Write Drunk, Edit Sober

I think of all the subjects we're learning this year, Anatomy's on the top of my favourites list. We've almost covered all the systems. Currently about to finish the brain. Today's lecture was about the cerebrum and its different areas. Ten areas but we need only remember three. One area we studied today was the sensory speech area; which analyzes information in reference to all past memories and allows us to speak, read and understand what is being said by others. And immediately it got me thinking about one of the episodes on Grey's Anatomy - If Tomorrow Never Comes; Where this guy with Parkinson's becomes a candidate for Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery and has to be awake throughout the procedure so that Sheperd'll know what areas he's hit if anything goes wrong. At one point I remember the guy not being able to speak coz Sheperd touched some area which was responsible for speech. And this was it! It was the sensory speech area. I've been

A friend of mine had to attend her uncle's son's birthday party in McDonald's early this evening so I followed her, together with another friend.

The whole point is to REMEMBER what we study. But this man, this man w

I woke up with a purpose last Saturday (with the help of my alarm clock, that wretched thing); to take some shots of the new house for my friends to see.  The kitchen area. The design of the house is rather unconventional. Kitchen is right in front whereas the hall is further in the house. American design, apparently. Not very popular with the local crowd, but it's much more convenient. Instead of walking all the back to the kitchen with the groceries etc, all you have to do is walk into the side door from the front porch and you're in the kitchen.  The foyer.  The main door. Dad brought back all these wood pieces from Cambodia last year and had the door custom made.  The dry kitchen & dining area.  The hall.  The hall upstairs.  My sister's room.  The view from my parents room.  My room.  The front porch.  The outside.  The patio. My parents room. Which also has a walk-in wardrobe but
