Dili ko mag english2 galore kay mahurot akong baul unya dili pa nako mabuhos tanan akong ginabati og mga gina gunam2 karon.. hahaha XD

Anyway, my college life had been a super-whatever-roller-coaster-ride. Daghan kaayo og ups (with the oh-so-special participation of my beloved adik and lokarette college friends), og naa pud mga downs (special mention ang mga F nato dira...) Siguro tungod pud ni sa akong course na super random gipili kay abi nako na kung maau og math kay pwede ra didto (dapat nag engineering ko kung mao man gali!) 

I was a consistent honor student sa grade school and high school, but sa college, consistent japun... consistent og pasar og ga atang og milagro.. at least diba?? 

Speaking of milagro... "Miracles" in english, the greatest miracle that happened to me in college was when I was not able to reach the required QPI in order to stay in the accountancy program. It was in my 2nd year in college. It was a shaky term for me. When the time came na hapit na namo ma get ang grades, I prayed. I asked God for guidance and a sign--kung accountancy ba jud ko belong or somewhere else... Kung ako jud ni, ako jud ni, kung dili, dawaton nako kung asa man ko ibutang ni God. But when the time came na makuha na namo ang grades, wala ko ni abot sa QPI.. Hilak galore ko adto na time... I accepted the fact na di nako maka continue sa accountancy, pero sad japun kay after sa tanan effort og time na invest, in just a snap,wala na.. Then, ga sinamok-samok ko sa ako friends kung unsai course na angay nako shift-an na di pud masayang ako na take na units and kanang bagay ra sa ako.. I was really lost. Like, nawala kalit ang path na akong gina follow sa woods. ...so anyway, katong time na nahuman nako asikaso para maka shift og another course, nitawag ang isa sa akong ka-batch na advised to shift pud.. Gi lower daw ang average QPI requirement.. and the amazing thing is, igo ra jud sa ako! so, i prayed again, if ako ba i-grab again ang 2nd chance... and papa told me na tiwason nako ang accountancy since pasok pa ko, and that was the sign I prayed for.

fast-forward... as usual, consistent igo pasar ra japun ko sa accountancy.. naai bagsak, gi overload daun para lang jud maka graduate on time (march 2012) pero.. sipyat japun ko sa isa ka subject, and kailangan i-summer... which means.. di pako maka graduate on time, and ma delay ang akong pag paso...

did it make me sad? frustrated? surprisingly, wala jud. siguro kay na foresee napud nako na mabagsak ko adto na subject based sa ako standing, so murag na accept ra nako if ever di jud ma bira pataas. 

The first thing I did after knowing my grades and the fact that I can't graduate on time, I texted my mother. It was okay with her, well, there's nothing we can do about it anyway. Next, she told me to text my father, and he said it's okay. And with that, I gained the "permission" to be really okay. I'm really blessed to have them as parents... so anyway, some people and friends became worried and sad for me na di ko maka graduate on time. I just laughed it off and said to them "pag paso nako next march, CPA nako!" and that became my mantra. Instead of making myself down and sad kay wala ko naka graduate on time, gi face nako ni as a challenge to myself na dapat CPA na ko sa 1st take pa lang. And with God's never-ending grace, today, March 23, 2013, I can finally say my college life has been finally concluded--not only I was able to wear my toga, hood and cap w/ tassel, but also I was able to march as a CPA, as promised. :) with a matching job pa! hahaha XD so i guess this wraps up my random free-writing storytelling whatever...

congratulations to all graduates!!
