Bite-sized Life

I've got odd habits. I know (and hope)I'm not the only one.
1. I make toast with butter and honey- in the evening
2. My bedroom door has to remain shut. It ticks me off when it's open.
3. I don't lick ice cream. I bite it through it most of the time.(no brain freeze for some reason)
4.When I take a shower, there has to be music while I'm at it.
5. When I buy yogurt, it has to be either strawberry or berry mix and non-fat. No other flavors are tolerated.

Yesterday, while getting ready for school, I was looking for a binder in our computer room. After looking around there alone for a few minutes, someone called my name. It was a distant voice, a woman's. She called out my name - twice. I assumed it was one of our househelp (it can't be my mom since she's sleeping like a log) so I went to her and asked why she called me. She looked at me all puzzled and said she didn't.
Oh. My. God. She can't be serious. Then I told her (assuming it was her) that she must've called me. She insisted she was busy cleaning the living room. When I told her where I was when the voice called me, she told me she had experienced the same thing several times when she was cleanin the computer room or watering the plants outside. And she also mentioned that when she'd pass by the stairs, she thought she'd seen someone go up- only to vanish.
Well, considering we're living in an ancient house, it still sends chills up and down my spine.
Ick. Ick. Ick.

Thank God fourth quarter prelim exams are over. Math was a killer, why do I even bother? I envy people who can multiply fractions! Biochem was about our little dabate on cloning. It's all about essays. (Which I smoothly answered.) Ok, I"m more on artistic pursuits than academics. I hate high school coz 1.) everyone's clique-ish. Barf. Barf. Barf. 2.) Our principal sucks 3.) Education- everyone can acquire knowledge through textbooks but artists/ artistic people aren't recognized unless they have several A's in their grades when in fact, people who can tell the difference between aqua and blue are quite rare. 4.) No freedom. At all. It's a prison in academic disguise with a promise of a very bright future for your child. Please. It's not about the school. It's about the students.

This dreamboat plays a detective's little brother. Okay, in my list, this guy stands next to Patrick Dempsey. Considering that he's associated to a subject that I've purely loathed all my life (Math, to be exact), he's got this boyish guy-next-door charm. And when he starts spouting off all those mathematical garble, he seems more irresistable than ever!!!! I mean, hello, looks and brains in one package?? That spells HOTT. The show Numb3rs is entertaining, packed with action, suspense, with a touch of forensics, and at the same time educating, coz Charlie (David Krumholtz's character) simplifies it for the mathematically jinxed. (That includes me. Sadly.)

(gush, gush, gush) Patrick Dempsey is in my list of the most charming actors I've ever seen. He's got the most adorable disposition, and his smile is a cross between amusement and modesty. If he was really a brain surgeon, I'd let him operate on my brain anytime!!! Grey's Anatomy rocks!!!! His pictures should come with a warning: "images may cause cardiac arrest." Patrick Dempsey's style is laid-back, unassuming, irresistably charming and modest, the kind of guy who's handsome-but-really-doesn't-know-he-is. He's not the typical actor Hollywood hottie. My sis and I went crazy when he appeared as a guest in Ellen DeGeneres show! (I swear he has the stars in his eyes. Hand to God.)

Oh god, it's Valentine's day over here. I see pink and red everywhere, especially balloons, flowers and everything else. It's another Valentine i'll survive. People are coming in the mall by pairs all lovey-dovey, koochie-woochie, kissy-kissy, huggy-wuggy and sweety-weeny. And Hallmark cards are being purchased like mad.
The joy of being single is that I can be completely selfish without worrying what the hell I'll give to another.
I'm not a Valentine scrooge. I just hate it when Valentine's day is commercialized.

I read Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" out of sheer boredom. It totally beats Romeo and Juliet's romance. I love Elizabeth's character coz modern women of today should be smart-alecky like her and not one-track, whirlwind-minded like desperate Juliet. Women in the days of Elizabeth were poised with dignity and courtesy with praiseworthy accomplishments. They just don't grab a love prospect coz he can spout of flowery poetry- they chose men according to his agreeable, amiable personality, politeness, appearance and wealth (of course), and his accomplishments. Juliet is so Elizabethan ages ago (how ironic.)
Elizabeth isn't perfect of course, but that's why I like her. When Mr. Darcy professes his undwindling love for her, Elizabeth-being the most unromantic- refuses his love and picks a fight.
Mr. Darcy isn't a shabby kind of Romeo either. Instead of bursting out in sonnets he goes straight about it to Elizabeth. Thank god. No poetry to decode.
And the most curious thing is he still loves Elizabeth months after their fight. That's love for ya.

Our biochem subject is naturally dull as watching grass grow. Our class just can't get anymore BORING. Then, our teacher grouped us in to two for our debate about cloning.
That's when nonsense started to pour in.
Everyone started asking about cloning possibilities on dinosaurs, significant historical figures and Tom Cruise. Our teacher answered it is very much possible if one is able to get a stem cell from their fragments.
Then one classmate of mine asked if we could clone Jesus. Our religious teacher answered that since Jesus resurrected and didn't leave behind a fragment of DNA, we are unable to do so. (So technically, I guess it means if Jesus didn't resurrect in the first place, we could've had a chance to clone him.) My classmate being a persistent one, she answered that bread symbolized the body of Christ...
Another classmate beat us at it. "Idiot!" she said, "even if you clone bread, it'll still be bread!"
That's another issue we've got to debate about.
