i hate cells!

August 15,2008

After series of tests, I really thought that our experimentation will be done today. We even brought a roll of cake in the laboratory for we really thought that it will be finished today. At roughly 1:00 PM, we just stared at each other, talked stories, computed for the concentrations, and asked everything we need to know about our research from Dr. Marfori.

At 4:00 pm, Dr. Marfori viewed our set-ups under the inverted microscope. And kaboom. Nothing actually happened. We accidentally let 2 sperm cells meet. We were not able to introduce egg cells in the system. How would a zygote be formed without egg cells?!!

I was very teary eyed that time. Doc was even teasing me. He keeps on saying”oh..bakit paiyak ka na? next time na pupunta kayo dito, perfect na natin yan…” They did not understand me. Basically, I was not crying for the failed experiment. But I pity my mom. We don’t have money that time and we still need to return to Laguna? I hate it. I hate myself. Why didn’t I think of checking under the microscope if it is really an egg cell. Now, my mom is going to suffer again. What should we do now? 

We need to go back on August 20. Haiz. Another expensive trip. I promise, I will check every little detail just to finish this experiment. For my grades. For INTEL. For my groupmates. For my family. For my mom.
