Shoutout!

It's like FB. What's on your mind? Me and my best bud went wandering all over the University staring at those Christmas decors and stalls right after our class on Shariah, Public Corporation and Tax.1. The crazy girls that we are, we took out our ballpens and signed on this cutesy wall were there were colored papers plastered on it with written wishes and stuffs like that. I've even read there a note saying "Sana magkaroon na ako ng lovelife" (I hope I'll have my own lovelife soon) Haha! What a nice wishlist. We too have written something in it, wishing soon enough those wishes shall be granted in God's grace. Hopefully.♥ =) 

Missed teh fun!

Aaah.. I've really wanted to join today's judicial run but sadly they ran out of jersey's. It would have been perfect matched with my violet sneakers too. Not only was I bummed with the thought of not helping donate a few bucks but it would have been great that I attended since I loved the jersey design and I've had most of my colleagues at school attended this event and even my professors at law school as well as my fraternal brothers and sisters too. Sigh! Truly, I missed the fun. It would have been my first official experience on a running marathon. I did not lose carbs for not attending this judicial run. Oh well, there's always next times. I hope by next year I could attend some other fun run in Iligan City. Instead of feeling remorseful, I better read my book on Shariah 4 and Taxation. Gotta be at school before 1pm. Hoping for a Sunny Day! :)

Last Day Fashion at School

Cheers to the freakin' weekend indeed. Haha! I can smell the holidays and I do believe that today would be the last day of school. So to make the best out of it, I have spiced up the day with a lil bit sultryness in my style of dressing. ;) So take a look at this. The typical fashion for law students like me and take note, ukay2x po yan lahat. You might be surprised sa price. Hehe. As in shocking, it only cost me 130 bucks. How cool is that? Check it out.

Coat from MAX & Co. & the flirty laced dress from STORY made in Korea.

;)

This fluffy shoes is from Duple and found it in the Ukay2x for a reasonable price. Me gusta ;)

So here it is when dressed. I've be smokin' in my class and my students would be like "Woo!" Hehe. It'll be the first time that they'll see me so formal. Let's see who is gonna be stoked for today. Xoxo.
 Haha!

Rainmaker

It's been two years and I am thankful to have survived law school up to this very day. It is true that the life of a law student is definitely likened to that of a walk in the park but a JURASSIC PARK at that! You have to face not just reading piles of law books and cases but you also need to deal with notorious professors grinding you for three hours a day or perhaps 18 hours a week with questions of law as if you have already read the entire book. And what I mean about being questioned not in a polite way but more like interrogating you and putting you in the spotlight of shame if you will not be able to suffice their questions. They might laugh at you, ridicule you, shout at you or mentally and emotionally torture you in front of the entire class. 

Now if you are full of pride and half-hearted to start or even continue law school then, I suggest you stop and deliberately think about it over and over again if you wish to finish law school and how much are you willing to sacrifice to achieve that elite status of becoming a lawyer in the immediate future.

I have been in the crossroads but I never thought of wanting to stop studying law. Maybe I'll rest for one year but I will definitely be back to finish what I've started. That is the type of person I am. When I commit, I finish it until I get it. And until I become the best, I will never be satisfied not until I become a lawyer myself. Quite ambitious of me but this is how I want my attitude to be. Being confident but humble at the same time makes me feel so driven to reach for that ultimate goal soon. Here in law school, you learn to develop a thick face and in the process be emotionally stable if you really believe that you will soon become victorious in this regard.

Sometimes when my brain is quite crowded with too much provisions of the law, I sometimes sing a lot or play my piano or even update my blog. These are just some of the things that makes me oblivious for awhile of the things I do at law school. 

Right now, I am mastering to memorize sections from the negotiable instruments law. So far I am doing good with my speed, memory and review. 

Although I am not a full time student but I make it a point to read the book every chance I get. I was actually disappointed last time's oral recitation on secured transaction because I wasn't able to read and memorize the provisions by heart that's why I said "pass" for now but I will have my revenge soon. Muhaha! So now I am up 2:25AM ain't sleepy and shall be reading the book on Nego once I am done with this update from my blog. Here's my face or the usual me every study session I could get at dawn since I am a crazy insomniac:

Oh well, being a law student, a teacher and an officer of the student council is quite a challenge. You mix your life with politics and if you are not that good in budgeting your time you might be slumped low on your studies and that is not good at all. I have my fears and disappointments entering school politics but I know it is natural that you make enemies too in law school. It is true that as an officer the constituents particularly your detractors only see the bad deeds you've done and will never try to commend what good works you have accomplished. Like I said, I have never been into politics before and although I have despised some people that I consider good friends before but I never thought they'd be the ones to destroy me. Spreading rumors that were never in fact true in the first place definitely broke my heart.They have toyed me with the idea that I am this bad and that worst of a person. 

But I am still thankful to Jesus that I have experienced this for once in my life because I believe that through this I would know who among the people have treated me well and isn't pretending to be my friend. I may be a rookie in the SLSC but I have never pretended and have done my job honestly being the treasurer of the College of Law. 

John Grisham was right when he wrote in his book entitled "The Rainmaker" that: 

You make enemies in law school. The competition can be vicious. People learn how to cheat and backstab; it's training for the real world.

But I try not to hate people who I know have been two-faced when merely talking to me. It has indeed challenged me from the very first day I took an oath of being an SLSC officer. Patience, commitment and passion are just some of the values I have learned in the process. May this help me make it through finishing law school and finally take the bar exam then successfully pass it. May God bless me more :)

Out of the old and in for the new :)

I've been spring cleaning my room or the entire house today to make way for a bigger space more particularly in my study room. Maybe because it's the end of the year 2011 and I am about to jump start another challenging year ahead. Or is it because since it's the rainy season and it is time for mosquitoes to procreate. Damn! I really need to get rid of some stuffs because I've had quite a number of mosquito bites already. Not good to look at and definitely alarming for my health since I've had a history on dengue fever. 

So in order for me to keep myself busy & healthy, I've decided to choose which of my things are of no use to me or that I just used once or twice and never planned of using it again. I must get rid of these things for it has also become the looming place for these freakin' mosquitoes. Argh! Thus, I have to distinctly choose which of my oh-so-piled-up-like-a-mountain of dresses, shoes, bags, etc. shall be thrown out of my closet so that I'll have these things lined up for a garage sale. 

In the Pinoy dialect, we call the act of starting a garage sale as "ukay-ukay". It's pretty rampant here in my place and I've used my creativeness so as to clean the entire room and sell it to get some cold cash and buy more sensible things especially so that it'll my Dad's 77th birthday and I've got tons of gifts to buy for my family and for the upcoming exchanging gift at law school on our Christmas party this weekend. Not to mention the year end party also with my MKP family. Hehe.

Feast your eyes on the few pictures I took. This is the opening day of my "ukay-ukay" and I thought it would be better if I called up my sister and do place her collection of wedding dresses, Filipiniana's, Barong Tagalog, Cocktail Dresses, and Toga's too since she has a business for renting the latter. Of course, I'll get a few percentage too. Haha! So here I am again, the business-oriented me.. :))

And of course, don't forget to include my ever-loyal bodyguard on duty.. tadaaaaaaaan!!

Introducing one of my two pet dogs but in a chain coz he might bite my customers. He's not too friendly to people he hasn't encountered quite a few times. Oh, say hi to Beckham! Haha. The other dog who is also my love other than Beckham is way cuter than the latter. Becks is purely askal while the other one, Alejandro is quite a mestizo. I dunno what breed of dog Ale is but he's really cute and very malambing. I have two male dogs who are my buddies at home. I named them after famous personalities, of course, David Beckham my fave soccer player and Alejandro from Boyce Avenue who is my favorite musician among the Manzano brothers Daniel and Fabian. Hehe. 

Well, everything went fine and I had garnered quite a few bucks in this unplanned business. LOL! Until tomorrow then. Tata! :)

Bikini & Blue Martini

Surprised to have seen new sets of nail polish from our suki na manicurista na si Ate Zabeth. Gone through her collection and I thought of trying neon colors for this month on my nails. I was brave enough to attempt flashy colors on my nails for it would look quite overwhelming but after seeing the output I realized "Bikini & Blue Martini's" are not bad at all. Check this one out: ;)

Tatay's 2nd Year Death Anniversary

Today holds a celebration for my dad since this is the second year I remembered how God took him from us. I don't really understand even up to now why we have to celebrate his death anniversary. I do not understand the logic why we celebrate the loss of someone dear to our hearts. It seems like there is a certain quaintness to that thought alone.  I would always mourn for for his death and remembered what heartache I experienced every December first at 6:15pm. 

I asked my mom why we had to celebrate it and she said it's one way of remembering Dad every December. It's in every Christian tradition practiced for years so that those loved ones who passed away will be happy that they have been remembered even after their death. 

To my Dad, no one knows where you are but I believe you are now safe in the palace of Jesus Christ. To me and the people who loved you especially your family, we missed you so much. You have been a very loving, responsible partner to mom and a dependable father of eight. You are the sweetest and the one whom the family should be thankful for, for if not for you, mom and the rest of the family won't be here on earth and finished studying. If you haven't been strict to us when it comes to boys, courtship and some other stuffs, we would have married earlier on and face a great ordeal of problems brought about by early teenage pregnancy or those sorts of stuffs. We are thankful for the upbringing you and Mom did for your children. Given that you had eight children is truly tough on the part of the parent financially. Thus, we are proud that you are our father! Love you Tay. I missed you so much.. <3 :)
