TakeN foR GrAnTeD...

Good day bloggers!

This afternoon, we had our first and very long quiz in our Operating System subject covering chapters 2 to 5. And take note, we didn't have the chance to discuss it inside the class even once. Before we start taking the quiz, our professor asked us if we are ready. Honestly, I wanna answer him that I'm not ready to take that quiz simply because I didn't study. Yah I read some of the pages in those chapters mentioned but then I understand nothing. I was not nervous but I knew deep inside my heart I regret so much of not studying my lessons in this subject, I admit it was taken for granted. And here I am now just this afternoon around 1:30pm sitting infront on my monitor, taking the exam with nothing registered into my head even a single concept...what a worst experience really...!!! My realizations and guilts of taking it for granted grew deeper and deeper as I continue to read the questions...I really have no idea on how to answer those questions.. It was extremely difficult for a student who really did nothing to pass that quiz. If I were to rate and examine my answers, about 5% of it is really sure and all remaining 95% were all a guess"bintot bintot kung sa bisaya pa!!...It's a 10 minute quiz and so I have to submit before the time limit ends or else I'll be deducted 10 points...Well, as I click the submit button I already assumed that I will fail, well I have no choice but to expect the consequence of my irresponsibility...But whew!!!....I passed the quizzes. It is a 3 part quizzes and I passed them all but not that good scores really, having an average for each part: 87%,81% and the worst 78%...hahaha....After I got the result it seems that a very painful thorn was taken away from my body...Well, with what I did, I am slight happy of the result that I have but not that happy because I knew I could have better score than that if and only if I studied....I started to ask myself, was it fortune or I'm just born to be that hmmm....('smart')...hehehe....joke!!!

But this experience of mine is not just merely an experience. Again, it's a great learning that I had. One of my great realization with my mistake is that "Taking things(person, place,happening, etc.) for granted is not right and would never be right"..We always have the freedom to choose what are we going to do, it's just that we have to be prepared of whatever consequence in every action / decision we make...It's either good or evil and we are either worthy to be praised or to be blame.

Till next time guys...God bless!!!

Learnings and a lot more learnings!!!

Good day bloggers!!!

Thanks God it's Friday. Of all the days this week, this day has been the lightest day I've ever had. I'm very much preoccupied this past few days of my problems in life, studies, relationship, family, oh...name it....hehehe...I just don't know why but I started to conclude that this has been the worst week I've ever had this academic year...Well, but I think I gonna have to change it because it's not that worst as I expect it to be. So many things to do in school, but until now instead of getting used to it I still feel the pressure and end up the day very tired...huhuhu....to the extent of snoaring when asleep...

Well, too much for that. I have something to share much more important than this...hehehe....This day, we had successfully conducted a CORELDraw seminar for all ITE students that was excellently given by a certified CORELDraw artist, Mr. Ray Rubio. Once again the plan that we had as officers has been realized. It's was really worthy of the time we spent in the laboratory, the preparation, the registration of 150php as well. We learned a lot of tricks & hints which is very indispensable in doing artworks especially in the field of computer graphics. It was indeed a learning that would always be mine and for all of those who participated to. Congratulations to all of us..

But why do still have this strange feeling in me. Oh yes, I remember...We had a problem with regards to the attendance of the participating students. We fail to inform and give an excuse letter to the faculty whose classes were affected. Our associate dean told us during our meeting in the post evaluation that he will talk to our professors to that. But still that is under negotiation. For sure, the blame will be put on us again......Especially on our section, our professor is extremely strict with regards to this matter, I doubt of his consideration...I don't wanna mention anymore whom I think should be responsible for it. The reminders were already given, I expect it was prepared already but in so much surprise this noon he told me to make a letter regarding this matter. I was upset that I was not able to control myself but I scolded him because I have been reminding him so many times. I really feel sorry for doing that...Im sorry ---...but we are okey because he accepted it. I'm distressed for this coming Monday, knowing we will be meeting those professors again everyday...hehehe...Well, that's life...It's through experiences that we will learn a lot,..It's through experiences too that we will grow. I just hope for the best...The best of everything..

Oh you see, how great my Friday is... A lot of learnings....Learnings!!! and Learnings!!!

Till next time guys....God bless us all!!!
