Posters

It's Wednesday already, and I haven't finished my paper for my seminar class yet. The days are moving so fast nowadays. Yesterday, we had our poster presentation for the same class, and I did not know if I have done well. Two of my classmates had their posters as tarpaulin, mine was on an illustration board. How was that? Although my design looks nice, I just feel that I have not given my full effort on this project. Zoe and I were sick last week, and I was not able to work on this assignment during those days. Oh well, it is okay, at least I have submitted a poster.

The infection my baby got from eating ice cream

My baby got sore tonsils last week. I got sick, too, due to lack of enough sleep and stressful school work. Days before she had fever, I brought home some ice cream and ice candies…knowing that she’s expecting some. What I didn’t see coming is this attack on her tonsils. Because she’s not used to cold foods and drinks, once she eats ice cream or the like, she’ll get sick after a day or two. I thought she had outgrown that part, but I was wrong, she has not.

What I learned from this experience is that I should take it slow in letting her eat ice cream and other enjoyable cold treats. Since I’m not giving her such foods before, her system is not used to eating them, and she needs a gradual introduction of them into her body. Noted!

Yesterday, we went to her pediatrician for a check up. Since she doesn’t have fever anymore, only a cough with phlegm, the doctor just gave her Ventolin Expectorant to remove the phlegm. I wish the medicine would take effect right away, so she won’t suffer coughing anymore. It’s disturbing her peaceful sleep.

Today is another Monday, start of a week of work. I just hope everything will go well this week. The Finals week is coming, and this week will be our last meeting for both of my classes. What a fast-paced university life!

Whew! What a week!

My whole week has been so tiring and full of complications. My research on biodiesel is draining my energy. I feel so pressured, especially now that the deadline for the results is near. I just want this research work to be over.

It's Saturday morning, yey! It's time to spend some quality time with my family, my favorite part.

By the way, here's my favorite picture for this week:



Awesome job, Sir Mike!

A long list of things to do

I had my second exam in Inorganic Chemistry today, it was really long!

Today's a very busy day. I called up so many people and went to so many places. I am so tired...

Also today, I just got this news from my thesis adviser that she's going to Australia on April and she'll go back next year. Oh no! I need to finish my research before the term ends! If not, I'll be left hanging on the air, and I don't want that. There's another thing that I'm worried about... I signed up for the Chemistry Congress on April, because my adviser wants me to. I registered today, but I wasn't able to pass the required extended abstract, because I don't have the results yet:( I just hope the technical team of the Chem Congress will give me an extension.

I want to sleep already, it's 12:24 a.m., but just by looking at my long list of things to do, I know sleeping is not a good idea.

Excellent pics of the year 2006

I haven't posted my daily entries last week, for I have been real busy. I've been working on my research on biodiesel. I want to finish it before the term ends.

Anyway, I want to relax right now, before starting on my report. I've cheked my mail, and I saw this greatly captured picture.
Really fascinating, huh?

Zoe's Date of Birth

I'm 23 years old and I have a two year-old baby already! Zoe just turned two last Tuesday, Feb. 13. JE and I didn't go to work that day to be with Zoe the whole day. We went to Mall of Asia, because we haven't been there since the opening day. It's so big! Gigantic mall! We ate pizza together, and later on, we bought petite ice creams for Zoe (Thumbs up).

Zoe's Birthday Party

Zoe will turn 2 years old tomorrow, Feb. 13, but we decided to have the party on the eleventh (yesterday). Last year, we celebrated the party at McDonald's, but the second birthday party was held at our place (it's much cheaper).

It went okay. Most of her cousins in the neighborhood are present. Zoe was obviously happy, for she kept on jumping and smiling. Last year, she was so grumpy, because she didn't take her morning nap. She didn't even have a picture wherein she's smiling. But this year, she didn't take a nap, yet she's still active and ready to party. She's really growing, and that's happening really fast. I feel happy, for I am seeing all her development and growth. There's nothing greater than being a mom to a super cute and sweet baby.
