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.
Check out pages above my flying-kiss picture. I believe they're worth a click. :)

It was not your top priority firm to work at. Heck, it wasn’t even on your list when you were job hunting. Even worse, you didn’t know about it when you were studying. You might have heard it once or twice but it didn’t make an impact in your memory. Still, you pursued it anyway. Apparently, the firm you were prioritizing didn’t prioritize you in hiring.
Aside from it being not your first choice, the department you got into was as much of a setback. But seriously? Who thinks landing a job is a form of failure? Through faith and optimism, you threw all your worries and frustrations to trash and made the most out of everything. You acknowledged and widely stretched your patience in every challenge you met along the journey. You were never satisfied but you were happy, secured, and positive. Why? Simple! Because you know you were still on the right track despite all dissatisfaction. You learned things from experienced professionals that you wouldn’t from a fellow rookie. You witnessed actual people genuinely expanding their patience in understanding the inherent differences in human race.
Two years have passed. You have met people you never knew you would. Some of those people have already left. Some remained but for a certain period only.
Even if you still don’t feel that your full potential has come out and put into good use, you’re still there… waking up and doing your job because, apparently, there’s no other way around… just yet. Sometimes your values are put at stake in situations you would have known how to react to had you not been the person that’s actually into the situation. Sometimes your character is compromised due to seen but unwanted events.
But in spite of all these, I’m 100% definitely sure that… THE BEST IS YET TO COME. :)
Happy 2nd Anniversary! <3
P.S. That’s “2nd (year) in 1st (job).”
