A few days back while I was sitting on a toilet bowl, trying to take a dump, and getting ready for another consuming day in the review school, I began generating another tiny question to self, "Why have I been doing this?"  Ok, to make things clear between you and me, I'm not referring to taking a dump.  So we're clear on that, aren't we hehe?  I was actually touching on getting ready for another day in the review school.  Ok, let me postpone my review for a while and blog a little so that I can slow things up as the pressure is gradually creeping up on me.  So *coughs* really, why have I been getting up so early in the morning, positioning myself amid other commuters just to get a seat on a bus, and ultimately attending the review since the early days of June?  So I was trying to goof off with my parents as I ordinarily do one day by revealing before them practically the synopsis of why I decided, at once, to take the CPA Board Exams.  I said to them with feelings (remember I was goofing off hehe), "I'm doing this not necessarily for me but for you."  And then I added, "It's very likely that I will not enjoy the job which an accountant usually (or routinely hehe) does so I'll just take the board and if ever I pass with God's grace which has marvelously worked on me, then my ego would be inflated enough to become a SINGER!  Haha.  And then my parents reacted violently (as if I were serious haha).  I mean, WHAT?!  A singer?  I really like to goof off sometimes hehe.  Perhaps every so often, my jokes, no matter how they appear to be blatant or obvious, are half-meant.  Ok, I wasn't trying to say that I want to become a singer for the rest of my life.  That joke is absolutely NOT meant hehe.  I mean, come on, have you heard me sing?  Please don't expect much hehe.  Again, I hope we're clear on that, aren't we hehe?  All I'm saying is that my joke was half-meant on that part when I said to my parents that I'm about to take the board largely for them and not necessarily for me.  'Cause if I were an extremely selfish kind of guy (which by the way, I'm not haha), I really would have NOT decided to take the board, at least this time around, for kicks and for financial reasons.  I would have worked immediately, practically ANY work which would require my skills, to help the family.  Yet they insisted that I should take the board now no matter what.  And I just shrugged, "Alright."  I'm not really a hard-head.  My decision was, in fact, lightning instant.  Contrary to popular belief, I've never been a reasonable person.  I'm easily hauled by my emotions.  If my parents say GO, then I would do just that for their sake.  Remember the time when I passed the qualifying exams for the Accountancy major?  So incidentally, yes, I'm easily hauled by my emotions.  The reason WHY I MADE SOME HASTY DECISIONS AT SOME POINTS IN MY LIFE WHICH HAVE HAD A MATERIAL EFFECT ON ME BUT I'D NEVER EVER REGRET DOING.  So that's it for now.  Wish me luck.
