We ♥ Bondings. ;)

As college students, especially being enrolled in the Accountancy program, we are constantly bombarded with quizzes, seat works, projects, home work and the likes that it could actually stress us out and cram up on things. Though there are a lot of pressures, we still find time to enjoy and relax just to ease the burden placed on us.

Just the first week of the 2nd semester, we went to Festival Mall for the reason of searching for a required book but sadly, we weren't able to find it there. So as not to waste the trip we made, we ended up spending our time in enjoying the attractions there. ;) For anyone who's familiar with Festival Mall, you'd probably know Pixie Forest and X-cite, two of the places we went to. The first attraction that we rode was the Fun House. We were eager to ride it because most of us were first-timers. Even after the ride, we still had some argument whether it is the background that is moving or it is the seat itself rotating. Then, we went to this mini roller coaster in X-cite. At first we were very excited on riding it, but after seeing the real thing, some of us doubted to join, that's why we decided not to force the others who were afraid. The ones who were left ended up taking pictures of those who rode. :D It was one great bonding time that we surely enjoyed. Though we arrived late on our next class, we thought that it was worth it. ;)

Another bonding we had was just last Tuesday. We were supposed to have our first swimming lessons in our PE class. But much to our surprise, there was no substitute teacher who would teach us. This means we can't enter the pool area. :( We were very disappointed about this. After some time of planning, we decided to go to a resort called Double V since some of us were already wearing our swim suits. :) Since we had a lot of spare time we decided to just walk from Burol Main to the resort, but to our surprise, we spent 1hour walking just to reach the said resort. Actually, we were suppose to go to the resort called Fisher's Farm but when we got there, the cottages that we were about to rent was all reserved or occupied plus there was no one accommodating us. We felt a little bit irritated about that so we changed our minds and just go to the other resort which was Double V. When we arrived at Double V, we were so thrilled to dive in to the swimming pool that's why we rushed into the restroom and changed our outfit using our swimming attire, then without any hesitation, we dive into the pool. :)) Some of us may not know how to swim but while we were there, it really doesn't matter as long as we were together and just having fun. :) We may not be able to have our first swimming class but we still used our spare time in a pool, learning how to swim and at the same time having a lot of fun. :D Too sad that most of the class didn't join us but they also have their own plans that time and it was also about swimming. :)

So you see, it's not just all about studying and reviewing for us. We LOVE spending time with our friends as much as we can. It's somehow the only way we can unwind and relax from the stressful place called school. ;)

• FLASH NEWS •

Some people aspire to be doctors, engineers, teachers and business men. In our case, we all want to be successful accountants someday. But yesterday, one of our classmates proved us wrong. It looks like he wants to be an action star/stunt man in the future. :))

For some unknown reasons, he rushed and jumped over the barricade in our building. The act would've been great and it would've made him look like a cool action star.. if only he didn't fell and rolled on the ground. :| At first, he showed that nothing seems to be wrong. But then, we noticed that a part of his pants were torn and that's when we saw the bleeding wound on his left leg. :(

He said that it's just a little scratch but we couldn't help offering a little help by putting a first aid to his little wound. We were just laughing and teasing him while cleaning his wound Of course we didn't mean any of the things that we've said to him, we were just making a small conversation. :) It's a good thing that it was not his head that hit the ground or he did not had a more severe injury. ;)

Now we know, not all accountancy students have the dream of being an accountant someday. ;))))

One Step at a Time :)

♫ One step at a time. There's no need to rush. ♫

♫ It's like learning to fly or falling in love. ♫

♫ It's gonna happen and it's supposed to happen ♫

♫ That we find the reasons why. One step at a time. ♫

Another semester has begun in De La Salle University - Dasmariñas. It is a very exciting experience especially for students like us, who are new to this kind of environment. For us, accountancy students, it feels good to see our classmates again because anyone can be removed from the program if we'll not maintain a certain grade. We are so happy to see that most of our block mates were retained but because of the retention policy, there are some who were forced to change their courses. :'(

On our first day, like every Monday in CBA, we went to school wearing our fabulous business attires. We went to our assigned classroom where were supposed to meet our first professor, Ms. Joanne R. Balgemino. She's our prof in Fundamentals of Accounting, our first major subject ever. We felt nervous not knowing what our teacher would be like and what kind of lessons would we learn. But as we get to know her, we found that she's a pretty awesome teacher. We learned the basic principles in Accounting and it was an interesting topic. that day also, we met our professor in English who is Mr. Jonathan V. Gochuico. He is the author of the book that we are using in his subject and he is the one who gave us the task to have a blog. Actually, at first we thought that it was a very hard thing to do because most of us doesn't have any experience writing a blog but we felt excited doing it because it's just like having our personal diary but the only difference is just we have a certain topic to talk about. The day ended with us knowing our other professor.

The next day, we're very excited because of our swimming class. Most of us were afraid because not all of us know how to swim but we must comply with the requirement if we really want to stay in the program. Despite of the fear, some of us are very eager to have the swimming class, its not just they know how to swim but they are also after the bonding, for the first time, with our block mates. It's just sad that one of our block mates cannot attend since she will take the adapted PE class. She has a certain ailment that cause her to have skin rash when in contact with detergents and chlorine. Too bad she can't see us in our swim wears. :(

Another thing that makes the second semester different was the schedule. We had a lot of vacant time which makes us have a subject until 7:00pm. Though that's the case, we all think that the schedule is okay. We get to spend more time with our friends during break time and not only that, we could also use this time to study whenever we have quizzes and such. The week went on and we met our other professors. Most of them were great. They don't seem to be very strict and that's what we like in a teacher. We all hope to have a good relationship with all of them. ;)

Why one step at a time?

It's because we think that there's no need to rush things out. Just like the saying says, "Haste makes waste." With the pressure of passing and getting high grades, it's not good to take things too fast.. because if we do, we might regret it in the end. Just enjoy life while we can. Face all the challenges with bravery and always believe that things happen for a reason. But most especially, remember that God will never give us a problem and challenges that we cannot survive, so just go with the flow and take one step at a time. :)
