Hehe sana ako'y palarin... at KPMG sana tumawag ka na huhuhu

If not HELLO PRIVATE FIRMS!!! YA-HA!!!

Once I have my asthma controlled again there are a lot of things that I'm itching to do.

1)Clean my dirty room. Being a person with "No Permanent Address" (NPA for short) left smelling like an attic. I refuse to let anyone do it for me because I want to remember were I put all my things.

2)Continue my job hunt.

3)Exercise...

Now, as a person with a mandatory bed rest order from the trusty doctor there's nothing much that I can do :(

My life as an official bum started already. I am a bum in the middle of a job hunt who is unfortunate to have her worse asthma attack ever! Good thing I had the attak AFTER my interview with a prospective employer and not during the interview itself. The attack will blow my chances even if its not rally my fault.

My doctor said that my lungs sounds so bad! "Maingay" daw... I ended up taking 7 different medicines. Two to take care of the effects of my acute attack (ie. inflamation, infection etc..) and four to control the asthma itself. >_< Believe me having allergic rhinitis and asthma hit you at once won't be a walk in the park. And as usual, I made Mercury Drug Store a few thousands richer.

Fire away!!! XD

These questions are from Cheska hehehe

1. Leave me a comment saying you want to do the meme.
2. I'll respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better.
3. You should update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. You should include this explanation and offer to ask someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be asked, you will ask them five questions.

Questions:

1. If you weren't born as a human, what do you think would you be?

If I weren't born as a human, I would be born as a goddess--the Goddess of Beauty (Walang aangal! Hahahaha!) \^o^/ I will be the advocate of feminism.

2. How many times do you shower a year? In your lifetime? Why?

*wait--gets her trusty calcu* In a year I think that would be 730 (half baths included) In a lifetime for a rough estimate 730*22 + 730(49/360) banker's rule na lang ah? ~_~'' bale more or less 16159.3611 baths/showers to date.
I shower because I want to feel fresh and clean! ^_^

3. Why not Maria? Why Pam?

I honestly don't know. Actually, nobody ever calls me by "Maria". However, they call me "Marian" at home. They added a "n" because they said when I was young (think toddler years) I looked like the famous actress during those days and the actress used "Marian" as a screen name. But at school, I was called "Pam" or "Pamela". I do not know how that happened but I remember feeling annoyed because I'm used to being called "Marian" but people kept on using "Pam". I felt like they're calling somebody else when they call me by that name. By grade 3 I've given up all hope in to making averyone realize that I like "Marian" better. That was looooong ago.. You know being a kid with a kid's brain I didn't like "Pam". But now that I'm older I find the name "Pamela" to be a very beautiful and alluring name. It's not because its my name. It's more of a realization that developes in you when you get older and become more mature.

4. If clothes were to be banned tomorrow, what would you wear?

Nothing if the purpose is to cover myself up. I'd probably do a Kate Winslet-titanic-getup of wearing a necklase with a big gem for a pendant. As a Kahlil Gibran said (I'll be quoting from memory), there is beauty in nakedness. What are clothes for but as a shield to unclean eyes? Remove the unclean and there will no longer be use for them.

Pero syempre magdidiet muna ako bago lumabas ng bahay XD

5. Who do you think will win in an all out, no holds barred battle: betty boop or olive oil (yung sa popeye!)?

Hmmm... Olive Oil wold probably win as she's more aggresive but Betty Boop won't give in without a good fight. Betty Boop will be busy to keep her boobs and butt from dflating during the fight hehehe...

It's been a long time since I last posted/emailed/wrote anything. I didn't know that the last post I made was my 2007 year end meme. Wow! And to think 2008 will end in 2 months time. Many things happened to me which made me grow as a person. Either way I'm back! YAhooo!!!

At least all the hard work paid off!!! CPA na ako!!!! ^____^

Last May, when I first took the board exam, Eddie told me that the CPA board exam is "just a license". Not that it isn'nt important, he just wants me to look beyond "the license that will qualify us as professional accountants". He wants me to look on the journey that I took to obtain it. "It is a journey where you will know yourself more, know the people who really matter and those who don't. Understand yourself more as well as others", he said. (The original message was way, way better but I lost it already so I wrote from memory). And, with that said, I realized that he was right.

When I first took the exam (got a conditional rating) I coudn't fully express how it felt like. Some of guys were puzzled why I don't seem myself when I called some of you up afterwards. I just couldn't find the words to fully express what I felt. From describing how it feels to answer an exam made by a "phd-ed" person who's grammar is worse than a 3rd grader to keeping ridiculous "rumors" and what not about the board get to you.. to the happiness and fulfillment of knowing that your friend, who passed, is so greatful to you since you're one of the reasons why she passed.

It took me some time to put my thoughts together so that I could adopt the right attitude. I remembered the saying/prayer, "Lord grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the strength to change the things I can, and the WISDOM to know the difference." I realized that, given that government inefficiencies won't enable the BOA to really come up with an exam trully reflective of the "should be" competencies of future professional accountants, at least I have an edge for not being too bookish and at least I know my grammar (though not perfect, damn I suck at spelling BIG TIME!!). I can spot an error if need be and change sentences into one that actually makes sense. And now I've proven to myself that you don't really need to solve mountains of exercises in order to pass the board (this belief strenthened upon my passing last October 20). Understanding and comprehension is the key rather than blind memory work and this will be my dogma forever(bato bato sa langit, ang tamaan wag magalit).

Lastly, I learned to value others more. This exam business made me lost time for the people who matter--my family and friends...YOU... Those who through think and thin, even if I wasn't able to let my presence felt for almost some time, still prayed for me and believed in me. For almost 2 years and a half of prioritizing studies and overlooking other things, I would like to say I'm sorry. Not that I'm saying that it was "entirely" wrong we can't run from our responsibilities as students. Its just that, now, I know what will trully make me happy, fulfilled and content with my life. This time, I want to reestablish my relationship with people. For the past years, you've always been ready to listen to me. This time, I'd like to be there for you.

*hugs*

These kind of stuff is something you post before the year ends. mine is kinda late though with the crappy net connection and the lack of computers to use. My poor laptop spent time alone in the dorm during New Year's eve. Anyway, here goes!! I got this wonderful meme/poll/evaluation thingy from Risha so credit goes to her!!

My 2007 Year-end Review
January 12, 2008

1. What did you do in 2007 that you’ve never done before?
Lose my rational thinking in everyway possible. My emo side was at its peak which I really, regret. to think my dogma in life has always been to curtail emotions if need be. I've become too sensitive that I don't seem like "me". (The last sentence uttered by Doc)

2. Did you keep your new years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
Yes, in a sense that I graduated didn'e I hehe. And yea I made some for this year to start the path towards enlightenment (naks!) and self reintegration (nosebleed na to!)

3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
Nope. Well at least none that I know of... I haven't been updated with other people in a while.

No, well not literally. They "died" in a sense that they didn't seem to be the same people I met and known.

I don't need anyone to make me happy and I don't need to change for anyone for that matter. I want it to be a take it or leave it thing from now on.

Don't get me wrong its not that I'm starting to "hate" the Chhristmas break, lets just say it kinda started out wrong. I've done some stupid things and I feel like it had a ripple effect. Or maybe sabog lang talaga ako.

For one thing, I have not yet started ANY of thy supposed-to-be plans like cleaning my room, studying etc... (Ok maybe I can ditch studying for a while... the issue with Jun made me read 4 chapters of auditing and solve my Christmas problem set). *sighs* Next, I knew that my Uncle would leave for Bicol which would mean I'll be in charge with the kitchen BUT I totally FORGOT to make a grocery list. Grrr... the fridge ended up half empty. Kawawa naman ang mga kapatid ko... magsasawa sila sa adobo since di ko nasabi kay mama mga bibilhin. Arg... so stooopid of me. Another thing, I ended up being errand girl for my mom, which I don't really mind. Anyway I accompanied her to the mall. Nasa casa yung kotse at coding yung isa pa so we had to commute. On the way home, this gigling college girl pushed me as I was about to board the jeep. I ended up having this nasty cut by my elbow and bruises on both knees. Grr..

@_@ grabe... ang malas ko...
