Someone graduated @ PICC today ;)))

Happy endings and new beginnings.

Transition between being a college student and being a UST alumna.

First day of review classes.

Graduation.

Changing priorities.

Suddenly, May 2011 becomes so special.

Birthday, 2010.

The first time ever that my birthday fell on a school day. First and last, actually.

And my good friends surprised me with a cake ———

Uh, thanks, anyway. Hahaha. :|

And this is how I am celebrating my birthday today.

Of course I’m kidding! Sort of.

My mom graduated with a BS Nursing degree, and I’m not so sure if she took the board exams. But what I am sure of is that, never in her life did she practice as a nurse; her job was very far from that profession.

My dad was a Commerce graduate, but he was a musician and an artist half of his life.

They were never forced to take up a course they didn’t like; I am pretty sure that at some point in the beginning, they took such according to their own will.

I wonder if in the future I would do the same. Or be the same.

At the moment I am in no doubt that I want to graduate on time, take and pass the CPA board exams on October 2011, and eventually be a CPA. But after that… I really don’t know. It’s not that I don’t have any plans for the future; believe me, I have many. What I mean is THE future. I can’t even imagine myself still being (happy as) an accountant or auditor in the next 15 years.

Of course this may change. Perhaps I may be writing a blog fifteen years from now that I am indeed, happy, as an accountant or auditor or *insert accounting-related position here* of a particular organization. Or if it is true in my case that history repeats itself, I may be having a non-accounting-related career. Bottom line is that whatever it is, I should be able to tell myself these things:

  1. That I am happy and satisfied, and
  2. That I had and have no regrets. Ever.

And so, at present, I am doing my best. For serious. To, at least, make number 2 oh-so-true.

   —-So that I may not be like my mom who had regret/s, and so that I may be like my dad who had none.

Ciao!

Baccalaureate Mass for the Quadricentennial Batch.

UST fireworks at its very best.

Congrats, QuadriBatch! AMV students will graduate. On time, on May 2011.
