Graduate! na sana...



I am truly SAD. I am JEALOUS. I am REGRETFUL. 
Until now I have not graduated from college yet. It's been since 2008 that I should've gotten my diploma. But where I am now?, still trying to finish a degree at a University. I am TIRED. I want to QUIT now. My mind says to stop while my heart suggests to continue. My batch mates, most of them are already degree holder and some are license holder of different professions. 

I have never imagined that I will not finish college during the time I should've finished it. I entered college June 2004. I was kind-of-forced to take Nursing. I can still remember enrolling for BS Commerce but my mother told me to change it otherwise I would have to return to our province. So I then shifted to Nursing. I enjoyed the first 2 years of college. I had very good grades. Come my third year where Duties are part of the curriculum already, I started to feel my dislike with the course. I don't like the hospital settings. I hate the fact that I take care of sick people. I hate blood. I hate needles. I feel like instead of prolonging a sick person's life I can instead shorten it. I don't have focus while I'm on my duty. I was decided. I wanted to escape from it. And I can't find any ways to do that apart from getting a JOB. Thus, I applied for a job at a call center. I was hired. My parents didn't know what i did. I am supposed to be an incoming fourth year then.

After 2 years of working. I decided to go back to school. This time I took Financial Management, I am just on my 2nd year. Still have to take a lot of subjects. 

I don't know where am I directed! I am really tired. I am a WORKING STUDENT. I told myself that I have to earn a degree as soon as possible but I can't give up my job as well. I have my own bills to pay. And of course, I pay my own tuition fees. I don't want to ask my parents to send me back to school, they've spent so much during my Nursing days. I am old enough to support my self.

I can manage my time, but it's really tough. It's physically and mentally exhausting. There were times that I just found myself crying due to tiredness. I know GOD has good plans for me. I am just hoping I am going to the right direction. 

Bon Bon: Kaya mo Yan!

    I've been there. I want to share you my experience about this. I was in my last term in 2006 when I got a job in a call center. The reality of having a job and entering school is tough so I decided to quit school but it was too late for me to withdraw the subjects. It was in the early part of 2009 when I learned that school was revising the subjects. I didn't have second thoughts of finishing my degree. Else, I would go back to square one.

Aurora Province not Aurora Quezon

Yes, you read it right. It is Aurora Province and not Aurora Quezon , at least not anymore. Our province is always a victim of this misconception. It is true though that we have been once part of the Quezon Province but for the longest time now Aurora has been granted a Province Status since August 13, 1979 by President Ferdinand E. Marcos  by virtue of Batas Bambansa Blg. 7. I can't blame the people if they still think that Aurora is still part of Quezon. Let's face it, our Province is not known very well. If not because of TYPHOONS we may not even have a mark on people's minds. But mind you, Aurora  can boast a lot of its good features. So Folks. Let me Introduce my Province. Yup, I am a Proud Auroran. Let me do this to help spread the information how beautiful my province is.  Aurora Province is located on the East-Central side of Luzon Island. It has a total land area of 323,954 hectares. Agriculture is the primary industry in Aurora, employing approximately half o

Schengen Visa for Filipinos

  I'd like to share with you my experience in applying for a Schengen Visa. I submitted my application last March 12 and got the decision last March 19 (5 working days). It was so tiring as I only had 2 weeks to gather/prepare all my documents, but it's all worth it. ️  Things you must remember:  • Secure an appointment at VFS Global website • On your appointment day, submit all the required documents.  • Please note that you are not directly submitting your documents at the Dutch Embassy. VFS is the application center handling all Netherlands Schengen Visa applications.  • VFS officer will thoroughly check your documents and will ask necessary questions when needed. In my case, no questions were asked.  • After documents submission, you will be asked to pay the Visa Fee + VFS Processing Fee (P5190). This is non-refundable in case of visa denial.  • Wait for your name to be called for Biometrics. VFS officer may ask some questions during this process. I was just asked when do I
