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.

a search for motivation? find yours!


I was just inspired to write this piece by a fellow marian’s article in SMU mag, entitled “resurrection”. He talked about his mistakes and his eagerness to gain second chance—with lots of efforts he proved his family that he deserved second chance. He compared it with Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection.
Here I go. I was wondering if reading such articles would fulfill my craving for motivation. Still, I couldn’t say it would but at some point at least, I got an idea on how to start revealing my predicament.
Pressure, temptation and addiction are inevitable which would lead us to savage changes until we come to the extent that we’d lose our conscientious disposition that is oftentimes concomitant to downfall of our aspirations. Talking of stepping out of the line, it is what we, students love to do—having the freedom to decide for what we think is for own good and search for happiness. In other words, we really enjoy being partly independent. Independence in self-indulgence but accompanied with negligence of proper conscience. Sometimes, we fail to realize that what we are doing would lead us to darkness and incapability to recognize our real world.
I am here at SMU having been granted the opportunity to restart my bachelor’s degree—sincerest gratitude to my brother who financially supports me. Like most of you, I am covetous of the paper which declares that one has complied with the prerequisites on a certain course, after four or five years of sacrifices, determination and hard-work. BUT there’s a big problem in my case, my very predicament and I know that I am nowhere to blame my family for being too slothful in my studies. I’ve been trying hard to love formal education like how I love real-life lessons, the problem is within me. I let myself used to do such worthless stuffs—earning friends (I don’t say that winning many friends is not right) not acknowledging myself of the limitations. With this pronounced supine, the more likely I lead myself to despair and less likely I feel the pangs of compunction I was stuck with.
Being marian contributes very little to my complacence as a student because of this laziness I cannot escape but knowing that I have a wide range of chance for self-transformation and self-improvement, I am willing to do every possible way to get back to the right path. I guess I should always remind myself that “EDUCATION IS THE BEST ANTIDOTE FOR (FILIPINO) IGNORANCE” –Jose P. Rizal, and that “I have brush and colors, I paint paradise and then in I go” –Nikos Kazantsakis. None of us would want to be imprisoned with uttered ignorance so before total darkness comes, I should be able to gain life’s enlightenment—I have to regain vigor. We aim not hellish life but paradise so before hell ever seize me I must take a very tight grip to the hands of practicality.
How about you? Have you ever realized the needs of changes in any angle of your personality? :)
