"What would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?" I DON'T KNOW, SIR.

"Let's try again. Where would you look if I told you to find me a bezoar?" I DON'T KNOW, SIR.

"Thought you wouldn't open a book before coming, eh?"

"What is the difference, between monkshood and wolfsbane?"

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Okay, so, the year of the Fire Dog.. Haha (Hope I'd be luckier this time.. :-) It's the first day of the year and i still have no idea what my resolutions are (or will be) this year.
'Wag na lang kaya? Haha. As if naman magagawa ko yun.. But I'll try. Despite all the stuff, it's torture time once again! Why? Because...
Ay nako pasukan na naman. at napakadami kong exams. Whew. What a 'wonderful' way to start my year (and my friends', too) Haha. Kaya, kopyahan na! Bahala na nga. Pati yung reviewer ko sa chemistry di ko pa tapos. At yung nirerewrite kong lecture notes unfinished pa din.
But anyway, i think i can still squeeze in these unfinished businesses on my schedule this week. Maybe Wednesday (kung walang exam). Hay sana nga wala. Hmm pero parang meron..? Whatever. Bahala na ulit. Haha.
Oops. Lots of things to do.
