its raining books and exams on a rainy August



its been a busy month.
august started with the day 1 of my training in this stock brokerage firm. we are required to pass two licensure exams (s7 and s63). required to study 22 cahpters in 3weeks. each day on training consists of discussion of two chapters. 2 quizzes, one long topic test (120 items, on the average). weekends were alotted to studying, to the point of going to work for group study/self study with videos/ catch up with the online exams.

this training has been my karma. i've slacked off most of my life. i had it easy in school. even if we have special curriculum in high school. AB Pol Sci was a breeze. i haven't really picked up textbook as far as i can remember (oh yes, it save my mom alot of budgetary pains each school year!)

i love to read but textbooks are just is not my thing. i love answering online quizzes if its on friendster (yikes!) or  other online sources. but this s7 review is just killing me. it must have burned nerve endings inside me.

that or it made my IQ skyrocket, resulting to a positive yield curve with no signs of letting up. methinks that i have gone past my resistance level. measure my IQ pls. haha.

so i have to lost most of my me-time. my jowa time.

but since i am one hell of a multi-tasker i was able to squeeze in a photoshoot.



that's my good friend of 6 years and his bride. i took the photos, kumag did the make up.
but prior to that, kumag and i  gallivanted around makati on a rainy night with a fellow photo-hobbyist (Vince Condicion). he took our pre-nup shots.
so i guess these are the reasons why i wasn't able to blog as much as i want to.
today we just had our second pre-final exams (two more to go!), thanks to my ultra short attention span i barely made it. hanging! 70% was my rating, 70% was the minimum that you can get to pass. 
right now on my lap, i have this little booklet that summarizes the 22 chapters, as opposed to the humungous ring bound four inch thick textbook that i have to drag to office for the past three weeks.

going for the gold, is the catchphrase. i have to steadfastly fight off any idea of resignation/quitting because right now it surely is tempting to do so.

so help me Papa Jesus.
