National Accounting Showdown

last week i called her in the evening it was still raining hard back then, but i stood there under the rain even thou i have an umbrella, it was still raining hard, im hungry and tired but because i want to hear her voice again, i endured it, after a while we were both laughing again haha, i said i missed her, she said she missed me, she missed how i make her laugh, it was a real happiness amidst the raging wind and rain. After all these months of being empty i felt alive again that night. it was a simple conversation yet a special one for me, i know she's ok with her new bf, she even said that he was very kind like me, somehow its an assurance and besides she's very ok right now so i have nothing against that guy as long as he is making her smile a lot. after almost 1 hr of talk i ended the conversation due to lack of load haha and my hunger was getting intense but rest assured i slept that night with a big smile on my face :)

the next day we attended a seminar about cat/cpa, of course im happy that people recognize me because i already became a cat thou it was still unofficial, but the most remarkable that happened that day was when i was told to represent the school in the national accounting showdown, and after i heard that, i was overwhelmed with fear and pressure but i accepted it, the feelings that i felt afterward was very intense, fear and pressure was overwhelming because it was my first time to be in a contest and besides it was a national contest whew and my classmate just won the championship in a contest here in ncr so i was oozing with pressure all over my body. I have only 1 week to prepare the seven board subjects holy crap haha insane is the right term to use because of that :)) i reviewed very hard, that week was the most tiring week as of my fourth yr in college, i was literally exerting my 101%effort i was really really tired. I even visited a far away church which i cant remember where is that place, i even sacrifice basket of eggs in the altar and of course i prayed that i will win the contest. when saturday came, i spent my day sleeping yes sleeping very early because i want to recover my energy. sunday, the day ive been waiting for, we arrived early and waited for almost 2 hrs, and of course im really bored but the aura there was frightening at the same time exciting because all persons in there were outstanding cpa's in their own fields and of course the contestants were all of high caliber. the contest proper took place and the first question was raised, of course im super nervous but i just prayed to the lord that he guide me so i just did my best to answer the questions, every correct answer was a success for me especially the guess ones haha. i really did my best, and i emerged as top13 among the 36participants. my first contest was great and it was all thanks to the lord. i didnt got the first place but i got the experience that i will treasure for the rest of my life :) thank you lord.
