(December 26, 2019) Kris Mass – ninth part
… Krisnel was able to chart her life, both figuratively and literally. Wanting to represent our intuition of a 2009 great flooding and 2026 destructive earthquake both with concentration in Metro Manila, she constructed graphs that according to her were reviewed individually by Prof. Moreno, PhD in Physics of Physics Department and Prof. Perez, PhD in Math of Math Department. Her interest in constructing a graph might have begun when I was with her in the library. We were to review for a class exam when I mentioned to her how I was monitoring the United States housing market that may soon be in crisis. Instead of getting her reading materials for the exam, she got three textbooks from the book shelves to see what I was telling her. As she glanced on a page with graph of the housing market, we had the same impression, which is prior to hearing my comment: a graph showing a likely trend for a crash soon. To her surprise, one of her male friends was standing behind us. Listening to her comment about housing, this male friend began laughing quite loudly that a librarian signaled for him to keep quiet. This person was taking LIA-COM (Liberal Arts-Commerce double degree). Krisnel assumed that he was attending a Commerce class, but this person said that the professor was absent. He was teasing Krisnel of having a “crystal ball” detailing a market crash prediction before leaving us because of what he called “serious talk” with her comment on the graph. Before we went to class, Krisnel told me her concern of it affecting the Philippines in 2009 during the great flooding that it should be included in her initiative to self-study this trend of the graph with 2009 great flooding in mind. The next time that Krisnel and I would be together in the library, she was swearing to me how 2009 great flooding and 2026 destructive earthquake in simulation have some semblance to being fit when both graphs overlapped such that my predictions originated with these. But I told her that the parameters of my predictions originated simply in words, not in pictures because I could not construct a graph for these. Then I began asking about her variables, only to hear her narrative that graphs were constructed correctly according to Prof. Perez. She said that Prof. Perez was wondering why her graphs were about flooding and earthquake and their details may be suitable for graduate studies. Krisnel told me that she read a textbook, which may be used for graduate studies, on how to construct a graph before once consulted Prof. Perez on everything ambiguous to her. Next consulted was Prof. Moreno for her hypothesis. Because Prof. Moreno told her that 2009 great flooding has to take place for validity before these two graphs (2009 flooding & 2026 earthquake) may be compared in identifying a pattern of disaster, she neither revealed to me the graphs nor the variables. She intended to include the graphs if we would write a book on earthquake preparedness to be published in 2021….
