NOW IS THE RIGHT TIME.
You know that thing you have been putting off? Now is the right time to do it. Remember... if you act like now is all the time you have, you will always have all the time in the world.

It's been two months since I decided to take the May 2015 CPA Board Exam instead of taking the October 2014 batch. It's really hard decision to make. I have to consider the timing and practicality of life. Should I take the October 2014 CPA Board Exam which is too risky for me to take since I only have 2 months to prepare... plus considering my current situation the struggles & hardships of life (see my last blog post, click here). I'm asking myself: "Kaya ko kaya magtake ng October?" Another thing to consider is the new members of BOA. The system have changed and I need to be careful in taking risk and making decisions.
Job offers are coming left and right... Oh no!!! Should I entertain those offers?
Then every one at home is pushing me to work... I know they're just being practical. But there's a BIG B-U-T.
Ugh. That's one of my struggles that time. It's really hard to explain to my family the feeling of having and fighting for my dreams over the practicality of life.
For me, it's not just about money!!!!!
I want to pursue my dream! HINDI AKO SUSUKO!
I feel sorry for disappointing them... I'm just hoping that someday they will understand my decision..
So, I followed what my heart says...

"It's hard to wait but it's even harder to have regrets."
I've come to realized and accept that...
there will always be obstacles in every journey that you will take...
there will always people who will discourage you along the way...
and there will always temptations that will destruct you from achieving your dreams...
Most of the destruction we are encountering are the good ones. We thought that those things are good opportunities. Though it is really good... but we should never compromise the best over the good ones!
Sometimes, we have to learn to say NO on the good things in order for us to YES for the BEST! It's all about knowing what you really want and which stand you are taking in.
In my case, there's a lot of opportunities coming in and most of them are outside of the profession I want to take. Job offers with high paying salary and a job that is not too toxic like the work of being an Auditor... Is it a good opportunity? Yes. But I want more than that. I still want the best. Kahit nakakapagod abutin ang mga pangarap ko, kahit mahirap... sa puso ko alam ko makakarating rin ako doon at nakahanda ang puso ko na lumaban ulet.
As I've said, it's all about how much you believe on the things you want to achieve in life. How much you will stick on it.. Kumbaga 'til death do as part! HAHA! Funny! Pero yun talaga yun eh. Nothing can ever holds you back if you won't allow them to block your way.
If you really know what's your disposition in life, what you really want in life and what your heart wants...no matter how painful the words other says about you and how devastating your situation is, it won't stop you from pursuing and achieving your dreams!
Hindi ko pa man naaabot ang mga pangarap ko ngayon... alam ko na makakarating at maabot ko rin ang lahat ng iyon sa tamang panahon na inilaan para sa'kin ng Panginoon. At habang inaantay ko dumating ang mga oras na iyon, maghahanda muna ako... magsisikap, at gagawin ang lahat-lahat para mas maging karapatdapat ako sa biyayang ipagkakaloob sa'kin ng Panginoon sa takdang panahon.
"I'd rather fail on the things I want most than succeeding
on the things I've never wanted."
on the things I've never wanted."
If others will call me a failure, so be it. Those kind of people know nothing about having a dreams in life and fighting for something you really want. I'll just forgive them. I'd rather fail on the things I want most than succeeding on the things I've never wanted. I won't waste my time and energy for the things that is not what I want. People must know that isn't just a dream, it's more of passion... mas gugustuhin ko ng mahirapan ako ngayon sa pagabot ng mga pangarap ko kung ito ang magiging tanging paraan para mahanap ko ang "passion and satisfaction" ko sa karerang tinatahak ko. Kaysa dumating ang panahon na pagsisisihan ko ang isang bagay na hindi ko ginawa....
"The secret of getting ahead is getting started."
And the right time has come. God is very good at timing. He always know when I am ready.
After all, here I am taking stand and ready to fight again...
...more willing to accept the challenge and more ready to move forward.
Now is really the right time!
Time to prepare before the review starts again.
Segregating my reviewers, fixing my things and buying some materials for my review is the first step I take to begin. Now I'm feeling ready, I should not waste any time... I want to make every single second meaningful and fruitful. I pray to God that He'll be my light and motivator along the way.
THERE'S NO TURNING BACK!
NO MORE HOLDING BACK!
NO MORE DOUBTS!
NO MORE FEARS!
I just want to study and learn. If it takes me to start all over again to understand every topic I'll do it. I know it's just a process... and I will take it no matter what.
If the secret of getting ahead is getting started...
the secret of getting started is to
START by STARTING!
I know the beginning is always the hardest part!
But this phase must be great, it will be my foundation...
May God bless and guide me along the way!
Please pray for me. :)
That in all things, God may be glorified!
