Fast Forward to 2012: New Life in Cebu

It's been years since the last time I posted in this blog. Reading through the old entries brings back bittersweet memories. I was a student, struggling to survive college. Fast forward to my penultimate year in the university, I again struggled to pass Audit. Imagine, in my last year in college, I had doubts if I could make it through. I cried a lot. I was really disappointed with myself that time. I thought my dreams would be gone but I was blessed enough to have given, again, another chance to get through with it. I passed in the removal examination. Unfortunately to some of my classmate, they failed. But the thing was, there was something wrong with the curriculum. We sort of protested with the results of the tests and the effectiveness of the curriculum but to make things short, the faculty reversed its decision to drop the students who failed to pass the examination. We all made it. We marched together to get that hard-earned diploma.  Moving forward to May 2012, I wanted

Another Chance.

I passed our removal exam in tax. I never thought that God would give me another chance to prove myself. I may not have done good last semester, still God is so compassionate to give such a chance. I love life.

Sometimes God Answers "No"

This may be the saddest part of my whole college life. I just received our grade in tax. I tell you, it's very depressing. I failed, I have not met the passing grade. I prayed a lot and hoped that I would meet the quota. But, I guess God answers "no" to our prayers sometimes. You might think that God doesn't care for me. But I deserve it. I deserve 5.0 and accepting it is harder than I have ever thought. May be it's a lesson that God wants me to learn. I've been too messy with my studies this semester and I have been reckless. And my semester's resolution? I've always told this to myself and I guess, anyone, who has failed, would say this to themselves (I have said this in one of my blogs)... "I'll do better next time..." And I swear this 'next time' will really be better. I have learned my lessons and I have pondered on it. *teary-eyed and sniff*
