I kind of miss putting my thoughts into words. It has been 2 long months since I decided to take a break from Steemit or anything non-academic in particular. Pheew I'm glad that was over! I'm not sure if I still have an audience for my blog post as I pretty much cut off any connection from Steemit whatsoever, but I won't let that stop me from pouring out my thoughts.

One Hell of a Board Exam

My brother once asked me a month ago if the end of the world is real. I told him how ever true it is, how imminent it is, and that the world would end on June 3 and 4, the day of my Board Exams. He laughed but felt the urgency in my tone. For two months, I studied day and night in hopes of passing the last exam of my academic life. And I'm glad to say that I finally conquered it. Passing the NLE is a slippery slope and I firmly believe that I am on the verge of slipping - hopefully i do make it. It was a difficult mountain to climb much more that I wanted to aim for the top. It wasn't the most difficult test but I was surely caught off guard. I'm just happy that I did my best - or at least I think I did. Now that that's over, I am not sure how to make sense of the world around me anymore.

The Waiting Game is On

It has been 4 days since what I thought was a battle for my life ended. Each passing day, I would contemplate on the mistakes I made in the exam. It's not really therapeutic but it I just can't help myself. Now it's 5 days and counting, and the results are still not up. I swear, I could just disappear from the world right now and revive once the results are up so I could mourn my loss or celebrate my success. Who would have thought that the waiting game would be a more arduous task than studying. I wish the results would come sooner.

Officially Unemployed

Here I am all alone with my thoughts and wondering what I am going to do with my life next. I already conquered a dragon I prepared four years for but I am quite sure that there are even much more demons in the future. Life goes on and so must I. There are a billion opportunities for me out in the world and I would love to grab all of them. But for now, I am officially an unemployed undergraduate. Hoorah! May I sustain myself for the next few days lol.

A Changing Perspective

I had this really far-fetched idea that everything would go smooth as silk after the board exams. How wrong can I get? I just realized now that I had to pay my own bills and fend for my own expenses from now on. I would no longer have my instructors to tell me what to do but to rely on my own initiative. Furthermore, I would have to fight for positions I long for, kiss-up to bosses, make amends with my wrong habits and interact with people across different personalities. It's going to be hard and I am a fool for not realizing that sooner.

I now have a broader perspective in life. Indeed, life does not stop after the board exams. Whether I make it or not, the world is right in front of me and I need to face it head on.

On to New Life Goals

Everything isn't laid out in stone yet but at least the I know I'll be carving it soon enough. My life is way ahead of me and I have more to learn from myself and the world. It's going to be an even bumpier ride and I will need to buckle up for it. I just hope that my goals keep me up each day. It would most probably involve me making ways to stabilize myself financially, investing in myself, opening horizons for new people and opportunities, and doing things I never could have done in school. I shall not allow my dreams of being a Triathlete perish nor close the curtains to learn Martial Arts. I shall live my life in silence as I gain momentum until I am preapred enough to go out into the world and make things happen. Of course, my advocacies shall not go unnoticed as well. Environment, Health, Emotional Intelligence, Self-Awareness and Transcendence continues to be a pedestal for me.

Where does Steemit fit?

Being introduced to Steemit and the Crypto world has been an exhilarating experience and I am more than excited to grow myself in Steemit. I am officially back and I can't wait to spend my time in the virtual community now more than ever.I am looking forward to engage myself in he lives of some of the people I have grown to be acquainted here: @ybanezkim26 @thegaillery @reewritesthings, @christianyocte, @legendarryll, @jassennessaj, @pizzannizza, @smaeunabs.

Musta mo guys? Haha. Sakto pa ni akong gibuhat or unsa man?

I have been gone for quite some time to have noticed the advances in Steemit. The "Create a Post" is looking great now with the ability to pick from the Raw HTML formatting or a much easier Editor lol. I have also been noticing my friends making their #ulog, an initiative from @surpassinggoogle. I'm not fully informed of the entire initiative so I am merely joining the bandwagon. If we have met before, I would appreciate being updated on the recent happenings here on Steemit, @air-clinic, @thealliance and @steemph.cebu.
