finally done decluttering and decorating my workspace 🤓🍃

before this, my desk was so messy that i don’t even know where most of my stuff are. now, everything is organized in my drawers and my books are placed in my bookshelves that just got installed in my room. i can now study comfortably and stress-free because i never have to deal with my messy desk ever again.

so this is a gentle reminder to clean up your desk guys!! i swear it would make such a huge difference ❤️

im trying to study on my own pace and it’s going really well so far, i could finish watching lectures + take up module exercises & exam in one day, and still have time to watch and one episode of snowpiercer. im so happyyy, im doing better this week than i did weeks ago! 

i also print up the drawings on my module and cut it out instead of drawing because it’s taking up lots of time + im lazy 😂 

i hope everyone is doing well ✨

journal entry #1: motivation and deepest whys

it has been a very tough few weeks for me. i have been giving myself a really hard time and i have been beating myself up so much for not being able to keep up very well on my study schedule. i put so much pressure on myself these past few weeks that my mental health is starting to get affected.

after somewhat days of rest, and long phone calls with my dad, i realized that “wanting something” is not enough to push you when you are at your lowest, when you’re studying late at night, when you’re crying your heart out because you’re so tired, when everything feels like too much, and when everything seems impossible. i realized “wanting something” to push yourself to keep going is not enough when you’re dealing with battles with yourself and tough times.

i realized that what would really push us to keep going is to knowing our “deepest whys”. why we’re doing what we’re doing, why we’re pushing ourselves so hard, why we’re staying up so late even though we’re so tired, why we choose to be productive, why we choose to keep going despite all our struggles, and why we choose to get up even if we want to give up.

in reaching our goals, our deepest whys are what will make us keep going despite all odds. no matter how hard it becomes, no matter how tired we are, no matter how much we want to give up. with that, all our worries and doubts will not matter anymore because we all have a reason to hang in there and keep doing our best.

i already kept my “deepest why” in mind, i hope you find yours.

The reality is, this is where I am. There's nothing I can do about my past failures, regrets or "should'ves." I'm at this point now, and this is my starting point to build a brighter future. The present is your starting point.

Hello! Fellow Civil Engineer here! How long have you been in this profession?

hi engineer! i just graduated from college, i am currently studying for my licensure examination for this november ☺️

[inginieur]

hello! thank you for inspiring posts! May I ask what drew you to civil engineering? Congratulations for graduating !!🎉

thank you so much!! although im not sure if my posts are that~ inspiring but im happy someone appreciates this blog 🖤

so growing up, my family would always go back in forth from our province to Manila. i remember looking out the car window all the time and appreciate the tall buildings, and roads, and thought it’s really wonderful how we were able to build such beautiful structures. my mom actually wants me to take up medicine or a business-related program, throughout high school i was weighing my options as to what i would take up in college. although medicine and business are really good programs, i decided it’s not for me. as i grew up, i was more inclined and fascinated with engineering, math, and science. i would spend endless hours watching documentaries about how pyramids, bridges, and skyscrapers were built, and other science documentaries.

another factor on why i considered civil engineering is that my dad has always dreamt of becoming an engineer. it was his dream course, my dad wasn’t able to attend college because he couldn’t afford to go to college then. so you could only imagine his delight when i told him i’ll be taking up civil engineering in college. and when i told him that i’ll be graduating, he actually cried and thanked me for studying hard to finish college because it was something that he wasn’t able to do. 

i remember having a love-hate relationship with math but i learned that in engineering, it doesn’t matter if you’re good at math or not. what matters is your curiosity, willingness to learn new things, ability to analyze, and of course, you have to love what you’re doing ☺️

civil engineering made me cry countless times, and there were so many times when i wanted to give up because it was really really hard and challenging. there are a lot of sleepless nights, early mornings, and missed family gatherings, but all of these will be worth it in the end. despite all my struggles and doubts, i actually made it 😭

🗓 july 5, 2020

i haven’t studied for like almost a week now because my room got repainted from pink to white, and our house is currently under maintenance so it’s really distracting here. i’ve also been going school to file for my application for graduation and clearances, and i still can’t believe i made it 😭

anyway, i love my new white walls so much. the lighting got better and i love my new study area. i have a lot of review modules to catch up on so i better start now, stay safe guys!! wear masks!!! ✨

side note: how in the world do i have 1k+ followers??? thanks everyone omg 🥰

i should be studying for tomorrow’s test at our review center but instead here i am waiting for 12 midnight for the release of grades for my last semester in college and it’s so nerve-wracking i can’t calm down. 

i also just watched the latest ep of snowpiercer; what melanie said to miles made me tear up so much.

“You’ll be an engineer. But to be an engineer on Snowpiercer, you have to make sacrifices. And that can be hard.”

“We’re engineers. We keep the world alive”

UPDATE: GUYS I PASSED AND GOT GRADES MORE THAN WHAT I EXPECTED!!! I GOT A 1.395 GWA AND IM SO HAPPY AND IM GOING TO GRADUATE AFTER 5 LONG YEARS IN COLLEGE I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

cute lil study tip

i think your main goal for making a study plan, or any kind of productivity plan really, should be “how much can i do to be proud of myself”. that’s all. don’t stop until you’re proud of yourself.

i practiced math for only about an hour today. i was in a shit mood. that was all i could do today. i could do math for 3-4 hours on my better days, but today wasn’t one of them, and that’s okay. but i am proud that i did an hour of math, despite feeling really fucking down. i didn’t abandon my studies, i still made that tiny bit of progress that i’m sure is gonna pay off later. 

you don’t need an 8-hour study plan, you need a plan that is considerate and in touch with your mental state and the capability of it at this moment. i may need to push and try not to give up until i feel content with the day’s progress, cause i definitely don’t wanna feel like a total failure when i’m trying to sleep at night.

“When you commit to doing something, you make a promise to yourself. And when you break that promise out of laziness, discouragement, or fear, you are only cheating yourself. You are not “getting away with something.” You are only getting away from your own potential. When you commit to making your dream come true, that is the promise you simply decide to never, ever break. It doesn’t matter how many times you get discouraged, or exhausted, or frustrated, you just remember that you have not given yourself the option to quit. That is what commitment is — when the idea of ever stopping your efforts simply doesn’t exist. You have infinite patience and resilience because there is no other option. You have the ability to bear the pain and frustration because you must find a way to beat it. It doesn’t mean it won’t feel hard to press on — it might feel impossible, and yet you still find a way to keep going. You simply always press on. At a certain point, all your effort and energy and power is only directed towards your dream, and you no longer have to waste any energy on trying to motivate yourself to keep going.”

so it's been a while and our review for the licensure exam has already started. i've been soooo stressed and sad ever since. i've been beating myself up for not being able to keep up so well with the lessons because most of the topics are still new to me and i haven't encountered them when i was in college. but i realized i cant be depressed all the time, otherwise im just wasting my time. i promise i'll do better this week. i'll get up and try my best. I'll give my all, i promise myself that i will finish strong, and i will do this for myself and for my dreams. with that, im praying for a healthier mindset, strength, and courage. with God's grace, i know i can get through all of this ❤️ happy monday everyone ✨

im working on accomplishing small tasks because im starting to feel overwhelmed with all the requirements that i need to do especially because our finals are coming up next week. im trying not to push myself too much and just check off my to-do list, one at a time.

remember to take things lightly, and don’t punish yourself or feel bad for not being productive. lightly, lightly, we’ll get there ✨
