yesterday...


HIGHER UPS...(at around 8:00)
Last night, there was a meeting convened at the top floor of our boerding house. Our landlady recounted before us the new rules and regulations we must comply with in regards to Saint Mary's University (the school I/we attend) scheme. I honestly don't know how to call it. He-he! Higher ups, I mean some of the university's employees (the dean of women, VP acad actually, and even the university president) make a semestral inspection of all lady marian's dormitory to see if we, students, maintain or adapt the CHSF (clean, healthy, safe and friendly environment) and 4C's, which are included in the mission and vission of the institution.
They also capitulated to us the plans they have set for the coming christmas party. Why higher ups? It was the word for the night. There was this instructor, our landlady's friend, who planned for the christmas party, kept on using the word. Wala lang..:)



FAREWELL....(5:30)
Our Accounting 1 instructor already said hid goodbyes yesterday before he started the lecture. There will be someone from allied bank to take over his schedule to us. Awh! My classmates felt so sad when they heard his farewell. We'll surely miss him. Pero ako naman, ewan ko kung anu nakain ko at jolly na jolly aku that time. I even jested, “Ayaw mu lang yata sa'min Sir eh?” But he kept on talking about our new instructor and mentioned her name. Ako naman si bingi. “Sir lalake ba?” Tapos sabat netong kaklase ko, “Jocelyn nga eh, lalake?” Then “Lalake sana mas maganda.” 'kako. Ayun!!! Bunch of laughter exploded in the whole room. Akala siguro ng mga kaklase ko, naghahanap ako ng wafung propesor. But nah. Mas wala lang talaga akong hiya 'pag lalakeng guro. Pero marahil, nagkataon lang na hindi istrikto yung mga former teachers ko. And it's not to brag up naman, I had always been “Sir's” favorite back in elementary and secondary. Not that may utak ako kasi run-of-the-mill student lang talaga ako pero dahil maingay ako at walang-hiya, di naman tamang sabihing brabo kasi pagdating sa mga competition tameme lang ako. Tama na mga ang pagyayabang.

Seriously, i'll miss Mr. Eduardo Susi, our Accounting 1 instructor. Motivating kasi yung strategy niya sa pagtuturo. If you only witnessed my classmates reactions yesterday, makikita mo talaga sa facial expression nila na malungkot. Imagine, nagfa-fuck-aaktibo ang buong klase in all the exercises under the course eversince. The way he talk, he explains the lesson, mamomotivate ka talaga. We don't feel any sign of boredom pag siya na nagtuturo. Ayoko nga din talagang umalis siya eh pero di ko din naman sinabing ayoko yung papalit sa kanya. He-he! There's something to look forward to. Pero may possibility talaga na magiging unmotivated na naman kami sakaling mapalitan nga si Mr. Susi.

Hopefully


Another tiring school day is over. Just want to share the joy I am in now.
I am so inspired…
Motivated…
Directed…
And it’s a blessing…
I feel so blessed…
We did some accounting stuffs this night and I did my work so enthusiastically. Whether or not what’s happening to me is a miracle, I feel like celebrating for it. I am so happy for this.
I would want to call it a gift which would bring out my strength, faith in what I can do and direct me in my race.
Hopefully, it will be the beginning of serious effort.
Hopefully, I won’t be wrong in my outlooks of this sudden change.
Hopefully, I can’t be wrong in seeing this as an opportunity—opportunity I have to grab, and opportunity that would bring me to success.
I might encounter failures in my way ahead but….
Hopefully, this inception would bring out the best in me.
Hopefully, it is now the answer of my prayers—motivation.
I believe though that in education, it is still best to let yourself learn.
Being in college, we encounter more thorough and harder learning process than what we had witnessed in primary and high school, but letting ourselves become mature in thinking and in doing will be the solution to pass this chapter of our lives.
We may encounter problems, trials and slip-ups in the future, but may those ingredients of life help us grow, stronger and more determined to go on in this earthly journey.
This is all for now.
‘til my next post.

this day


This is such a wonderful day! Wee!!! We had an impromptu speech in our English 1b subject, tapos na ako last week pa, voluntary ang pag-recite and even marked “VERY GOOD” (caps-locked pa talaga nu?). A classmate had pulled out a piece of question that went like, “What is an ideal woman for you?”  After he declaimed, I asked our instructor, “Ma’am, do you believe that an ideal man or woman can be made?” She seemed not to grasp the question so for clarity, “An author said that one can make his or her ideal man or woman.” She threw me another question, “What is your ideal man?” Of course, I am always true even in not-so-serious discussions. I honestly and proudly answered, “Mapute, matalino , matangkad—at least 5’8”, hindi baduy at ayoko ng masyadong seryoso.” Then there’s this Mr. M.M (matangkad at maputi) in the class. Pinapansin ba naman. Tumayo tapos kantyawan, tawanan mga klasmeyts namin. Pero isa lang naman tong nakakatuwang nangyari this day.
Yun lang naman. But here’s one of the changes in my usual routine that I should have started but just planned to begin on Monday.
Darating na kasi yung libro namin next week. Kelangang magbasa-basa so I will have to minimize my time in blogging and in all the stuffs similar to this.
Bale, weekly updates na lang ang gagawin ko.
Heto naman yung wish ko for myself, ang kayaning magseryoso sa pag-aaral..:)

Accounting


Three years ago, I had taken up the subject Accounting 1(Basic Accounting). That time, I could be certain that I would get a grade below the grading cut-off. Although I was then very sure on my chosen endeavor as a CPA wannabe, this instinctive laziness led me to susceptible slip-up. But in three years of being away from school matters—when I left school—I have realized what went wrong, what I did wrong and that I really want to become like Dad, a CPA. Through all those years of ennui, I had wished of nothing but to rectify all those mistakes and get back to school to pursue what I had been dreaming.
Retaking the course now here at Saint Mary’s University, I now reaped this fervor to revision on my curriculum. I/We had just met our instructor for the subject, he talks so slowly, carefully but clearly which makes me listen to him so thoughtfully and understand each word he has to say that I even wish that it can be fast-forwarded for us to finish the topics we will have to tackle in no time, and also to go through the challenge once more.
Wish me luck!:)

simula ng pagbabago (hopefully)

Hay naku! Panu ku ba sisimulan?
Ganito na lang, naalala ku kasi nung gabing naiisip ko 'tong mga gusto kong isulat ngayon. Matatakutin akong bata (he-he, bata talaga eh). I always say that I don't believe in apparitions or ghosts since I have not seen any, but I ronically, I can't stay in the dark alone, I'm afraid I might see one. Ha-ha! Eto kasi, nakaya kong magpunta ng banyo namin para maghilamos, nasa edge kasi siya ng bahay namin (outside the house), wee! Hindi ata tama. Ganito na lang, kumbaga kung sa “direction”, nasa south-west siya. Kuha mu? He-he. Madilim na kasi nun, walang napupuntang shade ng ilaw run tsaka nasa loob pa ng banyo yung switch ng ilaw. Hindi na kasi ginagamit yung banyo sa may kusina. Ayun! Nakapaghilamos na ako. Bow! Achievement yun men! Ha-ha!


I had many things in mind at that very instant. There was that best friend, that boyfriend and most especially, my predicament--there was that education. I am the type who really can't take education seriously. If you'd notice me seriously reading educational books or attentively listening to our instructor, miracle yun! He-he. May mga kakilala akong araw-araw, araw-gabi, before bedtime and upon getting-up, nagbabasa muna ng book, as in routinal talaga yun and I admire them for that. Sa totoo lang, gusto kong ma'adapt ang pag-uugaling yun. SUBALIT, NGUNIT, DATAPUWA'T, kalabanin ku ba naman ang intrinsic na katamaran ko, that “K”? Ang hirap kaya.




Here I go. Gusto mo bang malaman kung anu ang gusto kong mangyari sa daily life ko? (Kahit naman ayaw mu, gusto ku pa rin i'share. Ha-ha!). Shall I start?


Eto na, sisimulan ko sa araw ng Sunday pero Monday na lang, ha-ha! (dami ko tawa 'no?). Nagigising aku between 5-6am, aga 'no?, 8 pa ang klase ko eh di maluwag pa ako sa time to do anything that MUST be done or NEEDED to be finished? PERO ang ugali ko, mahiga lang at mag-isip ng mga napakawalang-kwentang bagay. Diba dapat magbasa ako gaya ng mga hinahangaan kong estidyante diyan? Got the first point? Tapos okay naman ang pagprepare ko when going to school, before or on time naman. 8AM to 12AM ang klase ko, three subjects (AC, Eng., Socio)pero bakante ku pa pala ng 10-11 and we usually do some research at apo pilo libaray then when 12 comes, lunchtime ko na gang 2:30. Joke lang. Bale ang dapat kong gawin, lunch muna (siyempre) pero saglit lang naman yun. So, dapat review o magbasa muna o advance study. Yan naman ang pangalawa. MWF sched ko yan sa umaga. Pwede ko din naman idagdag and paglalaba whatsoever. Sa hapon naman, from 2:30 to 5:30 ang klase ko for two subjects (Finance at Filipino). Klase yun so klase lang talaga dapat (seriously). Then uwian na. Schedule ko sa boarding ang paghahanda ng dinner at nagagawa ko naman ang duty ko ("Thou shall not neglect your duties" ika nga) so punta tayo sa after “night-rituals” ko (paghilamos/ pagshower/ refresh). Gaya nila, I should get a book to read or go over my lessons or do my assignments kung meron man. Ayos diba? Nakakapagod na pag-aaral. He-he!Sa TTh sched ko naman. I usually wake up at around 5-6 kasi 7 ang klase ku. ayun! la aku bakante during Tuesdays and Thursdays, 7-11:30 ang class ku, no vacant time (pero pasaway kami. yenda muna pagdating ng science namin :D). We are usually dismissed earlier than expected na 11:30. ayun!!!
basta seryosong pag-aaral..
wise time management..
wise expenditure of money..
I should not squander every cent I receive from my brother, parents and from any of them--my family.
I should not kill the time with such nonsense stuffs.:)
Ayos diba?
IN SHORT..
Change for the better.
IN OTHER WORDS..
Gusto ku ma'feel pagiging estudyante ku but admittedly, I can't easily adjust myself to where I am supposed to be. Ayun lang!
Thanks God for letting us have this Apo Pilo library.
