In the lab

I thought we will have a social Christmas break this year but I don’t think we will have such holiday this month. Our microbiology teacher gave us an activity to perform while in festive season of sharing and loving of Christmas. He gave us an activity that involves controlling at or near ambient, and analog stirring hot plates. The activity requires us to use a Lab Incubator which has a chilling and heating capability that will satisfy the requirements of the activity. It is sad that, I will spend two-thirds of my Christmas festival in the laboratory while my friends are spending their holidays in upholding the story of nativity and in celebrating the year of the earth rat.

extension

Last week my father reconstructed our house. An extension adjacent to my room was built. A reading room was also added in our house for the benefit of my father and will serve also as storage for his accounting files. Mother was very happy because my father built an extra room for guess but though it made the area in our lot less spacious, we are still comfortable with the annex constructed. Father said that it would be better if our house will be extended to accommodate more people inside and to provide comfort to the members of the family. Maybe my father was inspired by the American Home Shield articles he have had read last week. Wow! It really pays to be a wide reader. I must follow dad’s hobby. And by the way, we have a new dog in the house. My nephew named it Niko , a Japanese spitz.

green thumb

I decided to be green just now! I have this immediate yearn to hold the coarse grain of dirt and be just with nature. With our newly renovated home, a space for a garden seems so promising for True green plants. While my mom is so excited to redecorate our home, I borrowed some of her gardening tools. I planted rows of tomato and cabbage. After hours of digging and weeding, I got so tired but so fulfilled just looking at my new vegetable garden. I wonder when will my harvest time be. I just hope I have a green thumb.

my fear

I was playing with Niko, my new pet dog, when I felt a sudden tinge of fear - I saw eight live ticks around my puppy’s neck. No wonder my poor pet always scratch its neck and yelp in discomfort. Pests are really “pain in the neck”. I remember my mom would rise into commotion every time a cockroach crawls down from our ceiling. One time I do net surfing regarding pests – termites, wasps, ticks, I happen to came across with Terminix , the pest buster. It permanently terminates pests and ensures that such colony will never show up in your homes again. As for my Niko, my mom promised me that she’d cure Niko with her special concoction.

at the moment

*** For a more maturity reason, how do we maintain and keep a good lasting relationship? It's hard to keep a relationship and it's hurting when one gave up and let go the other. I know you know what I'm talking. It's hard when you're existing and everything seems to be the end. Distance. It's actually the most common problem one encounters, may it be from love or from a mere friendship especially in teenage years. It's also one of the primary reasons why one forgets until the relationship goes back to a single hi hello relationship. It's sad but it really happens. I hope this would not happen to me. *** For a long time until now, I really feel homeless. Yes, I may have family but I don't really feel I belong. I apologize but I don't really mean to feel this way. The habitation is calm and yet I simply find it hard to come across with silence. At the moment, I already have the idea of giving up everything. Maybe it's about time to give somethi...
