As soon as I arrived at the venue (after our graduation ceremony), I rushed to have a quick wardrobe change. For my thanksgiving look, my outfit was curated by a famous local stylist Style of Quaintrelle.

MBA | Graduation EXTRAvaganza II

MBA | Graduation EXTRAvaganza
I am seriously imagining myself again marching down the aisle, smiling at the people cheering for me while I confidently flaunt my academic master's regalia, and going up the stage to receive my diploma.
As I look back I couldn't help but feel emotional with everything I've been through. These photos sent to me by my official photographer reminds me not just of my graduation day but also the memories that brought me to this momentous occasion. Today, I feel like sharing my journey. I hope you'll be inspired and encourage to follow your dreams. Here it is yow!
During college I already planned out what I shall do after graduating. I will find a job in the corporate world, work for 3 years or more, then enroll myself to a graduate program. Few days after college graduation I started working with one of the biggest fast-food chain in the Philippines, after a year I shifted to a different industry intending to gain a new experience. After 3 years, I decided to quit my job and enroll myself in MBA. Oh diba? I was on the right track lol
As I entered into a new world, I prepared myself with the right amount of self-confidence and determination to finish my MBA journey within a 2-year timeline. I want to challenge myself to become a better person thru enhancing my knowledge so that I may contribute to the society, to develop a more responsible character towards serving others, and to believe in myself again that I can achieve my personal dreams on my own.
Well, just like any other journey that we have in life I anticipated problems and disappointments. The climb wasn't easy at all, I had to face new battles and challenges that I least expected to arise. I have encountered various situations where I didn't know what to do. I made wrong decisions along the way and even failed to follow the trail I set for myself. To be honest, I was at a point where I questioned my own capacity and level of excellence. Definitely a not-so me kinda thing on a personal level.
All of it. All of the unexpected hurdles was the turning of my whole journey. In times of doubt, I challenge myself to build a strong foundation of faith. In times when I felt lost, I cling to the sovereign one to guide me as I walk thru the right direction. In times when I felt I'm not in control, I just declare that God is sovereign over what I'm going through. In times when I almost gave up, I would talk to myself in the mirror and remind myself the reason of why I started.
Despite all the struggles, I am grateful. The process was quite tough but I guess it's up to us whether we choose to be positive or the other way around. I choose not to be distracted from all my disappointments, every day I decide not to compare my talents and skills with others, and I focused on reaching dreams.
This wouldn't be such a hit without my loving family and supportive friends. They are the ones who listen whenever I felt overly dramatic and stressed with all my requirements and excessive workloads. My family is my inspiration for reaching this ambition. Before my dad passed away, I promised him that I will continue to make him proud even if he's already in heaven. And to give back to all of them with everything that I can for the sacrifices they have made just for me to where I am now. My friends, the ever-supportive ones who are my source of positivism, happy pill, and bundle of sunshine in my darkest moments. They never fail to lend a hand whenever I need help.
By Gods Grace, I had a few accomplishments that I will always be grateful for. I made it in the Deans list having high average score since the first year, I was elected as the President of our student council, I was chosen as a candidate for best in thesis, and I was also hired as a part-time faculty in our university. One of the things that I'm really proud of is providing for my own tuition fee and school expenses, I decided to financially support myself without asking for money from my parents. Indeed, it's very fulfilling to reap all your hard work and sacrifices.

Thanks, 2014!
Year 2014 is over and I can't help but smile
looking back from the experiences I had. 2014 was a year full of fun,
surprises, successes, and dream come true’s for me and my family. And of course,
I wouldn’t hesitate to share it with you! Here are my top 3 picks:
March of 2014 marked a historic part of my
life. The day that I was waiting forever since I started school, my college
graduation. A day of celebration, thanksgiving, and remembering a hard-earned
struggle for victory! Click here.
I always make it to a point to go to places that
I've never been before, somewhat an adventure and in the year 2014 I was able
to travel to a place that I wanted to explore. Click here.
And lastly, I got to try things that I never wished to do like riding on a zip line, wall climbing, driving, and a lot more! Good thing I am still alive after all the death-defying adventures I tried Hahaha
To my dearest family and
friends, may the New Year give you the strength to face the challenges of life
and courage to adjust the sail so as to take every situation to your stride.
Yes, to a HAPPY NEW LIFE!
May it bring gifts of joys, good health, happiness,
and prosperity for you and your family. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
