I haven’t really posted anything much since I arrived. I’ve been so busy trying to survive the preliminary session with all those algebraic and mathematical equations. I really wish that I inherited both of my grandfathers’ skills for math. The course I’m taking now is really into using the quantitative methods in analysing data. If I knew about it beforehand, then I’m sure I wouldn’t have applied. Our one week break is ending already and I haven’t started studying yet. I promised myself while I was copying my classmates’ math assignments that I will really study during the break but other school and personal activities have overriden my good intentions to review the lessons at my own pace. I still have today and tomorrow to do that. I will really try later to read my past lessons just to have some basic understanding of the concepts and their applications. Good luck to me. In this school, you’re really pressured to study. A lot of our classmates are already studying their lessons in advance, the semester hasn’t even started yet. It’s really a shock to someone like me who got through university by cramming for papers and exams. I just hope that after I get throught this experience, I’ll be able to develop good study habits, but if I do, where would I be using it next? Hehehe.
Eto ay mga tsokolateng gawa sa kamay na binibenta sa souvenir shop ng Namsan Seoul Tower. Ang ganda tingnan parang ayaw mo ng kainin.

Hindi ako sigurado kung cabbage ba ito o ibang klaseng halaman. Nakita lang namin sa may gate ng Mataas na Paaralan ng Kyung Hee nung unang araw namin dito sa Seoul habang namamasyal kami. Nakakatuwa kasi noon ko pa lang nakita ang ganitong halaman.
(I’m not sure if this is a cabbage or another kind of plant. We saw these plants outside the gate of Kyung Hee University during our first day here in Seoul while we were out walking. I found it amusing to see such kind of plant.
Ito ang repleksyon ng lumulubog na araw sa pasilyo ng aming tirahan. Biniyayaan kami dito sa aming tinitirhan ng napakagandang tanawin na lumulubog na araw. Nakakalungkot lang na minsan di na namin napapansin dahil sa dami ng aming ginagawa.
