess I'll probably be on campus when it actually happens.
Erm. I do not know what to say.

"UP Manila Scandal: The whole of Intarmed 2013 cuts class!"
No, not really. We were actually excused by our College (College of Medicine) because we had a special event later that day (Tao Rin Pala*, a yearly program showcasing the artistic talents of the Medicine students and even the PGH doctors). Unfortunately, the memo didn't reach one of our teachers.
Of course, I wouldn't be lying if I said that it's not my favorite class.
Take what you will from that statement. :)
*Thank you for correcting me, Joan :)

"Human embryos have webbed hands until _______ remove them."
-Paraphrased question from our Bio quiz
Well, the answer is the lysosome (rather, lysosomes).
It's an interesting question, actually. :) Nothing run-of-the-mill.
We also had this:
"Our hands are wrinkled after doing the laundry because of the soap solution which is a __________ solution." (paraphrased also)
Well, the soap solution is hypertonic compared to our body...
I like these questions but the other questions in the quiz were murder. >_<
So more studying in the future for me =P

Math teacher: *discuss discuss on conics and lines*
Math teacher: "You don't need to memorize them (the formulas for conics), just remember them."
Class: *varying degrees of confusion at statement*
Math teacher: *notices*
Math teacher: "What? You don't memorize your name... but you remember it. You don't memorize your boyfriend's name but you remember it."
Oo nga naman.

Was there something in the air today that made people wear red? (Well, today is a holy day of obligation but...)
Since my group in Bio Lab had to report on an experiment involving red blood cells, we all wore something red. But that doesn't explain why a lot of UP Manila people and even a lot of people in church were wearing red.
What a coincidence. Or maybe I'm reading too much into this. Besides, the other day a lot of people was wearing blue. =P

I still haven't forgotten the anguish you put me through, your misuse of our friendship, nor the horrible things that happened (that you directly and indirectly made happen) in the years we've known each other. Honestly, I'd be happy not seeing you again. I don't think that's a realistic wish, though, considering who you are and who I am.
But still, I hope you have a happy birthday. (Belated, I mean.)
And actually, this is meant for two people. Yes, you. Also you.

We can get our high school diplomas now?
Uwah, that's great :) Now if only Pisay would fork over my high school transcript too, life would be so much happier (well, a little). :)

I was supposed to place something dramatic here but the dramatic thing got eaten by the recycle bin. >_<
Ah well, I have a printed copy. :) So eventually it will get posted here, when I find the time to type it all out.

And lastly...
Vinni-san, welcome back :)
