UP ECOSOC will be celebrating its 50^th anniversary this September! In commemoration of the organization’s 50^th year, we intend to create a coffee table book, which will showcase the grand history of our beloved organization. We are in need of past issues of ECHOES and any other memorabilia (especially pictures, sigsheets, logbook) available at your care.

We request all alumni and friends who have these memorabilia to kindly lend them to us and contact Lucia Lopez at 09064192396 or email echoes.editors@gmail.com.

We also appeal to any alumna and alumnus who are willing to provide other detailed historical information of the organization.

Those who wish to lend and/or be interviewed may get in touch with us at the contact details given above or by visiting our tambayan at SE 121, School of Economics, UP Diliman. We hope to beat our press deadline by the end of May 2008.

Thank you for your kind indulgence and we hope for your most favorable response! :)

ALONE: MAY FRENCH VERSION

EUNICE's COMMENT: This song is sooooooo FOUL!

ALONE

I hear the ticking of the clock
I'm lying here the room's pitch dark
I wonder where you are tonight
No answer on the telephone
And the night goes by so very slow
Oh I hope that it won't end though
Alone

Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
you don't know how long i have wanted
to touch your lips and hold you tight
You don't know how long I have waited
and I was going to tell you tonight
But the secret is still my own
and my love for you is still unknown
Alone
Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
Alone, alone

SEUL

J'entends le tic tac de l'horloge
Je suis allongé ici la chambre de hauteur la tombée de la nuit
Je me demande où vous êtes, ce soir,
Pas de réponse au téléphone
Et la nuit se passe de façon très lente
Oh, je l'espère, qu'il ne prendra pas fin si
Seul

Jusqu'à présent, j'ai toujours eu de sur ma propre
Je n'ai jamais vraiment pris en charge jusqu'à ce que je te
Et maintenant il me frissons à l'os
Comment puis-je vous seul
Comment puis-je vous seul

vous ne savez pas combien de temps j'ai voulu
de toucher vos lèvres et vous tenir serré
Vous ne savez pas combien de temps j'ai attendu
et j'allais vous dire ce soir
Mais le secret est toujours mon propre
et mon amour pour toi est encore inconnu
Seul

Jusqu'à présent, j'ai toujours eu de sur ma propre
Je n'ai jamais vraiment pris en charge jusqu'à ce que je te
Et maintenant il me frissons à l'os
Comment puis-je vous seul
Comment puis-je vous seul
Seul, seul

Favorite JLE Quote

"Pucha, may diyos e!"

"Wanna grow?" - a formulated pickup line because to LOVE is to let the other grow.

"Wanna be unlocked??" - same rationale as above

"Grow longer... grow longer... grow longer." - Because things usually happen when u say it aloud.

"Ang love parang itong exercise na'to... you can never be sure. It's overwhelming.. Mahirap mag-commit. Blind. At may hawakan."

ATTN: ECONOMIST FRIENDS

I need help! The deadline of my thesis is on June 2, my topic is:

The Legal Feasibility of Hedging Laws for Migrant Workers' Remittances.

My Thesis 2 prof told me that it would be best if I have an ECONOMETRIC ANALYSIS of the effects of hedging to our economy. I'm thinking, MIGRANT WORKERS REMITTANCES, GDP and uhmm, HEDGING.

Wala ako data, I'm sort of panicking. HELP please?

I will accept anything... pati na rin suggestion on how I can do it. Meron na ako LEGAL BASIS pero un econ part.. mejo hasty pa.

May hedging program na un DBP pero ang gusto ko sana, magkaron din ng hedging programs un mga banking and quasi-banking institution. So, PROPERT Y RIGHTS [banks] vs. CONFISCATORY / POLICE POWER of the Government, at LABOR v. PRIVATE SECTOR.

Leave your comments here, text me or email me.

PS: Paloys, alam kong ayaw mong suportahan ko ang hedging pero TULUNGAN mo ko. hehe.

I'm a SEVEN!

According to the Enneagram Personality Test that we took in the JLE, i'm a Type 7, I'm an ADVENTURER so if you want to know how to get along with me [which is kinda easy] read on...

Enneagram Type 7 - The Enthusiast

Pleasure seekers and planners, in search of distraction

Enneagram type 7 - The Enthusiast

People of this personality type are essentially concerned that their lives be an exciting adventure. Sevens are future oriented, restless people who are generally convinced that something better is just around the corner. They are quick thinkers who have a great deal of energy and who make lots of plans. They tend to be extroverted, multi-talented, creative and open minded. They are enthusiasts who enjoy the pleasures of the senses and who don't believe in any form of self-denial.

Sevens are practical people who have multiple skills. They know how to network and to promote themselves and their interests. They often have an entrepreneurial spirit and are able to convey their enthusiasm to those with whom they come in contact. When they are able to focus their talents, they are often highly successful. Focusing does not always come easily for Sevens, however. Their tendency to believe that something better awaits them, makes them reluctant to narrow down their options or to pursue their aims with true devotion.

The central problem for Sevens is that their pursuit of pleasure is compulsive. Sevens are fear types who are specifically afraid of the power of negative states of mind. These they avoid by seeking distractions in the external environment: by multi-tasking, by keeping their options open, by engaging in stimulation seeking of all kinds. For this reason, Sevens are more prone than most to addictions of all sorts, whether it be to shopping, gambling, drugs or whatever.

Sevens usually have a high opinion of themselves and their talents; they tend to focus on their strengths and virtues and to downplay their flaws and vices. They are often a bit self-centered which manifests in an unfounded feeling of entitlement. As Sevens don't want to confront their own darker emotions, they also have difficulty acknowledging the pain that others experience, so that they sometimes have a hard time seeing the reality of other people. The extent of the Seven's flight from negative emotions is really a measure of the Seven's mental health; the more that the Seven flees from them, the more their strength grows and the more likely they are to erupt into consciousness in the form of an anxiety disorder or a severe depressive episode.

As they are outward looking and not especially prone to introspection, it is not uncommon for Sevens to mistype themselves. Sometimes they mistype as Eights, as Sevens too can be domineering, especially if Eight is the dominant wing. But Eights are not anxious and they lack the quick, mental energy that is charateristic of the Seven. Sevens can easily mistype as Threes, but Threes are much more single minded than Sevens and don't suffer from the desire to keep all options open. Surprisingly, Sevens can mistype as Fours. When they recognize the disparity between the optimistic, fun loving persona that they project to the world and their own, often anxious internal mental states, they can confuse their pain with the melancholia of type Four. Sevens are in flight from this pain however, whereas Fours often cultivate their negative mental states.

How to get along with a Seven

give companionship, affection and freedom
engage them in stimulating conversation and laughter
appreciate their grand visions and listen to their stories
don't try to change them; accept them as they are
don't tell them what to do
be responsible for yourself; they dislike clingy needy people

What's good about being a Seven

they are are optimistic and don't let life get them down
they are spontaneous and free-spirited
they are outspoken and outrageous; it's part of the fun
they are generous and try to make the world a better place
they have the courage to take risks to seek adventure
they have varied interests and abilities

What's difficult about being a Seven

they don't have enough time to get everything done
they may not complete everything they start
they have difficulty committing to one career
they tend to be ungrounded; getting lost in plans or fantasy
they can feel confined in a one-to-one relationship
they seem to have no "off" switch

Sevens as Children

drum up excitement
are action oriented and adventurous
prefer being with others
finesse their way around adults
dream of the freedom they will have as adults

Sevens as Parents

are often enthusiastic and generous
want their children to be exposed to adventures
may be too busy with their own activities to be attentive
