CPA Bum
Hi! I’m Mia Dagal. Twenty-four years old (at least still for the next 14 days) and living in Cavite. Filipino by heart, by mind, and by fact (not physically though, ‘cos I’ve always been mistaken as a Chinese). I’m an Assumptionist. CPA since October 2009. I work as an Auditor in Makati, I’ve been to Internal and now exploring External. Photography Enthusiast. Aspiring Runner.

While I still have 25 kilometers (what a coincidence) ahead of me before reaching home, my BlackBerry is charged, I’m on BBMAX, plus consider the heavy traffic anticipation, I’m going to maximize my time by posting a gratitude entry.
I turned 25 years old for about a week and a day ago. It didn’t turn out as I would want to, like maybe all fireworks and meeting Damon Salvatore but it was still something worth remembering. I conditioned my heart and mind to be positive and worry-free. Fortunately, I succeed in spending wisely (mentally, physically, spiritually, socially, professionally) my only SILVER day in life.
With all that being said, let me say at least 25 thank-yous.
1. For everyone who greeted me on facebook,. I know it was posted but still, the effort and time typing (or for some, copy-pasting) the words mean so much already,
2. Tweeted me,
3. Commented on my instagram photos,
4. Sent me an SMS,
5. Called me the moment they remembered or when someone informed them or when they learned about it,
6. BBM-ed me,
7. Emailed me,
8. Greeted me in private,
9. Greeted me in public,
10. Bought me cakes,
11. Sang over the phone,
12. Sang in person,
13. Gave me a card,
14. Left me gift certificates,
15. Greeted me many times,
16. Those who are not on facebook, or I’m not friends with on social networks but still knew my birthday,
17. Wished me love life,
18. Wished me good health,
19. Wished me happiness,
20. Waited and spent the night with me with a drink or two,
21. Waited for me in the wee hours and still gave me a bottle to drink,
22. For those who waited and fell asleep,
23. Who gave me presents,
24. Those who forgot and still greeted me,
25. And last but never the least, thank You Lord for giving me my 25th year of existence. I am still not an expert in life, though. But I guess, nobody is yet.
It’s been a tough road and I know it’s not yet over. I wish to survive however.
PS: I’m home. So much better travel time than last night. Happy weekends!
Two and a half decades. So this is quarter life.
Now I realize, we say “welcome to the real world” too often. Life seems to offer a lot of different stages of “reality.”
Wow. 25. Twenty-five. What happened in my 25 years of existence? Have I done something? Anything? Or nothing?
Right at this moment, I can only think of wishing myself a peaceful mind and heart. It’s become difficult to attain at this age with this kind of profession and environment.
At the end of the day though, I still feel blessed and grateful for having my family and friends with me. I consider it one way of God telling and showing me how much He truly loves me. I’ll forever be thankful. I’m nothing without Him.
Good mornight! Xoxo.
After 13 years of spending the day continents apart, we finally celebrated it together again! I’m happy we were able to make it happen even when planned for a very limited time. I rushed to buy a cake from Conti’s in Greenbelt after work. Then walked quickly along Paseo then underpass to reach Ayala Triangle. Whew! I was about to throw up cos, before I left the office, I forced myself to finish my cup of coffee! Didn’t know the effect ‘til then. So anyway, we ate at Kanin Club (thanks for my officemates for this suggestion). I know my parents love Filipino cuisine so I chose this. But of course, I consulted my siblings! Hehe!
I’ll share pictures next time. I’m only using my iPod to update you guys of what happened today. :)
By the way, tomorrow (19) is my 2nd anniversary of passing the board. Woot! I can still remember the day so vividly. I know God made some MAGIC to pass me! It was impossible to achieve! Seriously! Thank You Lord endlessly. :)
My sister @readagal’s birthday yesterday and she prepared all these. Grabe, super duper yummy! Taste just like that of Italianni’s. I swear! And with my knowledge about that resto, I can assume that it would approximately cost P600 per plate!!! Haha.
After eating this meal, I went up to my bedroom and found myself sleeping with all my heart. Chos. Haha. I was so full and so satisfied. I so love the salad, fries, bread and pesto! Woot! Sana bukas ulit! :D
Oh, I suddenly remember (while browsing my previous entries) that I have not yet blogged about my birthday, which happened a month ago. =D
24 @ 24. What I gave myself this year is something that will last a lifetime. And I’m not saying anything more to that. Hehe. :)
So… Hmm.. Let me recall…
Today, my family celebrated my brother’s birthday. It’s actually on Tuesday but since it’s a weekday, my parents decided to lunch it out in advance. We ate at Congo Grille and had desserts at T.G.I.Friday’s!
