Biglang Pumasa ang Unworthy? JPIAN!

Woohooo!!  I can't believe my ass mann that I did pass that Accounting qualifying exams.  Oh baby, that really is too much for my expectation and that was pretty overwhelming for a "failure" like me but I think it was a combination of luck and a little bit of determination that helped me pass the exams.  This really is 1 closer step to a bright future ahead me!!  Since I did pass the quali let me share to you my little success story behind that:

Though given oppurtunity to go to the review center of Mam BettyCon, I didn't attend those review sessions since my father had no budget for that and he insisted me to have a self-review instead since he saw "no use" for me to attend that review anymore if besides I could do it myself (accdg to him)!  And then another reason is that 1 session day of the review exactly covered my schedule on attending my NSTP w/c is far more important since I can't avail myself even a single absent for that or else I'll be failed and if I could have absented myself one review session just to attend the NSTP, every centavo I could have consumed for every valued minutes of that review was of great value, and thus missing even a minute from it would have been quite wasted and inefficient for me (tang'na sunod-sunod na Ingles un ha, d ko nakayanan!)  Tsaka sabi ni Mam the review is only for those who are "dead serious" to get Acctg as their major and at that very moment I could not classify myself as one of those "dead serious" pips since Bus Ad is d "major" fixed in my mind!  Well that was pretty hard for me to accept not to go to the review, to admit to you I've never been trusting myself alone and so to conduct myself a "self-review" really was not an intelligent choice mga tsongkibebs and it will never ever be!  Kaya kung walang review review center, well I had no choice no matter how hard but to self-study.  My father has been pushing me on the other hand to take up Acctg kasi naman daw wala naman daw akong face value para makipag-PR sa Bus Ad, so from that, it hit me so hard (not in the face, father!) and that was enough reason for me to give Acctg a try.  Nagpapasalamat nga pala ako sa libro ni Conrado Valix na Financial Accounting at dahil sa librong 'to na 'di hamak na mas magaling kaysa sa workbook namin, natulungan akong pumasa at 'to talaga ang main "review" ko sa compound word na self-review!  Sa Rivermaya rin dahil sa kanta nilang "Alab ng Puso" that really has triggered my heart to work damn hard (not 'd literal pumping) and to persevere despite "falls" in order for 1 to say in the end: "Tagumpahahahahahahahay!!"  And the song "Final Countdown" by Survivor for always rushing me to work without delays since I've always been procrastinating and maybe this is a signal for me to finally change!  Nagpa2salamat din ako sa kilig na dala nila Sandara at Hero!  At xempre ke God en d whole family of mine!  Thanks to you all and sana tumagal ako at hindi ma-debarred!  And also my Congratulations to my friends who also hurdled the quali at marami sila, lufet nio tLGa mga babies, ur daddy wil be proud of u, btw, hu's ur daddy?? !  As well as my situation without any love life, this somehow contributed for my success since I had focused solely on my career yoow!!  Lastly, I don't care anymore 'bout my grades at this latest sem kahit bumaba pa ako (but thank God anyways, He has mercy on me and He let me pass all the subjects) and my father is more frustrated than me basta ang importante since I have now my major and days of uncertainty is finally over, back to start again (refresh kumbaga) armed with a full awareness of all the previous shortcomings in mind to eliminate this time, what I'm gonna do is to strive for the best even if that 'best' could be belittled by others!!  Kudoz en Good luck to all of us, wala na tong atrasan mga tsongkibebs.  Let the love (4 Acctg) begin and appreciate the beauty of Accounting -- taken from 'd personal collection of Mam BettyCon's Art of Motivating.

Your Dominant Intelligence is Linguistic Intelligence

You are excellent with words and language. You explain yourself well. An elegant speaker, you can converse well with anyone on the fly. You are also good at remembering information and convicing someone of your point of view. A master of creative phrasing and unique words, you enjoy expanding your vocabulary.

Love Story I
Panahon pa ata ng lolo ng nanay ni Rizal ang kasabihang nagpapakalma sa mga 'frustrated' (lalo na sa mga love-less) na mga nilalang and for the sake of non-sense blogging let me state that saying in here: "Kung hindi para sa iyo, aba'y hindi para sa 'yo!!"

Sa ordinaryong kuwento ng binatang si Restituto na sabi nila'y ubod ng kampante, makikita natin ang hindi para sa kanya...  Paslit pa lamang siya hindi lang mga babae ang natatakot sa kanya dahil sa kanyang mala-manyakis na ngiti kundi pati ang kanyang mga magulang dahil sa edad na lima (o anim ba?) hindi siya gaanong nagsasalita o sa madaling sabi hindi siya sociable!  Kulang na nga lang ipatingin siya sa doktor kung siya ba'y pipi o hindi pero salamat naman at HINDI!  Hindi lang siya ang tipo ng bata na nagwawala sa mall kapag hindi nabilhan ng toy truck!  I-fast forward natin ang kanyang kuwento dahil wala naman masyadong 'kwenta' ang mga nangyari sa kanyang kabataan maliban na lang siguro nang sinalo niya ang kanyang 'big friend' mula sa mataas na balkonahe dahil si 'big friend' ay nakulong (nalock) sa bahay at ang kanyang walang kwentang paggawa ng 1000+ games gamit ang bolpen en paper (wag na ung late siyang nagpatuli, masyadong private, kakahiya)!  Anyways, punta tayo sa kuwento kung saan nakilala ni Restituto si Maria, a very significant part of his life indeed, I don't doubt even.  Start of classes noon in a brand new school year nang sila lang dalawa ang nasa 'corridor' (dahil maaga silang dumating) at sila'y naghihintay mabuksan ang pinto ng classroom, nang biglang nasabi ni Restituto sa kanyang sarili, "Cute ha!!"  Oo tama si Maria ang kanyang tinutukoy, sino pa nga ba?  Mabait ang Diyos dahil hindi naglaon ay hindi lang sila mag-kaklase kundi magkatabi pa (kakopyahan kumbaga)!  Masuwerte talaga 'tong si Resti dahil hindi lang cute ang katabi niya magaling pa sa Biology at higit sa lahat nagpapakopya pa, o san ka pa?  Hindi nagtagal nagkagustuhan ang dalawa ngunit si Resti dahil sa kanyang dark 'history of being non-sociable' ang mas passive na kahit 'obvious' na 'obvious' na may gusto si Maria ay tila dedma lang siya!  Hindi lang siguro si Maria ang 'inis na inis' sa mala-Rizal monument na ikinikilos ni Resti kundi siguro pati ang masugid na manliligaw ni Maria na kulang na lang ay bilhin ang franchise ng Blue Magic sa sobrang sugid, si Resti na kasi 'tong hindi gumagalaw siya pa ang nakakaiskor!  Sa katunayan, nakatago pa hanggang sa ngayon sa 'envelope of memorabilias' ni Resti ang mga sulat na bigay ni Maria even those letters written even w/o special oKasyons!  Amagin man ang mga ito dala ng kalumaan ng panahon, kung mamatay man si Restituto baka ang mga sulat pa ni Maria ang gawin niyang "coat of arms" sa kanyang kabaong!  Ganyan ka-TRUE (by Ryan Cabrera) ang love ni Resti kay Maria hindi man niya ito gaanong naipamalas ng mga panahong 'yon.  Pinalipas lang ni Resti ang isang taong sila'y magkaklase na hindi man lang kumilos para manligaw (isang malaking katangahan)!  Siguro hindi pa siya handa emotionally at siguro hindi siya gaanong makapaniwala na ang isang 'cute' na si Maria ay magkakagusto sa isang Restituto na wala namang value ang face maliban sa ulo!  At higit sa lahat, he does not know how to express his love properly considering the fact that 1 part of his history, he had hardly expressed himself literally, hoping Maria will learn to understand.  Pero syempre like any other inspirational stories, siya'y nagsumikap building his confidence lalo na nang nanalo ang 'Patintero' team ng kanyang seksyon dahil sa kanya!  He has won friends and from that confidence goes along!  Nang naging "fully-charged" na ang kanyang confidence level naisipan niyang balikan si Maria at sa wakas ligawan na, ngunit tulad ng isang cellphone, fully-charged nga siya, wala rin namang "gamit" dahil wala nang nag-tetext.  Ganon na ganon ang dura ng buhay kay Restituto, after he had confessed his sincere intentions to her and disclosed his true love finally after a relatively long period, his gesture was simply unreciprocated by her (basted lang ibig sabihin nun, pa ingles 2x pa 'to, nahiya pa amp)!  And W T F??  Kaya un SAWI siya sa madaling sabi, so he has started projecting his bitter emotions to his Literature quizzes and his sentimental MP3 songs like Tamia's Officially Missing You and Dingdong Avanzado's Walang Kapalit!  He's so bitter, as bitter as his armpits...  He's so frustrated, but there's nobody to blame!!  As Resti feels so battered inside, he has yet to know Maria's side of story!!  Pero whatever her side is w/c is still a puzzle to him up to now, the clear thing is 'wag pilitin ipasok ang hindi kasya! (panget ata ng pagkasabi, di bale getz naman meaning e)...  Resti knows she feels so 'sorry' for him but what must he do to clear his sore ears??   To blow his nose?  Nope (ibig sabihin lang nun wala siyang magagawa dun, kung ayaw na talaga ni Maria, e d wag, the end is justifiable *naka lalim hehe*!!)  The only challenge he must do is to simply move on kaya kalokohan ang kanta ni Kitchie Nadal na 'Same Ground' with lyrics that goes something like this: Why am I the only one standing stranded on the same ground?  Stranded stranded 'sus may libre pong sakay ang MMDA tuwing may transport strike!! Hmmph!  Haay buhay, love moves in mysterious ways nga naman if you let the love begin.  Letting the beautiful chance slip away when 'the one' was still longing for love and coming back to 'the one' only to find out it was pretty too late IS KABOBOHAN!!  Kung sa stock market lang 'to, bakit hindi pa siya bumili ng Treasury Stock w/c is very obvious and anticipated that one could gain something in return if the one sell this stock in the future??  Still nobody's to blame even though Resti will know her side in the future o (kahit hindi na forever), kung malaking kasalanan man ang nagawa ni Maria dahil siya'y nanakit ng damdamin ng isang taong malinis ang intensyon at kahit papano'y nagustuhan niya, wag siya kay Resti humingi ng tawad dahil papatawarin talaga siya (sa bait niya, I doubt hindi ka patawarin), sa priest dapat ineng!!  Lastly, if somebody is really FOR somebody "understanding" will just bloom without wasting time of exchanging hearts (ibig sabihin lang nito, magiging masaya ka balang araw at hindi mo kailangang hanapin pa ang  true love )

 Author's Sentiment of 'd Moment:

 "Habang kausap ka, madaling magpanggap na masaya ako maging OK ka lang, salamat naman at na-kontrol ko na ang sarili ko at hindi na ako muli pang nagbigay ng pahayag ng pag-ibig ngunit nang humingi ka ng tawad p*ta bakit hindi ko ma-kontrol 'tong luha ko, p*ta totoo nga ba 'to? Bakit mo ako iiwan, tindera ng dinuguan?"

The Terminal & House of Flying Daggers


 

Akala ko tuluyan nang magiging malas ang aking "boring" na araw kasi naman po sa kalagitnaan ng Wrestlemania XXI, nasira ang cable (mga serbisyo e no?) pero salamat at nakapag-rent ako ng vcd: Steven Spielberg's The Terminal (what a saving grace)...  Starring dito si Tom Hanks at Catherine Zeta-Jones, mga award-winning hollywood stars kasama na si Direk siyempre.   Recommended ito sa mga mahihilig sa comedy na may SENSE!  Iba talaga si Spielberg because the ending is very unpredictable, sa una hindi ko nagustuhan ang ending pero when I tried to meditate why does that critically-acclaimed movie go that unconventional way, well after I had tried to recall the whole plot itself with its accompanying life-lessons to be learned, well may punto talaga si Spielberg ...  The story is all about the value of WAITING (obviously The Terminal ang pamagat ehehe, literal din itich) kahit yung mga maliliit na eksensa ay nagpapakita na: sa buhay ay kailangang maghintay.  Basta panoorin niyo na lang and for me it's one of the best, sa dami ba naman ng mga pelikulang napanood ko na halos lahat ay walang sense, siguro naman masasabi ko this time na ito talagang pelikulang ito ay siguradong may mapupulot ka na hehe (bato ka na kung wala kang mapulot, ikaw ang pupulutin sa kangkungan *biro* )  Here's the little synopsis of the movie: Si Tom Hanks (Viktor Navorski) dito was restricted in the airport by some authorities since his passport to the US became invalid kasi 2x wala siyang COUNTRY yet hehe (ay hindi rin makulet si Spielberg )!!  He was therefore never allowed to step even a toe in the US soil as well as to return in his still unrecognized country (revolution took place kc) that according to the field boss on that movie who had always had a fixed eye on him, he's a nation's risk and allowing him to go out and be free in NYC is a serious violation for this field boss who knows only nothing but rules!  Sa airport lang siya tuloy tumira for many months!  Finding ways to get daily meals, friends on that large mall-like airport and even to the extent of finding romance were his rollercoaster experience...  From this movie there's one big lesson that strikes me most: that patience is a virtue and even though it is very impossible for someone to achieve happiness no matter how little it is for others, if what you wanna get really is what you deserve no matter how harsh the world might be, destiny will always do its way to give you help for you to become a better person (unwittingly of course) or surprisingly life with all of its unseen forces will just wait for you (nag-essay pa si kumang ehehe )...  Si Hanks sa movie na ito is totally 'alien' sa English language and therefore he can't understand most people around him and the amazing part was: how was he able to get what he wanted in the end despite this big language barrier at the very first place??  Impossibility is indeed never a fact but an opinion...  So much for that but I'm gonna tell you that the answer is inspiring in a qustion so trivial...  Isa pang naponood ko ay Old School, hindi ko na ikwekwento pa kasi walang sense ehehe !  Only Elisha Cuthbert makes sense for me on that comic movie ...

Ganda talaga ni Zhang Ziyi dito!!!

::. House of Flying Daggers is another movie I watched!  Putakte ibang klase ang ending parang sa The Terminal din, namatay ba  naman  si Mei (Zhang Ziyi), e main character pa naman siya.  Pero OK lang ehehe aside from the traditonal reason of that's the way life goes, ganon talaga ang daloy ng story at kailangan siyang mamatay.  It's all about sacrificing for love even to sacrifice your own blood, secondly lang siguro ang mga malulupit na fighting scenes(martial arts), and thirdly naman ang political chaos way way back 859 AD (Tang Dynasty), in my own humble opinion ha ehehe?  Lupit ng plot, astig!  Maraming surprises, parang ganito, BULAGA!!! ehehe!  Basta panoorin niyo na lang kung hindi niyo pa napapanood!  Napansin ko rin na ung The Terminal at itong House of Flying Daggers have in common because destiny and fate really are not two different things (kumang synonymous nga sila ehh), sa The Terminal, Viktor gets what he has wanted because he had been already destined to get it  'cause in that story when you try to go deeply, he literally waits but he doesn't know that life itself waits for him to finally get it, get it wahehe ??  Thus, isn't it destiny when life already had known that you'll gonna get it before you get it, get it wahehe ??  Sa House of Flying Daggers naman, two lovers were JUST supposed to play a game kasi as far as rules were concerned they were from two opposing sides of political bodies and it really is detrimental for both parties they had pleged allegiance with if ever they fell for each other!  Eh ito namang dalawang gago nag-fell for each other nga FOR REAL ehehe at hindi na laro w/c is supposed to be in order for them to terminate each other's opposing political intentions!  Patay, no matter how real or strong their love for each other were, tsk tsk fate sadly brought one of them to death at si Mei nga ang tinamaan ng malas ehehe (as Mei says in the movie one must die if they meet each other)!!  Pero hindi rin siya malas e no??  Kasi even up to her death she really has realized how real Jin's love has been for her!  Basta ganon ang sweet, my butt was attacked by ants na nga e... 

::. nga pala


pumunta sana siya sa Pilipinas...
