yay. research proposal accepted

-->

Yay. I'm so happy because my research proposal is accepted.

My intended research is about pregnancy and the risk of getting breast cancer in women. The proposal presentation went really well.

I was asked to explain how do I think that pregnancy can actually offers any protection from breast cancer. I gave two reasons to support my hypothesis. One is that pregnancy will decrease the time of oestrogen exposure in women by decreasing the number of total menstrual cycle a woman can have. And the other one is that hmm.. the breast is immature from 1st menstrual cycle to the 1st pregnancy (even though complete development accurs during puberty.

Then one of the examiners asked how can I say so. Then i said, this is because the function of the breast itself. It is not just as an accessory to attract sexual partner (which these days we could safely say could be of either gender). But also to produce milk for the baby. ( i wrongly translated accessory as hiasan in Indonesian which caused everyone to laugh)

Then the examiner cracked a joke. By asking me, so it’s for the baby not for the husband then? And I said, well to be honest it’s for both. Because without the husband, i don't think the mother will be able to get pregnant by herself. Haha. And everybody laughed.

the best birthday present ever!

Now I am 23 years old. One year older than a week ago.

And it was my best birthday ever. My first time celebrating birthday as a someone's boyfriend. :)

Actually my friends already celebrated my birthday 1 week earlier, together with my other two friends who were also born in this month. We went karaoke. It was so much fun!

Me and her, we sang the titanic song~

A few days ago, on my birthday, my girlfriend and I went out to Sun Plaza for dinner. Even though it was raining, she didn't mine of sticking to the plan. I was so happy. And what made me even more happier is the fact that she didn't go to her aikido class that night. It makes me feel special and also stupid for thinking thinking that she cares more about her aikido than me. haha

And she gave me the best present ever. It's a book.

To be honest, I already got my bestest birthday's present ever. ever! and it's her herself~

I love her!

this is funny

A few days ago after I posted my previous post, my girlfriend and I, we went to see a movie. Then on our way to get there, when we're actually on a beca, I asked her what she thinks about my blog.

And she said: "lots of grammatical mistakes".

haha!!

she's my girlfriend now!

Guys guys, I have  good news to tell. At least for me haha.

Last night, I told the girl, which I have been crazy over for the last few months, about this blog.



And I had to tell her about this blog that because.. wait for it, she is officially my girlfriend now :)

After have been very close to her for quite sometimes, we’re finally officially (?) in a special relationship, starting 22nd of March 2009. And I was the happiest man that evening to learn that she said yes to my question whether she would like to be my girlfriend. And still am happy till now. I am glad and thankful and humbled by this. And I am so lucky too.

Lucky indeed! To have her as my girlfriend. She is my first girlfriend and my last. Hopefully we will spend the rest of our life together.

Thanks to God!
