REBLOG PLEASE!!!
running for the most embarrassing college moment
May vacant ako kanina na 11:00 - 12:00. Kumain ako, nag-toothbrush, naghanda for next class. Habang naglalakad na ako papuntang room inaninag ko sa salamin sa pintuan ng room namin yung blockmates ko. Naka-upo na sila, pagtingin ko sa teacher's table may prof na. Maikli ang buhok, chubby, "Ahh si ma'am! Grabe, 11:55 pa lang. Excited." dali dali akong pumasok sa back door. Napahinto ako ng mapansin kong may lalaking naka-upo sa pwesto ko, may katabi siyang lalaki na dapat ay babae ang naka-upo don. Nagtaka ako bakit hindi ko kilala ang mga naka-upo sa pwesto ko. Pagtingin ko sa prof, "Shoot! Hindi ko kilalang prof to." inis na ang mukha ng prof na yon at tatanungin na sana ako nang magsalita ako, "Sorry po!"
~~~
Will never go back there!!!!!!!!

8. THERE WERE TIMES WHEN I HAVE WISHED TO GET AT LEAST 30 IN A 100 POINT EXAM WHEN THE PASSING RATE IS 65%. I never imagined myself to be in this situation. But this is what i and most of my classmates experienced last semester. SRSLY. I think there were 3 or 4 exams/quizzes in AdvAcc and after taking them i found myself praying to get at least 30. No exaggerations here. I was wishing for a 30 because the tests were very tricky. And of course, the best feeling would be getting a good score (it means i passed, but didn't really get a high one) when you've been expecting a 30. If you'd ask me now if i ever got a 30, well, it's something that i'd like to keep to myself. Hihi
To any AMVian or Acctcy Student who will be reading this (I wish there would be), please don't be discouraged with this post. it is difficult but i have survived the semester and i'm sure you will, just do your best and put your trust in God as well :)
9. I HAVE CONSIDERED MYSELF AN ACHIEVER, UNTIL I MET ACCOUNTING. COLLEGE IS VERY DIFFERENT FROM HIGH SCHOOL. I graduated HS with honors, second honorable mention but like i said, college life/ UST- AMV life is way different. Back in HS, there were subjects wherein i don't really have to study for. I just have to listen to the teachers and i get the lessons. I only study for the subjects that i'm interested in (Economics, English) or the subjects that i suck at (Science, Math). UST AMV College of Accountancy taught me that you have to work hard for everything. I still remember how we used to study for a week for ONE ACCOUNTING QUIZ, back in my sophomore year. But that was then. We have to change our ways, well, at least, I HAD TO. The point is, my study habits during HS no longer work for college. Stocked knowledge just won't do (I have tried this once, I passed the accounting quiz but barely made it though, SO JUST DON'T). Advanced reading really helps (but i am too lazy to do this, so please do this. IT REALLY IS HELPFUL IF YOU DO). The thing is, being in UST Alfredo M. Velayo College of Accountancy has truly been a humbling experience. I have not failed any subjects (to God be the glory and i pray that i will never fail one) but there are really those times that you just feel so stupid, in Filipino, BOBO. Yes. Nakakabobo po talaga minsan.
Will still add a few to this list :)

4. THERE ARE STILL A LOT OF PEOPLE TO MEET. I've been in AMV for 4 years and yet i still don't know more than half of my batch. There are moments, like the yearly batch orientation, when i look around the room and realize that i don't recognize half of them. I'm not sure for some but this is what happened to me. Maybe, not engaging into a lot of extra-curricular activities does this to you. And of course, the population of UST AMV College of Accountancy is..., uhh not sure exactly. But it is a lot. And then, there's the WHOLE UNIVERSITY! I only have a few friends and acquaintances university-wide. This is something that i wish i have done. MEET PEOPLE. EXPAND NETWORK. Well, i still have a year left and I'd love to meet more Thomasians :)
5. I DO NOT BELIEVE IN THE ARCH OF THE CENTURIES CURSE BUT I STILL COULDN'T/WOULDN'T DARE RISK IT. For those of you who do not know this, they say that whoever passes through the Arch would be DEBARRED. That is, if you do this before graduating or before the Bacc Mass. I know a few people who already did this and are still in UST AMV. And we're already IMMORTALS! We can no longer be debarred from the university. Let me tell you this though, one of them is our DL number 1! So, yeah. I do not believe in the curse but i still won't risk it.
6. I STILL FEEL ABSOLUTELY PUMPED UP WHEN I SEE A FELLOW THOMASIAN IN A PLACE FAR FAR AWAY FROM UST. Is it just me? When I see someone wearing a UST shirt away from the Metro, I just want to talk to him or her. But of course I don't 'cos I don't have the guts! I promised myself to this at least once before I graduate ;))
7. THE LIBRARY IS A PERFECT PLACE TO STUDY AND SLEEP. Studying in the library has become a huge part of my college life. UST Miguel de Benavides Library is indeed one helluva library. I love how it is conducive for studying. I can stay anywhere in the lib to study but of course I have my favorite spots. I'm sure it's not just me who does this, I SLEEP IN THE LIBRARY. Yes. After a long, tiring and awful day in AMV, I just want to rest and sleep. "Why not go home and get some sleep on your own bed?" The answer to that question is: "BAKA DI NA AKO UMABOT SA BAHAY SA SOBRANG SABAW AT SOBRANG PAGOD KO". And yes. I sleep in the library. There were even times, when I go there to sleep, without any intention to study. Well, I must say that the library is, if not my favorite, one of my favorite places in UST.
I would continue to add more to this list. There is a lot to say. It has been 4 years after all :)
namatay na si AMV. RIP AMV. 5/27/14 at 92 Yrs old
Fifth Year Confessions Part 1
I will be starting my 5th year in the University of Santo Tomas Alfredo M. Velayo College of Accountancy in July (For those who do not know, BS Accountancy is a five year program in UST #defensive) and I'd like to share some thoughts and experiences to AMVians and also to the world.
1. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT ACCOUNTING IS WHEN UNTIL I STARTED MY FIRST ACCOUNTING COURSE. Okaaaay okaaay. This is somehow embarrassing. Srsly. I literally had no idea what accounting is. I wanted to be an accountant and a CPA but I had no idea what they do or what i will be doing in the future. Our first accounting course, ACCT 1 A & B Basic Acctg, was during my second year in UST AMV. I have been in AMV taking up Accountancy for a year and I still had no idea what accounting really is. We didn't have accounting/ bookkeeping in HS so i really had no idea. I just know that i want to be an accountant, i want to to be a CPA. Guess what? I fell in love with accounting. I love all of it.
2. BEING IN A 5 YEAR CURRICULUM IS PAINFUL. Lalo na kapag kayo yung unang batch sa school niyo at kapag sa ibang school 4 years lang!. Guinea pig. Experiment. That's what we were. Scratch that we still are. Your HS friends are already posting their grad pics everywhere, in their black togas, thanking their parents and basically just making you question your choice. Why on earth did I take up accountancy in UST? That's how i felt. It is painful. But you'll get over it. UST is still UST. The experience is all worth it. The set of professors is worth it. The pain is worth it. I still think that pursuing accountancy in UST is one of the best decisions I have made. I have questioned this decision a lot of times, especially this year, but I know that this is where I was meant to be
3. THERE WILL BE TIMES WHEN YOU WANT TO GIVE UP, BUT YOU JUST CAN'T. UST-AMV has taught me a lot of things and one of the greatest lessons i've learned in my 4 years is that no matter how difficult things become, you just can't give up on something you love. I wish I could say that being an accountant is something as noble as being a doctor. Doctors get to say "We save lives". We don't get to say that. But accounting is something. I don't know what something meant there but it is something. And i love it. I love all the stress and pressure it brings as well. And I guess I have to admit, I love AMV life too.
