Thesis It!

I was told not to take a picture with Oble when I was in college in order to graduate on time. I followed that advice, nevertheless, I still did not graduate on time (I took college for five years because I shifted to another course so technically I was not delayed lol). Anyway, now that I'm taking my masters degree and still have to pass my thesis defense in order to graduate, I took a picture with Archer. Walang jinx jinx! Hahaha! I will graduate no matter what. I'm claiming it. --> Okay, I feel pressured. Huhuhu hahaha!

I couldn't contain my happiness last Saturday because finally, the three-month long of sleepless nights have finally come to an end. NOT YET. Well, some sorta kinda. Finally, I was able to finish my thesis and I'm up for the final challenge: The defense. I was told that last term, a couple of students failed the defense. *sigh* But at least, finishing my thesis is already an achievement. Should I fail the defense, there's always next term. But I don't want to fail it. I don't and I can't. I have already plans laid out should I finish my MBA. I'll promise to do my bestest (not just my best) and I will leave to God the rest.

My friends and I were actually teasing each other before we had our 'pictorial' that as soon as we post the picture, nakataga na sa bato na gra-graduate kami. And we actually have hesitations of having our picture taken with Archer. Lol.

Ang saya saya pala ng pakiramdam pag natapos na ang thesis. I was actually H-A-G-G-A-R-D (look at that eyebags!) because I have to overcome some obstacles on the process. I think the feeling would be magnified once I pass the defense. Hopefully, I will.

Thank you my dear classmates for being with me throughout this journey. Ibang klase ang ka-ngaragan na pinagdaanan natin in order to get that signature that would entitle us to push through with the defense. We are all feeling disheartened because (not just once but twice!) we have to convince our adviser to sign our endorsement forms. We can do this!

Last Thursday night - with our dear thesis adviser. Ang saya saya lang namin no?

For three years now I have been writing about my MBA journey. Soon, it will finally come to an end. I couldn't be more grateful to the Lord for giving me the strength, wisdom, and money (of course! ang mahal kaya ng tuition sa LaSalle hahaha!) to continue this journey. I remember when I was in college, I vow to my then immature self that 'pag graduate ko hinding hindi na ko mag-aaral ulet. But then I swallowed what I said and took a graduate degree. Indeed, heartbreak can do wonders -- I was actually heartbroken when I decided to take MBA in order to keep myself busy and in order to prove to someone my worth. Looking back, my reasons for taking MBA were so silly and it changed with time. I decided to continue on with my studies in order to improve myself, learn more and widen my network. It was all worth it. I guess, I'm going to miss studying soon. Hmmm... might as well take doctorate degree. Loljk. For now, I will focus on preparing for my thesis defense. I'm nervous and excited at the same time. Aja!
