"even if i fail, i have to finish what i started."
saw this in an IG story, and I was like 👀 the conclusion will always be that i will never know what will happen if i don't try. it always begins with a single step, taking a risk, and giving it all.
be thankful for those small wins, those slow progress, and those little steps you take every day. it's fine; just keep showing up and take things one day at a time. just don't give up, because giving up won't speed up the process.
heard this from someone recently: "isa lang ibig sabihin niyan, determinado kang pumasa. nag-eeffort ka. so i just want to congratulate u for making it this far."
hayy, it really puts me into tears when someone reminds me of all my sacrifices to just get to where i am right now.
I absolutely admire each and every board and bar exam taker. Think about how much time they spent studying and getting ready for that one- to three-day exam with no guarantee of passing. It takes incredible bravery to embark on a journey without knowing where it will take you.
My supposed to be "Ma, Pa, CPA na po ako" turned into "Sorry Ma. Sorry Pa." Di pa ako makapag-isip ng matino ngayon, pero one thing is for sure, gusto ko lumaban ulit. Gusto ko bumawi para kay Mama at Papa. Hihinga lang muna saglit, then sasabak ulit. 🩶
"KAYA KA NAGRE-REVIEW PARA PUMASA. Tulungan mo sarili mo because at the end of the day, all you have is yourself. Ikaw lang makakapag-shade ng boxes, ikaw lang makakapag-submit ng answer sheet mo, IKAW LANG MAKAKAPAG-TAKE NG EXAM.
Regardless of the outcome, I know I deserve to pamper myself after this season in my life. I keep trying, even at the most depressing, gloomiest, and discouraging times of my life. I keep trying and fighting, even when it appears like I'm losing the battle.

My heart is overflowing with praise and gratitude. 😇
Thank you, St. Jude, for allowing me to take part in one of the best things every student could ever experience! 🤗
Thank you, Lord, for sustaining me all throughout this journey. This was all You! ❤️
Prayer for everyone:
May the things we keep asking God for (passing our licensure exams, having a job, living happily, etc.) be the same things He is about to give us.
Amen!
My "Sorry Ma. Sorry Pa." turned into "MA, PA, CONDI AKOOO!" Lord, di na po ako umasa pero binigay Mo pa rin. All glory belongs to You! Sureball na po sa removal exam ko ha? hihi
Paghihirapan, pagsisikapan, patuloy na lalaban! 🌻
i have to try to know where this fire in my heart will take me. ain't giving up after all the cries and breakdowns i had. will give it all, will definitely give it all.
Kayo na po bahala sa lahat ng lapses ko, Lord. 🙏

The most liked tweet soon will be "that single step I took each day made me a CPA," because for me, the only way to finish what I started is to become a Certified Public Accountant. That's the ending I'm choosing; that's what I'm destined for.

When I didn't see my name, all I wanted was to cry. Pero walang luhang lumabas, so akala ko it wouldn't leave a scar in my heart. But ever since that day, I have been questioning my worth.
I'm still chasing after my CPA license. And every chase definitely has an end; IT HAS TO END. May this pursuit end this coming October 2023 kase pagod na pagod na akoooo 😫🥹

; Do you believe in yourself that you're going to make it?
If yes, that's the spirit. Claim that positive energy.
If no, when are you going to trust yourself? You have to do it now.
I HAVE TO DO IT NOW ✨
Someone asked me, paano ko daw kinaya yung online review for May 2023 LECPA? First, it's a must that I have already accepted my situation. Meaning, yung ingay, utos, the environment itself that is not conducive for learning ay tanggap ko na.
Hindi madamot si Lord. Manalig na lang tayo na ibibigay Niya sa atin. Kung ano mang ibigay Niya, patuloy pa rin tayong magtiwala sa plano Niya. Kalma, lisensyado na tayo mamaya. 🥰

every time i wake up, my heart still aches, and tears still flow. the pain still cuts. i have always felt like i was never enough; i was not good enough. to be treated like an "almost" in everything and be compared to an asymptote where it has always been "so near yet so far"...
Super nakaka-calm ng nerves yung "You may not be able to recite what you studied but if you did good in your review preparation, you would recall those concepts when tested." It boils down talaga to trusting yourself and believing in the hard work you have put into your review.
I have been hustling for that CPA license ever since this year started. I want to get things done now. Gusto ko na maging CPA. 🥹 I never wanted to go through the same pain as I did last May, though until now, I'm still going through it.
I WILL BE A CPA ON MAY 2023!

..on repeat until it finally happens ✨
I've told myself a gazillion times that I don't want to see myself in the same situation ever again. But here I am, still fighting for that license. Here I am, still going through the same process. Di bale, malapit na. Lalaban hangga't kaya pa. Susubok hangga't pwede pa.
Now, it's going to be a complete surrender to Him and a gentle reminder (again) that it's not over until it's over.
Kaya ko pa. Kakayanin ko.
CPA BY MAY 2023! ✨
self, all those weight gains, the acne breakouts, and those eyebags were just some of the physical signs of the hard work you've put into this endeavor. wala pa dyan yung intangible part. so please be calm; you've come a long way. and girl, remember that you are a firm believer..
Dearest St. Jude Thaddeus,
Thank you for giving me hope. Thank you for being that ray of sunshine for the past few weeks of my life. I have nothing but gratitude.
Love,
Passer of May 2023 LECPA (🤞)
It's all about finding serenity amidst the chaos. I hope we can all do that. And I hope we never grow weary of pursuing the life we always talk about.
Magiging CPA pa rin! ✊

You, more than anybody else, should be the first to believe in yourself and the last to doubt yourself. Most of us will think that everything we've learned over the past few months is lost at this point, but that's not the case.
As I crossed off the first item on my list, which I had added on 01/02/23, I got very emotional.
The last 10 months have been devoted to obtaining the license I have been working so hard & praying for, & I have to say it has been well worth the wait & the effort, of course. 🌻
Key takeaways after finishing my first pre-boards with Pinnacle na dadalhin ko hanggang sa actual board exam:
1. Pray. Take a deep breath and calm myself
2. Kailangan mag-breakfast at mag-lunch para di magutom
3. Have enough sleep before the actual board exam para di antukin
It takes courage to accept you’re doing it the wrong way, and it takes a different level of bravery to do something you’re not familiar with just to get different results.
sabi nga nila, "it's not the time that matters. it's your effort." no one could ever tell you you're either too early or too late to achieve your goals. so long as you're desperate, you can always dream.
bouncing back from the major setback!
CPA by OCTOBER 2023! 🫵
Remind yourself daily for the next 31 days that half the battle is already won by believing you can. A major factor is having the necessary knowledge, and being confident is another.
I CAN DO IT. ✊
Today, one of my friends told me she's not going to pursue that CPA dream FOR NOW. Work muna. I feel relieved that I wasn't that affected by her decision. Naduwag na ako nung October 2022, kaya di ko tinuloy. Now is the time for me to try. I'll never know if I wouldn't, right?
i don't know how i'm going to do it yet, but one thing is for sure: i'm gonna get it done. someday, somehow.
to all board takers, let's get that license! ❤️🔥
skl. checked my email today, and yeah, a year ago, i wrote this letter. self, i'm sorry. i'm neither a CPA nor working at the moment. pero ngayong taon, pangako, magiging CPA na ako and magta-trabaho na ako.
THIS GIRL WILL BE A CPA ON MAY 2023. ☝️✨
Leaving in a few to chase some dreams, and I hope it all gets worth it in the end.
To all May 2023 LECPA takers, see you at the PICC! All dreams and aspirations will be realized. We just gotta believe and it will. ✨
How do I review? (online reviewee here)
1 subject per day from Monday to Saturday. On a Sunday, I recall na. Binabasa ko na notes ko for all the topics I studied for the week. When I reach my goal for the day, I move on to the next topic or switch to other subjects.
Kahit sobrang hirap, keep showing up. Ako na nagsasabi, hindi talaga madali. SOBRANG HIRAP. But don't you ever ditch your review. Nasimulan mo na din naman, so why not finish it? You'll definitely get there. Di mo namamalayan, tapos ka na, lisensyado ka na.
dearest self,
i will not put all ur efforts for the past few months in vain. u've put so much work into this review. looking back, u've improved, malayo ka na. keep putting more work into your goal. u're almost there. YOU WILL CERTAINLY GET THERE. konting tiis na lang iha. xoxo
EVERYDAY REMINDER:
✓ You're doing great.
✓ There is progress.
✓ Believe in yourself.
✓ Trust the process.
✓ You're almost there.
✓ YOU ARE A FUTURE CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT.
Yes, we don't know what lies ahead of us, and we certainly don't know what will happen. It's either the things we hope for will happen or not. But we just continue to do what we do. God is the ABSOLUTE ASSURANCE for the things we hope for.
just wanna share my small win for today. i was able to finish tax na! killer subject 'to kaya super takot akong simulan aralin before. and ang parang natutunan ko lang talaga wayback college was gen principles hahaha. but now, tax master na daw ako sabi ni sir b eme hahahaha.
good morning. today is another day to remind you na papasa ka. ilaban mo lang. imagine after doing your best and giving it your all, you'll see your name in a document with "" watermark. shems, sarap sa pakiramdam.
Before starting this season in my life, I made a promise to myself. Sabi ko, I will never lose myself in the process, but sometimes it's really unavoidable because not everything is within my control. Even my emotions are sometimes out of my control.
sure thing, i don't want to experience that kind of pain or that kind of regret. i know i still have a lot of time. i just need to keep going and keep pushing myself. and i will always remember for whom i am doing this—for my mama. and for God's greater glory, as always.
