Passed-Wait listed-Failed

After several months of waiting for the results of my college entrance exams, finally, the results are all out! I only took three entrance exams namely UPCAT, USTET, and MSAE. It's just so ironic that the very last test I took was the first one who posted the results and the very first one (which is UPCAT) was the last to post the results. So here's what happened: 

Mapua Institue of Technology: Passed

 Even though I passed, I don't think that I would want to study here. Studying in Mapua is like letting yourself be eaten by wild tigers. Even though the tigers look cuddly and all that, they can still eat you in just one sitting. That's torture. And that's how I'm gonna describe studying in Mapua. I'm not even exaggerating. Err maybe a little haha

University of Santo Tomas: Wait listed

Well this disappointed me too much. The day that the results were out in UST, I immediately texted my sister to ask her former blockmates to go and check if I passed or not. I was really having high hopes of passing (and by I mean passing, I mean you have sure slots and all that) and this is what I get. But then again, I thought that some people are dying to be even wait listed in UST so I'm still thankful for what I got! Now  I just have to wake up VERY VERY VERY early on the 25th to reserve a slot. 

The only dilemma that I have now is whether to continue on my Architecture dreams or that of Journalism. Anyhoo, wish me luck!   

University of the Philippines: Failed

I wasn't really rooting for my passing because:

1.) I don't really want to study there.

2.) It's UP for Christ's sake!

3.) I can't handle anymore pressure from the smart people around me haha

But hey, look at Perilla, Frances Stephanie Llanes!! My surname is Petilla and it's so funny seeing a person's surname that almost looked like mine. Haha! 

I'm planning to take an entrance test in Lyceum of the Philippines University--Manila so I would have a fallback in case I fail to reserve a slot in UST. But I really do hope to study in UST because I don't want to study anywhere else!!!

Congratulations to all those who passed, who were wait listed, and even for those who failed. As they always say, these four major universities - UP, UST, DLSU, and ADMU - aren't the only schools in the Philippines. Sure, these schools are great, but no school can really assure how successful you will be in the future because it is YOU who will determine if you'll be successful or not. Your future is in your hands! Hahaha. All you have to do is study hard and work hard.

Ten years from now... you'll see. :)

Tiring weekend

Here's one of the many tiring weekends I'm going to have this year. I just took up Mapua Scholastic Aptitude Exam or more commonly called as MSAE this morning till afternoon then went straight to Tagaytay for my sister's birthday dinner! 

MSAE was actually pretty easy... and hard. 

Let me start off with the skills test. It actually started off pretty easy with the abstract reasoning shit.. and days before the test I have been browsing over the Internet of what might be some of the things we might actually draw during the test and I found this: 

[JSWC, this photo's NOT mine]

I don't know how this blogger took a photo of his/her test paper but yeah.. This is the second part of our skills test next to abstract reasoning. This is the photo that I've been using to practice for my test in Mapua and it sure did help me because what came out of the test was exactly the same! Don't be deceived by that lady in that picture, though, she's so small in the real test paper. I thought she was tall.. shit. The part two of the test involved us drawing the plant shown in the front and it was really challenging because of the pot. Or whatever. I hate that pot. Overall, my drawing was okay. I think it can be recognized as a plant. (That's what I think! But what will the Architecture department think? Huhuhu)

After lunch, the part two of the MSAE begun. We had two hours and 40 minutes to finish English, Math, and  what do they call the last part again? All I know is that most of them were about Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Critical Thinking. They had 90 items for English, and 45 each for the remaining two. I only found Math hard because I really didn't feel like studying days before the test. Before taking UPCAT and USTET, I studied Trigonometry (like functions!) and Statistics (permutation, combination stuff) very well and ironically, questions with those topics hadn't come out much for the first two tests I took so I was expecting less of those in the MSAE. Turned out, they had so many questions with those topics! That sucks because I was recalling my UPLink days with the Permutation and Combination stuff and I just can't seem to recall any. So I usually used shotgun method or cross-out method. Yep. 

After taking the test, Katherine, her cousin, and I immediately went home. Traffic in Cavite worsens as time goes by, you guys, and I hate it. I waited for my mom to pick me up outside our village because we'll be celebrating my sister's birthday in Tagaytay! So yep they picked me up then on the way going to Tagaytay, I told them stories about my MSAE experience like how the proctors are not strict at all and how we can actually use cellphones while taking the test and some other stuff.

Then we arrived at Pamana! I knowww I've blogged about this before but it's my family's favorite restaurant!  

P.S. Vacation's almost over! Aww :(

P.P.S. Notice the new layout? Hihi :>
