This academic year, I promised that I would prepare for my academic comeback. I also have plans to juggle my career. They are better prepared since they won’t expect how much I prepared. I might be delusional, but I know I can make it happen. Last semester, I only got the second-highest exam peak among over 170 marketing students. I know that I should not make it as a big deal. But, I’m planning to get the highest peak even only once.

Surviving three hours of class is like surviving in three hours of war. Last Wednesday, I attended two subjects, the Student Success Program and Income Taxation for BA. The first class was not tiring since we only had one hour for self-assessment. However, on taxation, I feel like I will die. I’m just fighting my grogginess and focus for three hours. After I arrived home, I ate my lunch, browsed my social media, and managed my Notion account. Since I couldn’t fight my…

Since I was charging my laptop and already bored with my phone, I considered managing my budget. I calculated this after deducting my mom's loan and other expenses. I must also pay for my Spotify subscription and my mother’s share. She has a part of my allowance from my uncle since she’s bringing me home to transportation back and forth. By the way, I calculated my net allowance, and the result is P1,500 only. Since we have 15 days of classes this July, my allowance will be…

Did you know how to make me cry? This is what you should do. 1. Go on Spotify or other streaming platform. 2. Stream "You're On Your Own, Kid" by Taylor Swift. 3. Play it while I feel stressed, or my mind and heart are filled with gratitude. 4. I'll start to cry and start becoming motivated again to stay on track. Despite two years after its release, her song still touches my heart. The track progressed from innocence to maturity, and it seems like the song is dedicated to…

Let’s talk about music for this day. Last week, Sabrina just hit her first #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with Please, Please, Please. It is such a bop song. I always hear it whenever I come across various social media platforms. I'm not saying this as an avid listener of Taylor Swift, yet I think she is one of the reasons she hit the chart. She attended “The Eras Tour” as a guest and collaborated with Taylor’s producer. Of course, it’s not the only reason her song became…

A week ago, LISA released her first solo out of YG Entertainment, “Rockstar.” Here is my take on the MV, which I watched and listened to for the first time as an avid fan since 2019. PROS: - Cultural Appreciation - Voice and Rap Served - Highlighted Her Skin Tone - Not Trying Hard To Be Cute CONS: - The beat doesn’t serve right Overall, I would rate it at 9/10. I hope she will create a song that still highlights her cute personality. Her song would be huge if she did that.

While preparing for my reviewers for our last quiz, I decided to post it only on Instagram. In posting your “My Day” on IG, there’s an option for you to post them on your FB story as well. Yet, I made it available only on Instagram for peace of mind. I just don’t want to see my classmates see that I’m preparing for a quiz. Then, they will ask how much my reviewer is, and I find it very awkward. I don’t want them to see that I’m preparing and face them with a big surprise.
@kingofreview
This is what my typical week looks like. Note that it can vary depending on other circumstances. I write short posts and participate in different earn challenges for at least 4 hours. I read and annotate self-help books for at least 2 hours. I am filming and editing my TikTok affiliate account for at least 12 hours. I study during flexible learning for at least 27.5 hours. I study at home during school days for at least 10 hours. I attend school (plus commute and…

Let me just share this here. Since college, I started to become obsessed with drinking coffee. My average intake is at least 2 cups daily in a big mug. My friends know that, and even my groupmates realize it as well. If I have spare money, I will go to a local retailer to order iced coffee and start doing our research. They’ve always been asking if I still manage to sleep. For instance, I am still trying to make our mini-thesis presentable from 1 AM until 3 AM. If I can…

If you remember correctly, I stated that I did a series of marathons during our three months of vacation. It’s already our third week of classes, so I can’t already continue what I started. By the way, I checked my Loklok account to see how many series I have watched. Surprisingly, I have watched eight series and one tour film. I want to resubscribe again in Loklok. The only problem that I need to encounter is the limited time.
@kingofreview
I like different underrated artists from the past has been trying to make a breakthrough this 2024. Sabrina Carpenter released back-to-back hits after her 5th studio album. BINI finally got the attention that they deserved after debuting during the pandemic. After ten years in the music scene, Chappel Roan finally got her midnight success. Tinashe got her moment in TikTok with her song “Nasty” after being underappreciated. They are just a testament that we should not give up…

I don’t like three hours of vacant classes. It influences me to buy different foods in the canteen when bored. Talking with your friends is not enough to supply those hours! It’s been our fourth week of classes, and three hours of classes per subject makes me sleepy. Even if your professor is teaching you lively, it would be nonsense if the subject is boring. Imagine forcing yourself to listen to different complex topics for about three hours
@kingofreview
Last week, our group finished proposing 11 different titles for our feasibility study. Creating feasible business ideas and brainstorming where we will establish them is hard. For example, the first business idea that I thought of establishing was a mall in Science City of Munoz. Our professor believed that it was not feasible even let’s assume that we are not going to make it. The first title he approved is the coin counter machine in a mall in San Jose. The only constraint…
@kingofreview
This is just a continuation of my post yesterday. As I mentioned, we proposed 11 titles for our upcoming thesis study. Although it was against my will, I traveled from home to school to check ten products my groupmates suggested. My professor removed all the foods except for our first approved food business idea. He doesn’t like the rest because he found them unfeasible due to the required capital. For example, the piggery business is a good suggestion. Yet, we must consider…
@kingofreview
This is the last post about our thesis/feasibility study. In this short post, I will share the finalized titles. In my previous post, I stated that he approved 2 of 11 product suggestions. My professor didn’t permit me to leave home with my other classmates, yet I could still complete 5 title proposals. Here are those titles. ✅ Feasibility Study of Moringa (Malunggay) Lip Balm in San Jose, Nueva Ecija ✅ Feasibility Study of Banana Bacon Strips in San Jose, Nueva Ecija ✅…

Last week, "Pantropiko" hit 100M streams on Spotify, making them the first P-POP group in history. With this milestone, we can officially recognize BINI as a mainstream artist in the Philippines! Let's do this amount of streams again with their other hit, "Salamin, Salamin." I'm so happy that P-POP songs have been recognized more like 2015. It was the year when the love team of James Reid and Nadine Lustre was at its peak. For the past few years, I haven't understood why…
@kingofreview
If you are scrolling on Facebook, I think you already know the issue of BINI. Maloi was uncomfortable since many people had attempted to take a picture of her in a restaurant. Meanwhile, Aiah was disturbed in a hotel at 1 AM just to ask her if she was willing to capture her. I don’t get why Filipinos don’t know the word “privacy.” Yep, they are already widespread across the Philippines. Thanks to their dedication and consistency. Weirdly, many people have been normalizing it…

Even though there have been times I feel stressed with my academics, I’m still happy that I have classes. Here’s why: - I’m not overthinking about my income. - I feel contented with my side hustles. - It’s already clear to me why I didn’t get a part-time job. It’s only two years left and I’m already graduating. This year is the hardest, though. In the following weeks, I already foresee my zombie self.
@kingofreview
I am so happy with my sales this week. Note that I was able to do that without any posting. Maybe this is the time I should be more active, though. I already knew the most profitable niche based on self-assessment. You will just know about it once you see me in your FYP!
@kingofreview
Did you know what’s the most horrifying thing that you can experience as a student? That is getting only one mistake and that mistake is the easiest. Bruh, I feel like I’m going to die. By the way, I don't know why transferring BCH on my Coins account feels like ages. I withdrew it yesterday and it still didn't arrive.
@kingofreview
Last week, I tried to answer my test on Quizlet. My routine usually is making flashcards and using their “Test” premium feature to test my knowledge. Surprisingly, I made more than 30 mistakes out of 90 questions, haha. I don't know if I lack prioritization management or if I am just stupid. Fortunately, my time management skills are pretty impressive. I was able to correct my mistakes and cope with the topics I struggled with. I will share the result with you in my next…
@kingofreview
Let me share my "almost perfect" moment related to academics. This is the continuation of my post yesterday. Last week, we had our first quiz on one of our major subjects. The identification part comprises fifteen questions. Fortunately, I answered it correctly. Not until… In the enumeration section, the first question was worth 2 points each, and the second question was worth 1 point each. For the latter, you get an additional 3 points if all answers are correct according…

There are changes again in our schedule. Instead of 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM on Monday, they changed it from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Our teacher on Operation Management moved our schedule to transfer his loadings. He’s already handling several major subjects (that’s why). Instead of taking that subject on Tuesday from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM, he altered it from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM for Monday. Therefore, we only need to take one major subject on Tuesday. Yet, I decided to use that…

The thesis is already waving at our hands. As the group leader, I plan to conduct our thesis or feasibility study two times a week. We will conduct it face-to-face in my groupmates' houses. The leaders of the other two groups will only distribute their parts through Messenger and attach them as they are. However, based on my experience, making that decision became my worst nightmare. Their answers are always distant from the main idea (#google). Aside from that, when we were…

Last week, I woke up at 5 AM to attend our church's mid-year Thanksgiving at 6 AM. I requested it be 10 AM since I’m not a morning person. Yet, my mother wanted to attend early to avoid the heat wave at 9 AM. That’s why I only had less than six hours during that day. Anyway, that’s already a long sleep, considering that I usually sleep at 12 AM. I drank two cups of coffee to keep myself awake since I needed to review our two significant subjects.
@kingofreview
Juggling side hustles and academics can be challenging. Many things didn’t go well, yet many opportunities are open for me. I must keep going as long as I see progress in my earnings.
@kingofreview
One of the lessons that I learned last week is to trust your gut. I feel so stupid not reading the diagram only because I thought our professor didn’t teach it. Just imagine what my scores would be if I could memorize it. I would get a high score since there is a bonus question. I felt so many regrets in my brain that I became so insecure. Damn!
@kingofreview
I’m skeptical about buying a money catcher ring and an evil eye bracelet. A money catcher ring is believed to bring abundant cash flows, especially if you wear it on your middle finger. Meanwhile, an evil eye bracelet is believed that it can prevent any bad luck from those envious people around you. After careful consideration, I decided to buy a money catcher ring only since evil eye bracelets are more sacred.
@kingofreview
I think I'm almost prepared for our quiz. Yet, I'm not confident because I seldom interchange the details. Will take this quiz for tomorrow For example: You are an individual taxpayer. If you receive your cash dividend from a domestic corporation, your tax rate will be 10%. If you receive it from a foreign corporation, your tax rate will be based on the Regular Income Tax. Other transactions must also be taken into consideration. Another example. You are an employee, and you…
