oks naman. working and surviving

[feelingero]

after graduation i didnt work right away. nag-rest ako ng halos isang taon. lol. but it gave me time to really think things through and figure out what i really wanted to do. so the time i landed my first job, no regrets.

Ok naman. Gamit na gamit ko yung mga napag-aralan ko sa UP. Pero yun nga kulang na kaya kailangan bumalik sa UP.

Truly. Not to be bragging, pero I think the dilemma exists in most of UP students. In school you are exposed to a lot of different things which you realize you are actually good at. The benefits of choosing the job that would make you happy may sound cliche, but is true on so many levels.

Well, nakakamiss ang student life.
Nakakamiss na puro smart lagi mga nakakasalamuha ko

Yep. So true. And I think the work must at least be mentally stimulating.. mabo-bore ka kapag hindi.. which relates to..

Haha, I hope nobody that I work with ever reads this. I actually love my work pretty d*** much but there's that issue. :P

[cuteehcath]

nakaka-miss ang UP.

[Sarsa]

okay naman ang life.. gumugulong naman hehe.. napadpad sa IT work kahit from EEE ako... anyway... im planning to take masters degree sa UP or abroad soon... kung sa UP baka Tech management since IT naman na work ko ngayon..

[galing up]

owel ito ako abroad nagbubura ng kalawang..saklap pero ok lang naman kasi malaki kitaan kumpara dyan sa pinas...

[seeders21]

Ito tambay. Walang trabaho.

Hinde. Joke lang. Tumigil ako ng 1 year kasi di ako pinayagang pagsabayin ang med at pag-aaral sa board exam (na last September lang) dahil baka ma-toxic lang daw ako nang di oras. Kaya heto, nag-aapply sa med school. Although nag-try ako mag-apply ng trabaho at nakapasa naman pero tinurn down ko (kapal talaga. hahaha.) kasi malayo.

Pero ayun. Kahit saan, andoon pa rin yung 'Wow' factor kapag nalaman nila na taga-UP ka.

Hello! I don't know where to post this so patawarin niyo ako kung medyo OT.

I graduated in 2010. Entered UP in 2005, therefore I enjoyed (enjoyed talaga, lol) the 300 per unit tuition rate. I am currently a freshman law student at another school (somewhere in Manila, lol). School tells me I lack 3 units in Math, so I intend to enroll this summer in UP (I already pre-enlisted). My question is: I am covered by the new tuition rate or 300 per unit pa rin? and also, paano ang registration process nun? Sa Registrar ba muna punta ko or sa College ko? haha. 2 years since I graduated, medyo nakalimutan ko na ang proseso. Salamat

[xkcd]

Life's good after UP. Pero ito ang talagang nakakamiss

I would agree on this. Medyo nagmadali ako sa pagkuha ko ng first job after the board exams, only to find myself unhappy after three months. Yun nag-resign ako and moved to another job, which I find myself happier now.

Sometimes, one has to weigh between gaining prestige and doing what you really want. Anyway, okay naman ako after graduation. Maybe I'll take up my masters after a few years of work.
