Global Financial Crisis Notes (Coursera)
Global Financial Crisis
- all wealth is embodied in hard money.
- some fraction of wealth is used in everyday transactions.
- unfortunately, not all people can convert hard wealth.
- ¨panic¨ happens when people somehow feel like converting wealth, but just don´t know how.
- ¨financial crisis¨ occurs when too much panic affects the functioning of the financial system.
- ex. of panic: someone trying to convert words like ¨tooloose¨, ¨bespoke¨ into money...
- the modern world was shaped by the global financial crisis....it was the most important economic event since the 1930s....
- all workers are being called to fight the fire of the global financial crisis...
- prior to all financial crises, there is a large increase in the price of at least one asset class - a ¨bubble¨ is formed when it later falls.
- in the GFC, the bubble was in HOUSING.
- HOUSING bubbles have been associated with every major financial crisis since WWII.
- if you´re sad, you should be an economist.
- if you need that masterś degree, just take it.
- may ¨money¨ talaga ang tao.
- some people have money in bonds and not cash. puro credit card na sila.
- bahay ngayon, taas-baba ang presyo.
- pray ng pray talaga ang buhay.
- open-source things aren´t exclusively owned by any private party...
- that includes open-source images and artworks...

2008 Financial Crash: Video notes
- all-time low, lack of hard money
- mortgages were given so families could be taken out of the US
- people tried buying houses whilst not being financially secure.
- the banks lost money because of derivative products---and not original ones.
- me: i´m too big to fail.
- the blame was placed on: too much faith in the self-correcting nature of markets.
- everyone was borrowing too much money and taking too much risks.
-----> wag kasi manghiram ng pera kung maaari...
----->analysts say that the system failed because of human failings, pero sabi ko, it failed because of too much automatization, and not enough humans.
- the fault lies not in the stars, but in us.
------>me: i think humans should also correct the human problem.
------>not just a failed calculation.

snippets of a strange situation
¨baka ganito yon:
- one said she´ll get things for herself. sa kanya lang daw yon.
- one said she wants things, but she wants other people to get it for her.
- one said she will just have no things...
>so sister 2 keeps asking who will give her things?
- sister 1 cannot give or share her things to sister 2 because they are emotionally prohibited for her.
- bawal galawin niya yung pera ni sister 1.
- so ganito na nga lang. di lang kasi clear, pero sister 1 and sister 2 will try to find a job together so they can both split the bill and have their own things. sister 1 will feel rewarded for teaching sister 2, pero sister 2 will finally have her own things.
- what do we do about sister 3? dapat mag-clear lahat ng magkakapatid isa-isa.
- unang na-clear si sister 1.
- kasi she´s a loner.¨
Some notes on financial books I´ve skimmed
- So far, sa nabasa ko dun sa Monopoly book ko, the characters who made it to the end didn´t really get an increase in money, the stature in life stayed the same. (Tim Moore, ¨Do Not Pass Go¨)
- Sa Million-Pound Bank Note, I have seen a scenario na taong trabaho ay humawak ng pera, ngunit yung sarili niyang bulsa ay walang pera. May matira mang isang pound na bank note sa bulsa niya, nakakapulot lang siya ng pagkain at pamasahe kung saan-saan.
- Sa personal life ko, I´ve actually experienced a change in situation pero ngayon, similar na situation ko dun sa Million-Pound Bank Note. May trabaho, pero walang mahawakang pera at narereplenish lang lagi yung pagkain ko. Pinupulot ko lang yung pagkain.
- I´ll invent a money story. 😓💸 One day, there was a son of a rich private art gallery owner who had everything in life, nice car, cool clothes, great food, trips abroad, but was not allowed to have his own money. Thinking he had everything anyway, he never worked a day in his life and spent all his time doing pleasurable things. One day, he saw several new artists getting featured in the gallery. One made intensely-colored abstract paintings, another made lifelike statues of great people, and others still made bright and vibrant nature scenes. All the artworks they made sold for 1 Million pounds each, and all the featured artists went home super-satisfied. The rich son examined the gallery and felt daunted. He finally wished he could paint like them so he could make his own money. On another gallery day, he tried exhibiting his work: a set of fine patterns painted on thumbnail-sized tiles. Someone passed by his art and he said, I would like to buy that! That looks cute. Having no heir and nothing else to do with his huge fortune, he bought the set of tiles for 1 Million pounds. The rich son went home satisfied. Question: how did he rake in that much money?

My life assignment
1. Main institution: Hey Kessy - Arts and crafts store in Esteban Abada, Katipunan
2. Story of my life:
I´ve always had an interest in arts and crafts ever since I was young, but I guess I just didn´t feel encouraged or unique with an artsy talent, so I really just made art whenever I could, like when in school, for a project or when I didn´t have anything to do at home. Baka tinamad lang ako mag-practice, but I wasn´t the same as a child who practiced all the time to go to college. Tingin ko bata pa naman ako noon and hindi naman ako preparado for college at that age.
High school naman was really tough because of the changing demand sa homework and workload. Mabigat ang mga textbooks. Hindi na kami tinuturuan anymore ng teachers sa malalaking projects and we together discovered newfound independence.
One personal project I really wanted for myself was drawing and painting, aside from writing. I just decided one day na if there was anything I would accomplish in my lifetime before I leave, I decided I would learn to draw. Nag-effort na ako mag-drawing. Nag-practice ako araw-araw and finally even developed my own techniques of drawing.
Nag-college naman ako later and I still did my hobby at home, although medyo nakakaligtaan ko siya paminsan-minsan due to also, heavy workload sa school. There were times when I questioned if my course were right for me, and I wondered, out of the blue sometimes, what if mag-Fine Arts ako??? 😔
In the end, I just finished my first course and finally even got a job later along the lines of my course subject. Life went on normally and medyo here I am now, with the same job in another company, just with me wondering if I can finally make a career with my hobby.
3. In alignment with Hey Kessy: I think nag-aalign naman buhay ko dun sa store na to, kasi I think it espoused the DIY ethos as well as a meeting-of-likeminded-people vibe. Gustong-gusto ko yon. I bought books by Abbey Sy and I also follow her YouTube channel, adoring the stationery and lettering tutorials. If I could ever make a business here, I have this idea of surprise lettering valentineś cards (with poetry on them), hidden in brown message envelopes where the buyers would pick a pack at random, at bahala yung other person if she/he picks up the other matching pairs.
Anyway, I think I got invited to be an interior designer for the store noon, pero di ko nasagot kasi I didn´t have an interior design degree. Tsaka meiyou ako nin funds noon...Good points ko dun sa store is I really like all the products and would really love to work there. I guess I have to get on to studying na nga and make my portfolio, make more drawings, and finally get around to crafting again.
4. My role: Artist and interior designer
5. Plan your life:
- Practice drawing again. Or just make more drawings.
- Answer surveys on Toluna.
- Buy more art materials. Draw while studying.
- Study to get a Diploma in Graphic Design and Journalism.
- Practice writing and designing.
- Write and design for Contently.
- Meet other friends and artists.
- Start a business at Hey Kessy.
- Study Design and Early Childhood Education at Miriam College.
- Work for WAGI and Kumon.
- Sign up for Teletech.
- Keep on going about my online job...
How to Finish those Pesky Life Assignments 😓
1. Choose a main institution to live under. (Ex: Philippines) Study the institution and understand what it means to you. Learn their mission and vision.
2. Write the whole story of your life in about 200 words. Use any language you want, but it would be best if you use real language and not just brain scribbles. Sincerely make paragraphs and sentences. Make sure to include major life events that feel significant to you.
3. Analyze the story of your life in alignment with your main institution. List down points where: you have failed to fulfill your role in that institution, good points and major contributions, and points where you can improve.
4. Write down what exactly is your role in that institution. (Ex: Interior Designer, Healer)
5. Plan your life accordingly.
How can you love yourself more daily?
I think I can love myself more by being consistent in my habits. I miss being able to tick off lists and to go off to work or school. The schedule of life has been hazy these days as my body just hasn´t been working right. My body feels frozen sometimes, and just recently I felt my insides freezing up also like I´ve been deathly motionless for a long time. I´ve also been getting some stress headaches in the afternoon. I think I can attribute it to the lack of a sustaining drink - that could be some vitamin water or regular water, I don´t know. I can´t really mix my bipolar medicine with water anyway. It has to be swallowed whole and not dissolved or it´ll taste like the worst thing in the world.
By the way, my meds have been effective so far and actually, if I don´t take them, I get all sorts of symptoms. I feel irritable, unable to rest, restless, uncomfortable and sometimes I also feel like I´m stuck in a vortex where I just stand motionless while experiencing a mild stroke. It might not really be a stroke, but the feeling is similar to when my mind explodes. It´s so high that I feel hyper and if I don´t control myself, I kind of feel like running around and kicking things. It gets low too, my mood, but I have to get up quickly or I will feel really uncomfortable like my skin is crawling...
Those are just my bipolar symptoms. I´ll add, if I just don´t pick myself up from a low episode, I will feel like screaming from mental pain, just if I don´t quickly pick myself up and talk to myself about reality.
I really wish I had some tea. To just lessen the high episodes. We just have a lot of coffee, thereś some orange juice and milk sometimes, but I guess the most helpful fluid is just water.
Music helps me also. I´m getting into a new wave of relaxing mental music like indie songs that match my mood and do something for my brain waves.
I just want to add, that for some time in the past, doctors have used shock therapy to treat patients with severe depression and I think that was kind of inhuman. I really suggest music therapy and water therapy (just drinking lots of water) instead. I think art therapy is really useful for diagnosing mental illnesses and it relaxes your mind if you draw patterns. I think relaxing coloring books (those mandala adult coloring-books) are useful for dissociative disorders, to be used to assist ego integration.
There could really be many forms of therapy out there that use ordinary everyday things and don´t need to alter your body.
So, I described my high and low cycle in the paragraphs before, and I just want to say that it kind of happens on a two-day basis if I can´t control myself, or three-day to weekly basis if I can.
Just yesterday, I had a hard time sleeping in the night, but in the morning until the afternoon, I felt terrible cold waves and stiffness in my body. I think itś called mania.
I think these symptoms of mania really happened to me:
¨When Someone Is Manic
During this phase, people feel super-charged and think they can do anything. Their self-esteem soars out of control and it’s hard for them to sit still. They talk more, are easily distracted, their thoughts race, and they don’t sleep enough. It often leads to reckless behavior, such as spending sprees, cheating, fast driving, and substance abuse (too much coffee). Three or more of these symptoms nearly every day for a week accompanied by feelings of intense excitement may signal a manic episode.¨ - WebMD.com, ¨Bipolar Disorder¨
Iĺl compare it with a depressive episode:
¨What the Depression Phase Is Like
Without treatment, a person with bipolar disorder may have intense episodes of depression. Symptoms include sadness, anxiety, loss of energy, hopelessness, and trouble concentrating. They may lose interest in activities that they used to enjoy. It’s also common to gain or lose weight, sleep too much or too little [...]¨ - WebMD.com, ¨Bipolar Disorder¨
Ahhhhh!!!!! What a hard life it is. Anyway....I think the things I need to care for myself more are:
- 1. journalling - recording my feelings, scribbling my thoughts
- 2. reporting - telling my family or my therapist about my symptoms
- 3. drinking water - filling myself with mostly water when my body craves fluid intake...
- 4. less coffee - it kind of makes me too hyper...
- 5. sleep at regular hours - i try to sleep at 8-9pm or try to nap anytime i feel like it because it´s really hard to get to sleep, not knowing if you´ll have another night of sleep...
- 6. reading about mental illness to just have the words to express how i feel....

A 1-month art journey
I plan to just take some time before starting work to study and practice art. Hereś a pic of my plans for the week:
While practicing drawing, Iḿ going to practice writing, put together a portfolio, read books for fun, and also study how to get wealthy. Lastly, Iḿ also going to study Korean with an online course.
I just saw the Memrise study process and I think itś so cute!!! So excited to start learning Korean. 💙💜💟
Flow is also a really nice magazine. Their website is here: Flow Magazine.
I really think itś important for me to finally get around to studying art. When I was a student along time ago, I only studied art when I had free time...Now, I plan to study art as my main activity and just draw everything I want to draw for fun.
I feel like drawing a lot of fashion and nature pictures.
Iḿ going to break out my crayons, oil pastels and gouache there, as well as some colored pens and pencils, and I will finally put my extended vacation to good use.
Will just spend a portion of my mornings answering surveys on Toluna and I´ll be on my way to making money from my passion.
I believe that one can make money even if they´re just having fun.
By the way, Iḿ going to post some of my drawings and photos too in the morning, so keep tuned, if you like. 😜😁
So, there it is. My life is turning again. Albeit, just quietly....
上午好！再见！

About my habits
- Iḿ better at using digital planners or to-do lists than paper planners. If theyŕe hardcover, I think itś too heavy for me to fit in a bag. Plus, I kind of feel daunted if I leave blank spaces. With digital planners, I think can just punch in my to-dos every week and not mind if I leave out a day. I can also erase while keeping the page neat. Medyo tinatamad rin ako mag-design. Pag planner, mas gusto ko functional.
- I like using paper journals na nga lang. I think I just like drawing, making collages, scribbling and keeping lists. I can use it as a mindful journal also. I like keeping my paper journals random, like a commonplace book for messy thoughts.
- I like my new DSLR. I think I can use this for more art pictures and edits.
- When I have my own computer or smartphone, I always need to have a dictionary. I like picking up new vocabulary words while reading.
- My computer also always has foreign language translator-thingies and Jap/Kor/Chinese input options. I try to study these languages whenever I can.
- I try to talk to my cats in foreign languages just to practice. 😸😻💙💛
- I would like to pick up the habit of taking a bath/changing clothes/brushing my teeth all at once as soon as I wake up. Walang price ang good hygiene. 👌👍😎
- I like giving small gifts to friends and family during Christmas. Hindi ko pa nabibigay, pero once I get around to it, magbibigay ako ng mga tsaa at kape to my fam. 🍵
- I want to spend my afternoons reading. 📚
- I want to spend 10K worth of clothes every year.

Dear Bailey,
Naalala ko yung pangarap natin noon, na hindi naman tayo ¨mas marunong¨ sa kanila, ngunit, hindi natin maiwasan mag-criticize ng mga artworks at artists kasi minsan mukha talagang maganda ang pagkakagawa, pero hindi maganda ang TOPIC nung artwork. Walang artwork naman yatang walang techniques, pero bakit ba usong-uso yung artwork na technique ang topic?
Aminin mo na, Bailey. Matagal na tayong nagbabalak na sumabak dito...pero dapat nga gumawa na tayo. Dapat ba mag-aral muna tayo? Tingin ko naman dapat relax lang muna. Bahala ka sa sarili mo. Ano ba gusto mong gawin?
Gusto ko sumagot ng survey. Habang nagpapraktis ng art. Gusto ko lang makapag-drawing. Gusto ko rin naman hasain ang drawing skills ko...pero ikaw ba? I think it looks good na ganon.
Ngayon, ano ba magandang gawin para magpayaman? Dapat yata makinig tayo sa mga Christian sermons at kung ano-anong motivational podcasts...
Kailangan rin natin ng books. Regalo ko na nga sa sarili ko, ay isang financial book. Bili, kukuha na tayo ng pera. Kukuha tayo ng yaman.
Hindi naman tayo gagawa ng bawal, sinabi ko lang, may aabutin na nga tayo. Ano ba yon, kamo? Depende pala. Depende kung ano gusto mo.
Yaman. Ano ba yon? Bagay yon na sayong-sayo. Ano ba tingin mo sa yaman? Iyon ang hahanapin mo. Kung bakit nandito na nga tayo.
Hereś my lead:
What I plan to do for Christmas
- Read ¨My True Love Gave to Me¨ by Stephanie Perkins, et. al.
- Play my ¨dec21¨ playlist on YouTube
- Listen to Yerin Baek
- Meet with my friends on Plurk
- Learn how to get rich.
Learning Filipino
Left this in my tasks/to-do list for the future:
It´s not just one website, so it´s going to take some effort to learn...
Something else
I don´t know, I feel kind of unmotivated right now...I´ve got some pretty nice things and itś kind of a beautiful morning right now, and I guess Iḿ just feeling like something I can´t pinpoint...
I wish there was more sympathy for todayś heroes: online MOOC creators, CEOs of startups and companies such as survey sites and other freelancing sites...I think these people need more sympathy because they provide so much for people...a hidden workforce their league may be, but I think they should at least get a personal message or comment of thanks for their work.
I think I can just feel the pre-Christmas blues...
Oh well.

Textbooks will be viewed online on the school website and the students will read their lessons at home, along with listening to podcasts of lectures recorded by the teachers - they will play games and have short quizzes at school to test and explore their knowledge (wala nang seatwork and exam - dapat quiz lang yung meron. reserve the summative test for an essay or prob sheet online to be taken at home. the long question-and-answer exam should be the college entrance exam na lang.)

That Pink Planet
Why do women not have jobs? Why do they sign up and not get answered?
I think the answer is because of theyŕe sexuality. Or rather, for the lack of assertiveness, women may unintentionally assert their own sexuality. So I think theyŕe may be a lack of written or overtly stated parameters as to the job terms and conditions. Women may not be fit for the job at all if they don´t have it easy being submissive and somewhat subservient at their job. They will know that a job is for them if it looks like their favorite thing to do. I think they will get the job as long as they like the company and their role. What better thing is there for women to do than to enjoy their life and be able to buy the things that they want?
I think they should always strive for things that they like and need and try to do whatever is needed to get them. Want a bike? Try doing some errands for people online. Want make-up? Offer to test out new products. Want stationery? Take up a writing job and write ´til you get the salary you need.
How does one bid for jobs, by the way? It is simple. Bid for the jobs where youŕe most needed. Volunteer to help out a poor person - or sign up for the job that most needs a worker that also makes use of your skills and expertise.
Two types of bidding:
a.) Specific people need you
b.) Or, the world needs you.
Only modernists go for option A whereas most people really do option B.

Static ramblings
It takes a long time to move from a static place to a moving place.
I think Iḿ having a hard time studying Korean as the study environment isn´t so good...It seems like the world is kind of freezing up and I feel like doing something creative right now.
I wish I was a teacher. I´d like any opportunity to teach, even if itś for free. I really like the website ¨Literably¨.
Iḿ digging my to-do list right now. I think itś really colorful and interesting.
Motivation
I easily get motivated by colorful and cute things. I like the environment to be clean and filled with creative personal things. I love my wall right now.
I also have to avoid taking up too much space in the house. I think the electricity and water bills shoot up when Iḿ the one overusing them....
I wish I had a puppy toy - like my hand-warmer pillow - I wish to have a stuffed toy representing my dog, Naning or Sandra. I wish to have a ¨Doge¨ shirt also....
Damn! When am I going to start my business?? I honestly think that Iḿ excited without much preparation.
I hope visitors come. I hope they come and brighten up the house. The world feels really dry. Itś terrible. Thereś not enough content in the world.
I wish I could use Pinterest right now. I want to pin about schools.
I really love Pinterest. I could pin for hours and look at pretty pictures.
I wish someone would make a web show. I wish to watch Korean and Chinese period dramas.
I want to make things. I now make things all the time, these days.
I remember the movie, ¨Before Sunrise" starring Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke. I think it was a really nice movie...really great and purposefully homely.
I like writing. I like writing these days on an app called ¨Ain´t¨ from the Chrome web store.
New content. Alright. I think the world is really rich anyway....how about sleepy towns? I think small towns and suburbs are really interesting - life in these places are kind of unstudied. Government is a good topic to study right now also. I think all the MOOCs on Coursera and other websites are all unique and timely. Also, I did´nt know that Korean could be or was an obscure language to study...Iḿ not sure but the language classes could probably not be abundant.
More on Asian languages. I think Japanese was often studied and majored in because of the interest-value...Korean has been majored in because of the pop culture, and Chinese has been majored in because of the academic value. This is a strange thing. I think if people want to study interesting things, they should specialize in German - if you want to study pop culture, you should study Swedish. If you want to study something academic, you should take English literature or perhaps Spanish, Latin Classics or Greek. I think some pop fandoms on the Internet could go overboard with their influence as certain Asian cultures could turn upside-down with the influence of powerful families and names.
A nation under the sky could be turning into the worst place ever. For the lack of monitors and lack of respect for authority. I think totalitarian states are built on those kinds of attitudes.
Damn. I wish I could study.

You just spent all day by yourself. Are you bored?
Iĺl be sort of bored, but for the most part, I think not. I would really have fun being by myself. I guess I lack time for reflection these days, right now being worried about the state of affairs of the world.
I think itś really not that easy to get bored in a world with too much trouble. With markets crashing, poverty and hunger being abundant all over the globe, and crime waves going on everywhere, one should have much to do. In fact, you could get too tired and stressed with the amount of work there is in store for humanity because of all the people who don´t show up (people really show up when itś for school or work, but as friends during troubled times, how often have you seen someone who has been there to fully support you?). A lot of people actually tell those people in the hot seat that they simply ¨lack the time¨.
Admittedly, I know that many people spend more time by themselves these days. Due to a shortage of instructions in the use of the modern worldś technology, human isolation grows. Depression disorders are not that uncommon at all.
Come to think of it, as boredom is really a problem elsewhere around me, it might be that era in the world where humankind has to answer the crucial question of what to do with his own personal time. I truly purport that todayś world has a lot of electronic gadgets, but there are really not enough new inventions. Clothes do change every 10 years or even every 2 months (nowadays), but not to be too keen on the nitty-gritty: clothes these days don´t look fantastic enough. Most people do lack the personal decoration.
Compared to the fashion of the Elizabethan or Victorian era, modern men and women really look like they wear clothes for work all the time, rather than flaunt their own personality. I could be mistaken, but it seems to be an early time for the post-2000s world.
