Okay. 3rd Year College. Sometimes, I just can’t believe that I’ve been this far like who the heck would expect that I will survive this pre-med course for three years?! I mean, maybe some people would say that “It’s just Bio, you just have to memorize then you will pass”. No, it’s not. Bio is like finding solutions to save the world. And most people doesn’t realize that.

3rd Year. Old friends but new lessons. That excites me. We have this Genetics subject that I love the most because chromosomes, DNA and whatsoever are my loves. Also the Philippine Literature which I love too because I am a fan of eveything about the Philippines especially the lit and culture thingy. But I’m kinda sad because the person on that photo above is not my classmate anymore. On our 3rd year, we are given the privilege to choose what subjects we want to take so Adrian, who loves zoology a lot, need to take the schedule of the other Block to attend her zoology class without any conflicts on other subjects sooo.. goodbye for now Eyd. And I decided to take Protozoology because that’s close to med and I like little organisms and the lab sooo..

Hopefully, this year would be okay. I pray that our endless Journal readings and writings and Special problems would be all successful :))

Daragang Magayon Festival 2014

Did i ever blogged about Magayon Festival before? Haha Oh sorry. I’m just too lazy to scan my previous post. Let’s assume that I told you something about it before and now I’m gonna blog about it once again.

Daragang Magayon Festival, formerly Magayon Festival, so they basically just add another first name or whatsoever (because i guess the”Daraga” word describes “Magayon” who is a major character on the story),was one of the grandest festival here in the Bicol Region that showcases Bicolano cultures. It was like a reunion of all the festivals in Bicol – Ibalong, Cagsawa, Himag-Ulaw, Tabak, Sugok-sugok, Voyadores and many more. On this time, if you are really a fan of history, cultures, arts, music and festivals, I’m pretty sure you’ll gonna love to be here.

Festival Queen

Magayon, Masaraga and Malinao

Pinayasan Festival of Daet, Camarines Sur.. Also the 2nd placer..

And because its raining that hard, I have no choice but to do some focusing stuffs to at least get a picture of these amazing kids from Himag Ulaw Festival

Pinaysan.. Sorry the photos were not arranged 🙂

Yeah raining

I became an instant fan of the Himag Ulaw festival because aside from their performance, which is so amazing, I just love the way they carry out everything. Knowing that the dancers were all kids and the propsmen are their parents, wow. That’s just amazing.. AND just being the way they are makes me like them more :))

This is our night that will soon be memory.

Exploring Sorsogon – Brgy. Diamante, Prieto Diaz

This trip to Prieto Diaz really helped me appreciate the beauty of underwater world. The diversity of organisms living on this place made me realize that the wonders of life really comes on different perspective.

For us biology students, Barangay Diamante, Prieto Diaz, Sorsogon is known as a venue for most of our field study adventure because the place is well known for its biodiversity-rich area.

My team was assigned to study and assess the diversity of Class Echinoderms, which is really very diverse on that place. Most of the organisms we got are sea urchins, star fishes, sea cucumbers and so on. I really had a lot of fun during our work. I guess we are the luckiest team because we were able to experience everything especially the place where we need to conduct our sampling; the sea grass area, the sand area, the corals, and most of the diving sites. At first, we were really afraid to dive and do the task. Well, aside from the fear of what is underwater that we don’t know, we had a hard time constructing our line transect, which is a very important method in conducting our study. But thanks to the very active and supportive staffs of the SEAMANCOR and also to our professors who really made efforts in helping us during the hard times.

Lesson learned: It’s good that you have a DSLR camera but it’s better if you also have an underwater camera. For this trip, i failed to bring one, Uh! Failed to take good photos of the underwater world.

Sci-Tech Fair

Bicol University College of Science on its annual Science and Technology Fair. This event showcases different activities that you will surely enjoy and at the same time you will learn a lot of knowledge from different fields of science.

We were assigned to conduct a Bio Exhibit and share everything we have learned in Biology.

Rosa was the one who explained everything under the microscopes and obviously, she’s having fun 😀

We have a section there where you can extract your DNA through a simple method and almost everyone were amazed because it’s really AMAZING Hahaha and Rosa is pagulo again..

Improvised microscope..

Another part of our exhibit was the Biodiversity room where you can find different preserved and alive organisms.

Meanwhile in the microscopy room…

Pupils of Cabangan Elementary School. One of the best part for me.. I love kids and i love their curiosity and innocence 😀

Haggard people.. With Eyd and Cyin

Scientia people..

Scientia (official pub of BUCS) conducted an event where students from other campuses can showcase their talents on doodle making, poster making, essay writing, story making and so on..

Katakawan sa McDo foods.. Na stolen tuloy :D.. Enjoyed the sci-tech days, over-all.

Pyramid of Bicol University and pyramid of Albay..

I guess, BU will not be such without this view of Mayon Volcano.
