I just love this character so much.

This is so true. I love making up stories just for fun and not to deceive people. I love it when we where in high school and we were assigned to make short stories. I get really good grades for my stories.

I just wish assignments are like that in MBA.

Jump Start

I did a bullshit paper. I am so disappointed with the paper. I was lost.

I learned a lot from this. Thank you Lord. I have to move on now and do my best. I am here to study and I should not waste this opportunity.

I can do this.

Stop, Look and Listen

I have to stop to think and vision my distant future. I'm hoping to finish my MBA this June and I am at the stage where I don't know yet what to do next. My heart says to go back, but I hear a lot of people telling me to stay. I have great work opportunities waiting here in Australia and it will be good for me and my family financially. But I miss my family so much and it's not that easy to go back home anytime I want. I will list down my "plans" (this is not basically in order):

Plan A: Stay here in Australia
If I stay here in Australia, I can earn a lot and I can return my dad's investments in my MBA. But the question is, how long will I stay? If I stay here to work and focus on the money, there will come a time where in I will go back in this position, thinking what to do next. I am not yet ready to stay here for good. I don't want to think that way. I know there is someone waiting for me in the Philippines but I really don't know what he wants. I know he is contented in his company and position. But unfortunately, we haven't talked about the "settle down" stage of our relationship. So as of now, I'm on my own with this situation.

Plan B: After my third semester, I'll look for a job in Singapore
Singapore is a good place to work for IT people. I think there will be a lot of job opportunities there for me. The salary is almost the same with Australia. It is much nearer to Philippines, I can go back to Manila a couple of events. Tentative plan:

  1. July: finish third semester and look for a job in Singapore. 
  2. Aug - Sept: work for part time here (just to save money for pasalubongs and stuffs) and I hope there will be a job offer in SG. 
  3. Sept: go back in Manila. Fix some things and go to SG. 
  4. October - go back Manila to attend Oman's wedding. 
  5. November: go back to attend Cherry's wedding. 
  6. December - Jan: graduation (either Malasia or Singapore) and go back in Manila of Rochelle's wedding, Christmas, New Year and Mom's 60th birthday. 
Plan C: Stay here in Australia and marry a citizen for instant PR. - (worst case)

Decide.

DEADLINE: January 31, 2012

Perfect moment?? Nah!


Don't wait for the perfect moment! Just do it!

I saw this on Facebook and this inspired me. I am currently doing a 3000 words paper about the Director's Duties in Australia and I am 63% done. But all I have this day so far is just 3%. There are too many distractions and I am really too lazy to work right now. I still have some holiday hangover. I am also too excited because my cousins will be back tomorrow! I hope i got some gifts from my family in Manila. Goal for today is additional 17% for my paper! I wont sleep until I reach my goal for today!
