Yes, today's class was not bad at all. As previously mentioned, I have International Management today. It was cool. The class wasn't full today probably because it is the first day. Usually most students show up the following week.
I have an Italian Professor today. He is cool and I love his way of teaching! We have two common things between us. We both worked in a global bank and we have italian last names.LOL (Mine by Marriage)lol
First chapter was done..Next week will be a quiz and chapters 2 and 3.
We finished the chapter pretty quick and he dismissed us earlier than scheduled.
Thats it for now folks! Will hit up with you all later!!
CIAO!!!

A Wonderful Sunday
It sure is!!!
I thought of posting a blog while waiting for my bestfriend to pick me up so we can go to church together. Mass is at 12:00 , so I have a little time left. After church we plan on having lunch with some of our friends. Don't know which restaurant we are going yet. I guess that comes later depends on what everyone is craving about.
Definitely today will be a good day to just hang out with friends before we hit a loaded work week. Ahhh today marks the end of my spring break also. Really did not do anything exciting except shopping..(i guess thats exciting huh!)
Tomorrow, spring term starts. So I will be in school after work. I will probably be busy. The professors had posted the syllabus for the subjects I am taking already and it seems like it is loaded. I bought all my books already and started reading on one last night. I cannot believe how different things are here and in the Philippines. In Phils, first day of class will just be merely orientation and introduction. Here, it goes right to the subject matter. Some professors even give quizzes on the first day. Probably because in the Phils, we take our classes for 6 months and here its only 12 weeks per term.
I will let you know how my first class is tomorrow. Tomorrow I will have International Management which runs from six o'clock to nine. It should not be that bad, but we will see.:)
Anyway, that is it for now. I have to put the finishing touches here before we hit the road.
Take care fellas and Have a great week ahead.

Today....
is one of those days. That no matter how great things are going, you are still feeling lonely!!! Do you get this feeling too? I do!! No matter how much work I do and how busy I get, I still feel sad.I do not know why!!!!..LOL
My boss called in sick today. He called me early this morning that he won't be in the office all day as he is not feeling well. I told him to relax and he instructed me some very important things to do and clients to contact. After the instructions were given, he told me to relax today and to take it easy. I told him, as soon as I am done with work, I will..lol. He laughed!
After making few calls to clients and insurance companies, I was just staring at the computer monitor for five minutes. I then said to myself, maybe I should try to organize the files at the back, so I did that. The storage area looks very neat now. No more clutter!!
My sister stopped by my office today and brought me coffee! Thank you sis! After work, I went to Macys and looked around. I really wasn't there to shop..I just really needed a walk and get myself busy. I did not buy anything tho. I have spent few hundred dollars today for my books.Woahh!!!
Anyway, feeling sad as I am...I was listening to some music that i have downloaded on my phone on the way home. It was funny. I dont remember if i have pressed something on the phone or what but the song "Break Me" by Gary Valenciano started playing. I took a cab home and as soon as the song started, I told the driver to stop and dropped me off. It was a block away from my house. So I walked down the block and tears just started to come down my face..Awww:(
The song ended right when I was at my doorstep! Is God trying to say something to me?? I hope so and I am willing to listen!:)
This song is very moving and inspirational.
You guys should download it on your iPods or phones! It is beautiful.

Essay (Where Do You Find Your Serenity?)
I'd like to share this with you. This was the first essay that I have written in school. Professor asked, where can we find our serenity...and here is my essay about it.. Happy reading!!
I got a pretty good grade on this!! I hope you will like it too.
Growing up as a kid, I was never close to my mother. I used to hate it when my mother’s friends said to her, “she is your carbon copy.” It was not until I had to leave our home to pursue my college education that I realized I am incomplete without her. Now, I understand why she was strict. She wanted us to be home at exactly six o’clock. When I think of the sacrifices she made for us, it makes me proud. She has worked all her life for us. She was a supervisor in a store. She would leave the house at seven and went home at eight at night everyday. Her love and dedication has shaped my life into what I am today. Just thinking of her makes me feel very serene.
In five years that I have lived in America, I have only seen my mom twice. I miss her terribly. I have learned to appreciate her more now that I am a thousand miles away. I remember those times while I am still sleeping, she would get up very early and iron my school uniform and laid it on my bed all ready for me. She used to prepare us breakfast, my family’s favorite, fried rice and fish. She used to come to our room in the evening and always reminded us that she loves us dearly. I missed those days now that she is not here by my side.
I am what I am because of my mom. She has given me her heart. She has given me strength and has always reminded me that she will always be there for me, no matter what. She has given me inspiration and she has told me not to be afraid to take big risks in life, like coming to America alone. She constantly reminded me that there is nothing impossible to achieve, as long as I have determination to hit those goals. Whenever I call her, it feels like she is just near me. Whenever I hear her laugh, it makes me feel like I am home.
When I call her in the Philippines, despite the twelve hours difference, she still sounds like she is wide awake. She has a very cheerful voice. She asks me how my son is, my work and my school. Whenever I have problems, she is the first person I call. One day I called her while I was at the bank working, I was crying and was very upset that I did not hit my deposit goals for the month. She did not ask why I did not meet my goals. All she said was “Strive harder. I am very confident you will do better next time.” I was very relieved after I talked to her and was determined to work harder. That call reminded me of a very nice quote about mothers that touched my heart by Washington Irving “A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden fall upon us, when adversity takes the place of prosperity, when friends who rejoices with us in our sunshine desert us, when troubles thicken around us, still will she cling to us and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the cloud of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.”
Some people may find their serenity at the beach. Some may find theirs at the spa. I do not have to be anywhere to find mine. I can just simply pick up the phone and dial my mother’s phone number. She is my soul, my serenity.

$500.00 Grant
I was in school today. I registered for Spring Classes. While I was at the Dean of Advisement, he noticed that my GPA was 4.00 (PRETTY AWESOME!!) He was asking me if I was working while I go to school and I said I am. He asked me how I managed my time and still get a great grade. I told him, I am just truly blessed! A new career opportunity opened up for me while I was thinking of going back to school. A less stressful job, yet I get paid better.LOL. So he recommended that I should see Financial Aid and see if they can offer me a scholarship. The Dean said, that because of my grades, I will be receiving a letter and award as I will be in the President's list. He said to keep the letter because it will be a great thing to add to my portfolio that I can use when applying for a job.
So after registering the classes that I wanted, I went to Financial Aid office and the Director welcome my friend and I to his office. He congratulated me for an awesome semester (winter) where I got a 4.0 GPA. He granted me $500.00 more for having that grade. He wished me luck and wished that I will maintain my grade.
It was not until then that it hits to me that I have underestimated myself all this time. I have worked hard for this tho. And I hope I can maintain my grade. Wish me luck folks!!
