How?!

HOW WILL I BE A CPA?

How will I be a Certified Public Accountant when my real dream is to be a Certified Professional Actress?
How will I be a CPA if I have my two enemies by my side--Laziness and Carelessness?
How will I be a CPA if until now I'm not that decided on whether to take the board or not?
How will I be a CPA if I have no Enthusiasm, Inspiration and Motivation?
How will I be a CPA if there's no fire burning in my heart, no desire to be on the top?
How will I be a CPA if I have no focus?

No to Flings; Yes to Love

One of our reviewer professors mentioned that love is one thing that aspiring accountants must stay away from.

I beg to disagree.

It's true that when we're in love, we're partly insane. With that statement, I agree. There's no need to prove that. Every person who has experienced love will definitely agree. But love in itself is not something that will hinder one from attaining success, more specifically passing the board exam.

I, for one, am a living proof that love even creates a bridge to one's goals rather than barriers on the road.

I will always remember my fourth year in high school and a particular term in college where I had the worst schedule, not only a 10-hour study with a 1&1/2 hour break but also a schedule that starts at 8a.m. each day (Don't you know how hard that is for an evening person like me???) But I can't deny that it was the best term in my entire stay in college. It was the best not just in terms of my emotions but also GPA-wise and achievements-wise. Well maybe it wasn't the best as compared to others, but considering the fact that I'm the King of Laziness and the Queen of Carelessness, that's already a great achievement. And all of that was because of one particular person that inspires me to wake up each morning and greet another day of learning.

And look at me now, no courage to face each day, no strength to get out of bed, no inspiration to look forward to.

Our professor had an example alright. But the thing is, the situation included a break-up scene. And that's what has made "love" a barrier to achieving their goal.

Therefore, I will reconstruct his statement.
It's not love per se that creates the barrier, it's the destruction of such love.

Don't destroy love.
Build Love. Create love.
Let's stay in love...
...no matter how far they may be.

A FAILURE

I tried to be a TRUE FRIEND
But still, I failed

I tried to be a GOOD DAUGHTER
But still, I failed

I tried to LOVE FOR REAL
But still, I failed

I tried to be a DILIGENT STUDENT
But still, I failed

I tried to be a FAITHFUL FOLLOWER
But still, I failed

I tried to be an INSPIRATIONAL INLUENCE
But still, I failed

ok fine...but still...hmm...anyway...

Maybe some people are just so good with academics but are so poor with interpersonal skills
Maybe some people are just so self-centered while some are so selfless
Maybe some people just know what to say, when to say it and how while some don't



But how am I really gonna know a person is my friend if there is no effort and they wouldn't even stand up for me and be by my side?



Maybe some people are born to be a friend while some are not...



Sorry if we all got stucked up in this traffic...
I saw the whole scene in my own perspective...
But why does it seem like I always have to be the one who will get out of the car and even get of this world to take a look at things in a different perspective...

No time to stop thinking

The problem of the world is that people listen with their ears and see with their eyes not with their hearts.
It's true
The Blind Can See
The Deaf Can Hear
and sometimes, the Mute Can Speak too

I don't blame people. They were taught when they were little kids that there are five senses. But they weren't taught about the most important sense of all. And that's what these disabled people know. That's what they have. Come to think of it, they are not disabled after all. But other strong capable people are.

MUST READ: Our Daily Bread Vol.10 Sept.1
Just don't enclose yourself within the story's boundaries of work and business

MUST WATCH: The Devil Wears Prada
Though it's a fashion movie and there are so many I-wanna-have=those gowns, I hope movie-goers will learn from this..it seems so applicable

Sorry If I wasn't rational with my thesis post

Maybe I should have been more understanding
Maybe I should have been more mature

I'm sorry, it's just that I've had enough
I've reached the boiling point so they say

But when one of my true friends called me this morning, I saw the reason.
And I now understand. I thought friendship is at the end of your priority list.
But even though there is an explanation to what happened the other day, I still see a hole in the story.
Hey, we all skipped our lunch...and you know most of us have this ulcer;hyperacidity,etc.
So...I still question where are friends in your list?
Are they even there?
But still, I'm sorry...I just can't help it

QUESTIONS,QUESTIONS
Acquaintances and friends alike would ask me one specific question. A dozen of them (not an exaggeration) would all think of the same question? And when I simply answer them "NO", I see a question of why in their faces or in the tone of their voice.Good thing they wouldn't ask 'coz I don't exactly know the answer why...

STARBUCKS SESSION(Topic is Friendship)
What's a friend? What's a group? Why? How come? These are the questions that bothered one of my guy friends' mind. And in that session, he wondered all these out loud. His explanation was simple. I could even laugh at it. In fact, I think I did, or didn't I? Friendship seemed so corny just like love. But isn't that exactly what it should be? I don't know. Maybe, we have different principles in life after all...

THE LOSER SIGN
Hey...we all know who I am talking about here? Well, of course other readers won't. But accounting peers would most likely know. Anyway, when the story was narrated I felt sad that I didn't have the chance to hear the other side of the story. In some of the situations, I actually saw myself as her. But I've got every explanation I can give. So anyway, if people believe they have the right to get mad at her, don't you think I do too? In fact, I would have more reasons to get mad. How did they learn about it? How did I learn about it? Well, maybe there's an explanation for that too....

A CHAT @ LS BENCH
It was a simple chat. We were supposed to tackle the most important issue of the time but of course we can't help but divert to other issues as well. Anyway, another one of my true friends gave me one good lesson...something about superficial friendship....and what makes it different from true friendship.

So, you could blame them...but I? I should thank them.

After some careful thought, I guess I won't put an end to what we have.
What do we have anyway?

Maybe, nothing will actually change
Except for the fact that now I know
Superficial Friends are what we are
Superficial Friends are what we'll ever be
