I'm an Alephant.

Hallo. I'm Ale, and I'm not an elephant. I sometimes wish I were, though. I reblog at http://andyourcapitalletters.tumblr.com/.

Nag-aayos ako ng undergrad files ko, tapos nakita ko 'to. Dumadaan pa rin naman ako sa campus (medyo madalas nga e, haha), pero iba pa rin talaga kapag estudyante ka pa. Hay, nakaka-miss.

mistertambourineman replied to your video: We all knew it was going to happen; we just didn’t...

OMG I have a similar post I wrote last week :)))))))

But didn't post until now. I win.

We all knew it was going to happen; we just didn't want it to happen so soon, if not at all. I realize now that last Monday marked the end of something, and that it doesn't matter how many times we say we'll keep in touch. As cliche as it sounds, we will go our separate ways (we probably already have) and things will change. It's ka. All we can hope for is that most of those changes will be for the better, and that those changes that aren't for the better are changes that we'll be able to handle.

P.S. In the movie, the Muppets eventually end up together again. Maybe we will, too.

P.P.S. Do try to keep in touch or I will end you.

This has been playing in my head since Day 1 of my 11-day fieldwork and I have no idea why. I'm not complaining, though.

I'll probably make a more ~*in-depth*~ post about said fieldwork later; the experience, I think, is something worth sharing.

It's been a week since I graduated from college, and only now do I realize that I have no concrete plan on what to do with my life. But before the panic sets in and messes up my mind completely, here's a simple note to everyone that made my stay in the university life-changing. A lot of things can be said about my journey through college, but I think the only important thing to say is that I would not have been able to come out of it alive if it weren't for the people who were with me from the start and those I've met along the way. I am and always will be grateful.

My Ho Chi Minh to Phnom Penh bus ticket. The English isn't exactly great, but at least it made the first 3 minutes of the 6-hour trip more amusing.

The menu said this was "special chicken pho" but I could have sworn I saw a frog gastrocnemius (based on the numerous experiments in Animal Physio, haha) in it. Wasn't able to take a picture of the muscle since I ate it as soon as I saw it, though. Still, that was some really yummy pho.

Went on a 3-day trip to Saigon and Phnom Penh

but couldn't feel too happy about it because of the dementor that is my thesis.

Will post a few pics from my trip in a few since 1) I've already passed my first draft, and 2) I need a bit of reminding.

A ~*relaxing*~ song for the stressful week ahead

[aliling-blog]

Christie, M.A., McCarley, R.W., and Strecker, R.E. (2010). Twenty-four hours, or five days, of continuous sleep deprivation or experimental sleep fragmentation do not alter thirst or motivation for water reward in rats. Behavioral Brain Research. 214: 180-186.

This explains a lot.

The original (and definitely the better) Y.O.L.O.

Never thought I'd say this, but right now I'd rather work on my thesis than study for my animal physio exam.

Colors make everything, and I mean everything, interesting.

(I have 4 different highlighters in my pencil case, actually)

Took me long enough. Here's to even more sleepless nights and less productivity (oh wait...).
