BREAKING THE RULES!!!

Warning: Please don't do this at home... or anywhere. :D

I have always been a law-abider since childhood. But two weeks ago, I tried to break free and break a rule. Just for the sake of temporary happiness and making a "slight, temporary, and I-will-try-not-to-do-this-again" difference in my very obedient life. Here's the BIG evidence:

What's your best law-breaking experience? Share it with me by leaving a comment on this post. I might share some of the best law-breaking experience of yours in my next post.

Defeat.

I am deeply saddened by my First Pre-board examination results. My grades in the four (4) subjects I took on the first day of the examination were awesome - all were in the line of 9. But the results of the other four (4) subjects I took on the second and last day of the exam were the opposite of the first four (4). They were in the lines of 6 and 7. After the checking of papers this morning, I got really really disappointed. It seems like my world is going to tear down into pieces again. Again! I am so extreme - basing on my results of a mixture of very high and very low ratings. What's wrong with me? What went wrong? That I don't know - the reason I still have to search. Analyze. Realize. And learn lessons from them. Argghhhh... I hate it. Really hate it. I think if I were to define the word depression, it would be VJ Ruado.

But, that's life I guess. I have to rise everytime I fall. Again. And again. Who can help me recover? I think I am the only person who can help myself rise. Recover. And try again. To be better than yesterday.

Defeat! I have to put my first pre-board defeat behind me and come back stronger than ever. That's what makes a TRUE CHAMPION, I guess, bouncing back from a painful defeat and proving that you have a heart for it.

Past. Present. Future.

Ano ang nangyari since my last post? Ano na ang nangyayari sa akin ngayon? Ano ang mangayayari sa buhay ni VJ Ruado? Ang mga sagot, heto na.

Past.

Successful Celestial Echoes Concerts. Super "THANK YOU LORD" talaga for the two successful CE Concerts - the 25th Anniversary Concert in Philamlife Auditorium and the 25th Anniversary Concert (The Repeat) in AUP Finster Chapel. Everybody thought it would be impossible to have these concerts but the group survived! Yey! Again, I did the solo parts of the immortal Bukunat and the Sumabit sa Christmas Tree novelty songs. I'm really happy I was still able to make the audience laugh kahit na alam ni Direk at alam ko na I'm too old for these songs at di ko ever maimagine na ako pala ang pinagtatawanan ng mga taong nanonood. :D

Dengue Hemorraghic Fever and Mitral Regurgitation. I got confined in the Manila Adventist Medical Center (MAMC) twice. The first confinement diagnoses were, according to my Medical Certificate, 1. Allergin Rhinitis With Post Nasal Drip (the term is eww); 2. Hyperreactive Airways (Asthma daw to); and 3.) Systemic Viral Infection. The second confinement diagnoses were 1. Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever Stage 1; and 2. Mitral Regurgitation, Cardiac Arrythmia, Sinus Tachycardia (Nosebleed? Man, it's a heart problem).I have always suspected that I already had Dengue since the first confinement pero naagapan nga lang yun. The experience was... deadly. :D I got a personal record-breaking 21 platelets according to the count and had been transfused with six (6) bags of platelet concentrate. Whew. Many friends and relatives of mine attested that I had a blue-violet skin texture na. Well, let's charge it to experience nalang. Ang importante, "Lord Buhay Ako!"

AUP Accountancy's Suicidal Comprehensive 3 Examination. I passed, whoooo. Praise God again. I miraculously passed. Now I can say, "Hay... natapos na rin ako sa mga Compre na yan."

Feasibility Study Defense. Heto pa, at last I have defended my FS na. And miraculously ... again, I got an excellent grade of 96% Another deduction of pain in the _____...hmm... what are you thinking... let me say it... HEAD!!!

Present.

AUP Accountancy's 21-unit Refresher Course. I'm currently enrolled in AUP but our classrooms are now based in Manila, specifically in the Review School of Accountancy (ReSA). Enrolled in two schools in one sem, cool isn't it? May God bless us on our First Preboard Examination of the semester on the last weekend of July.

Future.

The 10th Inter-Collegiate Finance Competition (ICFC). Jolly, Che and I are currently reviewing for the said competition on September, 2009. It's very hard to synchronize it with our Board Exam Review but we're crossing our fingers and we will do our best to be one of the Top 20 schools in the National Level. Abangan. Please Pray for Us.

Bakasyon Engrande. At last, I'm going home na. Got a very cheap Cebu Pacific ticket for Davao on October 15. I'm so excited because the last time I went home in Mindanao was 2 years ago. Yey!

2nd Sem Review. I don't know if I'd still enroll myself in the review school or mag-self study na lang but one thing is for sure, MAG-REREVIEW ako for the 2009 CPA Board Exam. :D

MArch 2009 Graduation. Heto na. Heto na. Heto na. Gragraduate na ako. Yey.

May 2009 CPA Board Examination. This is the most awaited part, judgment time. Abangan ang results. Let's hope for the best. Sana...sana pumasa.
