Social Dance

I don't want to post something negative here, but let me complain regarding people around me. My college, supposedly known for high education, is exclusive for girls. I will not mention the specific name of my college for my privacy. I am taking social dance in PE in this semester. We have the competition, which is equivalent to our final. And, we need find a partner who can dance with us. Some of my block mates whose families rich seem to have a kind of thought that money can solve any problem. I will write down here money I have spent so far just for the subject.

1. Paid for choreography
2. Paid for very expensive costume
3. Paid for hair and make up (for the competition)
4. Paid for my partner's costume

I think I already spent P 3,000 just for PE that is not actually my major subject. I found this ridiculous and crazy. As for a partner, it is really hard for me find one who can go to my college even just for practice during day time. I was dumbfounded with what our professor said, "In the Philippines, when you enter a company, there is a dance party. So you guys have to prepare for that while you are in college". I want to ask Filipinos who are working right now, "all businessmen and businesswomen here can dance?"
