Entry: Saturday - what a long day Monday, November 28, 2005



Our thesis proposal is due this tuesday.  So by 9am, I was already in school with my groupmates finishing the thesis proposal.

By 2:00pm, we attended a conference for our international economics class with a group of japanese students.  Grabe, the japanese students went to the Philippines just to attend a conference sponsored by our professor!  Cguro barya lang sa kanila yung plane ticket pa punta dito!  the japanese group presented two papers... one on the oil crisis and another one about wage differentials.  Sobrang di ko sila maintindihan.  And in terms of the content of their report, feeling ko mas ok pa yung ginawa nung mga classmates ko eh.  Or cguro, maganda naman talaga yung topic nila, but they just can't really explain their papers very well because of the language barrier. Hmmmm.....

The japanese students presenting their study:

Mahilig talaga ang mga japanese sa pictures.  Lahat sila may digicam.  Nangawit na nga kami sa pag pose sa dami ng camera nila eh! Afterwards, we went to glorieta with the jap students.  (To show filipino hospitality... haha... actually, hindi ko nga sila kinakausap eh... kasi shy ako! hehhehe)  Grabe, dami nilang biniling dried mango, at ang tagal pa nilang bumili.  Tapos they treated us to dinner. Hahaha... buti naman nilibre nila kami, dahil, in economic terms:"the purchasing power of the japanese yen is greater than the purchasing power of the Philippine peso".  Grabe, wala na ngang mabili ang piso ngaun eh!

at greenbelt (malabo nga lang yung picture): 
Can you distinguish kung sino ang japanese at sino yung mga filipino students? hehe

***
Oh well... pagkatapos nun, nagpunta kaming eastwood.  Pero hindi na namin kasama ang aming mga japanese friends.  Inaantok na ata kasi sila, bumalik na ng hotel. 

Grabe, naka 100 pesos ata ako sa parking that day.

At pag-uwi ko, gising pa lola ko. Wala lang
