Finally, I'm Now a Certified Bookkeeper!

FINALLY, I’M NOW A CERTIFIED BOOKKEEPER!

The long wait is over! Thirteenth of November year 2019, I got the first title on my name.

Elyca-wil B. Pangilinan, CB

Oh, goodness! Hello, readers! So, you have already read it, I am now a Certified Bookkeeper. KYAH! PAANO KUMALMA??? HAHAHA. For those of you who don’t know what CB is, it is the title you’ll get after taking the Bookkeeping National Certificate III (NCIII) Exam. What is the importance of this? Disclaimer: I did not do any research so baka may masabi ako na hindi legit. But, what I’ll tell you are based on what our teacher told us. If I remember it correctly, most takers of this exam are those people who have something to do with Accountancy, Business and Management. If you graduated with a degree of BS Accountancy and you have this certification, you will be able to work abroad even though you are not a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) yet. Kasi sabi ng teacher namin, sa Pilipinas super big deal and pagiging CPA at ‘yon talaga ang hinahanap na credential ‘pag magta-trabaho. Pero sa ibang bansa, balewala ang pagiging CPA kung hindi ka NCIII Passer. Additional pala, this kind of exam is under TESDA, TVL and ABM track ng Senior High School ang may mga exams na ganito.

HOY TAMA NA NGA SA PAGBIBIGAY NG MGA INFORMATIONS. BAKA MALI MALI PA MGA PINAGSASABI KO. GUYS, ONCE AGAIN, I AM NOT A RELIABLE SOURCE. HAHAHA SA MGA LESSONS LANG SA BUHAY NIYO KO MAAASAHAN PERO SA MGA BAGAY NA GANITO, AY NAKO, IT’S A NO FOR ME. HAHAHA

So, share ko na experience ko sa pag-take ng CB exam sa inyo. Before I continue, I am not writing this to brag. I am writing this to inspire. Basta I am sure after this, may matututunan kayo. I guarantee you. LOL.

This exam was supposed to be taken last April but our teacher got busy so it got moved to October 23, 2019. And, unfortunately, the assessor got sick so the exam got postponed again. I was super annoyed that time. Paano ba naman kasi, nagreview na ako tapos pagka-online ko sa messenger, nalaman kong hindi pala tuloy. HAYS. So there, after a long time of waiting, our examination was scheduled on November 13, 2019. YES, NATULOY SIYA.

So at 7:30 AM, we are already in DHVSU (School ko). My classmates and I went to the Research Center/Office. Pagpasok namin sa testing area, super lamig, besh! Todo jacket kami. Feeling magba-Baguio lang gano’n. HAHAHA Guys, I am sorry. I am not really good when it comes to narration. Bear with me. Oh, ‘yun. We started the exam and I am also the first one to finish the exam. Since my desk is in front of the table of the assessor, the Dean of College of Business Studies, Mr. Luisito, I was so nervous when I saw him checking my paper. Nakahinga lang ako ng maluwag ng check lahat ng journal entry ko. Kapag kasi may mali doon, mali na buong ginawa mo, so meaning, there is a high chance for me to fail. But, I managed to get a 96.5% passing rate. Thank you, Lord!

I was also so happy when the 10 of us who took the exam all passed. Ten out of ten, readers. Galing, ‘no? HAHAHA char.

Let’s stop with the narration, I really suck at that. I wrote this blog to inspire you that you must work hard when it comes to achieving your goal. Never settle for less. Always aim for greater heights, for greater things. It’s true that life is too short and you only live once, so make the most out of it. Live your life to the fullest. We can be tired and exhausted in our journey of chasing our dreams, we can rest, but we must never stop, even though there are a lot of hindrances and tons of stopovers and delays.

Dream big. And, our dreams must not stay as dreams. As what our Parish priest said, “Ang taong walang pangarap ay maihahalintulad sa patay, humihinga lang pero parang hindi nabubuhay.” I agree with him. What is the essence of being alive if we don’t have dreams, if we lack aspirations, and if we don’t have any desires?

REMEMBER: Live for your dreams, don’t live just to meet the fucking expectations of the people around you. LIVE FOR YOURSELF.

Okay. That’s it. I have the urge to write this blog but I don’t know if I said my points chronologically. One thing is for sure, WE MUST DREAM AND WE MUST DO EVERYTHING TO ACHIEVE THOSE DREAMS. I forgot some of the details I want to write here because I planned to write this on the evening of my CB exam. But I don’t know what is the reason why it took me until tonight finishing it. I hope you get something from this blog. Thank you for today. I had fun writing this. I hope you also have fun reading. Have a nice day! ‘Til the next blog. Mwa.

PS: This is super duper late upload. This was in my drafts and I forgot to publish it months ago. HAHAHA sorry. Love lots.
