the year that was

The pictures were taken during the SGV Fun Day at the ULTRA. I participated in the 3K run and we won! Of course! I ran, jogged and walked till my heart was about to busrt and till I was near crying! It was fun! ahihihi.

I'm going home to Cotabato tomorrow. My flight's at 5am for Davao City. And I am just so excited!!!

Today's my last day at the office--for the year 2006.

In brief, the year 2006 had been a wonderful year for me. I have learned so much and become a better and stronger person!

Welcome year 2007!

I am going to take a hiatus from blogging for the meantime and will concentrate all my energy at home. I've got lots of exiciting stuff to do!!! I missed my room. I can't wait to see all my girlie stuff and all my collections again.

Well, until next year!

Merry Christmas to all of us and a prosperous new year!

the SGV challenge a.k.a AUDITOR's Life

Challenge cries out to you with its curious voice,
tempting and taunting you until you find you can resist it no longer.
Then you blindly go, determined to Achieve the impossible,
and Conquer Challenge's daring cries.

Camille Peltier-Robson

Life with the firm is all fun! For sure! Contrary to what most people believe its actually a lot of fun!

SECRET to a happy outlook? SIMPLE!!! LOVE WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!! AND LET US ALL BE HAPPY!!! =)

BUrnik Christmas Party 2006 – A Reunion

It’s a priceless thing in life to belong in a special kind of group. A group bounded together by friendship, compelled collectively by challenges, hardships and triumphs of the Accountancy course and the very memorable CPA Board Exams.

Being part of the Burnik Society, SU Accountancy Class 2004 will always be one of my greatest joys in life.

After a long time, finally the Burnik had once again had a get together party. This time to celebrate Christmas and E’s birthday party. Everybody had a blast. The food was great! Seafoods at the Macapagal Seaside were the best! Music One, the karaoke place, was a delight and very elegant.

And of course the people! We were all sinfully gorgeous =) Two years after the CPA Board and everyone had already achieved and accomplished so much. I am very proud of what we have become guys!

Cheers to all of us!

Where ever life may bring us in the future, I am confident that the Silliman spirit will always bring us together. God luck and God speed to all of us =)

vacation leave

FIFTEEN (15) days?! Whahahaha! Yes, believe it! 15 glorious days of vacation leave!

My bosses, after all their litany, threats and comments, were not able to stop me from taking a Christmas Holiday Leave. Of course they can’t stop me, it’s my basic right. Whew! I am so excited and full of anticipation. I am so full of plans on how to spend my vacation =)

opportunities

Opportunities available to our lifetime are so numerous its infinite! Some have come to pass or snobbed and few are grabbed and taken advantage of. Whatever may have happen to those opportunities, it always bring mixed emotions-happiness, excitement, tension and anticipation. Indeed, its very emotionally draining.

I was not surprised but I was disappointed and a little sad when it was confirmed I am not going to C. I have hoped and of course was extremely excited when I was earlier considered to be sent to that other world. I may be sad, but its okay, God always has reasons why things don’t happen the way you want it to.

It should have been an opportunity of a lifetime but its not for me. And as always, I am grateful to the Almighty for at least the Bosses even considered me to handle that resposibility =)

the old happy times

Summer 2006: The Burnik Society at All Hands Beach Resort, Subic.

beyond offense

To be happy is a choice. To be sad is also a choice. To be in a bad mood is definitely a choice. To be offended is beyond my comprehension.

Call me sensitive and touchy but I was really offended by his email! I thought I knew him but I was dead wrong. I do not know what is happening to him but he’s changed. He’s no longer the old thoughtful and enthusiastic college classmate I used to know. I’m so sad for him, really sad.

As for me, maybe I am just over reacting because I did not see the sarcasm coming... especially not from him. But maybe I am not. And it was really his intention to make a point.

I’m having second thoughts on whether to or not to join the Burnik Christmas party. Whatever the decision would be…MERRY CHRISTMAS to all the Burniks! I’m missing all of you guys!

The morning is beautiful and I refuse to be affected by his offensive email! =)

weight gain

I've gained a lot of weight lately and I'm trying my best to loose as much as I can before the holidays.

I was born to a family who loves to eat and food has and will always be my passion. That is why controlling all my urges to eat is really hard but I have to--for my own sake. It’s so frustrating. I call it deprivation. But of course I am just being melodramatic. Be realistic!

Being assigned to a lot of out-of-town engagements made it more difficult for me to control the urges to indulge. Food, merienda, everything is just so unlimited its making me cry. Please have mercy on my self-esteem, I have to be “sexy” =)

At the end of the day and despite all of my worries of becoming gigantic, it’s my happiness, fulfillment and self-satisfaction that would always matter. I would always eat because it gives me pleasure but of course...moderation is always the best policy =)

Happy Eating to all of us!

place of exile

To all the friends who have been wondering where this sacred place of my regular exile is, here it is -- Mariveles, Bataan. It’s a coastal town, a valley and most famous for the origin (Km 00) of the Death March.
