I miss blogging. It's been almost three months. hmmmm... so what's up?

My last update was July 10, and so i will do my best to refresh my memory on what had happened for the past few months/days/weeks.

I can't remember anything significant last July. tsk!

Now! for August! My birth month. hmmm... First big celebration was my nanay (lola - that's how I call my mother's mother) and dad's birthday... wait! before that day came, pol got hospitalized because of the pesticides for our coconuts. ahaha! and because of that, my mom have to spend more bucks for the hospitalization. hhhmm..  anyways, the birthday celebration still happened and it was big. 2 lechon and many food. of course there were also a number of guests who came, some we knew, some were familiar, some we didn't know at all. But that's okay! uuhhh.. what else...

ahh!!! I remember something for July. It was this month when I applied for PNB. and! ow! it was this month that Nhaia's dad came home. And I think it was also this month when I started shadow teaching Khai - my niece. 

back to August!... My birthday! My birthday happens to be the same day with our Midterms in ManAcc.. and so days before that day, I was studying hard. On my birthday, Nhaia gave me a pair of headphones! which I've been wanting to buy. We had lunch at KFC then went straight to MYOH. after an hour (more or less) we got our personalized slippers (with just very few choices). Dropped Nhaia at her office, went home, took a bath, then off to school to a place they call the "library". Review and because of that, I was the first to finish the exam - and I dint top it, but I passed ;). Went home with my close friends and ate then shots! I drank tequila and t5. ahaha! so much for that, that was my best birthday celebration ever. Though there were only few guests, but i had the best day ever. My family was there, my barkada, my girlfriend, close relatives. Basta! that was the best birthday ever! i ended my birthday at around 5 in the morning. ehehe. 

Exectly a week after my birthday, PNB called saying I got hired. ahaha! a week after that, I got my tooth extracted. ahahah!

My first day of work was on 3 September 2012, Monday... and the following Monday... was the pay day! I got excited but the moment I saw my payslip, I got disgusted! tsk! Dako kaau ang withholding taaaaxxx!!!! almost a thousand, plus other deductions... for the whole month, a total of almost 1.5K. tsk! that's too much! but anyways... ge lng.. bsta naai trabaho!!! and though I am entitle with overtime pay, the process is very tedious that you don't want to file for an overtime. tsk! so no overtime pay for me. That means I have to get out of work by 5. BUT! my boss is very workaholic and 5:30/6:00 is still early for her. Since I am still in probationary period, I can't do nor say anything. Good thing I am schooling.. I have a reason to be out early... :)

My first pay, i treated my family... of Course with Nhaia (with her brother, gian) at Cabula! Whole day swimming. 

I also enrolled again at Powerplay... back to gyming! more determined to get trimmed! Nhaia also enrolled with her officemates.. and continue to invite more of her friends to enroll. ehehe! 

hhhmm. last Saturday was my first day at the gym. then after the gym, watched The Mistress with my barkada. then to our farewell party in ManAcc.... then went up at Nhaia's place because her parents weren't there... and so we played......... Beer pong! ahahha! after playing, went home and splak!

It's almost sembreak... no finals for Environmental Law and Dynamics of Management. yeah!!!! \m/
And we had a great reporting in out Dynamics class!!!! then went to Dear Manok for a class dinner - the group paid 50% of the bill. 

By the way, Nhaia and I just celebrated our 9th Monthsary! I hope we'll be doing great along the way...

Well, I guess that would be all... I hope I could update this blog more often... been busy! 

Still adjusting to work, study, social life and family life... ehehehe.

It was more than three months since I last updated my blog. Hmmmm. Gotta do some catching up.

Well after that scheduled exam I was suppose to have for MBA, we were scheduled for an interview and that was also the day we would know our results. I passed all subjects except for Applied Math! Crap! Because of that I will be taking prerequisite subject. Tsk! Anyhow, I was still able to persuade Mr. Gevero to let me enroll despite my 5-month experience.

Now, I am already taking 3 subjects for MBA: Environmental Law, Dynamics of Management and Management Accounting.

For environmental law, it is challenging because our professor is also a law teacher in XU Law School, and according to her, our subject’s course outline is similar to her law classes. She’s also a Judge. She’s okay in class, but not a reason for me to be complacent. I’m really learning a lot from this subject, not only bout laws but also about what is happening in the real world and some other facts which are not found in books.

Done with the reporting and it was hell! I will not go into details anymore. Just today, after our class, our group decided to report on the next topic. So this means busy week again.

For dynamics of management, it kinda ok. Just need to pass case analysis every Monday 8pm. And for today, I almost didn’t make it. I totally forgot! Good thing I have a friend who’s very kind to lend me her iPad, so I was able to submit still on time. HAHA! Subject is not alien to me because it is some sort of the basic of management. So mejo relate ra! Though there are some things which are new to me.

Management accounting is the major pain in the ass for this sem. Well it is kinda similar with financial management, but its approach is more on the accounting side. So most of my classmates (well except for the CPAs, of course) are bleeding! HAHAHA! Every Thursday, we need to pass our answers in chapter’s problems and cases.

MBA is fun! Right now, I could say that though we meet only once a week per subject and three subjects per week, still it’s heavy!

Oh! One more thing, I was invited to run for office for the MBA council and (ahahaha!) I won. My position is Program Director (but I think there is a longer title, that’s just the short title).

This coming Saturday, July 14, we will be having an acquaintance party/orientation/general assembly/turnover. It’ll be at Grand Caprice. Theme: Prom!

---------------------------------------------------

Love life? Hhhmmm. Love life’s doing great so far. 6 months and counting. Tsk! Can’t upload any recent photo because my phone is still being repaired and most of our recent photos are there.

Recently we did wall climbing with her awesome office mates. And just last week we had a full body massage together.

We’re doing great! Well there are petty fights which cannot be avoided, but nevertheless, we still manage to fix things immediately.

Also, she’s working now and I’m not! Now I really need to have a job! Currently applying on some companies.

---------------------------------------------------

A lot of family gathering happened. It was because of my uncle and his family from New Jersey visited CdeO. Meet the familia GALLARES!!!!

---------------------------------------------------

It was three months since I last blogged, and all I could say… that three months were all worth it. Many things did happen. Many things learned too! And I was caught drinking…

Basta ky giniwang na daw ko! Ahahaha! You judge.

MBA Entrance Exam - P A S S E D

Yesterday, April 2, 2012, I went to school to get my results for the MBA Exam I took last March 17, 2012. 


As I was still heading the testing office (even days before that day), I was already doubting whether I passed or not. Why? (1) I wasn't able to answer everything - I guess I left almost 20 unanswered items. (2) I wasn't sure of my answers specially on the Quantitative (Math) part because some of the items doesn't follow the MDAS rule. (3) I got timed out when answering the last Inductive Reasoning (Logic) part. (4) It was very long, kinda difficult, and very limited time in a very cold room. 


I presented a piece of paper to get the result, she searched for my result, looked at it, then asked me... "para asa gani ni sir?" I answered for MBA. She then told me to proceed to the MBA office while handing me the result. 

And so I got what I need. I went to the MBA office for further instructions. 


Got a schedule for another exam on the 10th of April. Wish me luck!
