It's been weeks since I've logged on to Medicalnewstoday to yknw, enrich and familiarise myself with the medical world and all the bombastic, esoteric medical terms, so that I'll be fully prepared for my "journey to become a doctor". Sigh, why didn't I pick an easier subject to tackle ? Answer: Too late to turn back now and besides, there's probably no other subjects that intrigues me as much as medicine does BUT, but, Medicine is a BROAD Term just like how LOVE is a big word. Hence, I truly admire people who can say, without any inhibitions, that they love medicine & doctors who truly have passion for their career. Can you imagine how much they must give in order to fill ? I'm getting dizzy.
So anyway. top on today's medical news is that smart scientists apparently found a way to manipulate the genes of old people by using two correlative mechanisms to prevent the slow down of CMA (Chaperone-mediated Autophagy) -I have seriously no idea what the hell is that but I suppose its something to do with cellular proteins in the body (shrugs)- hence, allowing organs to remain young and active even at old age. It's like when you're 88, you will still be having a lung/liver/kidney of an 8-year-old. How cool is that ! But hopefully, that doesn't apply to the brain or the heart. Can you imagine !
Okay so anyway, new discovery :] Not Human-test yet, of course like duhhhh, but it was tested on mice and results are positive.
Alright, I've been slacking for 1.5 weeks so far doing nothing which is related to school, work or homework but I had a great time :] (See.. no school + no homework + no work = Having a great time) Tell me who disagrees man. So anyhow, Regina came over last Monday and she stayed for 3 nights. I had a great time with her, the company was fabulous :] So we shared a lot and got to know each other so much better and poof, she's gone already hahahahha. No pictures taken cause we were both camera-less. Thursday was catching up session with Krislyn which is indubitably, by longest friend ever. Lets count: K2, P1-6, S1-4 & JC1 that adds up to...TWELVE YEARS. Omg, even longer than Twinnie. So anyway, I really missed my longest friend ): We walked like almost the whole of town, talking, laughing, just like those days. Oh and we met really weird homosapians which are, although nothing compared to those met in UK, truly bizarre. Friday was BTS with Loulou, a failed attempt to watch the school's national day celebration cause they didn't have one -.-. Then zoomed down to vivo to get my Bimbo's sexyseventeenth birthday present. Three words: Walked A Lot.
Miss Sexy Seventeen of the Year :) Okay to be really clear, my Bim's birthday is on the 8 of August (She's an olympic baby !) Hahahah I think our celebration made people think that she's a National Day Baby. Pictures from Lou :]
Lou the lazy girl didn't upload the whole album ):
Follow up later :D
