I've just had my "
Friday - the - 13th"
unlucky chain of events encounter today. And I don't know if it was just advanced, or worse, just a portion of the installments.
1. I woke up with an upset stomach. And I don't know why. I can't even describe the pain. Hindi naman siya LBM or kabag, basta, super weird. Then pati yung lower part ng back ko eh painful. "Darn it, I won't go to school today if it wasn't a Thursday, but since today is Thursday, I forced myself to go to school."
2. I left home late, the line (sa fx terminal) was soooooper long, matagal dumating ang fx, and I was 40 minutes late sa first class. Super nakakahiya kay Sir Rodel. MAS pa naman yun.
3. Last Tuesday eh wala yung Reviewer namin sa AudProbs, kaya si Sir Direk ang pumalit sa kanya. Tas kaninang 3rd subject eh yung AudProb Reviewer namin ang dumating imbes na siya. Tas badtrip. Dapat may tax kami (last subject, ang paborito kong subject at reviewer) tas ganito ba naman ang nangyari...
AP Rev:
Oi, Sir J***, ikaw na ba dito ngayon?
Tax Rev:
Eh ikaw, bahala ka. Gusto mo bang hanggang 12 ka?AP Rev:
Sige, ok lang ba?Tax Rev:
OK lang. Sige guys, byebye!RARRRRRR!!!! Yung tax nga lang ang dahilan kaya ako nagpilit pumasok ngayon tas hindi ko pa siya nakita! Grrrr...
4. Tas nung palabas na kami ng bldg eh tingin ako ng tingin sa gilid para makita kung nandun pa ung kotse niya, di ko alam eh nasa may gilid ko lang pala siya, nakaupo. Rarrr, di ko man lang siya natitigan! Hahaha
5. Pinaphotocopy ko yung MS book ni Ate Cyndi. Tas walang murang pa-xeroxan around the review school. Kaya hayun, tawid ako ng uste papuntang dapitan-antonio tas balik ulit sa España to return the book. Rarrr nakakapagod!
6. Pauwi na sana ako nang mahulog bigla yung panyo ko, so pinulot ko. Tas biglang yung bag ko naman yung nahulog. NAPIGTAS YUNG TALI!
Tang ***!!! ANG MALAS KO NGAYON!!!
Haay... sana di na ako malasin ulit ngayong pauwi hanggang bukas. :D

Heya! Long time, no blogging.
My pc's already fixed but the modem isn't working (the cd installer sucks, man!) and the dsl guys haven't arrived yet to install it. Oh well, I'm stuck here inside the net cafe.
By the way, I'd like to share this good news (
as for me) with the whole world that
I HAVE ALREADY GRADUATED!!! Yey! Graduating BS Accountancy in UST is not an easy task to do. But the euphoria was overwhelming. And I can say that every hardship, every tear, every sleepless night, and every nosebleed is worth it. Only 214 from the batch (
maybe about 10% were super seniors) graduated. And somehow I feel bad for those who failed in a subject in IAC. The frustration's hard to bear. I mean, you're just a step away from graduating but some fortuitous event blocked your chances of making it to the finish line on time. But as said, these things happen for a reason.
CONGRATULATIONS, BATCH 2007!
I'd upload some of the pics here next time.
And it really feels weird to be an alumni. I felt so old. Last June 13, classes in UST have already started. I go there everyday to hear the morning mass and I feel old whenever I see students. I was like, "
Am I really an alumni already? So that means I'm soooo frickin' older than these guys?". But the pride was there. Pride that you know you were able to get through the hurdles of college life, plus the fact that you graduated with a BSA degree.
Review classes have started last June 4. It was cool. It wasn't as fast-paced as I expected (
at least for now, I dunno if it'll still be like that when August or September comes) and I must say, "
walang bulok na kamatis sa mga reviewers". Lahat magaling (
ay meron palang isang parang hindi OK). I won't mention the Review Center nalang para safe. Baka ma-google. Heehee
At eto ang mga side comments ko...
Business Law - Ah he's frickin' funny. Throws a lot of funny (
and green) jokes to keep the students awake. My fave joke? He said that 3 things in this world don't depreciate: LAND, DIAMONDs, and WOMEN. Yes, women. As women grow old, their "
market values" go up and that's the reason why men can't afford them anymore. And the men might as well buy land instead of women, there isn't any difference anyway because they smell the same.
Heehee. But sometimes he goes overboard, and I'm often offended by his "somehow foul" green jokes. Maybe he should watch that.
P1/ToA - The legend. He's a bit funny too and I picked up a lot of accounting wisdom from him. Kudos! Kaya lang ang lakas niyang mang-trip sa ibang reviewers, panay ang side comment! Palibhasa, siya yung boss. Hahaha!
Go Direk!
Taxation - He's smart, he's funny, and he's
HANDSOME! TOTALLY GORGEOUS! *drools* Yeah he's a bit old and chubby but damn, his face and smile can launch a thousand sighs. (
Isn't it obvious that I've got a huge crush on him?) And the best thing about him is that HE'S SINGLE (
in the sense that he isn't married, but I haven't got any idea if he's got a girlfriend or if he's engaged). Dream on, Socorro, men like him have
VERY HIGH STANDARDS. His nose and lips look like Ryan Agoncillo's. Ah basta, he's gwapo. Kaya lang medyo overboard ang pagkamayabang, matindi, talo pa ang hanging dala ni Milenyo. Tsk tsk. Oh well, nakakalimutan ko na ang kayabangan niya pag nakita ko na siya. Yihee!
Auditing Theory - a great author. And a funny man too. I think he's funny even if Ate Cyndi argues that he's corny. At least his green jokes aren't too much.
Auditing Problems - two words: NO COMMENT!!!
P2 - Got a lot of comments and it won't fit in this blog.
MS - He's funny too, and cool. But he's pretty scary because he admitted he's got this talent that when he looks at a reviewer, he can predict if that reviewer can pass the Board Exams. I wonder what prediction he's got about me. And all he said was, "
marami dito", not clearing out if
MANY will pass or
MANY will fail.
And now I'm starting to feel the pressure...
First, I really NEED to pass because I can see that my parents are already old and I believe they already need to retire. Hay, and my mom kept on babbling about how tired she is of teaching. Super pressure.
Second, there are sooo many detractors and inggiteras in this world. There are so many people who don't believe in your abilities, so many who are just envious of you and so darn wished for your failure, some hate you for no reason and will be totally happy if you fail, etcetera, etcetera. Like this "ninang" that I have (naturingan pa man ring "ninang"...inutil talaga) who always lets me down since high school. When I graduated in high school with honors, she was like, "kaya lang naman grumaduate nang may honor kasi anak siya ng teacher". When I managed to pass USTET, she was like, "tsamba lang yun, madali naman kasi ang entrance exam sa UST". When I was already in the Accountancy major, she's like, "hmp, madali lang naman ang accounting, walang challenge"...and all this and all that. Puro siya paninira. And idamay ba ang accounting. And I so wanted to answer back rudely and say, "Who are you to say na 'madali ang accounting'? Bakit, CPA ka ba? Ni hindi ka nga nag-aral ng accounting eh!" I mean, my professor Ma'am Empleo, even if she's really great in accounting, has admitted that, at times, she herself didn't have an easy time dealing with accounting, and here comes some accounting charlatan, with no BSA degree, claiming that accountancy is an easy course. For me, CPAs lang talaga ang may "K" na magsabing "madali ang accounting"...
Third, I've got to pay so many UTANG NA LOOB. So many people, aside from my parents, have helped me graduate and surpass the difficulties of being an accountancy student. And special mention is my Aunt Cora who supported my education when I entered the accountancy major. Pati yung IAC courses ko siya rin ang nag-tuition. And super nakakahiya kapag nag-fail ako sa Board Exams.
Fourth, I also don't want to let the people (who believed in me) down. I must show them that I am deserving of the trust and the support that they've given me.
Fifth, I don't know how to handle the frustration if I fail. Baka bigla nalang akong tumalon sa España overpass. The mental and emotional torture will be unbearable. Imagine the people you hate (and who hate you) celebrating and cheering because of your failure. Darn it.
Sixth, it'll be a bit embarassing kapag umulit ako ng review sa review center na pinapasukan ko. Nandun yung dati kong mga prof pati si Super Crush. Ah basta, nakakahiya.
Seventh, I really need to pass FOR MYSELF.
Siya nga pala, may dagdag pressure pa pala sa buong batch. One of our former professors (
and also a reviewer) made a FEARLESS forecast and said, "sa
batch na 'to, maswerte/mataas na ang 60% passing rate." Ganon? I can still remember IAC days when he somehow "complemented" the batch kasi masyado raw derecho -- walang super talino at walang super baba. So shempre, the impression is OK ang batch namin. And now babanat siya ng ganyang linya. Hay naku, naturingan pa man ring UST siya graduate at reviewer rin namin siya tas ganun pa. Sana, ipinaramdam niya sa amin yang 'fact' na yan in a positive way, like by encouraging us to do better, blah, blah. Hay naku, sira na ang papel niya sa amin.
Until next time (
if I can find time). I still have to study. CIAO, CIAO, CIAO!!!
