acknowledgement
January 23rd, 2007 by gelle319ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
I have to admit that this page is really the hardest part to write. In my case, who stayed for five years in the campus, two-page acknowledgement would not be enough to properly thank everyone who has been very helpful and supportive during the completion of my manuscript and to those who made my life here in UP Los Baños an exciting and unforgettable one. Also, I suppose that words would not be enough to convey how I truly felt. I am really hoping that each of you will realize how important you were - and you are - to me. And to those whom I fail to mention, I am deeply sorry. Slap my back next time we see each other.
TO
Dr. Marina P. Natural, my adviser
For making this manuscript possible and for accepting me again as your advisee. I have learned so much from you, Ma’am. Thank you for the guidance and for patiently scrutinizing my thesis outline and manuscript. Ma’am, I owe a lot you. (–,)
Dr. Edna Y. Ardales, my former adviser
For the experience and learnings I have gained under your supervision. I really enjoyed our chit-chat regarding Korean actors. Ma’am, I’ll be waiting for my autograph from ‘Dustin’. (“ ,)
