What Time is it?

"What day is it, and in what month... this clock never seemed so alive"
- You and Me by Lifehouse


I am a confessed latecomer, yet i know how to value time.

I was writing my composition for Accountancy Journal's Diskwento when i started realizing about this stuff. "Others may say that I have wasted three years of my life, but it was really a fruitful 3 years which helped me to be the better person I am now." Quoted from my composition.

Its a plain blah. i needed to defend myself from that statement, and yes, i am not regretting the 3 years, but i am afraid that others would consider those 3 years a waste, i don't know how to answer questions about that 3 years, how i failed and how i almost drown myself with problems.

In these 3 years, i may not have gained academic knowledge in accounting but i know i've gained wisdom in life and extraordinary friends. My parents wouldn't understand my sentiments but i am happy that i have friends with me who can understand me all along. Sorry for having a different perspective in life.

There are chances wherein i sometimes consider those years a waste, earlier, i imagined myself if i fought for my aspirations and already shifted to Advertising or Architecture, will there be a difference in my life today. I even got irritated when i remember a person merely said that "if you'll be in CFAD or other college, maybe you can graduate or better with a latin honor".

I talked with kuya Mon Yu, and i was surprised with what i heard from him thinking that we just met for about a week, "kahit ganyan nangyari sayo, alam kong intelihente kang tao". I know that i can defend what i've been telling all along that i am a student misplaced in the wrong college and program.

Its already May 2009, only a few weeks left and its another academic year, i really don't know how to build my life once again and be able to stand up proud. If you'll ask me, i am proud of myself, but i am not proud of what situation i am in.
