I just can't forget how you looked like after spending over an hour in Bass Pro Shop following your girl, who was shopping on a bicycle, and cheering her up!

It was 11:30 PM on Wednesday night last week.

Is this considered a self-portrait?

okayyy…one test is down!!!

one more to go tmr.

good news: all botany class's students don't have to go to class on Thu. we'll go to the U.S Botanic Garden instead. yayyy!

i getto admit that i'm super excited for this field trip. if you're my homie, you'll know how much i love botanic illustration as well as microbiology, which requires you work with microscope, slides, and cells all the time! :]

nothing is more interesting than looking at a cell/ root/ stem/ leaf with all the tissues thru a compound microscope then draw down what you see from the slide on a paper. though sometimes you have to stain a tissue to make it stand out, this process just makes your tissue look much more awesome!

Staining takes your time.

And if you're not a clever person, you may screw up the whole slide and have to prepare another one. Cutting or peeling a piece of tissue also challenges you. But when you get familiar with all the process, you'd rather pick up every single living organism out there, put it on your slide, and experiment every details.

i'm not sure if i have ever told you that i started to think about the relationship of photography and microbiology… every time i see a cell/ bacteria/ fungi figure in my book, i'm like: "damn, how could they make it incredibly beautiful and obvious like this?"

:]

i'll definitely show you how wonderful those tiny things look like as soon as i get a compound microscope.

i promise!

:D

• A long and hard weekend with essay, review, and homework is expected to come up: paper for history class, quiz for botany class, and homework for chemistry class.
• In the middle of the week, we'll have a field trip to National Botanic Garden in DC. Yayyy! Sounds like a short break before a heavy Friday with Chem. lecture and lab (actually every Fri. is a heavy one!)
• The weather just gets worse and worse over time. It was 28 degrees last night with light snow. Today it's going up a lil' bit to 30 degrees, plus winds! Putting sodium chloride on the roads helps melting the ice, but it also makes the environment suck-er. I learned this from Dr. Burton, my CHM112 instructor. LOL
• Brrrrrr… I think I may move to somewhere warmer (Corona Del Mar?); or I need a North Face tri-climate jacket if I plan to be a Virginian for the next 5 -10 years.

Dear Hippo,

Have you ever thought

Someday you'll have a profile picture looks like this,

Which is photographed,developed, enlarged, processed, and hand-finished by your wife?

I've been spending a lot of time hanging out and traveling with this super-nice guy since 2002. There are 2 more weeks 'til our 9th Valentine's Day… and I realize that I'm still TRULLY, MADLY, DEEPLY in love with him!
