Damn you Pharmacology!!! Damn you! You fry my brain.

Just came back from a group study with friends. Hope to get a very high score on the exam tomorrow or back to study alone.

Nice to see you active again, peace and happieness.

Went to the club last night. Had so much fun dancing.

Hi bong. how long have u been? miss ya..

Stop by to see my nephew today. I'm very thrilled to hear that he can count 1-10 and speak some phrases in Khmer. He speak Khmer with an American accent which I found it to be very cute.

Got a freakin' shot today. So painful. Love giving shots to others but hate being the one that getting the shot.

My hotties, TaeYang

Our goal to spend $400 a month on food is looking great. Almost the end of the month and we have spent $235 on food. Hey B, u r right about the mcChicken. It's Delicious and only $1.

Hey Channa, how are you? How's school these day? I hope all is well.

Like to move to this song.

Cambodia's National Animal is "Real", Stday says. A recent gentic analysis of a Cambodian ox called a kouprey matches fossil evidence tha proves Cambodia's national animal is indeed it's own species. The latest study joins a growing body of evidence showing that the kouprey (pronounced "ko-prah") is not a hybrid between two related species of ox, the banteng and zebu, aswas previously suggested. French evolutionary biologists lexandre Hassanin and Anne Ropiquet at the National Museum of Natural History in Paris, France, sequenced kouprey DNA and compared it to hat of related wild and domestic oxen spcies. There are two types of DNA in a cell; nuclear DNA and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Nuclear DNA is a combination of maternally and paternally inherited genes, and mtDNA is inherited exclusively from the mother. Hassanin analyzed both types of DNA in the new study. "These molecular data allow us to study the evolutionary history of both paternal and mitochondrial lineages," he wrote by email from Vietnam. If the kouprey is a hybrid of its close oxen relatives, its nucear genes would have beena combnation of the tw hypothetical parent species,. Instead Hassanin found that the kouprey's nuclear sequences differed from those of banteng and zebu. Our interpretations are therefore that the kouprey is a real wild secies, different from all oher wild oxen, wrote Hassanin. The study will appear in the issue of the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B. Disappeaing National Icon. The kouprey, which resembles a dark-cated ox with massive, crling horns, was first recognized s a species in 1937. In 1960 Canbodia made it the national symbol.But habitat destructionand hunting tok its toll, and many experts believe the last scientific observation of the animal in thewild was in 1957. "I cannot imagine hat if there were any kouprey left today we wouldn't beaware of them," said Gary J. Galbreath, an evolutionary biologist at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, who was not involved in the study. In 1961 German zoologist Herwart Bohlken suggested that thekouprey might be a hybrid population f the banteng and zebu because of similarities between the animals' skulls. Galbreath and his colleages tested that hypothesis in 2006 Journal of Zoology study by camparing kouprey and banteng mtDNA. If the hybridization hypothesis was correct, the mtDA of both animals wouldbe similar. We ran the DNA, and lo and behold, our prediction was correct," Galbreath said. "We now know that this [new study] is Murph's law in action, but at the same time it seemed very convincing." But that december a fossil kouprey skull, discribed by THai scientsts Chavalit Vithayanon and Naris Bhumpakphan in 2004, came to Galbreath's attention. The skll possibly dated bak to the late Pleistocene or early Holocene epoch, about 125, 000 to 5000 years ago. "You can't have a fossil kouprey if the kouprey is a ecent hybrid," he said. Galbreath and his colleagues formally rescinded their previous view that the kouprey was a hybrid in the March 2007 Journal of Zooloy. Given that the kouprey was its own species after all, the question remained, how did it com to share mtDNA wit the banteng? The gentic data published by Hassanin and Ropiqet suggest that at some point in the Pleistocene, a female kouprey and male ancestor of today's banteng mated, and that this coupling occured at least once. Somewhat their offspring spread is maternally inherited kouprey mitchondrial DNA throughout the banteng population. The artifact of this ancient hybridization event is that banteng carry kouprey mtDNA.

Stressing out. Physically tired and exhausted.

Goal for this month is to stay within 400 on food for 2 people. I know we can do it J :) McDonald $1 menu for lunch and dinner.

TaeYang, as always so hot.

I'm pissed. I'm enraged. Where is the justice? Wasting millions of dollars and times for a 35 years verdict. What a f-ing joke!

Going to the pool tomorrow. Hoping that this time around I will learn how to swim. If I have to get all tan and burn under the hot and sunny sun so be it!!

The presentation went great. It was WOW and hahahah....The instructor and the class love it.We got 100%!!!! Super super happy :)

Group presentation tomorrow.Little nervous.
