Allison Iraheta- Alone and my new wallet in Shocking Pink

To start off the new year, I would like to share this song. I don't know but this song hits me hard. It's a song I can identify myself with. I love how strong and soothing this song is with that sense of melancholy.

To my crush "guy", this song goes out to you :P I will love you until lemons turn sweet. ♥ Hindi mu lang alam. haha

and let me share with you my new wallet in a shocking pink color. Got it 10% off the price!

The people who turned my life around♥

Hello Guys!

I'm so happy the world didn't end last Dec 20! Haha. I'm still alive and kicking :D I had fun going out with my high school friends on the 20th ! Yes, we were brave enough to celebrate on the day the world was supposed to end.haha . Anyway, it was great to see them and it was like all old days came back. They are my friends who would stick around for a life time although we get to see each other occasionally. I can't forget these guys that got me through all the thick and thin spots of my high school life. Whenever I get to see them, I always get a glimpse of how enjoying my high school was. They are the ones who can make me laugh to death.

I enjoyed catching up with the latest chikas and updates in our lives as well as what has been happening to our other highschool batchmates in short chitchats. I love the way how we pass around jokes and call each other silly names we used to do way back in highschool.

Seeing you guys was like a walk down memory lane. It brings back good memories and relives the old times. You guys rock! Hope you guys enjoy what remains of 2012!

Qatar, I will see you in a year! InshaAllah!

Doha, Qatar

Dear Qatar,

I will see you in a year ♥
and until then, wait for me ♥

I'm back!

CPA Review School of the Philippines (CPAR) the best

Helloooooooooooo! I'm back with my name three acronym-letters longer. Nope, it's not an ATTY but it's CPA. Yes, I am now a Certified Public Accountant.

My almost 5-month review at Manila was not easy at all. I had to summon up courage to study away from home and had to learn that alongside the word independence should be the word responsibility.

The Board Exam

After Business Law and Taxation which happened to be my last subject, I felt that I am more close to passing than failing though I felt incredibly upset for taking the exams too lightly. Although I caught the flu on the last day of the exam but still my confidence was sky-high and failing was even out of my options. But all these high hopes had changed the day the results came. I became so paranoid not because I didn't fare well in the test but because I made more than five erasures . Yes! I have made more than 5 erasures ( 6 to be exact) out of stupidity and carelessness. I really cannot resist letting the numbers kicked out because of such stupidity. They say an erasure is a mortal sin in the board exam and it's a big no no. Nonetheless, I took the risk. So I guess that explains why I only got 86% in that particular subject.

I have experienced what every CPA candidates goes through. Unexplainable nervousness, butterflies in the stomach and the list goes on. I could still remember the high anxiety I felt while waiting for the results. I am sure that time that every CPA candidate was filled with prayers and hopes of passing this dreaded exam and I am not an exception to that. Negative thoughts came pouring in.

That precise moment when you scroll your mouse down to see your name in the roster of new CPAs was an extremely extremely nerve-wracking experience. It felt like my heart is going to burst out of my chest and I found the world blurry for a moment . I nearly collapsed but it was the best feeling in the world. I could still remember how I screamed and cried out of joy. I was at cyberzone in SM Manila that time. Everyone was giving me this heartless stare and their soo not comfortable look. But hey, for one moment in my life, just one moment, I OWN THE WORLD :) I just couldn't believe myself shouting and crying and not caring about what people would say about me. Mura kog nadaog sa loto ( I feel like I just won the lottery) haha.

My mom, dad and relatives were very proud of me that they have to hang my tarpaulins in every tree (exaggeration) around my hometown with my huge pixelized face.

Passing the CPA board exam is one hell of a great start! I'd become someone great someday! To God be the glory! Qatar here I come :) InshaAllah!

Some random pics

Confused

Sexy Pink Dress

I'm torn between two answers. Should I be honest or just tell the plain truth? If you were in my shoes. What would you tell a friend who would often ask you "Does this outfit make me look fat?" In my case, I would always say yes which is usually ( but not always ) the truth. I just don't wana hurt her feelings. Would you care for some bluntness?

CPAR, here I come!

bye bye for now

Hi guys!
Posting has been light around here because I am enjoying my summer and at the same time preparing myself for the upcoming board exam review in CPAR Manila.

For an aspiring CPA , months from now is the time when stress levels hit the roof. I am conditioning myself physically, mentally and emotionally, I think this aspect of preparing is crucially important and rarely treated with the seriousness it deserves. I need to start scanning my books . I need to recall everything ..Waah. Panic is the word. I can't review my lessons from first year to fifth year in a month. Lots of things went crashing into my head. I need to study but I have so little time. It's something I should be very very serious about. I WILL PASS THE CPA BOARD EXAMS. So Bye bye for now!

Life is Unfair

Life's unfair

How would you feel if you've been given a grade 3 in a six units subject, when you deserve a better grade?? It seriously pulled down my CGPA. I have good grounds to believe that my professor graded me unfairly, out of mistake. My classmates who have grades lower than me, got a grade of 2 :( I have nothing against my professor coz I know humans are subject to error. I appealed my grade to my professor, and she eventually realized her mistake. But she said the grades are already locked. She could no longer change mine. How sad. Moving on with a heavy heart :)

Globe Tattoo Sonic Review

I lost my DSL connection last week so I borrowed my father's Globe tattoo sonic which Globe has recently launched along with tattoo 4G flash. In hopes of achieving the promised speed of of 7.2 Mbps (DL) when connected to the HSPA+ network, I tried this one for 5 consecutive days using the free 120 surfing hours. The first couple of days of using this, I typically achieve an average speed of 36kb. The connection was soooooo slow and extremely unreliable. I tried different settings to get it to work, to no avail it was a total crap that I had to throw it away. Globe shouldn't market and sell this broadband in areas where they know it won't work. It's absolutely atrocious. So frustrating. I have nothing positive to say about Tattoo Sonic. :( Globe if you are reading this, I am truly disappointed with the Tattoo Sonic :( Just a waste of money and time.

Goodbye College, Goodbye VIVO!

MSU-IIT Accountancy Students : Czar,Jamal, Mao, Mariol, Me, Angelo

It has taken me awhile to formulate my next post. It's just that I've been trying to make out what has happened to me and the rest of the VIVO's in the past three weeks. Am I almost there? One more grade and it's either an INC or a 3 :( Life has always been cruel and UNFAIR. Guess, I'd have to break down this potentially overwhelming tide of emotional and physical strain. Well, I suppose I won't technically be granted my undergrad degree until the mean ( just kidding :D) people in the Dept. have made sure I've passed all my subjects , but I've never been the one to wait for their petty little bureaucracy to get this all togerher.

Speaking on behalf of the VIVO's, how are we suppose to pass the exams? When we only got 2.5 months to review our subjects from first year to fifth year? Not to mention our other very demanding subjects :( and we also had a Feasibility Study to finish at the end of the semester to graduate. Just imagine the amount of crap being thrown at us? Like my classmates, I had this little inkling of the shattering events that were looming on the horizon. I daresay that if we have been given an unvarnished preview of what was to come, we might not have appeared quite so unflappable and weak. We could have wished for the qualifying exams a year ago, and It could have been a lot easier to accept if we fail.

I just don't understand why they had to make some of our exams so unrelentlessly difficult when our job is to only debit or credit after grad. Why must everything be made to be so difficult and stressful when we are just a week away from graduation? I just don't understand the reason behind the high pressure situations we are always put in? We don't expect to have our hands held, but isn't it enough for us to take the lead on making sure we study, making sure we review our subjects and attending our review classes? After all, we couldn't have reached this far, if we aren't that good????

Sure like us, they have also their reasons. I guess we just have to hear them out. also.

Now is probably one of the toughest times I had in college. If I hopefully pass. I don't feel like I wanna graduate, I just don't want to say goodbye to everybody and to someone very close to me :( I’m not brave or bold enough to say goodbye to my friends and freak out about leaving college. Oh my. The weight off my shoulders is gone, hell I feel so mature now. Except for the other day when I had a petty fight with bembee for just a single choclate he won't share. The below thoughts does a much better job in describing my thoughts :

As we’re soon going to graduate

We are going to go our way and separate

Some will stay together

And some will drift away As we’re soon going to graduate

We are going to go our way and separate

Some will stay together

And some will drift away

We have couple of days left till that day

We have time to spend

With our classmates and friends

Till that day comes

I’ll be thinking of the memories in my head

All the lectures jokes and all the things we’ve said

Some things that we’ve said or done we may regret

Some things memorable, I’ll never forget

I couldn’t believe

How time passes by

How 2 months ago I wanted to leave.... Now my mind has changed.... And want to stay

Soon I’ll have tears in my eyes

Thinking this is the day

We separate

And walk away

As I slowly cry

And turn around and say goodbye………..

To all the VIVOs, thank you for all the fun we have had in the last five years. Adios!

My Pink Satchel Bag

Howdy. I apologize for not being able to update my blog for months. I have been really busy with school lately and I have a Feasibility Study to catch up on, and with the exams just around the corner and class reports here and there I haven't had too much time to blog.

Pink Cambridge Satchel Bag

So today, I am going to share my latest fab for the month of January :D My 13 inch Pink Cambridge Satchel bag. :D Apparently, this is a knock off fofthe outrageously expensive Cambridge Bags which are prized at P 10,000 + I am not really a bag person but when I saw this one online, I instantly fell in love with it that I had to ask my cousin to send me a locally made one. :D It features an extended front pocket and long strap, and it comes in a very cute pink shade :D I was able to put all my school stuff in it that includes my thick Applied Auditing Book by Cabrera, wallet, pouch, pencil case, my qwerty nokia phone, my eyeglasses, two notebooks. Perfect bag for my school stuff! Who would say not to this locally made satchel ?

To welcome the New Year, i just had my hair cut :D

My Fibrella Umbrella

So I bought myself an en expensive umbrella only to be lost after a week of using it. Grrrr. At Php 400, this umbrella is not of course the most expensive umbrella in the world but unfortunately it's a bit expensive already by my standards. I cried my heart out when I realize I lost it in a fastfood chain. Not because of the expensive umbrella alone but more because of the fact that I did it again!! I cant count anymore the number of umbrellas I have lost in my life. It's so disappointing to know it happens all the time. I felt bad and was on a foul mood for two days. I swear to myself that I will never spend so much money on an umbrella again just to be sure I don't lose one again . Umbrellas are made to be lost.
