Getting busy again...

Hi everyone, after relaxing and doing absolutely nothing for the first two weeks of school, karma has finally come around and is kicking me hard. Have two quizzes and 1 midterm next week... not to mention a final project and a take-home midterm that are due soon. (don't be fooled by "take-home", it usually means harder and more time-consuming)




Anyways... I volunteered at the exotic animal department of our teaching hospital. I had to wake up at 6am every single day, but it's totally worth it. I got to tube feed a tortoise, give subcutaneous fluids and injections to a guinea pig, administer meds and enema to a cockatoo, give subcutaneous fluid to a red tail hawk, and prepare food for a golden eagle!!!!! Jealous? hehehe..... It seems so fun to be able to treat such a large variety of species, but it will take a lot of experience and knowledge to know what are the unique characteristics and needs of each specie.



I also got to gave a horse a injection via IV cather and an intramuscular shot of Pro-Pen-G. Giving the shot alone was scary enough since I had to stand right next to the most powerful part of horse - the hind legs, but I didn't learn until later that giving penicillin G procaine shots can be extremely dangerous. Procain can go into the small capillaries, go back to the heart, and go straight to the brain where it can cause adverse reaction. Horses can act really hysterial for some time, like kicking around and jumping. They get so hyperexcited that they can fall and break their own legs..... so let's try not to imagine what the horse could have done to a human like me. So phew... I'm glad I successfully gave IM shot to a horse for the first time and walked out of that stall safely.






Needless to say, I'm so enjoying vet school right now. There are some classes that are heh... but overall, I'm falling in love with it more and more. I think I found my soul mate. LOL.







Anyways.... I did a 40 beauty question tag today. Feel free to do one yourself and I really want to hear everyone else's answers.










Still really liking the circle lenses I got few weeks ago. The blue is so rich and mysterious.























Alright, that's it for now..... Gotta catch up on school work. =)

FOTD and a little update

I'm so lazy at updating this blog, it's not even funny.....






Anyways... this quarter started out as pretty intense. But I'm still in Winter Break Mood.... and I'm losing my motivation to study..... I really should push myself harder.













Here is a FOTD I did a few days a go.... I'm wearing the Geo World Series - Green circle lens from lenscircle.com. I'm not a huge fan of the color "green", but this color definitely stands out. Love it!

Oh, why am I doing the sad face??? I went to ice skating with my friends during the Martin Luther King long weekend. I've only ice skated once before with the help of my friend. And I consider myself as extremely uncoordinated due to my long limbs..... On the way, all my friends were telling me how they are not very good at it. As soon as we walked into the ice skating place, they started skating right away and just disappeared. Meanwhile, I was holding onto the wall and trying to balance myself.











So as a result..... I fell 5 times, and I mean I fell hard!!! My friend was holding onto my hands to keep me balanced. Everytime I'm about to fall, I feel really bad dragging her down as well (which would have been so easy since she's a lot smaller than me), so I diverted my weight away from my hands, and landed on my knees all 5 times. By the 2nd time, it already felt like the skin around my knees were all wide open. I had so much ice on my knee area.... Although I got up just fine, it hurt so much to bend my knees that I just couldn't really enjoy the rest of the time skating. Man, it was embarrassing.













After I went home, I checked my knees. Didn't break any skin! But swollen and red as hell..... I iced it for the whole night.... but here is how my knees look like the day after.....

Brutal, right?

Do you know why bruises have different coloration?

1st - Red - due to oxygenated hemoglobin

Then... - Blue - due to deoxygenated hemoglobin

Then... - Green - due to biliverdin

Then... - Yellow - due to bilirubin (the same compound that stains our pee and poop yellow ;P)

Finally... -Golden-brown - due to hemosiderin

So age the bruise please! Ok... that was random













Btw, I just saw Avatar yesterday, yeah I know, talking about falling behind. It's awesome!!!! Best 2hr and 30 minutes ever!!! Totally see why everyone is raving about it!!! I love how the storyline emphasized on loving the mother nature and bonding with the animals. Also the theme of big corporation taking over smaller businesses...... The plot may be a little cliche.... but you can really feel the amt of effort the crew put in to make Pandora seem as realistic as possible. I was watching a video clip of how they filmed it..... the kind of technology is just insane..... Anyways.... I kind of wish that they will make a sequel.... but I guess it'll be kinda hard with the ending.

Oh well.... gotta go study some more medicine....

I tried on the grey lenses today. They are much more subtle, but still visible under strong natural light and flash light. I like how the lenses are really glossy and make your eyes reflect light. Here are some cam whore pictures...

2nd time is always better!

I was trying on my circle lenses from lenscircle.com few days ago. Since this is like my very first time putting on lenses, I had such a difficult time. And I have to say I was a little intimidated by how long it took me to even put on one lens. But I'm glad that I tried again today. It was soooo much easier this time. The lens popped into my right eye in like in 3 seconds. I was shocked!!!






haha.... needless to say, I felt so pretty after I successfully put in lenses to both eyes. I envy girls who have natural hazel/green/blue eyes. Not that brown eyes are not pretty..... different colors just make you feel so.... exotic! haha.....
