Green and Maroon

Hi there! How are you folks? :) It's been a while since I've visited Blogspot. Yeah. You can blame my school works and work schedule for that. Just like before, time and I are still not in good terms and I don't know the exact moment where we would be given the chance to reconcile.

I have a whole bunch of stuff to talk about, but since I only have a few minutes left before I go to my dreamland, I would share about my ex-school, The University of the Philippines Manila. Yes, EX. Since the "pseudo-semestral break" of my previous batch mates has started, that's the mark that says that I am officially out of the UP College Nursing.

It was during the last days of my second year in UPCN that I filed for a Leave of Absence (LOA) for the main reason of having a back-up plan just in case I cannot pursue my studies here in Canada. Education always comes first, as my parents would say. Fortunately, things go the way as I planned regarding my University studies. I passed the English Requirement Exam and I was able to submit my requirements just in time for the Fall term.

And as of this very moment, I am taking my Pre-Nursing courses with gusto. (Here, to be able to enter certain faculties like the Faculty of Nursing, one must take pre-requisite courses with outstanding marks for at least a year or two.) I am starting to love my current school, The University of Manitoba. The campus and the facilities are just awesome. :3

Don't get me wrong. I am not bragging these things. I just wanted to point out some things in here. I won't be in this current state without my first university. I am very thankful that I had the chance to experience two years of Nursing education the UPCN way. In spite of the hardships and burdens that UPCN has given me, I am still honoured to be called "Iskolar ng Bayan" even for a very short time. Every sleepless nights, tears and mood swings that I once had is all worth it. Believe me. :> I didn't realize these before because I was still in the system. Now that I am officially out of it, I would not regret the time that I chose UP instead of my full scholarship in Mapua. Add to that the amazing professors, awesome batchmates and true friends that I met while I was on that certain point of my life.

Wherever I am, I still have the UP pride in my heart.

The colours green and maroon will always run in my blood.

And no one can take that away - ever.

So long, UPCN. Thank you so much for a wonderful life-changing journey. I will never ever forget everything that you have taught me. I owe you a lot.
