Haha. It's the Philippines. Christmas is always the most anticipated time of the year. Why? We students get more sleep during Christmas breaks (or we get even less sleeping time though what keep us up are things that we so love doing). We get to eat a lot without ever feeling the slightest guilt. We get to go home to our love ones. Or they come to us. And there are the gifts. Ah, the gifts.

Oh no. I promised myself not to do a Christmas post before December, but here I am, typing away. Maybe it's because nothing says "Merry Christmas" better that a huge tarpaulin sign for "Vagina Repair" with red Christmas lights around its perimeter, joyfully singing "Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer."

I am infected with the Maui virus. Blech. Of all people.

My iPod is now encased in plastic. All thanks to the half-off sale due to the arrival of the new iPods. Eck.

Nat Sci 5 exams are always sabaw. I always prepare for the items that NEVER come out. And the ones I skip are, well, there. Le sigh.

Anyway, the iMed people, as early as Now, have picked their beneficiaries for the Christmas season. No, I'm not talking about charities or some such benevolent venues. Our beneficiaries are, obviously, ourselves.

This morning-slash-afternoon when we did an experiment dealing with fishes and their environment's carbon dioxide level to monitor their respiratory-and-nervous functions, one set-up made us laugh and scream and wonder. One fishy gave friggin' birth. We put two fishies and we ended up with six of the little 'uns. Where the hell did they come from? They don't do the live birth stuff so the mommy fish couldn't have been typically pregnant. They lay eggs, don't they? So external fertilization only took about 20-30 minutes to make new fishies? Where where where?

That was very creepy.

Anyway. Christmas is here. And NBS is taking advantage of it. I wonder. How many trees have they sold...?
