Sabi ko nung first year ako, “konting tiis lang. apat na taon lang to. Tapos masaya na after.” Pag final exam at qualifying sabi ko, “konting tiis lang. Ilang araw na lang ako magrereview. Tapos masaya na after”, Hanggang sa magfourth year ako sabi ko, “konting tiis lang. isang taon na lang to. Tapos masaya na after”

Yun lang talaga sikreto ko. Aral maigi. At isiping magsasaya ka naman after. :) 

Ang accountancy parang kasintahan yan. Seloso masyado. Gusto niya siya lang iniisip mo. Gusto niya siya number one priority mo. Pahihirapan ka niya, nagmamatigas at ang hirap intindihin. Dadating sa puntong gusto mo ng sumuko at makipagbreak na. Pero dahil mahal mo siya, uunawain mo pa din siya, iintindihin at pagttyagaan. Kasi kahit saan ka man tumingin, siya lang din naman ang pinakamamahal mo at wala ng pwedeng pumalit pa.

Papakasal ako sayo Accounting! Hintayin mo lang. Tignan mo, dadating yung araw mababago ang pangalan ko at madadagdagan ng tatlong letra.. CPA. :)))

Ang sarap grumaduate!!!!!!!! Kaya kayong nasa undergrad, pagigihan niyo din ha! Lahat tayo magiging CPA. Tiwala lang! :)))))))

— BARBACENA, KARLA ANDREA ONGJANGCO. BS ACCOUNTANCY. CUM LAUDE.

This is really unexpected. ‘though it’s just a small award for them, but for me it is really something to be proud of.

Me, an artist? I don’t know. I don’t even draw nor know how to put colors. I can only draw an emo girl with a thick shadings. Can I really call myself, an artist then? :D

I am just very thankful for those people who appreciate and believe me for what I am and what I can do. I am not really outstanding in all cases. Someone are still better than me. But still, they chose me and gave this award. Thank you NEU JPIA and all of you who appreciate a nonsense me. :) Love!

Sana pagpasa ko ng board exam… Pasado na din ako sayo. :”>

To tell everybody, New Era University isnt really my first choice of school. When I graduated high school, my ever emotional gushy years, I set my mind up that Ill study somewhere very different from my alma mater, PUP. To take BS Accountancy there and endure how messy and troublesome the surroundings there; simply because its the university to offer you good quality education especially in Accountancy field with a very low tuition fee. That time, we are in a strange financial problem cos my dad got stroke and cant go to work. Before I took the exam, I prayed hard with undying faith cos I thought PUP is the right school for me. Unfortunately, I didnt passed the entrance exam for the reason I dont believe and know. The exam was easy, no boasting aside. I cried while questioning God.. why? I prayed. I trusted him. I did my best to answer the exam. Why God didnt answer me? Above all, He knows my situation. Does God forgotten me?

That’s the point I enrolled in New Era, even though we dont know where to get my every sem tuition fees. Being happy for the support of my family, I seriously promised them that Ill do my very best and never disappoint them.

Several days after my enrollment, one of PUP staffs called, that they are very sorry to tell me I PASSED THE EXAM only they got some technical problems that time. Im confused what to think, i started crying. I remember my prayers, I questioned God why, I thought, maybe God has a plan.

I dont know how long I could stand. BS Accountancy is really one of the toughest course to take. All I did was to pray. And now, four years had already passed. Few days from now, Ill be wearing my black toga. Ill march in the aisle, sing for the last time my alma mater hymn, seat in the front rows and later call my name in stage. And as I climb up, I completely realized why I studied in New Era. Why God send me here. Why God refused my prayers at first. Why God let me cry and suffer before. I asked God Why, four years ago, and the answer was now very much clearer to me.

At stage, with my parents, professors, everybody looking at me… A one piece white paper will be handed to me, while hanging a cum laude medal on my neck that I wouldnt get if I studied in PUP. I wont push this hard. I wont sacrifice, I wont study, and wont trusted God if maybe Im in that school.

God knows in the very first place what’s best for us. Just follow and trust God because you are His child. If your biological parents are doing everything just for you, how much is the God can do? God loves us more than you could ever think of. Just do his will, have faith and love Him too.

—————————- 

Lord, thank you. Who am I for you to love me this much? Im a sinner. Im a self killer. I am nobody. But you still forgive me, love me, take care of me and give these countless blessings. Lord God, I love you and I will forever praise your name.

Ganda niya diba? Oh! Ilike mo na! XD

Dali. Dali. Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaankkkkkkssss! :))))

“Useless ang mga taong magaling magsolve ..Kung hindi naman sila magaling sa concept.”
—— Sir Antonio Dayag.

I finally met Sir Dayag, who is commonly known as the author of Practical Accounting 2 and etc. Artista lang ang peg. Nakakatuwa kasi dati binabasa at iniintindi lang namin mag-isa yung mga book niya. Pero ngayon, andun siya sa harapan namin, nagdidiscuss at pinapaintindi niya yung mga topics sa libro personally, and more clearly.

Andami niyang alam na shortcuts on how to solve problems lalo na kasi sa board exam limited lang ang time so kailangan talaga natin ng mabilis na approach. BUT! According to what he said nga, USELESS ANG MAGALING MAGSOLVE KUNG HINDI NAMAN MARUNONG NG CONCEPT. Kung lahat nga ng tanong sa reviewers nabasa mo, tapos kinabisado mo, ilang araw lang makalipas nun, makakalimutan mo na. E pano pala kung pinalitan yun tanong? Edi nagkahalo halo na yung sangkatutak na computation sa utak mo. What we have to do, according to him, is to KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THE THEORIES AND CONCEPT because technically it’s the foundation of every topic. If you understand the concept, kahit anong problem pa ang lumabas sa exam kayang kaya mong sagutin. You just have to apply what you learned from the theory. Kapag board exam na ang kakaharapin mo, hindi basta alam mo lang kung pano isolve ang bawat problem, dapat alam mo yung topic AS A WHOLE para kahit bali-baliktarin man ang problem, alam mo pa rin ang bawat pasikot sikot at kayang kaya mo pa din himayin at sagutin.

Una sa lahat, hindi ako binayaran ng ReSA para ipromote ang school nila. Bugso ito ng totoong damdamin. Masaya talaga akong nagrereview ako ngayon sa ReSA.

First day kanina. Ang swerte lang namin. In house review ang ReSA namin. Ibig sabihin, ang professors sa ReSA ang pumupunta sa school namin tapos lesser amount pa yung tuition fee namin. But still, ReSA professors like Dayag, Uberita ang magtuturo samin, and their quality in teaching is just the same. Sobrang excited na nga kaming makita sila, na para silang artista na kulang na lang magpaautograph pa kami dahil sikat sila :3

About kanina, hindi lang magagaling yung prof magturo, GWAPO PA. =)))) Kaya alamo yun, ganadong ganado ka pa rin makinig. And you know what, first day at 2subjects pa lang kanina, SOBRANG DAMI KO NA NATUTUNAN. As in talagang ipapaliwanag sayo, back from the basic, kaya maiintindihan mo talaga. Hindi mabilis, hindi din naman spoon feeding, saktong sakto lang =)

About my board exam on October 2013. Halong excitement and pressure eh. Biruin mo, 11 months na lang ang pagitan sa pagbabago ng buhay ko. Itong 11months na to nakasalalay ang magiging buhay ko sa maraming taon na darating. Hihintayin ko pa bang maging 3months na lang bago ko reviewin ang pinagaralan ko ng 4 na taon? 11months versus 40-60 years. Grabe diba! Sasayangin ko pa ba ang natitirang 11months? 11months na lang! 11months na lang!

Nakakainspire magaral. Konting tyaga na lang, matatapos din to. Konti na lang…. :)

“ I actually don’t have any idea who’s smarter, but for the sake of argument, I’ll try to justify things. Accounting students solve problems ralated to business, financial and auditing. While engineering students face problems of building something new that can help us do things much easier. Now, who is smarter? for me, none of them is, they’re entirely different things or person that we cannot simply compare. Maybe if we put up an experiment that could test their intelligence not related to what they have learn as a student of thier study. It’s like comparing a “pancit” to a spaghetti and ask which is more delicious?, it will be a very long argument. :)”

“Well. I think Engineering students are more witty. Because aside for computing, they also need to work their “creativity” as to how they’ll design their buildings. And also, they need to work on a not so good place called construction site and lead the team. It’s a planner, designer, leader thing.”

“as the others have said, they’re two different fields so it is hard to compare..
but I’ll pick the Accoutancy students.. :>
BSA is a hard course, sinasala kami, pinahihirapan at tinatanggal sa course na pinili namin (and I know na ganun din sa engineering pero, diba?! XD) … Kami kasi ng may hawak sa finances ng isang kumpanya kaya kung sakali mang magkamali kami sa records namin, apektado hindi lamang ang kumpanya na aming pinagta-trabahuan kundi pati na din ang ekonomiya ng buong bansa.. Kaya masasabi kong mas nangangailangan ng talino ang mga BSA students :>”

“Hindi po sinasala ang engineering students. BSA have retaining grades but engineering has none. But dont get confused that just because BSA have retaining grades they are smarter. The reason why there is no retaining grade in engineering is that 3.0 and 5.0 are normally the grades given in engineering. If we have retaining grade, wala nang matitira samin. HAHA. “GINTO ANG TRES SA ENGINEERING” as many have said and that is true. That phrase is tried and tested by many and that phrase is the proof of our difficult subject no matter how smart we are. If that is the case then ENGINEERING STUDENTS are smarter than BSA students. Another consideration is that unlike accountancy, engineering is a broad application of sciences and measurements. It can be mechanical, electrical, civil, chemical, electronics, industrial, computer, and many more and take note that the basic knowledge of other fields of engineering must be learned by either of any type of engineering. If that is the case then ENGINEERING STUDENTS are smarter than BSA students. Kung paramihan ng math subjects ang labanan, lamang din ang ENGINEERING for having algebra, trigonometry, solid and analytical geometry, differential calculus, integral calculus, differential equations and advance math. And finally unlike accountancy, Engineering is both an academic and technical professional training. If we base on application of knowledge, ENGINEERING STUDENTS are smarter than BSA students. Pero di p din sapat ang mga sinabi ko para ikumpara ang dalawang mgkaibang fields of knowledge kung sino ang smarter. Pero kung ang pag uusapan ay halaga nila sa company or economy of the country, pareho lang silang mahalaga.”

“Courses don’t reflect the intellect of the person. Every course is different from another, and we don’t need to compare them. I believe that both courses deserves a vote, but we only need to pick one, so I’ll choose Accountancy. Business talks and financial situations are quite hard to deal with. It takes a whole lot of focus to solve a certain problem. But that doesn’t make Engineering students less smarter. If we weren’t obliged to pick one, I’d vote for both because every course has to be seen equally. No need for competition. :>”

— by Khye Penaflor

“I’m not generalizing but for me, BS Accountancy students are smarter based on the standards of different schools. Based on my experience, Accountancy has the highest standards among other courses. I know a lot of engineering students but only few accountancy students meaning, it’s difficult to enter that course because of the grades that you have to meet and maintain.”

— by Shine Soria

“For me… the question, “Who’s SMARTER between Engineering STUDENTS and Accounting STUDENTS?” is quite confusing and unanswerable simply because both are just STUDENTS. It does not matter if he’s an engineering or accounting student because it depends upon the student itself. If one will study hard, it is a sure thing that he’ll become wiser. We have different capacities and different abilities. One cannot do what the other does.mmm.. the important thing is the APPLICATION of the knowledge you gained indeed. After you graduate and find a job, that is the time that you can now answer that question by means of applying the things you’ve learned…but if we really need to pick one, I’d rather choose Engineering students because they also analyze and compute but it’s more complicated because the creativity is a big deal as well as the accuracy of every details of their work.. .(O_o~))”

“everyone has their own capabilities and intelligence, comparing them is like asking, which is more important the brain or the heart?”

Accountancy are more on exams while Engineering are more on application as I view it. But, can we conclude already that because of Accountancy’s retention policy and hard exams made them smarter? Also, can we conclude that because Engineering students are not bookish and they can apply what they studied in real life made them smarter too? All of the arguments above are correct and heavy. But the right answer for that, is depending upon the individual student perse. Every student have different IQ, whether you’re Accountancy, Engineering or any other courses. It depends upon how a student learns, pass every exams and how they use what they learned to become successful.

We don’t need to brag and compete others, what we need to have are achievements and self fulfillment and what’s important is we’re happy whatever college courses we take. That’s the heart of being a student.

I want to express my sincerest and deepest congratulations to all new CPAs out there. You’ve done enough time, effort and sacrifices but you reckon it is a great milestone of your life. Everything’s worth it. Everything is paid back after receiving your title. Everything is deserving to have your gratitude because everything was used in order for you to reach your goal. You are an inspiration to accountancy students like us. Your accomplishment motivates us to study more and more and never lose even single hope.

By next year, the same month, I promise, i’ll do my very best I could to be like you. I promise my family’s sacrifices wouldnt be wasted. Because I promise, next year, I will also add three letters in my name… CPA. :))))
