I was browsing about The Notebook a couple of months back when I barged into this photo and I told myself I’d have to search and reblog this one someday when I get to feel the same way. Haha! I guess this is it, and I’m glad I found myself at it.
“The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? Though an army encamps against me, my heart shall not fear; though war rise up against me, yet I will be confident.”
-Psalm 27: 1, 3
This has been the closest to truth personality test I’ve ever tried so far, disregarding the first and emphasizing the last paragraph though. lol
Your view on yourself:
You are intelligent, honest and sweet. You are friendly to everybody and don’t like conflict. Because you’re so cheerful and fun people are naturally attracted to you and like to talk to you.
The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don’t judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren’t necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people’s eyes.
Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.
The seriousness of your love:
You are very serious about relationships and aren’t interested in wasting time with people you don’t really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.
Your views on education:
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.
The right job for you:
You’re a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you’ll be set for life.
How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don’t succeed. Don’t give up when you haven’t yet even started! Be courageous.
What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.
Who is your true self:
You like privacy very much because you enjoy spending time with your own thoughts. You like to disappear when you cannot find solutions to your own problems, but you would feel better if you learned to share your thoughts with a person you trust.

A few months back, my dad revealed to me that I was clearly never expected to be in this world at all. Alright, that was stupid, but let me stretch this idea out:
I happened to learn from my father last year, during a casual conversation, that before my mom knew she was pregnant, she’s already been using an Intra-Uterine Device (IUD) to prevent her pregnancy. Well, for the reason that they already have six children before me. Nonetheless, they couldn’t bear the thought of me being conceived in contempt of the IUD inside my mother’s uterus.
This sounds so eccentric because I’ve read over the internet that lower than 1 out of 100 typical couples using an IUD will have an accidental pregnancy. That means using an IUD as a contraceptive provides a 99% assurance that these women would avoid pregnancy. In fact, studies indicate that the IUD is one of the most effective and safe methods of birth control. And me getting a way out of it? That. is. just. too. crazy. Since an IUD should only be removed by a medical professional, and considering my mom’s case with me, my parents had to immediately fly all the way from the province to Makati Med to resolve the matter. And thank God my mom’s doing well ever since I came out and I am here, alive, typing this close-to-bizarre trivia of myself. -_-
My dad, after opening these things up, which I don’t think would become a storm in a teacup, said that maybe God has a plan why He worked things the other way, why He gave me a chance to come out and breathe into this world, and that because I have a great God-given purpose to accomplish someday. All of these, were just too deep for me to devour. At some point I’d like to believe, despite me being so ordinary, that somehow my dad is right, or maybe not. :|

New year. New Life. New chances. New beginnings. I’m gonna try this! :D
1. Hibernating. Okay, I started deactivating my facebook account during my undergrad review (my account was confined in milky way for one year since 2011) because I told myself if I wanted to focus on academics, then I’d have to give up certain things I clearly knew would be too destructing for me. I was dang broken-hearted then, so I really needed it too. Well, I guess it did work for me. Haha!
2. Graduation. I finally graduated earlier this year from college and I’m just so blessed to be one of those remaining few BSA students in our batch who were able to make it on time. And the best part was that I still managed to graduate with distinction —which I never really expected at all. O.O
3. Working on yearbook. My being unusually productive this year was even more fulfilling because I had to work on the design and layouts of our Annual. It’s amazing how I was able to still put a decent leeway for my love of art and the like notwithstanding the toxicity of my profession that’s completely way too opposite from it. LOL
4. Family. I had a lot of priorities this year but I do admit I really needed to be with my family once in a while. The feeling of being so carefree when I’m with my parents in the mall, or maybe jogging outside with them is so priceless! I must say, wherever I will be heading in the future, my family will always be the reason for my hard-works and my sadistic attempts to get rich. HAHAjk.
5. Dorm life. I never imagined myself living in a dorm since I am used to commuting for one plus half an hour to school during my undergrad years. But yeah I tried to welcome myself to dorm-life with my college buds during the review because I really had to. And heck, this was the most exhausting, at the same time most fun-filled episode of my life this year.
6. Sick. Speaking of dorm, aside from being too sick on how to finish nagging problems from a multitude of review materials during my CPAR days, I was also a record-holder of the most number of check-ups in the hospital for the past 4 months of being dorm-bound. UTI, fever, tension headaches coupled with handouts I never get to finish until examination day —okay, those were my hell days but I still consider them as one of my bests. :)
7. Almost giving up. Being ill has been one of my worst endeavors during the review. It was that feeling when you couldn’t even make a good shot at everything you yearned doing good for because first and foremost, your health doesn’t permit you to do so and you’re tired of hoping you’ll be alright the next day.
I remember I actually didn’t finish answering the last subject of my final pre-board because of my fever and up until my actual board exam, every waking morning gets harder and harder for me to go on. I’ll never forget how I cried out in silence in our dorm’s bathroom before going to the examination site because I don’t know anymore if I can even make it at all. That’s the very point when I felt my faith has been sort of being wrecked. I couldn’t stop asking Him why?

It’s been quite a month, and months of me hibernating on my sanctuary. It’s sad I haven’t been updating this site lately. But anyways, this post is a focal point of everything underneath the why. :)
This photo sums it all up! I’ve been dreaming of this for the past five and a half years of study-struggle. And finally, God is so good He permitted me to be where I’m at.
The giving of certificates! We never expected we’d all be receiving this on stage since we’re about 2000+ scheduled for the morning program. It was abruptly done considering our number but still, it feels so good to be up there.
Then we embraced the chance to pose for a shot with our two Board Topnotchers. Accordingly, this is the first time in history of CPA Board Examination in the Philippines to have two passers who shared the top one spot, and this batch has apparently garnered the second highest passing percentage in its history as well. That sounds crazy, knowing I was a part of it. :)
My all-time college bud, Glecie! We’ve been sharing the same sentiments on accounting scrambles and ramblings since our freshmen year, then became dorm-mates during the review, and the best part was passing the board together. :)
We then headed to Century Park Hotel for PSBA’s and CPAR’s testimonial dinner for new CPAs.
Hence, my testimony. (Why the heck am I always the first one to do this stuff? I’m definitely cursing my surname -again- for that matter.)
A group photo with the most revered accountant, CPAR Director and my one of a kind inspiration, Atty. Conrado T. Valix, CPA.I guess every BSA student should’ve known his story, before taking the board.
With the all-time favorite CPAR Reviewer who has an extremely extraordinary humor and talent in green-joking (LOL), Atty. Dante Dela Cruz.
With the father & son tandem, Sir Conrado and Christian Valix.
