So, Dominic, para sa mga hindi nakakakalam ano nga ba ang applied physics at ano karera ang meron para sa mga nag-aaral at eventually mag-a-graduate sa kursong ito. So applied physics is basically a course where you can apply the physics of everyday living and of course, opportunities are practically anywhere that involves instrumentation and laboratories. Interesting. Okay. Maraming salamat, Dominic. Kaya naman si Vince. Nako Vince. Maraming nakakakaralit sa habi mo ang itin. Pero mas maging na siguro na i-explain mo yung confidence-boosting technique mo of acting like a main character. Di ba yung main character na yung very genzis lang na? Iyon. Palagin bumibita. Oh, Vince. Ano po kasi? Very, ano po talaga ako, ako wala... wala nang tiwala sa sarili. Laging kinakabahan. Then for the second year, I said na, let's bring that main character energy. Lagi kong pinapanod si Al Woods, si Regina George and yung Regina George ng India si Pooja. So every time that I walk around the campus, feeling ko, ako lang, ako yung pinakabida sa lahat ng student sa campus. Pero hindi ka naman masyadong kinakabahan. So I guess that technique of yours must be working. Ngayon po kinakabahan. Kasi... Hindi akos importante ay hindi ka mukhang kinakabahan. Kaya na, kabato-kabato ka na.

Di lang sa stage, pero sa lansangan din. So with those avenues and platforms mas na saka ko yung pag-a-quento at pagiging storyteller na rin. Nga gamit yung katawan at gamit yung context o kung nasan man yung espacia. Kaka sa susunod dapat isang mamo si Vince para talagang masarpen ang kanyang confidence-building niya. Alagang ano. Mamugust yung pagkamin karakter mo pag sa theater. Ang problema, bida siya dapat pala. Yun lang. Mga gina-gawa ng UP rep kasi talagang accessibility ng theater kaya style. Thank you Robe. Hindi naman si Alfea. So Alfea, why the switch from Asian studies to social work? I really like learning different disciplines for different social sciences.
