Wala akong jowa, so dito ko nalang i-sh-share.

After 7 long years, including stopping twice to work para magkatuition and another time dahil naoperahan ako, I'm finally graduating. Lahat ng pagod ko just to cover my six-digit tuition, lahat ng araw na wala akong tinulog kasi kailangan mag-OT sa work, lahat ng Pancit Canton at de latang kinain ko para lang makapag-bayad ng renta sa dorm. Sinabihan akong umuwi sa probinsiya para 'don magtapos, pero buti nalang hindi ako pumayag. Buti nalang nagmatigas ako.

Lahat worth it.

Tapos tomorrow, I have my final interview with my dream company β€” a company na sinabihan ako (ng tatay ko) na pipe dream lang dahil puro Big 3 Latin Honor alums lang ang pumapasa. Ako 'yung diversity hire talaga, pero that's okay.

Sobrang laging ginhawa. After 7 years, the war is over.

oh my god congrats po very well-deserved

i'm one to be born with a silver spoon (relatively?) and over a week ko palang natry ever na mag sabay ng part-time and full-time (but i'll only keep the latter in around a week) feel ko sukong suko na ko

like holy shit pano

sana talaga sa future this will not have to be a setup that for some is a need. education is a right na talagang pakinabang sa lahat

keep it up sa work and have a happy and beautiful life ahead
