This is the Moment!

"This is the moment!

This is the day,

When I send all my doubts and demons On their way!

Every endeavor, I have made - ever Is coming into play,

Is here and now - today!

This is the moment, This is the time,

When the momentum and the moment Are in rhyme!

Give me this moment

This precious chance I'll gather up my past

And make some sense at last!

This is the moment,

When all I've done

All the dreaming, Scheming and screaming, Become one!

This is the day

See it sparkle and shine,

When all I've lived for Becomes mine!

For all these years, I've faced the world alone,

And now the time has come

To prove to them I've made it on my own!

This is the moment

My final test

Destiny beckoned, I never reckoned, Second Best!

I won't look down, I must not fall!

This is the moment,

The sweetest moment of them all!

This is the moment!

Damn all the odds!

This day, or never, I'll sit forever With the gods!"

If not for Father I would not have known that this is the song sung by Dr. Jekyll when he transforms into Mr. Hyde. I like the message of the song though and I hope that indeed all my dreaming and scheming and screaming will someday make me into a somebody not just an anybody.

I hope that someday I would be an inspirational or motivational speaker. That someday I will not just be hearing of other peoples successstory but instead they will be hearing mine.

Update!

Yipee! I could just shout for joy if only I don't live in a row of houses where only a thick slab of concrete divides us! I am at home tapping at my laptop! Ain't it grand? I can now type away with pleasure and the nice thing about this set up is the wi-fi connection is free! Thanks Charina (whoever you are) for your generosity.

I've been receiving lots of 'how is yumi?' questions lately. I don't have her latest pic. I think this was taken a month or two ago when we attended our neighbor Aaliyah's birthday.

Hahaha look at her socks! It looks so Japanese. It looks like she is wearing Kimono.

Hairy Story

Just few days more before the big day and my hair is like a freakin static rug! I need help BAD! I only have 100 bucks to my name to date so getting a perm is out of the question. Gawd! I hate my dry frizzy hair!
I also got a problem with my make-up. If you want to chip in for my graduation glam look please email or text me and I'll gladly accept donations in any form.
I can't wait to earn money so I could have money to spend for my vanity. But the APAC job now seems like a dream. My aunts says I better back out now!aaargghh I so want that job!

A Week More

A week from now and I'll already be graduating from college. I am so excited but I have not attended a single practice yet! I just hope I won't mess up on 'the' day!
I have been so busy complying with my APAC requirements that I am so exhausted already. What's worse? It is just 1 pm! The day is young but I am already wilted!
Shall I push through with working for APAC?

I've Nailed APAC

Ok I'm ecstatic!
I nailed my dream job - to be a call center agent! APAC hired me for 8,000 Php last night! I know it's way way cheaper than what my best buds Tata and Waw got on their first pay check but hey I'm in the province so, I'll take it!
My training starts on May 2 so I can still attend to the scheduled school enforced review. Everything seems to fit perfectly.
Wish me luck!

Studying Actually

I breezed through elementary and high school and even some college at UP without breaking a sweat. I was undeterred by exams and other trivialities that would usually cause other students sleepless nights.

It is no wonder that I wasn't able to pass the Philippine Science High School second screening and that in high school I steadily slipped through the ranks from the first section to the third section on my junior years. I only regained little glory on my senior year when I climbed back up to the second section. Even though my mother tried to help with my math by tutoring half of my barkadas so I would be enticed to learn more about it, I would usually end up snoring halfway through her tutoring. That was how lazy I was as a student. College was even much worse. My heart was stone cold from getting failing grades in my Biology course that I ended up being forced to shift to another course.

Back then I would crawl to my bed early and wake up late. I had no study habits at all. Until now, I abhor memorizing! I never did get to learn that skill despite the dozens of self help books and websites I've tried.

But studying in St. Sko was a totally different story. Everyone was so competitive that I felt compelled to at least do something unless I get to be labeled as bobo.

It was here at St. Sko that I've first pulled all nighters and actually finished reading my thick textbooks! I was never contented with merely reading. I would highlight the texts with different colors, flag the pages and scribble at the margins. I would even take down notes which I never got to read just so I would have better retention.

These days, my books make good bed fellows. They lull me to sleep. Since third year, I had developed a sleeping problem. At night I only take catnaps. I'd sleep for a few hours than wake up and read and then I sleep again then read... It has already become a habit.

I'm Marching this March!

I will soon end a chapter of my life. Soon is give and take 20 days from now.
Yesterday was probably the longest queuing I did in my entire life. It was not because the line was as long as the American Idol audition but it was more because as I wait in line my heart was palpitating and in my brain I chanted a silent prayer. I tried to distract myself by reading New Moon but that didn't sway my hearts trepidation.
I have a gut feel that I will graduate this March but I did not want to be over confident; after all there was my so-called attitude to consider. I was so happy and relieved when I saw what my CI wrote on my 1/8 sheet of yellow paper.."You passed!" with matching smiley face. Gawd I was so relieved that after reading the paper twice I texted my Aunt's that "I'm marching this March. Fatten the pig!". Lola if you are reading this, we have to slaughter the pig!
The Board exam is on November so I have plenty of time to accomplish what I've always wanted for the longest time..to read all my nursing books without pressure and at my own leisure.
Send me gifts on my graduation or if not you could give it to me in time for my birthday!hehheheh
It looks like my dream of becoming a millionaire at 25 will be deferred until I'm 30. Still, I'll get that first million soon.
