*browsing my saved documents in
my desktop and I saw this --why not post it? Wrote this one when I was actively
looking for my first job as a college graduate
I’ve been
thinking for a while what could be my next blog? Then as I was browsing through
my blog posts I’ve observed that I haven’t posted a blog which has something to
do with my personal experiences. That is
why I have decided to post something that I thought will somehow serve as
catalyst of change or inspiration to my readers (charot haha ) So here it is!
April 7, 2017 - the exact date when I graduated at my alma mater.
Though I was eager to march to the stage to receive my diploma that day (guess what I thought it was just a fake bond
paper diploma but it was actually a real diploma that we did receive HAHAHA)
it never came to mind how my routine would change after this life changing
event. It never came to mind where I would land my first job as a college graduate.
I was really planning more on my me time things (to do more art related stuff to read more books and other stuffs) because
I’m that type of person, a happy go lucky one. But as I experienced what most
people call “real life” or what life is it outside school, I’ve come to realize
a lot of things. I learned a lot of things that I haven’t learned inside the
four corners of our school rooms. School didn’t teach me how unfair the real
world is. In real world it is not about what you know but it is who you know,
sad truth. School didn’t teach me that people change with time and it is
inevitable. And sometimes I just sigh with all these thoughts. And sometimes I
am just thinking that maybe I am still adjusting how real world revolves and I
can somehow cope up soon. The good thing is that I am experiencing a lot of
things that makes me a better person each day. Walking alone, eating alone, and
traveling alone makes me understand more about myself and it also makes me feel more
alive, *ganern? haha (like walking with different people rushing
at the busy streets, checking their wristwatches…) also I got a lot more
chance to meet beautiful at the same time flawed souls which inspires me not
give up with every challenges of life. To continue to reach for those weird and
twisted dreams of mine that even though it seems impossible to achieve, it is
possible when you add will and determination to make it happen.
The only thing I can say to you guys who are still schooling, always do
your best, especially in your academics. Exert effort with your English performance,
memorize those nerve racking formulas, learn to write and speak your foreign
language, and excel in your physical education subject. Because it feels so
fulfilling to learn new things and to actually receive an award for your
efforts and also a bonus perfect gift to your parents for all their sacrifices.
And you would not have any regrets later on, like I should have given my best
during our character performance. (Though
I admit I didn’t really exerted much effort during my schooling.*don't u dare) I just
realized those things at this moment of my life because I know and I believe
that I can actually give my best with every activity that we did in school,
I just stayed on my comfort zone most of the time. And so do you, just believe
that you can and act on it and you will definitely excel with that subject. Do
the things that you are passionate with, learn to embrace your weaknesses and
to love what you hate, feed your curiosity. I actually admit that I didn’t aim
that much to top my exams but I am the type of student who review night before
exam and luckily I always pass and sometimes I also top or least at the top
five (bragging? Not really, it’s just my
luck *winks!) I still remember reviewing
night before our Prelim exam and I was still at the first phase of our topic
and I’ve already fallen asleep and I blamed my Mama when I woke up early in the
morning. Because those were like major subjects (cries blood hahaha!) Yet I still managed to pass. (swerti) But seriously I really miss going to school, me riding the bus (standing
bes HAHA), tapping my ID at the gate, running late at the corridors then at
times I luckily come across with my crush (perfect
ko na yung exam neto HAHAHA asa), endless chatting with your closest
friends, that grumpy cashier at the accounting office, and most especially
borrowing books at the library. Yes I know, I’ve got really random and weird
list of what I miss about schooling. So you guys, who are still schooling, make
best memories and ace that next exam! Because when you thought school life is
tough, well, real life is tougher. (Silently
wishes I’m still schooling *hihi so not ready to be a grown up)
P.S. Blessed
because I already got a job before the year 2017 ended. So thankful to God for
that blessing, getting that job taught me a lot more experiences that someday I
can again share it in here.

P.P.S. I hope this one made sense. Hahaha
