C-Razy ideas!

At first it was just my urge to go back to school to finish a career on the field of Arts when i got my  B.S. Architecture Diploma from Cebu Institute of  Technology (C.I.T.). But then a few months after, i took the Board Liscensure exams for Architecture. Actually, i thought it was just a try out (like basketball) to take the board exams, afterall, it was my first on many things! It was my first try for liscensure exams; It was my first trip away from my family; my first encounter in a big city like Manila; my first lodging house (since i never had a chance to rent one, ever ; my  first visit to Quiapo Church; not to mention my first plane ride ! Indeed! it was my first on so many things. (first time mo?). And after two weeks of nervousness the results went out and still i was not as excited because i was that ready to take another one if i didn’t make it. But to my surprise… my name was among the board exam passers !

Anyway, it was the start of my professional life. If you aren’t bored yet, i shall continue… Although i was all set to be hired for a fee and earn my own salary, still i felt the urge to learn more. Learning for me doesn’t end, In fact, up until now, i still feel the need to study more;  to advance to a higher strata and get informed better. And no siree, it isn’t the end of my research life, which i really love so much! I know i have this masters diploma to boast for but frankly speaking, i might pursue another field of study… hopefully around the area of Philosophy, or Law. Too much huh… well, perhaps, but i’m not closing any doors yet.

Just the other day i surfed the web and viewed foreign scholarship grants. I’m not sure where i would end up with this, but i’m quite sure i hunger for more learning and the whole process of education. Pray for me …?  Please do ‘coz i’m not done yet!

Commencement simply means: A start-  a beginning… But why is it that during graduation ceremonies it is called such, when it’s supposedly the end ? Well, academically, of course !(hmmm… sounds intriguing ?). For me, I consider graduation an initial step towards the future. It gives me the go signal, a hint to go ahead… to move forward…  proceed and meet the never ending challenges of life. (That’s me out there near the  podium, about to make that giant step for a brighter future (as if it isn’t  already as bright).

As the cap was being positioned on my head, i talked to Him  up there thru my brain waves and thanked Him, praised Him and glorified Him as i slowly walked towards a higher level ahead. It was my longest and slowest walk i did, it felt as if the entire stage platform never ended! as far as I can remember during my college graduation, it took me merely a minute or two to walk towards the altar passing by the center aisle of the Lourdes Church, as it was solemnly held there. (Just  click on the picture to get a bigger view).

As i was contemplating on my own, i found my whole self submereged in a tub of promises; engossed under faith; and focued on tommorow’s hope that a wider yet complex realm awaits me; a greener yet bitter-sweet sphere holds my innermost being; an extensive yet forcefull thrust of wisdom unceasingly irked myself to move on and continue life’s fruitful journey ! (Just me outside the the USC Cultural Center of the South Campus of the University of San Carlos, some few but exciting minutes before we took our processional).

Then my biggest smile finally emerged from my lips when i realized i’ve done it!  Actually, i didn’t quite understand how i trully felt, basta i smiled @ my best. (Pero, pinahimutang man diay ang labas sa picture !

* CONGRATULATIONS guys! We made it! (Click on the picture for a clearer view)

Love the sun for it warms your bones…

yet love the rain for it cleanses your spirits!

Love the light for it shows you the way…

yet love the darkness for it shows you the stars!

Welcome happines for it accomodates the heart…

yet endure sadness for it opens your soul.

" Don’t hold something in your arms that you could never hold in your HEART"

So true indeed… In this great wide world where we live in, there are things which we just cannot keep within our boundaries.

*

As always we live life to the fullest but bear in mind there will always be consequences whichever we look and how we look at it.

*

As we pursue our dreams, we have to allow Him up there to guide us through hard times while we continue our journey; becuase whatever we do and wherever we go, we are still under His care.

(This is too beautiful, i can’t help but post it here!)

Take chances, take a lot of them, because honestly, no matter where you end up and with whom, it always ends up just the way it should be. Your mistakes makes who you are; you learn to grow with each choice you make. Everything is worth it. Be you and be okay with it! (This was texed by a friend, thanks!)

The fun began @ SM-Bacolod, when we witnessed the mass offerring @ 2 p.m. because it was the grand opening! Oh YEAH! All happy faces including that of the priests (actually there were plenty, like more than 6 ) who concelebrated a Holy mass as a kind of gratitude for the success of the newly built mall! SM - Bacolod is designed similar to the great SM Mall of Asia in Manila City. Its design concept portrays more of the innovative layouts of the todays trend. Mind you this isn’t an ad of any kind, but as my face suggests, we had such a great time, not to mention we get to shop on all (take note ha- ALL jud) shops with a ten (10 %) discount !

I think the maskara did it all… hmmmnnn, didn’t thought of that really. Anyway, we had fun alright! We dance to the limits too! Afterall, nobody knows who’s who under the mask huh…?
