Another 100%

Thanks to the One up there who made all of this happen
Thanks to all of those who prayed for me and for the batch
Thanks to my everdearest family for their unending support
Thanks to our in-charges and seniors who still supported us, kahit na andaming trabahong na-tengga dahil sa naka-leave kami, sinuportahan at inintindi nyo pa rin kami. =)
Thanks sa aking batchmates na sobrang bait na nagpahiram at naghirap na ipa-photocopy ang kanilang mga materials. At hindi nagdamot na mag-share ng kanilang knowledge and tips: Belle, Gilda, Tin, Jan, France, Crystle, Mei, Aimee
Thanks to our senior associates who inspired and encouraged us to take this challenge... and they cheered us all the way to the finish line. =)

Txt ni Janrich! (na hindi pa rin nag-a-update):
>congrats sa mga bagong imbestigador ng bayan, mga bagong CIA!! Jan, Charlie, France, Crystle, Tin, Lyzet Elay, Mei, grace, Gilda, Loraine, Aimee, Jaemi. Go 100%!

Well, another bunch of letters is now added to my name: CIA. So anobayun? CIA stands for Certified Internal Auditor (and not Central Intelligence Agency). So anoparinyun? Napapagod na ako mag-explain eh. More about that here.

Yay! Pipyirs 100% CPA! 100% CIA! (Hindi naman kami masyado mayabang, proud lang XP)

At sa mga naghihingi ng libre, hindi po tumaas ang sweldo ko. Wala akong perang panlibre. Harharhar!

Weeks of my Bumness

That week that I passed the boards...

Monday: Floating in the clouds after I got the results (Go 100%)
TUesday: Slept until 2pm. Went to mass with my family at 6pm.
Wednesday: Company X Orientation
Thursday:bummed around the house
Friday: morning - interview at Company Y, afternoon - signed contract with Company X

That contract-signing was unplanned.

That next week after passing the boards:
Monday: Had my medical exam (na feeling ko barbs na med exam)
Tuesday: Got my TIN.
Wednesday: All Saint's Day. Went home to both provinces. Road trip all day.
Thursday: Secured my bank account.
Friday: Bummed around the house.
Weekend: Shopping. Shopping. Shopping.


Today: November 8, 2006
Shopped again. Today, SM had a 10% discount promo to all SMAC holders. More additions to my corporate wardrobe.
Had my first ever facial/body-scrub/massage spa experience at BioEssence Megamall. They had this 50%off "promo". Well, let's just say... I expected more for my money. Maybe I'll try a real real spa next time. I just thought a spa experience would be my gift to myself after everything, and before everything.

I'll be busy the rest of this week. I have four more days of bumming around to do. Then I'll have eyebags again. Hahahaha!


All those books....

We did it! Yay!

Yeah. I know this is an entry long overdue. I was too busy celebrating and being happy... and then I got busy with completing the work requirements. Yeah. WORK. Now that's another entry.

Wala ako sa picture kasi ako yung kumuha.

Vodka Vibes

Vodka Ice. Ang masarap kasama matapos ang Final Pre-board.

(As if naman nakakalasing sya talaga no.)

Now that counter is reallly counting down the days.

Mukhang magka-camping na ako sa lib.

Sabi ko kahapon hindi ako kinakabahan. Natauhan na ako. Kinakabahan pala ako.

Well this will be over in a few weeks. Or my life will be over. Blech. >_<>

Birthday Beats

Salamat sa lahat ng bumati sa aking nakarrang 16th birthday! Hahahahahaha!

Kung totoo lang ito, then it would have been the perfect birthday gift for me:

D'AUDITOR's of PHIL.CHARITY FOUNDATION nfrom u dat ur Celfon no. Won Php950,000.00 2nd prize Winner draw last: Aug.01,2006 Pls Call Me Now I'm Mrs. Hany Olarte +639152138030

I googled up "D'AUDITOR's of PHIL.CHARITY FOUNDATION" and found out that this is a txt scam that's been going on since February. So I txtd the number with "PI! PI! Mahuli ka sana!" blah blahs. So kung ikaw ay walang magawa at ikaw ay naka-Globe Unlimited, itxt mo yung number ng mga mura, or magpanggap ka na pulis at huhulihin mo na sya. Nagri-ring pa yung number.

The results of my past pre-board sucks. Oh well, bawi next time.

Currently enjoying one of my presents: Dong Abay's album: FLIPINO. Bumili kayo. Suleeeeet!!!! Hay, nakakamiss ang mga performances ng Pan. At syempre, lalong hindi na ako makakanood ng mga performances ni Dong Abay dahli wala na ako sa UP naming mahal. =(

Malapit na October 14... ~.~

Prelude to Pre-Week

Pre-week's comin' up.
(Evil twin conscience:Pre-week? Ano yun?)

Pre-week=First Simulated CPA Board Exams

I hope I can stick with my study schedule. Yes. I made a schedule. A schedule to be followed.

555555555555555555555555555555555555555555

Look what I dug up from my accounting junk...I mean, stuff:



This is the first BA 114 (Intermediate Accounting) Quiz. It's a crossword puzzle. Score: 10/11. Sana sa Board Exams ganun din no? XD

Babai and Backlog Blues

I can't believe that one month has already passed since Sab came back to visit the Philippines. She's back in the US right now. Mamimiss ka namin Sab. Hanggang sa muling pagkikita. Penge nga palang kopya ng mga pics. Wala tuloy akong maipost na pic dito. Hehehe.

Byebye Sab. Welcome back Zy!

5555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555
And I can't believe it's been more than a month since review school started. Ayayayayay. One month before the first pre-boards.

My backlogs....

Whenever I see this pile of junk - I mean, review materials - I feel guilty about my backlogs. But instead, I choose to exercise my selective-vision power.
