I'm originally a shy type of guy.  But if there is one valuable thing that I learned from the streets during my ragged childhood days, then it was being OUTGOING.  So it sort of nuked the introvert within me and most importantly, has developed my self-confidence over these years.  Now you could imagine how unruly I was becoming when I wasn't permitted to play outside the house.  I totally hated sleeping in the afternoon but if that was the only condition set by our house help for me to play outside at 4 PM, then I had never failed to meet that condition despite the fact that I was faking it most of the time hehe.  Just staying inside the house was practically boring me to tears.  But one of the saving graces of staying inside the house was our family computer back then.  I used to kill time just trying to face Mike Tyson on a boxing computer game, Punch-Out but I was unsuccessful.  And the other saving grace was my favorite board game, the Millionaire's Game (a variant of Monopoly).  Basically, the Millionaire's Game is a highly-strategic board game wherein players compete in a virtual economic environment in order to create wealth by buying, selling, and renting properties using play money.  Now you've just known how I basically held on a tough business course known as Accountancy hehe.  As a child, I lived a dangerous childhood (just a bit dangerous).  I used to climb trees, cross a river, and run my BMX bike at a ridiculous top speed.  Yet at the same time, I found my sense of maturity quite prematurely by just staying inside the house playing Millionaire's Game with my father.  Sometimes, I was asking him the meanings of some business jargons in the game that a typical child would not normally understand.  But everytime I asked, his answer was always a predetermined, "You will eventually know it as you grow up."  But still, I played the game as I was taught by him about the bare fundamentals.  And my father mused one day, the day I became a CPA, that he couldn't imagine how little RC gradually transformed and ultimately achieved such an esteemed title.  Ok, enough for too much drama hehe.  Too much drama could freakin' kill.  And take a look at me now, bumming my ass off hehe.  I still haven't passed my resume to any company.  I didn't even attend the job fair many months back.  Thing is, aside from "writing" that made me thousands, my passion for anything about business is still alive and kicking.  Perhaps, had I not discovered the Millionaire's Game, I would have soared my ass out of the dreadful Accounting course.  It is, after all, the passion that keeps the fire burning, baby.  But as I wrote here, no wonder, I've been a lost kid. 

I vividly remember that night (I was in 1st year highschool I think) when I was tasked by my father to post the amounts to the ledger of a water refilling business.  I mean, come on, a water refilling business?!  Just imagine the immense volume of its transactions in a single day!  From that night, I said to myself that bookkeeping s*cks crinkly balls.  And I even made a promise to myself that I will never EVER take Accounting in college.  And as you can see, I ate that up like the legendary Cookie Monster.  You might not have an idea how that bookkeeping task bored the living daylights out of a dorky RC back then.  So before I embark on a new journey, I still have some emo soul-searching escapades to do hehe.  I mean, come on, once you get into a job, it would be tough to get your ass out of it in case you feel freakin' suffocated in a surrounding wherein dealing with different kinds of people is more stressful than the job itself.  If you encounter, for instance, an RC-like in the workplace, well, that would be doubly hard if not excruciating haha.  Especially if you're a hot girl hehe.  Ok, I'm just playing.  Well, what I've been trying to share all along is that even though I'm slacking at this very moment, I still have plans to practice my profession.  So don't worry Logis hehe.  Anyone probably has an idea how difficult it really is to hurdle the CPA Board.  And I'm not crazy enough to never grab that opportunity.  It would seriously take another entry to share what particular area in Accountancy I've been wanting to practice.  But let me tell it once and for all that it's not going to be external auditing nor the academe hehe.  Let us see, let us see...                                           

Last year, I devoted my whole entry to my friends especially to the readers of my blog who hurdled the CPA Board Exams.  Again, Gold, are you still lurking on my blog hehe?  Say Hi.  My comment form is already functioning hehe.  Anyways, I COULD HAVE been a CPA a year ago.  But 2007 simply wasn't my time.  I was still in college then.  But it was a blessing though 'cause I did learn the true value of waiting.  And now on this very day, this is my moment and what was that David Cook Song hehe?  Ok, let me congratulate myself for passing the October 2008 C.P.A. Board Licensure Examinations.  I could have never done it, really, without prayers especially those prayers that came from my relatives in Samar.  Through God's unending grace, I've never failed to make my parents so proud.  Dude Elaine, you're so right.  Prayers do work!  And I specially congratulate the new CPA who's been reading my blog, Lesley Sio.  Did I miss someone hehe?  That's it for now.  I feel like dancing hehe.
