Bakit Nga Ba?

Here are some questions that UST College of Science students and YOU have been pondering on your own. Ayaw niyo i-share e baka pagtawanan kayo ng mga blockmates/classmates niyo. Go ahead and laugh...ready?

Bakit ang mga estudyante hindi puwedeng mag-text sa klase? Pero bakit ang prof kahit sa kalagitnaan ng discussion eh puwedeng tumanggap ng incoming call?

Bakit ang staff ng McDonald's kuripot magbigay ng ketchup?

Bakit ang pagkain mas masarap kapag may ka-share o kaya naman ay yung classmate mo ung bumili at nakikihingi ka lang?

Bakit ang comfort rooms dito sa 3rd floor palaging nililinis sa mga oras na ihing-ihi ka na?

Bakit si Kris Aquino madaldal?

Bakit yung seatmate mo na nangopya sa iyo nung prelims eh mas marami pang tamang sagot kaysa sa iyo?

Bakit si Winnie the Pooh walang underpants?

Bakit ang mga seniors nagpapalitan pa ng grad pic eh lahat naman sila ay may picture sa yearbook?

Bakit karamihan sa mga gwapo, bading?

Bakit kapag bumibili ka, ang tawag mo sa nagtitinda ay "ate" o "kuya", pero pag jeepney driver tawag mo "manong?"

Bakit ang estudyante puwedeng ma-FA (failure due to absences) pero ang prof hindi?

Bakit ka nagpapa-photocopy kung hindi mo naman binabasa yung pina-xerox mo? Pinayayaman mo lang si ate sa xeroxan eh.

Bakit ang mga babae pinipilit mag-stiletto kahit na mapuno ng band aid ang kanilang mga paa?

Bakit si Mickey Mouse at Donald Duck magkasing-laki lang? Nakakita ka na ba ng magkasing-laking daga at bibe?

Bakit kapag nag-subscribe ka sa free ringtone, nababawasan pa rin load mo?

Bakit maraming hindi may alam ng ibig sabihin ng Ped Xing?


These are all taken from the UST-CSJ Momentong magazine. Momentong is a magazine of everything happening in the College of Science--spoof style. Includes your professors' favorite lines and expressions. Science students need some laughter time too. =D

Celebration

My hands are now marred with little cuts and chemical contaminations. Imagine getting cut by sharp glassware and getting your fingers covered in Prussian blue (an inorganic dye that is insoluble in water--READ: hard to rinse away) for weeks. The only consolation I could get is that, finally, Science Week is over and that it is successful.

A lot of schools came by UST and experienced magic shows, makeup pigments, soap-making, and other exhibits by the other courses of the College of Science. The other courses' exhibits were game-like; the Chemistry Department's exhibits were all serious (aside from Chem Magic).

Accidents I got during the duration of the Science Week? A lot. I got sodium hydroxide burns in my palms, inhaled NaOH fumes, broke glassware, cut myself, and coughed a lot. Surely, a chemist's life is full of injuries. Hahaha. Frustrating parts...hmm, a lot too. Hello? Who wouldn't get frustrated when you have some asinine mates who don't know a thing about their topics?

ARGH!

The fun part of the week: practices for the variety show. Our play was Beauty and the Beast and we came second place. Biology came in first because of their big big big big audience. How unfair is that? HALF of the whole population of the chemistry students were in that play. Who's left in the audience to cheer for us?

The professors were game. They all looked beautiful and handsome in their formal wear. Dr. Sevilla was really funny. He marched with us during the Kill the Beast scene and all you can hear from the audience were cheers for the Dean.

After placing second, the Chemistry Department threw a bash. Guess where we ate? We broke the rules by eating inside the instrument room (where all the machines are in). Soda, pansit, pizza, picture taking. We were all very goofy.
