ベルナルド(Bernard)からヤスシ(Yasushi)へのクリスマスカード
今日は1回目のテストで優秀者の1人だったベルナルド・エマニュエル・デ・ラモス・コンセプシオンくん (Mr. Bernard Emmanuel De Ramos Concepcion) が大田靖さん (Dr. Yasushi Ota) に宛てて作ってくれたクリスマスカードを紹介したいと思います。彼は昨年のクリスマス直前にこのカードとプレゼントを作ってくれたのですが、その時、私はすでに長崎に帰っており、年明けに受け取ることとなってしまいました。今度、日本に帰る際に、必ず、大田靖さんにこのカードとプレゼントを届けようと思っております。

Letter from Precious to Mr. & Mrs. Suzuki
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Suzuki,
Good day!
My name is Precious Gemlin V. Plaza, one of Sir Yoshifumi Takenouchi’s students in Math 122 here in the University of the Philippines Diliman. I am writing you a letter to extend to you my sincerest thanks for sponsoring the book “Introduction to Linear Algebra and Differential Equations” by John W. Dettman to us. I am very proud to tell you that I am one of the lucky people who received this book after getting the highest scores in our first long examination. Until now, I am still in the state of shocked because I really can’t believe that I can make it to the top especially that I am just an average student, as I think. (But I guess I am already improving.) I really enjoy studying about differential equations, that’s why this book would be a great reference for me. I love solving and computing very long equations and getting a real answer after rather than proving theorems that in the end, I can’t even find its applications to my own life. Weird because I am taking up BS Mathematics but then on I don’t like proving stuffs like these. For me, Sir Yoshi (as I call him!) is a very good teacher because even though he came from Japan, he can still communicate and teach us clearly. I don’t get bored when it’s his class and I don’t know why until now. His lessons are very informative and detailed. That’s why I am thinking to have him as my thesis adviser for my undergraduate thesis (but I’m still not sure…) because I find differential equations, which as far as now is his forte, as a very interesting topic, applicable to real life and of course, I like it so much too!
I think my letter will just end up here. I hope I can write you another letter for you to know me better. (Maybe, if I can still make it to the cream of the crop after the second exam, so cross your fingers and wish me luck. (^_^) ) Again, thank you for sponsoring the book to us. May God bless you both, and your family as well, for you to continue giving people happiness in life (like me!).
Yours truly,
Precious Gemlin V. Plaza

Letter from Sami to Davide
Dr. Guzetti Davide
Dear Sir,
Greetings! Thank you very much for the book Nonlinear Systems by Drazin that you have given to me. It is really hard to find books on higher mathematics in the Philippines—one has to literally scour all branches of the biggest bookstores in Manila and pray that one’s luck would to be too difficult to get a nice reference. I shall take care of it and put it to good use.I am technically a half-Filipino. My mother is Filipino and my father is Arab. Though, I really do not want to go to the Middle East because I do not like hot places. (I really wish that somebody would invent a portable air conditioning unit. It is steaming hot in the Philippines!) Even if my father is a Muslim, I am Roman Catholic since birth.I am now a fourth year undergraduate mathematics student at the University of the Philippines; however, I have just transferred from another course. I was a chemical engineering student. I really like chemistry, although I find the lack of mathematical rigor in the texts, like in physical chemistry; that we have rather disturbing. That is why Iwould like to study mathematics first, and then take a second degree in applied chemistry. But, of course, I really like mathematics. Recently, I am very enthusiastic with my introductory analysis (Math 123.1). I even sleep with the book beside me! I feel that it is one of life’s greatest privileges to see the world with mathematics as one’s eye.Some of my relatives actually say that my interests are rather wildly peculiar, having a liking to math. More so, I like listening music that makes them feel creepy. Well, I understand them. I really like classical music: Toccata con Fuga by Bach; The six Paganini Etudes (I love the third), and, of course, the Totentanz by Liszt; Tzigane by Ravel, Scherzo op.31 in B flat major and Fantasie-Impromptu in C-sharp minor by Chopin; to mention a few. One of my dreams is to be able to play the third Paganini etude by Liszt before I turn 40! I really suggest that you listen to a few of them, if you have not yet done so. However, it is not a good idea to listen to the Toccata con Fuga at night when other people are able to hear it. I do so, and the other people at home can no longer sleep well!Again, thank you very much. It is heart-warming to know that there are people who selflessly offer a part of themselves to complete strangers in need. I really pray that there be more selfless people like you and Sir Takenouchi in the Philippines too, especially in our government! ☺ May GOD bless all of us.
Sincerely yours,

Report on my activities (AY08-09, 1st Sem)
Academic Year 2008-2009, 1st Semester, I was handling 3 sections, THV, THW, and WFX of Math 122.

Introduction
It is now the fourth year of my stay here in the Philippines, as an assistant professor of Institute of Mathematics, University of the Philippines, Diliman.
I still continue my activity somehow, which I call "finding sponsor who kindly buy textbooks for my students": asking you to be a sponsor for my classes, and to buy textbooks for my students, and also asking my students who received books to write thank you letters to you.
I would like to use my blog to introduce my students who received textbooks to my sponsors, and to introduce my sponsors to my students.
I also would like to use my blog to express my feelings, thoughts, etc. I have in my daily life here in Manila to you.

ブログ紹介文
私の、フィリピン大学ディリマン校理学部数学研究所の助教授としての、マニラ滞在もついに４年目となりました。
皆さまにスポンサーになって頂いて、授業で使う教科書を購入し、それを受け取った優秀な学生たちが、スポンサーに宛ててお礼と自己紹介のお手紙を書いてくれる、「教科書スポンサー」の活動も細々とではありますが続いております。
このブログを、教科書を受け取った学生のことをスポンサーの皆さまに紹介したり、逆に、スポンサーになって下さった方々を学生たちに紹介したりする場にして行きたいと思います。
また、マニラで暮らす私が日々の生活の中で気付いた雑感なども、このブログで、皆さまにお伝えして行こうかとも思っております…
