Eurovision Song Contest 2014 season is coming to a close, and this Saturday is this year’s final. The top 10 from each semi-final, the big 5 (UK, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain), and last year’s winner, Denmark battle it out for the Eurovision trophy.
These are my top 10 songs for Saturday’s final:
Lubao, Pampanga, Philippines
Scientific Name: Mimosa pudica
There was a scientific study on the Makahiya suggesting that the plant could store memories and actually learn.
Known to us all, the Makahiya folds its leaves when it is “touched”.
In the experiment, water was repeatedly dropped on the plant. Naturally, at first, it closed its leaves but after a few seconds, it realized that the water was no real danger and stopped folding its leaves.
The idea that plants could learn might need further research to prove but somehow, this could be a lesson to us all.That even plants have the capability to think. That plants also have lives. That our duty in this world is not only to consume but to preserve nature before it is too late.
The cupcake I’ve ordered arrives. It is a chocolate cupcake with mint-flavored green frosting, chocolate chips and strings of chocolate syrup on top. It’s carefully laid down on a dainty little embroidered cloth. It’s like this cupcake place is made for Instagram.
It’s Instaworthy.
I immediately get my phone from my old Jansport on a seat beside me. I try my best to get the best angle, shooting from every possible position. I try to shoot from the top, from the bottom, from the side and up close.
As I was about to tap on my phone screen, someone walks by in the background, which ruins everything.
It is him. With someone. A girl, who’s not his sister or his cousin.
I should know because she is his girlfriend.
