I HAVE NEVER BEEN REJECTED SO MANY TIMES IN MY LIFE!!!

and i honestly hate it. and wtf, who wouldn’t?

Ok, so today was my second day of duty in Subangdaku [i love saying it!] and i hated it so much! Yesterday, sir Geñoso said that we’d only have to give a lecture to pre-school kids about the importance of hygiene. We allotted 3 hours of preparation for a 30 minute class which is really stupid but we’re lazy people so whatever plus, we really had no say in the matter cuz we’re only 5 second year students grouped with 14 third years who bore the hell out of me and have no personalities! If it was just us second years i know i would be doing a better job compared to my performance now…

ANYWAYS, so i was assigned to bring a CD player since i was in the sound something committee. But this morning before going to school, my papa told me to LEAVE the player cuz it wouldn’t work! So naturally i freaked out because… well, you have a brain, use it why don’t you? It was really hard to find a cd player at such short notice, so i texted one of the third years and she said it was OK cuz someone else was bringing speakers. Ok, they could’ve at least told me in advance!!! I mean, what if i went to the community with the player only to find out they were gonna use an iPod. GEEZ. and they have my number! i really hate them for that.

So i got to the health center and suddenly it’s a NEW instructor who changed everything and made us do a home visit and somehow convince them to come with us with their kids to learn about hygiene. I mean, these people may be poor but they have lives! you don’t just expect them to drop what they’re doing to teach their kids how to wash their hands, do you? I mean, sometimes a lot of these things don’t make sense to me. Sometimes people can be very inconsiderate and it pisses me off gyud. rar!

And since we had to do it in 45 minutes, all 19 of us were racing plus we use the buddy system so it’s time consuming. Point is that, i kept going up to different mothers asking if i could interview them and i kept getting the same answer- NO. i wanted to cry because NO ONE HARDLY SAYS NO TO ME 😦 [ok that sounded bratty] but really. UGGGH!!! And the worst thing is, we had to have our pictures taken with the family that we interviewed and invited. I got so desperate, i got an 11 year old boy and told him to tell people he was 6 if anyone asked and used him and his mom. 😐

i felt bad for the mom though cuz she’s a single mother of three who only finished the 4th grade. she collects garbage and washes clothes for a living and only makes 80 pesos the most a day which is less than my allowance per day. i get 250 for crying out loud and sometimes that’s not even enough for myself 😦 And to top it all off, she’s had a cyst of her breast for over 10 years now and she’s too scared to go to the doctor. i feel for these people. i just can’t believe people actually live like that. She doesn’t even have electricity and her meals consist of rice and salt on a regular basis. sometimes fish if she’s lucky 😦 i’m really thankful i don’t live like that and i really do wanna help them. hoo humm

moving on…. i hate MRS. YGNACIO. she looks like this:

i’m not even kidding.

Because apparently, in nursing, ECONOMICS matter.

What is the law of demand?

Relatively less quantities of a good will be bought at a high than any lower price.

Why does a demand curve slope downward?

(1) At a high price, buyers who cannot afford to buy the good drop out of buying. At a low price, however, more buyers can afford goods so more good are bought.

(2) In the case of the individual buyer, a price increase, given a fixed income, reduces his available budget for other commodities.

(3) At a high price, it becomes more attractive to buy other goods which are substitutive to it. This reduces the demand for the group.

What are the determinants of demand? What happens to the demand curve when each of these determinants changes?

(1) Preference patterns – If preferences change so that people want to buy more of a commodity, at a given price, then there is increase in demand. There will be a fall in demand if preferences change again.

(2) Changing incomes – Increasing incomes raise the demand for goods.

(3) Effects of distribution of income – If a society’s income is highly unequal, some members of society (rich) may tend to have a demand of luxury goods that few of the citizens can afford. On the other hand, the poorer members may buy an array of essential goods.

(4) Population change – An increase population leads to increasing demand for some types of goods

(5) Changes in expectations – Expectations about the future may alter demand for a specific commodity.

Distinguish between a change in demand and a change in quantity demanded, noting cause of each.

Change in demand – Change of the goods needed due to changes in preference, income or change in expectations

Change in quantity demanded – Change in the quantity of goods bought at a given ranged due to change in income, population change, effects of distribution, etc.

2. What effect will the following have on the demand of product B?

A. Product B becomes more fashionable – The demand for product B will increase

B. The price substitute for product C falls – Because of the decrease of the prices; its demand will increase thus making the demand for the other products decrease as well.

C. Income declines and product C becomes an inferior good – Because of the decline of income, the demand for the cheaper good which is product B will increase.

D. Consumers anticipate that the price of product B will be lower in the near future – Because consumers expect that the prices will decrease, there will be a decrease in the demand while the prices have not yet changed. When it does, there is a possibility of a shortage because consumers will be racing to buy product B,

E. The price of complementary product D falls – There will be an increase in demand because as an expectation being a determinant, the consumers would want to make the most out of the products decrease in price and “hoard” these materials for future use.

3. Assess the effects of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 and the war on terrorism on the demand of the following items in the United States: airline tickets, gasoline, hotel rooms, books about Afghanistan and Arabic interpreters.

After the September 11 attacks, tourism in the United States decreased which lead to an economic crisis in their country thus leading hotels and infrastructures to lower their rates as well this included, airline tickets, hotel rooms and etc. The rise however, did occur in regards to gasoline, books and interpreters. Gas prices immediately shot up and suddenly people were interested in knowing everything they could about the Afghanistan attackers.
