A Month of Silence

Man, I suck at blogging!!! Hahaha... I haven't posted in a long while - about a month, I think. Raar!

What have I been up to these past silent days? On the earlier part of November, I was fairly busy at school. See, I do study! Early part of November, I was mostly taking Mandarin proficiency tests for my scholarship or for my class; then we also had to do our final project in class where we were forced (and we yielded quite happily) to take part in a fake student organization election campaign.

Basically, I was a candidate for a fictional organization and I had to make a speech about why they should vote for me. I was paired off to 惠京, my awesome Korean classmate, who was my campaign manager. It was a lot of fun. Hahaha!

We made a poster, and then our speeches were also video-recorded. Since my partner and I were both crazy people, we just did some crazy out-of-this world fictional speeches. We won second place! Yeah! :-D (And we were also team # 2!) Thanks to Jen, Heidi and Jamie for attending the event and supporting Michelle and me! :D

我Marcos的文章

I'm just so happy to have written this... I wouldn't have been able to do this using my Chinese education in the Philippines. (mainly because I was a bad Chinese student back then.)

菲律賓人多少都喜歡自己國家的民主化。一般的人民覺得People Power革命成功的事情﹐就是菲律賓人厲害的證明。

對我來說﹐每個國家適合不一樣的領導﹐而且菲律賓不適合民主化。

Marcos當總統的時候讓菲律賓發展多﹐經濟比較好﹐國家很安定﹐而且總統的太太也把很多的方法﹐像交通﹐博物館﹐什麼的﹐好好地建設﹐聽說那時的人民也比較有禮貌。

Marcos總統任期快滿的時候﹐他覺得他還可以做更多對國家好的事情﹐所以他把總治的辦法改成Martial Law﹐一般的人民不同意這樣的改變﹐因為他們覺得Marcos只要讓他控制的力量更大更多。

人民覺得Marcos的情形很嚴重了﹐他們就革命不讓Marcos當總統了。人民不希望Marcos將來領導菲律賓。

對我來說﹐現在的菲律賓跟以前的菲律賓比起來﹐以前的菲律賓非常好。現在菲律賓發展那麼慢﹐交通很差﹐博物館沒進步﹐真可惜!


PS. I feel that I won't be able to understand my own essay a few months after I go back to the Philippines. Hahahaha! I fervently hope that it doesn't happen though... *wishing hard*
