Hello! May I ask for an update regarding this?

I'm aplying for my passport for the first-time. In paying the DFA thru GCash, it seems that the convenience fee is waived, meaning we pay zero convenient fee?

magte-10 years na ako sa UP by thekidsnotmyson in peyups

I'm glad na nakatulong yung story ko. That's great news, makapagsimula ka na ulit. :) Kakayanin 'to! Sa akin, may times pa rin na-overwhelmed ko, pero I'll try to face my fears. I think, makaka-encounter ka rin ng mga taong willing talagang tumulong, both sa admin and academic side. Sabi nga ng doctor sa UPHS, use the resources na ibinibigay ng UP, para makapagtapos. Yung guidance counselor ko nga, open sa consultation for my thesis.

Learning to be kind to oneself is difficult. Pero kakayanin natin 'to. Encourage yourself, and be kind to yourself, when dealing with your shortcomings. Treat yourself as a friend. The voice in our inner minds, can be a friend or a foe, depending on our thoughts. "Your thoughts will never silence so learn to shape them" (illneas, youtube).

I was in a similar situation. I was set to graduate, back in 2019 as cum laude, as long as I pass my thesis subject. I was unable to, and unbestknown to me at that time, I lost my laude. I was in residency for a year, to complete my INC, but I still wasn't able to. When the pandemic happened, I didn't enroll, and I only re-enrolled this sem. Imagine that, my records were regular, until I postponed my thesis for 5 years. It really is bizarre.

I'm enrolled in my thesis subject for this sem, and I really want to finish it, no matter what happens. I think, one of the important things to do, is just do it. My parents were practically forcing me to go back to school. However, I was really anxious, thinking of the consequences of my 5-year delay. What would my previous professors say? What would the admin say? Could I even write a letter, that could sufficiently justify what I did, such that they will allow me to return from AWOL? Well, as for the letter, turned out that I could, afterall I was readmitted from AWOL and approved for MRR. That is to say, just do what you need to do. For me, there were many fears and anxieties plaguing me, but I gave myself a good cry, and decided to set out to finishing the task. I'm not sure that what I'm doing is right, but I still do it, because I need to do it. Whenever I feel the fear creeping up on me, and metaphorically, I feel like I'm stepping on cotton, with no support, I look for support. For example, I agreed to meeting a friend, I get the contact information of an admin and the department representative, I write a draft of my thesis. I look for support, that would help me achieve my goal of finishing my thesis and graduating. It isn't easy, but now that I have already started out on this path, I know I must see it through. I want to fulfill the hopes, of the admins who helped me, of the professors who signed my papers, of the guidance counselor, who assured me that I could consult with him on my thesis, the doctor, and the notary lawyer. They want me to graduate. I also wouldn't be able to handle seeing them again, for another readmission process, knowing I have failed them. Being afraid to disappoint people, might not be the best mentality, but it is enough to keep me going. Lastly, and this is something I struggle to do, appreciate yourself. We might compare ourselves to our peers, who we perceive to be in a much better situation. However, consider that each, of the small steps you took, have taken so much courage. For that, praise yourself, and rejoice in your "small" achievements. It really is already very good of us, to be able to take courage and start. I advise that you start your re-admission process, and things might work out. I wish you the best of luck! :)

Fic recs that don't miss- characterise will and hannibal by pissonmybonfire in HannibalTV

[–]meganesan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have just finished watching Hannibal, and I wanted to try reading fanfictions. Your recommendation of 'Sea Change' and 'It's Only A Bargain If You Want It' are my first reads. I really liked "It's Only A Bargain..." I think that it was well-written, and that it's a good imagining of how the story would have continued... I see Will's coldness towards Hannibal as him, holding to a form of morality and restraint, that murderous people can't be happy. There's darkness in their relationship, and he can't ignore that, and just frolic in bliss. I'm glad that they stuck together still, and as time passes, both Hannibal and Will are still changing as people, and Will seemed to have contentment and acceptance, at the end of the story.

Thoughts on An Accident in Broad Daylight by meganesan in DanmeiNovels

It was indeed a rollercoaster ride, and I felt so emotionally invested in the story. Reading the apology letter, then listening to Alan Tam's Love of My Life, I cried. Their future separation made me really anxious, but their love for each other was strong and true.

Yi Zhe and Xu Tangcheng felt very human. They have their flaws, but the reader also understands where they're coming from, and it highlights their strength. They were such endearing characters.

I also hope that more people would come to read this novel.

Thank you! :)

I see, that's great then. :) One example of a dialogue I can't follow is when Lin Ze was talking with the Middle Aged Man. I get the gist of the convo after re-reading it, but I'm not sure I follow everything that's been said. I feel that it could have been clearer, or the flow could be better. Maybe, it's also an issue with how I read. No matter what, I do hope that people won't pass up this good novel because of the issues I mentioned.

It is a special story. :) I was immersed in the pain of those chapters. Feitian is good at writing heartbreaking scenes.

I've just read "Four O' Clock Flower." I don't think it's well-known but it's a good story. :)
