thats exactly what wenbert did last monday. drove from 8am till sundown, from mandaue to liloan, to boljoon, and back… it was our first trip by ourselves after 5 years of being together. it was a great way to end my 5.5 years in college. sunday was the last board exam. i wanted to do something enjoyable while waiting for the exam results to come in. lexmark had the ramadan holiday on monday instead of tuesday. it was a perfect fit.

our goal: we were going to find a good beach anywhere between SRP and boljoon.
our tools: a full tank of gas, fastfood takeout, 2 bags of chips, a loaf of bread, peanutbutter & cheezwhiz, and a good camera.

we took our fastfood takeout lunch across the boljoon church. i really love this part of boljoon. the scenery is amazing.

i just love how that part of the mountain sticks out, hiding the road and everything else. you almost forget that there’s a road back there.

we spent the rest of the afternoon in dalaguete. wenbert had great fun swimming. i had fun taking pictures..hehe…

next time, we’re goin’ up north.

i was so scared of failing. see, i’ve never failed a single exam in my life. and what a big joke it’d be if i failed the one LAST exam that really mattered. after the taxation exam, i was sure i’d sealed my fate and i was resigned to a retake.

i spent the entire day yesterday "away from civilization". wenbert and i took a road trip to boljoon!he wanted a swim; i wanted to take my mind off the exam results.  we got to wenber’ts home at around 5pm. i had a feeling the results were in, but i didn’t want to know right away. instead, we watch "snakes on a plane". at around 7pm, wenbert had to update some websites; so it was inevitable, the internet beckoned. i checked the net and saw the flashing banner "new cpa examination results". i was literally ready to start crying because i "knew" i had failed.

i pressed CTRL + F, typed in my name, and omg, there i was, cpa board passer #918…. i felt GOD right there and then. i cried, but yes, you guessed it, they were tears of joy :). it was euphoric. i texted my friends, emailed my relatives abroad, and called home.

thank you so much to everybody who cared! esp wenbert who drove to liloan from mandaue at 5:30 am of my exam days to take me to uc-main. to his mom for the sacred heart novena. his aunt & ms. gerebese for their prayers. to the crazy family. thank you!!! and oh, i used the cross ballpen from Rhine for good luck and it worked!

i’ve always liked topping my exams since kinder, but yesterday, it felt a hundred times better to "JUST" pass. please correct me, but wasn’t the date yesterday DECEMBER 25?
