The Mind Museum

-
Second sem grades came out today, and I did better than I had hoped! Hopefully all the hard work I put into this semester will be enough to get me into the Dean's List. Then I can get out of doing the dishes today heeheehee


Yeah, I'm back home now. I have been for about six days. That means I've got a little over a week of vacation left, but I don't mind. So far it's been going fine. Like yesterday, I finally tried my hand at cooking. Well, if frying luncheon meat and making an omelette counts as cooking. Okay it's no fine dining, but I bet Rachel Ray started out frying meatloaf and eggs too. (The fact that the best chef I can name off the top of my head is Rachel Ray should give you a good estimate of how much I know about the cooking world.)

Anyway, last Saturday, my block threw Deo a very late birthday surprise (his birthday was back in November) at The Mind Museum in Taguig! It had opened just that week. (Click any photo to enlarge!)
We all put on Deo masks! (I wish I had used mine to cover up the face I was making in this picture)
Spaaaaace @u@
Amino acids. One got busted by those darn kids. -_- Pressing one would light up a huge amino acid model hanging from the ceiling. 
T-Rex model skeleton! It was huuuuge.
Real fossilized dinosaur poop! They let you touch it and stuff.
Kind of this running gag about Deo being a god. Haven't gotten tired of it yet. 
Looking forward to more adventures with my block. Especially since we're gonna be spending majority of our summer being forced to memorize amino acids and all. Ugh. And you think your summer's boring?

summer plans

I found out yesterday from Alessi that our last exam is on the 23rd! (Yeah, I haven't gotten around to checking the March calendar yet.) My flight's on the 26th (with Gerard! ), so that gives me three extra days of ~COMPLETE IDLENESS~ woohoo. So anyway. I'm really excited to go home. It's just two weeks though, and after that, TWO MONTHS of summer classes. Which means I'll have to fly all the way back to sweltering Manila to take up the TWO SUBJECTS that I and the rest of the Health Sci majors are required to take. Gahh. I can feel the heat waves reverberating towards me from the future. Right. Lest I digress any further, here are some of my (our) ~summer plans~ roflmao March:  Go home and be happy as a bee for two weeks! April-May: Take Psychology and German. -_- Take the Carlos Celdran tour around Manila! n_n Sign up for PAWS! At last! Light up some environmentally destructive floating lanterns, and then later lecture everyone on how they've just...

women superheroes

A lot of my close friends are boys. Boys who like comic books. I hang around them a lot, and usually we talk about random things like physics and foreigners and lobsters having no pain receptors. We went to watch The Amazing Spiderman on a whim just recently. It was fun. Sometimes it's not so fun. I used to get a lot of sandwich jokes until those stopped being funny. Now I get "d'oh you're a girl so of course you hate comic books" jokes. I don't hate comic books. I love Neil Gaiman's Sandman . And Walking Dead, too. And Scott Pilgrim!!! But I don't read superhero comics. It's hard to be interested in them when most, if not all, of the superhero women 1.) have gigantic breasts, 2.) wear sexy clothing, and 3.) are always in stereotypically feminine poses. What if the male characters posed like the female ones? (c) Kevin Bolk And look at that. Why can't the men wear clothes as revealing as the women, or women wear clothes as concealing...

Box O' Rice

To be honest, I don't even remember if it's called Box OF Rice, or Box O' Rice. I hope it's Box O' Rice. It just sounds cooler that way. But anyway. I went there last Friday for dinner, and it was my first time there. It's a cozy little place right next to my dorm, and they serve exactly what their name implies: boxes of rice. Boxes of rice with toppings, of course. Emphasis on the word "boxes." Which means there are no plates involved. Which means you can bring the boxes in and out of the store as you please. I should've noted this earlier, because I embarrassed myself at the counter, telling the cashier TWICE that I wanted my box of rice "to go." Durrr. Boxed na. To go pa. Anyway, the food itself is good, for P60-P70 priced meals. My only complaint is that their meat-to-rice ratio needs a bit more tweaking. There's just so much rice, and so little of anything else! That's Pinoy portioning for you. Actually, the store don...
