On doctors stripping on stage, Activated Charcoals, and the dullness of my blog

Intro lang na walang connection:
Tinanong ng kaklase ko sa Imed sa teacher namin sa Chem 14 (si Sir Engle) dati kung bakit kailangan pa naming i-convert sa nanometers ang wavelength ng light at bakit hindi na lang meters. Ang sagot niya:

"Ganito lang yan class eh. Kapag hindi natin kinonvert, parang kang tinanong kung anong waistline mo tapos sumagot ka naman in kilometers."

hahaha. wala lang. isipin mo na lang:

"Miss, anong waistline mo?"

"0.00000078 kilometers."

hahahaha. parang kahit puro decimal place, malaki pa rin. lol.

College of Med recently had its anual "Tao Rin Pala" variety show. And Imed2014 had its first exposure to it din. Tao rin pala yung title asi gusto rin nlang patnayan na tao rin ang med students, nagvavariety show din kami. hahaha.

in fairness, the upperclassmen were REALLY good. As in todo performance. nakakabilib.

at siyempre di nagpatalo ang mga doctors sa PGH, part pa rin naman kasi sila ng College eh. at ibang klase pala magperform ang mga taga-dept. of surgery. haha. wala silang ginawa sa stage kundi nagtanggal ng polo at pants. yun lang. haha. imagine naked doctors undulating in the stage. haha. parang hindi tuloy kami makapaniwala na sila rin yng mga nagooperate sa mga tao sa OR! lol.

Alam mo ba na mabisang adsorbent ang activated charcoal para sa food coloring? haha. di naman masyadong obvious na gumagawa ako ng lab rep sa chem. pero di nga. kung may food coloring yung juice mo or something tapos ayaw mo nung kulay, lagyan mo ng activated charcoal tapos i-filter mo. tada!

di ko nga lang sure kung pwede pang inumin. :)

my blog is struggling for new posts nowadays. sorry ah. sobrang busy kasi eh. at malamang sa mga susunod na linggo ganun pa rin. bakit pa kasi kailangang mag-college eh! haha.

pasensya blog. till next time. :)

The Three Metors/Earth-destroyers

I had a REALLY disturbing dream last night. Most of the time, I don't remember my dreams, no matter how good they were. But, see, this one's different because it struck me at the right place.

The story starts with me enjoying a carnival/fair/whatever-basta-may-mga-booths with friends ata. For some reason, I went outside and looked at the sky. I saw the moon, or what I thought was the moon. After like 20 seconds, it startled me that the moon was REALLY big. I told someone (can't remember who) about my startling observation. He ignored me because he too made another discovery: apparently, something bigger than my REALLY BIG moon can also be seen at the other direction. And guess what, a smaller version of that thing that looks like Jupiter up close which my friend discovered can also be seen beside it. Startled that there is no apparent hiatus about the three gigantic objects in the sky, we ran back to the fair to tell everyone.

And then all of a sudden I was in my house, watching news reports. After some showbiz news, which startled me at how three objects at the sky were not urgent enough to dismiss talking about showbiz personalities, a news report indicated that the three gigantic objects were in fact, REALLY big meteors crashing to Earth in a matter of minutes. The metors, apparently were not detected by NASA and they just, uhm, suddenly appeared. Amazing.

The rest, I forgot. I remember that two of the meteors crashed on Earth though and I was still alive. But when the third one crashed, there was just light. And the dream ended.

But see, the reason I was able to remember it was because all throughout the dream there was a feeling of extreme fear and regret. But I didn't regret that I would leave the Earth already. I did not fear that the death would hurt.

All I felt was regret that I was not able to confess that much often to help cleanse my sins, that I was such a sinner the other day, that I was not responsible enough to read my Bible, etc. I feared that I was just unworthy to die yet. I knew I wasn't prepared and that the three meteors really came in such a bad timing. I feared not being able to see Him because I deserve not to.

I woke up really scared. Oh yes, I REALLY felt relieved that it was just a dream because I knew I wasn't a good son.

I never knew that that was how it felt like to be so unprepared.

the gospel today pertained to Jesus' baptism. wala lang. and the priest in our parish elaborated on how important this sacrament is. he also elaborated on what Catholic really means.

wala lang. matagal ko na rin kasing alam na ang ibig sabihin talaga ng "Catholic" ay "universal". so anyone is Catholic. at ngayon ko lang napagtanto na ang stupid ng pagtawag sa hindi Roman Catholics ng "Non-catholic" kasi imposible naman yun eh. universal nga tapos may hindi kasali, ang kulit ah! haha.
