This was the year of Katrina. A name forever tainted as the hurricane that wiped out New Orleans. Well, it didn’t really wipe out New Orleans, it was the failed levy which wiped out the city, not the hurricane. It’s also the year of the crazy earthquake that killed 75,000 people […]

How messed up can my winter holidays get this 2005? Ahh, let’s go over where it went wrong =)
On the 18th, my parents arrived in the afternoon promptly. The next 4 days went by without a lot of problem, then on the morning of the 22nd, I went to talk to Dr P […]

After I contacted the Air Force and started the application process for the HPSP, I was told about a tour they were going to have at the Patrick Air Force Base near Cocoa Beach, FL on Dec 28th-29th. I signed up without a pause and my parents decided they wanted to come as well.
On […]

Being that the only dental school that have accepted me so far (and all the other school that might accept me in the future) is out of state and super goddamn expensive (75k/yr), getting loans and scholarships became rather important. When borrowing money for a health professional/graduate program, the government becomes much more willing […]

Ladder 49 is a movie about firefighters. It’s a movie about heroes who live around us - protecting and saving us when emergency arises. It’s a movie telling us that firefighters should command respect for their courage. Unfortunately, 68% of reviewers can’t seem to understand this, and made fun of the movie […]

It can read your mind, seriously!

How difficult is it to start down the path of finding your true love? Look at your own relationship at the moment, and try to think if it’s the love you have envisioned when you were but a young teen. Like many others, you probably settled for something slightly above mediocrity and tried […]

As I was walking to my car earlier tonight, I have decided that I a bit too much about the janitor who tidies up the 4th floor on the Biology building. What can I do though? I can’t help but start dissection at around 4, and with time to spare, I don’t leave […]

I’m going to hold my comments on this class until I get the finalized grade from school =)

Dr Roseann White is one of the great teachers of University of Central Florida. She is amazing with wealth of knowledge that rivals any other teachers in school concerning the subject she teaches. A true expert in her field =)
With that said, I feel positively horrible for skipping so many of her lectures. […]

From 7:30 am till at most, 1:30 pm. Six hours seem like an eternity sometimes, especially for a class, but usually, we’re out an hour or two early. In the organic lab, time usually flies by — even during reflux! It’s really a lot of fun, and I enjoyed the class completely! […]

Genetics Lab is really quite a lot of fun! From playing with fruit flies, to smashing heads for pteridines, every week is filled with excitement and creativity from the TAs and the people who designed the labs. I’m not kidding either, it’s really fun! Albeit it’s easier than I thought it’s gonna […]

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is a movie not unlike most epic adventures that we’ve been seeing lately — from Alexander, to Troy, to Lord of the Rings, Narnia tries to imitate these films while catering to the tastes of young teenagers who might have been fascinated with Lewis’ […]

I rented both “The Eye” and “The Eye 2″ at the same time, thinking they’re related stories and should be watched together — fortunately, I was wrong cause the first one really sucked. The story of The Eye 2 is done with much better direction and a stronger script than the first, and I […]

I wish my hands were better than this. Why do I constantly drop the ball on such simple techniques? I thought as I rode the normally packed elevator by myself. It’s the fourth night in a row where I stayed past the witching hours in order to practice the techniques so easily […]
