Life after October 2019 CPALE release of results

As most of you know, results are unfavorable.

Life must go on though. As of the moment I have no drive to do anything (that involves my hobbies and interests for some unknown reason).

Day of results

I didn't feel anything when I randomly woke up at dawn. I was nervous before I open the site but didn't feel anything when I saw that my name wasn't there. I knew that wasn't normal.

When I told my mom about it, the reaction was normal "okay". When my dad got home from work later that afternoon, arguments got heated. We're all good now, don't worry. But that's when I started to break down.

Next few days

I was just being plain lazy. I complied to everything we need at home though. Did basic household chores, yet I still cannot clean up all of my handouts I used for the review. On my free time I just read CPA success stories, rants about failure, and some drama going on Accouting Coach facebook group. I also talked to few individuals and asked for advice on what should I do. I know for now I could go for a full time review. I needed a job. I decided to go to one of big 4 fims. I texted my contact there and sent an email to the HR.

Just that night before, it took me hours to update and fix my CV. I searched about the firm and basic interview questions.

But there's one thing I failed to prepare: the employment exam. It was not an Accounting exam. I've been only studying accounting, auditing, taxation, advisory and law subjects for a long time. It seems like my knowledge on basic english (like synonyms) and on other basic stuff has been kind of rusty. I don't know if I did well on that. I wasn't able to be interviewed since the firm will have Halloween Party on that afternoon.

I'm still gathering all of my options now and planning to apply to other 2 big 4 firms.

On other days, I went to the mall to get a package, went out for grocery with my family and did some medical check-ups & laboratory tests.

So far, I have no motivation to do things I like to do. I wish I'll slowly regain them, sooner or later.

Share ko lang no? Bagsak ako sa board exam.

Gusto ko umiyak kasi ang failure ko + hindi ko nagamit ng husto ung araw na binigay sa'kin. Kailangan ko magtrabaho muna tapos siguro mag-aral akong sabay. Arghhh, gusto ko magalit sa sarili ko pero sobrang hirap din ng exam. Alam ko namang ginawa ko lahat para makahabol sa mga topics pero wala e, ganun talaga.

tumblr is...

by far, my safe haven in terms of soc med. so here i am, telling y'all, i didn't make it on the list of Oct 2019 CPALE passers. it was indeed a tough battle but hey, this is not a litany of complaints.

big thanks to my ever supportive family for claiming that i am still their CPA na ate, my brave friends (cheers bcos 2 of them passed and we are proud!), and to my understanding boyfriend. you all are my inspiration. lavan pa rin sa life mga siz.

to God who calls us by name and greatly to be praised, this is all for You. thank you for always providing since day 1, no doubt You are almighty. i was never alone in this battle, You are more than enough. excited na ako sa master plan Mo para sa akin, Panginoon.

to myself, you are not a failure

That day, my mom became my best friend... and my dad.
