Perfect time

Have you ever wanted something so bad? Did you strive really hard for it? I know you did. We all know we got to make things happen. BUT what happens if you did everything in your power and something came up that hindered you from getting what your heart yearns for? 

Frustration. That's what happens.

As I have probaby mentioned in my posts before, I was taking some Masteral classes on Librarianship (Yes, we do have to study to be a Librarian and yes, there's a course on Librarianship). I have everything planned out : 2 years to get the degree, I'll take 9 units of Reading Education classes for electives. Then, I would just need 9 more units (1 semester) to get a teaching certification.

Juggling work, studies and a little bit of social life isn't very easy to do. Unless  you have Hermione's timeturner, which will make time travel possible.

But I don't have it, so I had to attend classes three times a week (after an 8-hour job) for the past months. I thought, after this semester, I'd only have 1.5 years left. But things change. I've checked UP Open University's page about the Professional Teaching Certificate earlier today. I literally froze on my seat while staring at the newly revised curriculum. None of the electives I have taken were on the list. Now I have to rethink everything that I have planned for the next two years. You might think that I am overreacting, that it's just another six months, that it's not a big deal. But you must understand that I am not a patient one. I am really not good at waiting. That's why I work hard. Because I wanna speed things up.

But I guess no matter how hard we try, we can't defy what was planned for us. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying we should stop striving. That we should just sit and wait for His plans to unfold. We should still do our best, everything that we can, but He will give it to us in His time. The perfect time.

#achieved!

It may not seem like I am working on my list because most of my posts lately are actually non-related to the "before I turn 25" title, but I really am. Here's my progress report:

The top news is that I am soon going to scratch  Take a yoga/pilates class off the list! I bought some vouchers from a group buying site last month and I am taking some pilates classes.  

I have previous knowledge on Pilates but that was 7 years ago, during my first sem, freshman year in college. I thought I needed some reviewing to do so I downloaded some Pilates videos from Youtube. I have been working out here at home for two weeks now.

The instructor in the videos I have downloaded is funny and inspiring. Meet the awesome Cassey Ho :

The pilates workouts are really challenging, but she makes it so fun with her non-stop talking and the pop music, you'll just keep on doing them. It also helps that her videos are (mostly) just 10mins. long, so it's so easy to include working out in my daily schedule.

I discovered her videos in Youtube, but if you want to try them out yourself (please consult a doctor first before trying any workouts), I suggest you go to her blog. Let me know what you think, okay? :)

Second,  I have booked a flight to Laoag on January so Vigan will also happen very soon! If you have been there tips would  be greatly appreciated...

And finally,  I am finishing my first semester for MA. Just one more project to go. And yes, I actually have to go to a group meeting for that project.  Like now.

So there, I am really thrilled that everything's going well on my end. I hope you're doing great too, and of course, I would love to hear what you've achieved on your goals lately!

P.S. A dear friend of mine had just started a blog. He is a terrific writer, which he doesn't realize. If you've got some spare time, please visit his blog and give him some love. 

Thanks and have a lovely weekend!
