note: reward yourself

Well, I so love today since I started the day so well. I got my grades and the thing which pumped me up so much was that I got a B in Accounting! Yeah, I know it's a B but Accounting is Accounting and the thin line between B and C+ dictates probation or no probation. So hallelujah I got a B since I won't be feeling the added pressure of having to always get a B. There's still that much needed breathing room and I thank God and the ever fantabulous and wonderful Dr. Ven Ibarra for that! May God always shower her with blessings! Well, I got a little disappointed with my Portuguese grade since it was the one I was most confident about that I'm going to ace it but no! B+ lang. Waah. But I just looked at it this way. It's better to have this scenario than having an A in Portuguese and a C+ in Accounting. Probe naman na ako nito noh. So it's really better to settle for the B+ and B scenario. Yay.

Oh my God you're so kaka. haha. I love you talaga! Iniwas mo ako na makakita ng ugly sight and you let me glimpse upon something I badly wanted. Even for just five seconds, I still tasted heaven. Haha. Grabe tumigil ang mundo ko at napatext agad kay Bamboy eh. Kaya nga I'd be a more artsy person this year eh. Diba Samboy? hehehe. As if that biatch reads this blog.

Well, after so much hulabaloo, we're going to Galera tomorrow since Monch and I don't have reg and Martin and Andrew don't have summer classes. Actually, we almost did not push through but we finally decided to go on with the plan and buy ourselves some time of relaxation. This is especially important for me since it serves as a reward for my grade and rest for the upcoming tumultuous JTA semester. Tama ba namang sabihin ni Brian that third and fourth years are easier except for three subjects. And coincidentally, those three subjects lang naman are part of my load for the next semester. So what does that mean for me? Patayan blues once again. Oh my, I want to work harder this time around so that the trip to France would be much more sweeter! After pain and suffering comes triumph and satisfaction nga diba?

Well, one lesson I might have learned over time is that you should reward yourself for a job well done from time to time. I mean even though the satisfaction you'd get seems very superficial and temporary, you're still giving yourself much needed glorification and rest. Rewarding yourself doesn't necessarily have to follow such a huge endeavor. It could be a simple test or chore or whatever. The important thing is that you give yourself some token of appreciation for getting over the things we need to tackle. Rewards keep us sane and keep us motivated. It aids us in going through the dizzying trials of life and keeps us ready for anything ahead. Of course, let us not let motivation strangle us so much that we're only doing things for the rewards they give. Ain't moderation the key?

So the next time you come from such harsh endeavors, don't forget to treat yourself to something that would satisfy your sole. You'll never know but if you keep on straining yourself, you might drain all of your energy and not enjoy the reward as much as you could've if you kept it at a more bearable pace.
