The Sports Fest So Far
I was supposed to play soccer because I'm getting tired of my lack of skill in basketball. But then again, I realized I will be completely useless to the team (composed of one section from each of the 4 year levels), will burn under the sun (not that I mind it that much), contribute to the team's loss, have virtually no experience in soccer (except for kicking offensive people, if that's included), and have I mentioned I'm completely useless out there in the field? So, I sticked with soccer and Kaye had to play in two events, basketball and soccer, since she kinda replaced me. I'm sorry Kaye, I think you enjoy soccer anyway :D hehehe
We lost against Gluon because of a mistake in the 1st quarter line up (I'm now talking about basketball). We lost by 2 points. The next game, we won by 18 points (18-0). Tomorrow we'll be playing against Charm, the best section in our bracket. Of course, Ange, my dear friend, is there. hehehe If we're not playing we're either bumming around, taking out lunch or, most of the time, cheering for our house-mates in other events. It's been fun watching the guy's basketball team play. Their record's 2-0 so far. It's fun to cheer and scream like a crazy, bleeding truck driver... uhm, no, not me. That's Marvin. Again. It's fun to cheer and scream like a crazy, bleeding die-hard fan. Yeah. That's it. Although I am not even a fan of the sport.
Today, I took some photos of the girls' soccer team as they played. Then up we went to our basketball game after that. JF, a junior, along with the other juniors were asking for somebody who has a camera to take a photo of their backs aligned... they were sitting down in a line arranged by their jersey numbers. Pretty amusing, the numbers were 33, 44, 55, 66, 66, 77, 88, 99. As I was about to take the shot... guess what. My battery died. I ran out of friggin battery! This is the 2nd time I have been restrained from taking photos due to effin' DEAD BATTERIES. I hate you batteries. I hate you.
Went to NSRI around 4:00 to pick up my cytotoxicity testing results and analysis. The cassava extract with linamarin did kill the cells. In fact, at 100% concentration it annihilated the leukemic cells and blasted them to bits. The 1% concentration was the only one that produced a blue bloated dead cell though. And it only produced one out of the approx 200 live cells (killed about 4.33 cells). As for the 100% concentration, only 2.33 cells, TWO POINT THIRTY THREE!, from an average of 194.66 were lucky to survive the rampaging wrath of my linamarin/cassava leaf extracts. HAHAHAHAHA Wait. Either you don't understand me or you don't care. Moving on...
So. We'll be playing basketball against Charm tomorrow, not too hot about the game, and I'm applying online to University of Southern California at the moment. At about 5:00pm I checked my email by the time I got home and just remembered through an e-mail from Ms. Mila at PAEF that today is the Linden Fair of US colleges and unis at Manila Penninsula Hotel. I totally forgot. Well, can't be bothered to run all the way to Ayala so I called up a few friends and asked them to check the University of Hawaii at Manoa booth for me.
I hope Dixi and I can continue our trek through gasoline stations and wet markets along Commonwealth Avenue to get material for our supposed collaboration (a photoessay/photocollection) that we WANT tog et published as a book. Too ambitious? Well anything is possible if you just try to do something and talk to the correct people. haha
As I was riding home today I just realized that it'd be hard to take photos and interview people in the wet markets. Gasoline stations would be out best bet. And to think that I wanted the two of us to go into the squater areas. It is highly posisble after all to get stabbed in those places in broad daylight... Now I'm thinking we could get stabbed in the wet markets too. Or probably get beaten 'til bruised and bloody by rotten eggplants.
