i don't lie, but i believe that TRUTH exists in different flavors; REALITY is for those who lack imagination.

Delaying Gratification

April 18, 2009

In one of my previous posts here, I said I am considering changing career. I took the ITTC exam last February, and fortunately, I passed it. I am qualified for enrollment to the full-time 1-year IT program of UP-ITTC. But unfortunately, the scholarship — the application for scholarship — won’t be available until the second quarter of the academic year. which means, I have to take the risk of enrolling and committing to at least 1-year, 100-K worth of full-time study. Hayyy…

I am a risk-taker , but I think this risk is too much for me to take. I have some other urgent and more important commitments to attend to at the moment and this additional one might be too much for me. (If only I can avail of those cash advance instruments they offer at a very, very low interest… or no interest at all.)

For now, I guess I’ll have to say no to this learning opportunity. But I am not giving this challenge a chance to stop me from learning something else. I already found a 7-part book series on computer systems, and believe it or not, it actually covers a large portion of the ITTC program. :-) So, who knows? I might be able to gain that knowledge on my own! Hehehe.

I admire your risk appetite on changing careers. But we really need to re-strategize when financials are at stake. Goodluck to finishing the 7-part book!

Wow! Cograts!
Hindi ba pwedeng mag enroll ka na lang kapag ok na yung scholarship? Sayang din kasi yun.

hindi e. full time kasi. and pre-requisite yung quarter 1 para sa quarter 2 subjects… :-( sayang talaga pare. pero di ko mai-risk. takot ako na may sumabit sa ibang responsibilities kasi.

hmmm… i guess there’s a pretty good reason why you cannot enroll yet. in any case, i think you’re so brilliant and talented that the incapacity to enroll right now wouldn’t mean a thing. hehe. :)

“I’m currently under apprenticeship at Skinworkz, Ricky Sta.Ana’s famed tattoo shop at Cartimar. I’ve inked four people so far, the last being Rogel, vocalist of Valley of Chrome. Check out the inverted star on his right shin the next time he’s playing at a bar near you. That’s my work! Mad props and undying gratitude to Davi, Jhoramones, Stephen and Rogel for entrusting your skin to the hands of a beginner. I’m very happy with the results though and so these four say they are, but we have to wait for the ink and realizations to set in before we can make any conclusions”

ekstranghero:

well, i guess they (yeah, the three of them) found something in me that they can’t forget… can’t resist. (nyahaha!)
