Writing about C.P.A. Esquivias…

      
It’s been a while since I last wrote an entry in this blogspot of mine. It’s
not that I don’t have anything worth writing about. It’s more because I’ve
gotten tired of writing about the same mundane things happening in my life. You
know, typical
basura stuff :). Of course, it didn’t help that the month of
October is usually reserved for pretend studying leading to the exams.

But it’s all over. I’m on my
Sem-Break. And really I’ve so many things to say…

First and foremost though…

Luis Sixtus
Angeles Esquivias
just passed the CPA Board
exams. We now have another Certified Public Accountant in the family
(after our dad). After barely seeing him for the past 5 months, I became
worried that he might have over-studied and burned himself out and flunked in
the process. (Galing ko no?… I’m laying the foundation for my slacking off a
few months from now for my seclusion for the BAR hehe). But then I thought, my
boy is a genius. There’s no way he’d flunk the test. Thank God malakas tsamba
niya haha
:)

I remember
having a conversation with him back when we were both in gradeschool (I think
it involved our cuzz "Jop
B.A.A.-Boy"). We talked about how we would earn our first
million by the time we were 25 and how we will own half of the Philippines by
the time we’re 40. Now, I don’t remember whether we pegged it at MY age or his,
but since only the latter’s possible at this point… I’d have to assume we were
talking about
HIS
quarter of a century :)

       At least he’s going to be
able to earn his first REAL paycheck soon (I don’t think his 2-month internship
should count). All this while I languish in the jail cells of Malcolm hall for
four more months. Come to think of it, my "little" (big: he’s 5’10)
brother will finally earn his keep. I’ll have to start asking him for allowance
haha.

Seriously
though, I’m really proud of him. He worked so hard for his degree and now he
can finally say that he’s a Certified Public Accountant. But more than that, he
graduated
cum laude in UP BAA. I think that’s one of the toughest courses in the whole
of UP and I only have the highest of respect for those who graduated from that
course :). I mean, it’s the prospective employers who try to
court them, and not the other
way around. I guess that’s why so many multinational corporations have been
calling our house for the past 10 months now. Either that or maraming may crush
sakin and they just pretend to look for him when I answer the phone. *sigh* Me
and my backward (
back yard) dreams **grinz**

____OOO______________________OOO_______________________OOO_________________________OOO________________________

 It has only been 6
days, but I kinda miss school already. Well, not school-SCHOOL… but rather the
things you do with your friends, the people you see, the people you ignore, and
the people who ignore you. Hmm, especially
those. Haha. It makes those times
that you do talk all the more memorable. Lemme see… pano katagal na ba ko hindi
pinapansin ni Ma’am Chit…
:) I better be careful. Ka-friendster ko pa naman anak niya… hahaha just
kidding _ _ _ _ _ _
(if you’re reading this, walang sumbungan kay mommy)

        Oh well, at least I’ve been keeping myself busy. Lemme
see, I’ve been to Tagaytay with my blockmates already and we ate at Sonya’s Garden
(Man,
P600 just to eat grass, weird nuts and squishy fruits… to be washed down with “dalandan” juice that tastes like apple cider? Nadamay pa ko..
tssssss hehehe).

I have also started my long, long, looong
overdue
“personal-awareness program” (i.e. dieting haha). In short, I’ve started to starve myself.
After hearing a comment such as “nawawala mga pandesal sa tyan mo a? Isang
malaking dough na lang”, who WOULDN’T?!? You know who you are. Buti nasa Cebu
ka na. Hehe… Kidding aside, I think I’ve finally found my rhythm. I jog at least 2.25km
every morning then play basketball,
badminton or lift weights in the afternoon. My target: To at least look
presentable on my graduation day.

Somebody tell the Dean that I can’t afford to
be delayed
:) . Mashado akong ma-pride. Not to mention na ang press-release ko sa
mga tao e, magaling ako. Hmm… it’s not my fault =), I thought the grading
system in UP resembled that of Ateneo. Ya’ know, Four (4) being the highest?
Yun kasi sabi ng bespren kong Arabo. Puro daw kasi ganun nakukuha niya.

Haha

____OOO______________________OOO_______________________OOO_________________________OOO________________________

It’s official. The Logbook of C-2007 is really lost.
=)

        Nakatawa lang ako pero naiinis talaga ko. hehe. We put
ALL our block secrets in that innocent looking green logbook. We bashed
professors, mocked non-writing blockmates and select batchmates, drew the faces
of various weird-looking people in law sch (yep, including ourselves) and wrote
the crushes/crushees and all those
“m’al mo?” people. Imagine the goldmine
worth of blackmail, the finder would have over us. tsssssssssssss… I will miss the "
quotable quotes portion".

             Balik mo na!! ……………….. please? =) dun naman number ko and ni xtian dior e.  

      Kung hindi man… Ok lang. I’ve nothing to hide anyway (or anymore). Definition
of
constant-public-humiliation? One word. Julius. Hehehe. Waive ko na yun. =)

            It was my first time to go on a “gimik” last night since
I went to
“Twilight”. Aba, 3 months din yun a. I went to Embassy with some friends
who smuggled me in through the “guest list”. Ladies and gentlemen, meet “Mr.
John Co”. I don’t know who you are dude… but thanks for NOT going last night. I wonder how I was able to pass as Chinese.

           No more baon during sembreak! =( Awwwww…. But hey, if you
guys really think I’ve been living off my baon all th
ese years, think
again. I only say that so I don’t have to treat anyone. (devilish grin). Yes, I
do save. But lately, my so-called
“investments” and “stock-trading” have been
paying off. My “girlfriend-fund” for a non-existent (
YET ha? I’m still hoping to
meet the
“mythical” beautiful-woman-who-is-unaware-that-she’s-beautiful)
Girlfriend is creeping to the point where I can spend a little more freely again.

On myself, of course…

To buy new a laptop.

Gifts to myself are always
appreciated by the recipient.

I really can’t wait for school to start. Nakakainis no?
Ako rin naiinis sa sarili ko minsan =)
Wala kasi akong kadala-dala. hehehe

    five things, julzboy the goodboy:

    one: congratulations, luis! basta esquivias, panalo. ang galing! haha mana ba sa kuya?

    two: that particular comment that someone (whom i know to be irresistible and infinitely appealing) made about dough-y pan de sal in reference to your solar plexus was brought on because of that comment you made about her stomach (what stomach!?).
    two.one: still, “personal awareness” is fine… so go on, work yourself into a frenzy to transform that dough of yours into neat rows of rock-hard pan de sal!
    two.two: just don’t starve yourself, ok? you enjoy food too much–and that same someone will then be left without someone to pig out with. *grin*
    two.three: boxing tayo pagbalik ko! or dalhin mo boxing gloves mo pagpunta niyo ng pinsan mong “young and rich” dito sa lechon-country :-P
    three: nagsasawa ka na sa lutong bahay no? bet you’re craving for fastfood again. TSK, TSK. tama na sabi yan e. it’s no longer healthy. :-P di ka na naawa sa puso mo.

    four: san na nga pala ang blog ng four horsemen? wala na nga tayong logbook e… naglaho na rin si schaebolahhh… ano na legacy ng 4c 2007 nyan?

    1. “It’s official. The Logbook of C-2007 is really lost. =)”

    EH ANO ANG UNOFFICIAL? NOT LOST? SOME PEOPLE ACTUALLY BELIEVE IN UNOFFICIAL STUFF.

    2. “You know, typical basura stuff :).”

    YES, I SO DEFINITELY KNOW BASURA STUFF. I AM A FAN, YOU KNOW.

    3. “…by the time we’re 40.”

    THAT WOULD BE 3 YEARS FROM NOW FOR ME.

    4. “things you do with your friends.”

    HMMM. GOOD THING I DON’T DO THINGS WITH FRIENDS. OR MORE IMPORTANTLY, I DON’T DO FRIENDS. :)
    5. “I jog at least 2.25kms…”

    AYAW MO 1.6?

    6. “Ka-friendster ko pa naman anak niya.”

    DARATING KAYA ANG PANAHON NA MAGIGING KA-FRIENDSTER MO RIN ANG ANAK MO MISMO?

    7. “Gifts to myself are always appreciated by the recipient.”

    or something to that effect. :)

  10. Julius Says:

    pag ready ka na mag move on, may papakilala ako sayo.

  11. Jop Says:

    Hey Julzboy Not So Goodboy,

    Hayy.. “CPA Esquivias.” Kala ko ako ang magiging second. But well.. Ganon talaga eh. Pero astig. (Congrats Geez!… Basta si Luis - Mabilis, eka nga nila! Oops. Silent L. =)

    Anywa, about the wishful thinking talk you said about, hindi ko ata maalala yon. Baka kayo lang. Hindi naman ako materialistic eh. Haha. Not that I’m implying na kayo ay ganon. Hehe. =) Hindi ata kaya yung half ng Phils. by 40, mag set na lang kayo ng more realistic goal - like 1/4 na lang. Ganon… Har.

    Wow, so may high respect ka rin pala sa akin. Cool. Hehe. Mahirap ba BAA? Ok lang… Haha.. Yabang. Simple lang naman yang Accounting & Finance eh - common sense.. =) Much like everything. Feel!

    Re the Logbook - Di kaya naiwan sa Bicol? Grabe, tawa ako ng tawa sa treasure niyo na yon! Sayang. Buti na lang I got to see and read some stuff before it vanished. Baka nasa akin. Hehehe…

    Anyway, yabang ng laptop mo. Di bagay sayo. Akin na lang.
