10Q 2013: Day 8
Is there something (a person, a cause, an idea) that you want to investigate more fully in 2014?Hmm. I don't really know. Maybe the idea of adulting--it's definitely something I want to do more of in 2014, as I plan to move out of the house and into my own condo by October. Live by myself, that kind of thing. I've already done that last year, when ( Read more... ) -
10Q 2013: Day 7
How would you like to improve yourself and your life next year? Is there a piece of advice or counsel you received in the past year that could guide you in this project?Well. I want to improve a lot of things, the person that I am. Work-wise, I want to get that driven feeling back, and be passionate about the things I work on, because I am really ( Read more... ) -
10Q 2013: Day 6
Describe one thing you'd like to achieve by this time next year. Why is this important to you?Can I publish, please? That's all I want in life right now, since I'm at this job that's already taking the life out of me. Co-author something, maybe two somethings, by this time next year. I've wanted this since I joined PIDS but of course I knew it had ( Read more... ) -
10Q: Day 5
Have you had any particularly spiritual experiences this past year? How has this experience affected you? "Spiritual" can be broadly defined to include secular spiritual experiences: artistic, cultural, and so forth.
When we visited LACMA one day in Los Angeles, I felt very stupid, especially in the beginning. We started with these exhibits of a ( Read more... ) -
10Q: Day 4
Describe an event in the world that has impacted you this year. How? Why?
I might name two recent events first. There was Typhoon Haiyan, locally known as Yolanda, which ravaged much of the Visayas group of islands in the Philippine archipelago, destroyed at least 5,600 lives (about 3,000 are still missing) and shocked the entire world. It was the ( Read more... ) -
10Q 2013: Day 2
Is there something that you wish you had done differently this past year? Alternatively, is there something you're especially proud of from this past year?I had to think for a while to answer this question, and in fact I still don't know what I could answer. Isn't that a good thing? It's a sign of having no regrets, which, if I'm not mistaken, was ( Read more... ) -
10Q 2013: Day 1
I'm starting this late, as I lost my e-mail address and so I couldn't answer 2013 10Q at the right time (September 2013). Let's do this in 10 days and see if I miss out. Just to be clear, I'm doing it from today, November, so it might be a little weird next year.
Describe a significant experience that has happened in the past year. How did it ( Read more... ) -

Europe, UP, graduate school
I used to just want to take a Master's somewhere in Europe. My dream course was Philosophy and Economics at the LSE. According to my boss, it stands for "Let's see Europe."
Not so much anymore. My first semester at UP is about to end, and all I want is to get the best grades that I could because I want to be a great, distinguished economist, not for ( Read more... )
