Pussycat Dolls

Oooooh ooooh
I never needed you to be strong
I never needed you for pointin' out my wrongs
i never needed pain,i never needed strenght
My love for you was strong enough you should've known.
I never needed you for judgement
I never needed you to question what i spent
I never ask for help, I take care of myself, I don't know why you think you got a hold on me.
And it's a little late for conversations
There isn't anything that you can do.
And my eyes hurt, hands shiver, so look at me , listen to me because,

I don't want to
Stay another minute
I don't want you
To say a single word
Hush Hush, Hush Hush
There is no other way
I get the final say
Because
I don't want to
Do this any longer
I don't want you
There's nothing left to say
Hush Hush, Hush Hush
I've already spoken
Our love is broken
Baby Hush Hush

I never needed your corrections
On everything from how i act to what i say
i never needed words, i never needed hurt, i never needed you to be there everyday
I'm sorry for the way i let go
Of everything i wanted when you came along
But i am never beaten, broken, not defeated
I know next to you is not where i belong
And it's a little late for explanations
There isn't anything that you can do
And my eyes hurt, hands shiver, so you will listen when i say baby

I don't want to
Stay another minute
I don't want you
To say a single word
Hush Hush, Hush Hush
There is no other way
I get the final say
Because
I don't want to
Do this any longer
I don't want you
There's nothing left to say
Hush Hush, Hush Hush
I've already spoken
Our love is broken
Baby Hush Hush

No more words
No more lies
No more crying ooh ooh
No more pain
No more hurt
No more tryin' Oh Oh Yeah
Because

I don't want to
Stay another minute
I don't want you
To say a single word
Hush Hush, Hush Hush
There is no other way
I get the final say
Because
I don't want to
Do this any longer
I don't want you
There's nothing left to say
Hush Hush, Hush Hush
I've already spoken
Our love is broken
Baby Hush Hush

study tips

I will be adding another feature in my so called sister blog Atty. Khun Wa Reh, which is tips on how to survive law school.

Please do check out the blog!!!

Atty. khun wa reh

Finally, I already created a new blog! This new blog will not replace this blog, it will just be a sister blog where I can post some digested cases that we tackled in class! I'm not the only person who digested the said cases but surely I will also include the names of the people who used there precious time writing those digests!

I really do hope that the blog will provide information to my avid readers specially to those law students who definitely need it.

To everyone,

Please check out my other blog:

4th - 6th

I already attended the 4th - 6th midnight mass in Cavite!

3 MORE DAYS TO GO!!!

2nd and 3rd

I'm very proud to say that I attended the 2nd and 3rd day of midnight mass in Binondo Church!

I'm now going back to Cavite, that's why, I will now start attending the 4th to the 9th day of Simbang Gabi in our Chapel in Parklane Gen. Trias!

1st day of Simbang Gabi

Even-though I only had a chance to sleep for almost 2 hours, I still managed to woke up as early as 3 in the morning because I want to attend the first of the nine days Thanksgiving Mass popularly known as SIMBANG GABI (most often than not it was usually held at 4 a. m. in the morning!).

Together with my cousins, we attend the mass in Binondo Church! Unfortunately, we were not able to find vacant seats, so, we stand for more than hour just to finish the Mass! There are lots of people in different sex and ages are there praying solemnly.

I haven't got a chance to buy the famous delicacies during Christmas season specifically BIBINGKA and PUTO-BUMBONG! I'll definitely find a way to buy some of it tomorrow!

Lastly, I really want to complete the 9 days' Simbang Gabi, that's I'll do my best to wake up very early to attend the mass!

R. I. P.

Let's pray for the eternal repose of

Rogelio Repre

May his soul rest in peace!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

I wish you all the best
and
have many more birthdays to come!!!

Is the visiting In or Out??? whatttaaa

Last Sunday, I went to Manila Ocean Park with my brother and Ronaluz, a cousin of mine. It's my second time to go there, still, the aquatic animals never failed to amazed me!

I saw the giant crab and shrimp (I forgot their real name) and thought how it will taste if we cook it!!! The tunnel of fishes are also good!

Moreover, at the middle of our sigtaken abaht seeing, I remember the mermaid show, that's why I ask one of the staff when and where it will start. At the middle of our conversation, a foreigner came and asked the said staff and I quote "IS THE VISITING IN OR OUT?" then suddenly the foreigner walked out! I was taken aback! I even doubt if I heard it correctly! Where on earth is that sentence came from?



After that incident, we went to the Mermaid Show. It was splendid! I enjoyed it very much, even though I haven't got a chance to take a solo picture of all the mermaids!

It was indeed a very nice and fun experience that I will treasure for the rest of my life!!!

Mela-Son

I really like Melissa and Jason of Pinoy Big Brother Double Up!!!

They really look good together!!!

GO! GO! GO!

MELA-SON!!!

eyesight

I went to the center last time where a free eye check up was held. After being checked by the ophthalmologist, the doctor told me that I need to have another appointment with her to further examine my eye because I might have glaucoma.

Glaucoma, as I've researched from Wikipedia, is a disease that affects the optic nerve and involves loss of retinal ganglion cells in a characteristic pattern.

What really shocked me is that if things get worst, I might loose my eyesight!

I'm really praying hard and hoping that I don't have glaucoma!!!

I know and I believe that

GOD IS WITH ME!!!

Christmas!!!

I saw some children yesterday singing Christmas carols like the famous "Sa may bahay," "Ang Pasko ay Sumapit," and etc. in front of my neighbors house hoping for that the good owner of the house will give them a penny. Then I realized that Christmas is coming to town!!!

Almost every house in our barangay already decorated their house with christmas lights, Christmas tree with the very significant star on top, and some miniature belen.

I also saw some children hanging socks, hoping for our dear Santa Clause to give them presents!!!

I really can't imagine, Santa going inside the house through the window (there are no chimney here in the Philippines except in the area of Baguio and Tagaytay) because he will look like a member of AKYAT-BAHAY GANG!!!

Before I forgot, I still have to buy some presents for my 'inaanak'.

To Everyone,

Merry Christmas!!!!

Cojuangco War

This another informative article posted by my friend:

just type the url below so that you'll be able to read it!

Have fun reading!!!

Quitter

I'M A QUITTER!!!

It's true! I'm not proud of it nor I'm ashamed about it!

I believe my decision to quit is more an advantage than a disadvantage because if I'll continue, I"LL ONLY BE A LIABILITY!!!

As much as I want to continue still the circumstances prevents me to.

Maguindanao Massacre

This is a post from my friends blog condemning the gruesome Maguindanao massacre:

http://finakaemo.blogspot.com/2009/11/maguidanao-massacre-gruesome-killings.html

Let us all continue praying for the eternal repose of all the victims of the massacre!!!

2nd semester

It's almost one month since the last time I posted an article here in my blog!

I really miss blogging!!!

For almost one month, I've been very busy studying! Yeah! SCHOOL STUFF again!!!

My second semester in Law school already started! I'm having a hard time during the first week of classes because my body is still in VACATION mode! I'm relieved because I've got the best professor in all of my subject namely:

@ Atty. Salvador in Constitutional Law 2
@Atty. Abellera in Election Law
@ Atty. Regalado in Legal Ethics
@Atty. Arreza in Criminal Law I
@Judge Villarosa in Obligations and Contracts
@ Atty. Ortiz in Legal Writing

We haven't met our professor in Inteelectual Property and Copyright Law but I've heard a lot of good stuff about him.

I'm very confident that I'll learn a lot on the following subjects with their guidance!

The Climb

Sung by Miley Cyrus

I can almost see it
That dream I’m dreaming but
There’s a voice inside my head sayin,
You’ll never reach it,
Every step I’m taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I
Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high

There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb

The struggles I’m facing,
The chances I’m taking
Sometimes they might knock me down but
No I’m not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I’m going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I,
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on,
cause

There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb

There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Somebody's you're going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb

Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith baby
It’s all about
It’s all about
The climb
Keep the faith
Keep your faith
Whoaaa Ohwaoooh

waiting for a new start

The second semester of being freshman will start next week!!!

Honestly, I'm kinda nervous about it! The everyday routines like attending classes by 6 in the evening, going home around 10 pm, reading books until 4 in the morning, sleeping for less than 4 hours, the cramming and all the stuff regarding law school will be back. The only thing that I keep on telling myself is IT'S BETTER TO BE BUSY AND BE PRODUCTIVE RATHER THAN WASTE YOUR TIME DOING NOTHING!

My first semester in law school already ends!!!

I can't believe I endured the ordeal for almost five months!

Well, I passed all my subjects except Criminal Law. I had to admit, It's my fault that I failed the subject because I'm not studying hard and there are lot of impediments standing in my way, as well as, at that time I'm again doubting, doubting if I'm really fit to study law? is it God's will? or is it only my whim?

Sad to say, I FAILED again!

"You can't have any successes unless you can accept failure."

~George Cukor

but I still have HOPES!!! I have to take the subject again and pass it!

"Failure is only the opportunity to begin again more intelligently."

~Henry Ford

and if I fail, I'll still try again!

"Try again. Fail again. Fail better."

~Samuel Beckett

"Supposing you have tried and failed again and again.
You may have a fresh start any moment you choose,
for this thing we call "failure" is not the falling down,
but the staying down."

~Mary Pickford

because only in my failures I will learn how to succeed!!!

"You always pass failure on your way to success."

~Mickey Rooney

MAY THE GOOD LORD CONTINUE TO GUIDE US

AND

BLESS US ALL!!!

Attitude

The longer I live, the more I realized the
impact of attitude on life.
Attitude, to me, is more important than facts,
It is more important than the past,
than education, than money, than
circumstances, than failures, than success,
than what other people think or say or do.
It is more important than appearance,
giftedness or skill.
It will make or break a company,
a church or home.
The remarkable thing is we have a choice
everyday regarding the attitude we will
embrace for that day.
We cannot change the fact that people will
act in a certain way.
We cannot change the inevitable.
The only thing we can do is play on the one
string we have, and that is our attitude...
I am convinced that life is 10% what
happens to me and 90% how I react to it
and so it is with you...

- Charles Swindoll

P. S. I got it from Ate Jean

Finals

I already took the final examinations on Constitutional Law I under Atty. Lazo last Monday and on Persons and Family Relations under Atty. Ramirez yesterday. Both exams were really difficult to the point that I have to doubt whether I'll pass or not! All i can do now is to wait for the classcards to be released to determine whether or not I pass the subject.

Moving on, I would like to thank Ms. Evita Daan for allowing me to borrow her test booklet yesterday because I failed to bring my test booklet due to nervousness and stress for the upcoming final exam.

I still need to study for the last six subjects, I know God will help me to remember those things that I reviewed. May God Bless Us All!!!

everything

"Everything is connected to Everything!"

- Atty. Dela Peña

Going back to school

I'm very excited to go back to school tomorrow!!!

Of course, going back to school means meeting my classmates and professors AGAIN, returning to my so called routine since I entered law school like reading and reviewing books and cases which constitutes a lot of SLEEPLESS nights. Well, I'm not complaining! The truth is, I really MISS doing those stuff after a week of being stuck at home.

Now, I learned how to finally cope up with everything, from the depression and stressed to enthusiasm and optimism! My first semester for being a Freshman in Law School is coming to an end, I had lot of fun, as well as a lot of frustrating events passed, nonetheless, I'm proud to say that I grow not just physically, but also mentally and spiritually!!!

I always say GOD IS SO GOOD! and HE REALLY IS GOOD!!!

Thank You Lord for Allowing me to live that long!!!

"ondoy"

Photo from www.gmanews.tv

(Residents of Rosario, Pasig
brave the floods brought about by tropical storm “Ondoy,"
leaving their homes with nothing but extra clothes on their back.)

I sympathize to all my fellow Filipinos who are in dire situation because of the Typhoon "Ondoy"!

A lot of places in National Capital Region and nearby Provinces are now flooded! If you look at it in the sky, it seems like there's a sea inside the city! Houses, cars and other properties are gone! Nothing is left!

Hence, a lot of my Kababayans are seeking for food, clothing, water, and medicine supply specially those in the most affected areas like Marikina, Manila, Pasig, Navotas, Ortigas, Quezon City and Rizal Province!

I hope that everyone will find a place in their heart to extend their assistance to the victims of this calamity!

Our country, again, is facing another trial, but with the efforts and cooperation of everybody we will be able to overcome this disastrous event!

May the Good Lord Help Us!!!

1st week of being 21

My first week of being 21 years old were spent mostly in school (library in particular).

Thanks God! I already finished writing the digested cases in Statutory Construction last yesterday! Honestly, my hands are shaking after writing almost 130 cases! Good thing! By writing the cases, I already had an advanced study for our final exam in the said subject!

Today, the rain is pouring cats and dogs!!! I really don't know how I managed to stay on the bus going to Cavite for about 6 hours because of the traffic and a lot of stranded vehicles due to the heavy rainfall and flood (about knee to chest deep).

Awhile ago, I received a message from a classmate of mine that they are now in evacuation area. I'm worried about them! I hope they still in good condition!!!

last week of being 20

A lot of good things happened in my last week of being twenty (20) years old.

Finally, last Monday we had a class in Constitutional Law and I passed the Mid-term exam in the said subject. Likewise, we had a class last Tuesday in Environmental Law and I'm looking forward on watching "The Inconvenient Truth" of Al Gore regarding Climate change.

Last Wednesday and Friday, I'm grateful that Atty. Ramirez is back after being absent in our class in Persons and Family Relations (CV111) due to his sickness.

Last Thursday, was my first time attending mass in St. Jude Parish Church in San Miguel together with Ate Jean. I think it will be part of my routine to attend the mass and the novena there every Thursday.

Yesterday, My grandparents gave me a dress us a gift for my birthday!!!

Again,

HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!

Happy Birthday !!!

to the following:

Susie F. Octaviano,

Raymond F. Andrade,

Protacio C. Fernandez,

Ronaluz F. Andrade,

Karin June R. Cipriano,

Valerie Joyce Balimbing,

and

most specially,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!

Today's Advise

My Today's Advise as per Facebook Application is:

" Expect the best, and you'll get it. "

I'm back on track again!!!

I'm back on track again!!!

I can now proudly say that my enthusiasm to study law is finally back!

GOD IS SO GOOD!!!

This day is one of the luckiest day of my life! I hope this luck will continue existing not only tomorrow but also in the future!!!

I'm now planning to do a project in accordance to my so called "law schooling." As of this moment, I cannot divulge the identity of the said project but I promise that I'll reveal it's identity in the mere future after I finished digesting cases in Statutory Construction!!!

Definition of Terms:

Prima Facie Evidence - evidence which standing alone unexplained or uncontradicted, is sufficient to make the proposition affirmed. It is such as, in judgment of law, is sufficient to establish the fact; and if not rebutted, remains sufficient for that purpose (People vs Solis, 64 O. G. 11260).

Motu Propio - on his own motion or initiative (Beech vs Jimenez 12 Phil 220).

Subpoena Duces Tecum - a writ by which a person is required to produce documents in evidence (Famous Anchorage Merchandising Inc. vs Baylen, SP-02472, Dec. 13, 1985).

c/o Ate Jean

Here are some quotes shared by Mrs. Mary Jean Sidro, a classmate of mine in Law school:

"There are in nature neither rewards nor punishments, there are CONSEQUENCE!
EXCELLENCE then is not an act but a HABIT!"

"A mere opening is a sign of invitation!"

"We are what we repeatedly do!"

QUotEs

Lately, I've been collecting some quotable statements from my professors in Law school! i believe some of you already noticed it from my previous posts. Well, here's an addition to my so called collection of quotable 'QUOTES':

" Don't think about your PAINS,

Don't think of your STRUGGLES,

Don't think of your HARDSHIPS,

Just THINK of

HOW MANY PEOPLE YOU'LL BE ABLE TO HELP

IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE A LAWYER!!!"

Those words were simple, yet, it motivates me to move forward and give my best!!!

Zhi Hui

My Chinese name is "Zhi Hui" which means "clever wisdom".

Bar

Before entering law school, I thought, being smart and intelligent is enough to be able to cope up with the struggles in law school.

I was wrong!!!

By being able to survive for almost two months in law school, I now somewhat understand what Atty. Clemente told us during the freshmen orientation that:

"In surviving in Law school, we should have:

1% mind and 99% heart"

Everyday is a challenge! Everyday is a test! A test of our determination, our limits, our capacity to be able to go beyond our comfort zones! Every subject needs our 100% focus and slacking off would mean failure, failure in the subject and worst, failure in the Bar exam.

Before, I live a carefree life! I'm not thinking about whether or not I've studied enough on the topics given to us because in the end I know everyone will pass! But now, everything is different, reading just two or three books is not enough! Reading is not enough! comprehending, understanding is not enough! Time is not enough! Every effort I put to learn the subject is not enough! Everything is not enough! It's as if there's always lacking!!!

Seeing the Barristers in the library, I always ask myself:

"HOW THEY WERE ABLE TO SURVIVE LAW SCHOOL?,"

and

"WILL I BE ABLE TO FINISH LAW SCHOOL?"

These questions keeps on bugging me!!!

Sometimes I just want to quit! In the end, I will not, because I have my goals set, set to be fulfilled! If I can't do this, how can I be able to pass the next challenges?

I just keep on telling:

"HELL YEAH!!!

I CAN DO IT!!!

IF OTHERS CAN DO IT,

WHY CAN'T I?"

Well, I need to work harder, study harder, and pray harder everyday to be able to reach that stage.

The start of the Bar Examination will be this Sunday, September 6, 2009. I'll be in La Salle to cheer the Barristers.

To the 2009 Barristers:

GOOD LUCK!!!

and

GOD SPEED!!!

Nobody!!!

I absolutely like this song!!!

Nobody By: Wonder Girls

You Know I still Love You Baby.
And it will never change. (Saranghae)

I want nobody nobody But You, I want nobody nobody But You
How can I be with another, I don't want any other
I want nobody nobody nobody nobody

Why are you trying to, to make me leave ya
I know what you're thinking
Baby why aren't you listening
How can I just
Just love someone else and
Forget you completely
When I know you still love me

Telling me you're not good enough
My life with you is just too tough
You know it's not right so
Just stop and come back boy
How can this be
When we were meant to be

I want nobody nobody But You, I want nobody nobody But You
How can I be with another, I don't want any other
I want nobody nobody nobody nobody

I want nobody nobody But You, I want nobody nobody But You
How can I be with another, I don't want any other
I want nobody nobody nobody nobody

Why can't we just, just be like this
Cause it's you that I need and nothing else until the end
Who else can ever make me feel the way I
I feel when I'm with you, no one will ever do

Telling me you're not good enough
My life with you is just too tough
You know me enough so
You know what I need boy
Right next to you is where I need to be.

I want nobody nobody But You, I want nobody nobody But You
How can I be with another, I don't want any other
I want nobody nobody nobody nobody

I want nobody nobody But You, I want nobody nobody But You
How can I be with another, I don't want any other
I want nobody nobody nobody nobody

I don't want no body, body
I don't want no body, body

Honey you know it's you that I want, it's you that I need
Why can't you see~

I want nobody nobody But You, I want nobody nobody But You
How can I be with another, I don't want any other
I want nobody nobody nobody nobody (2x)

Back to the days when we were so young and wild and free
Nothing else matters other than you and me
So tell me why can't it be
Please let me live my life my way
Why do you push me away
I don't want nobody nobody nobody nobody but you.

Happy B-day!!!

Happy Birthday !!!

Angry!!! Grrrrrr....

I'm kinda pissed off last Saturday because there's a person who act as if he is GOD!

He/She (I don't want to put that person's name as well as gender here to create mystery and avoid charges!!!) is one of the worst person I've met!!!

Imagine, he keeps on asking questions as if he/she knows everything!!!

What makes me angry the most is when he/she even called us "ENG-ENG" (a Filipino word which means stupid, moron, and dumb in English)!

That person is the reason why, instead of attending the "SEND OFF" to the Barristers, I just decided to go home!!!

I don't know if I'll be able to get along with him/her. But one things for sure, I don't like him/her!!!

disturbed? what a word!!!

I'm quite bothered with regards to my exam in Civil Law because I'm not satisfied with my answer to the question provided by my professor. I did answer all the questions but still I'm a bit disturbed (not referring to psychological incapacity) if I did a good job answering those.

Well, I will just try to calm down, forget what happened and wait for the next episode!?

To everyone:

I'm back! Alive! and Kicking!

I miss blogging very much!!!

Disappointed for having no classes

After all the sleepless night I went through last Friday to study Criminal Law, all of it was blown by the wind because the class was suspended yesterday!!!

Worst, I have to read and review it all over again!!!

Some Well Known Latin Maxims

they call me

My family, relatives and friends used to call me "Paula, Ola or Paula Phamie" (what vianka used to call me) but since I entered law school, they started to call me "ATTORNEY", as if I already passed the bar!

I was so awkward! Like when I saw Christine Ganalongo in Pasay MRT station, she called me "atty." I don't know what to tell her that time! I was so excited as well as a bit surprised that a former classmate and a also a friend will call me atty.

I will not let them down!!! I'll make sure of that!

after a month

Almost one month already past since I posted my last entry in this blog. It doesn't mean that I got tired from blogging nor I hate it but the truth here is that LAW SCHOOL is so DEMANDING!!! Come to think of it, I'm a full time student yet I still don't have enough time to study!!! I did try to use a time chart to schedule the subjects that I will study per day and also I already adjusted my body clock from the usual 9 p. m. - 6 a. m. to 3 a.m to 7 a. m. sleep.

Worse, I almost dropped out of law school because of some terror professor whom I almost have a heart attack.

Last week, we got our midterm exams in three subjects namely: Statutory Construction, Criminal Law and Constitutional Law. By next week, we will have our exams in Environmental Law and Persons and Family Relations. Luckily, our professor in Legal Accounting, Atty. San Buenaventura, will not give exams in exchange of a project.

Yesterday, Ate Esther already dropped Statutory Construction. I understand her predicament because that subject requires a lot of effort like digesting cases and etc. but I hope she'll reversed her decision.

As of now, I have to focus on my classes in law school!!!

I hope and pray that we will all pass the subjects! God knows how I studied very hard for it!!!

All I want to say is

"THY WILL BE DONE"

hating

I hate myself
for not being able to recite
People vs. Lidasan
in
Statutory Construction
class yesterday!!!

Temptation

As much as I don't want to attend the class in Criminal Law, I still manage to attend the class yesterday even though my professor kept me standing for recitation for two hours!!!

new friends

Yesterday, I got a chance to bond with our classmates in Law School.

Ate Mona Pecas is a Elementary math teacher in Marikina while Ate Jean Sidro is a Practicing accountant.

We went together with Vianka to SM Center point (now SM Sta. Mesa) and sung in Karaoke Hub for 2 hours and ate shawarma for dinner!!!

I'm happy that I gain new friends and I hope that our bond will get stronger as time goes by!!!

We must be the guardians of that angel."

trend

I think a lot of freshman in law school will also experience the feeling of quitting! It is as if it's a trend that will test your patience and determination!

It all starts from me and followed by my classmates who are now thinking of dropping the subjects! Luckily, I already passed that test and now I'm ready to move forward!!!

what I should be

"You should be a Lawyer

with Strong

Moral Values!!!"

- Atty. Vicente C. Ramirez

back on track

I realized now why I'm having a second thought in attending classes in law school, the reason is I'm having a hard time reaching out to my classmates, I've got no one to lean to whenever I don't understand a provision and whenever I can't answer the questions of my professors, wherein, I know that I've been studying really hard yet I sucked in recitation!!! I felt awful and down then!!!

But now, I really thank GOD for helping me keep on track to be able to pursue my goals!!!

As Atty. Clemente puts it:

"Learn to be proud of yourself!"

and

"Be proactive!
Do not try to change the world,
CHANGE YOURSELF!!!"

What the hell is happening to me???

My class in law school seems so dull!!!

I've been studying so hard this week but still I mess a lot in class, especially during recitations. I prepared myself by reading, understanding and quite memorizing a lot of pertinent provisions for the class recitations yet I'm not able to fully express myself and worst my answers are all wrong!!!

What's happening to me??????

What the HELL is happening to me????

I'm confused on whether or not to quit in law school!!!

Law school don't have an appeal to me anymore!? It's as if my passion and strength in struggling in law school is continuously declining.

God help me!!!

Loosing the grip!

Why is that I have this feeling of giving up law school?

It was just days ago when my decision was firm that I will be a law student and eventually become a lawyer! But one day I woke up, troubled about law school!!!

I don't like this feeling!!! I don't like the fact that I'm loosing my grip!!!

Now I'm starting to realize that the enemy that I have to fight is only me, myself and I!!!

God please give me more courage to endure everything!!!

High School Friends

Yesterday is a fun filled day!!!

I believe God wants me to have a social life because since the start of the class in law school all I did is to study, study, study and a lot more study!!!

I went to Mimita's (Jeremi Jane Carungcong) house to finally meet my high school friends after almost a year not seeing them and the only communication we have are through text, phone calls and chat since we are all busy with our own errands.

We have to endure watching horror movie since Jethro is the only one who brought the CD!!!

Jean is always cool as ever though I am really worried because she had a fever!!!

Jobelle, our informant, told us first class information regarding our classmates since she have a constant communication with them!

I'm really sad knowing that Jayson a. k. a. Baki and Emmiline finally broke up (maybe the're not really meant to be!)!!!

I would like to thank Isay for driving us yesterday!?

Emmiline's and Mimi's family is as good as always!!!

Unfortunately, I don't have a ny chance to join them in the outing this coming saturday due to my class but still I do hope to see them soon!!!

Miss you Guys!!!

suspension of class

I experienced a lot of ups and down this week!!!

Last Monday, my professor in Constitutional Law show up in person of Atty. Pedro Lazo. He is very nice and likes to put up jokes a lot during the discussions.

On the next day, Tuesday, Dean Dela Pena finally show up! As expected he is very cool and smart as always!!!

We don't have classes last Wednesday due to the celebration of the Feast of San Juan and Manila Day!!!

Last Thursday is a memorable one because my shoes broke and I had to call my aunt to bring my shoes in school and also I suck in recitation during the class of Atty. Clemente I don't know why but I'm a bit nervous when he called my name!!!

The classes were canceled yesterday (Friday) and today (Saturday) due to the ongoing general cleaning in the campus to prevent the spread of A H1N1 and dengue.

first week in law school

Law school is really in a different level!!!

This week for me is like riding a roller coaster or a space shuttle in Enchanted Kingdom because the my classes in law school started last Monday wherein I came to P. U. P. prepared for the surprised recitation for my very first class Constitutional law but unfortunately my professor did not appear in the class followed by the non-appearance of Dean Dela Peńa in our class in Environmental Law last Tuesday due to some important matters he needed to attend to...

Here come Wednesday, wherein I met our very first professor Atty. Ramirez, who is also my interviewer in the Oral Entrance Exam, a lot of students quite warned me that only 3 out of 20 students passed in his class particularly in his class in Persons and Family Relations which is the subject I'm taking!!!

Last Thursday, we met our professor in Statutory Construction, Atty. Clemente, I find the story of his life is very inspiring! I remember him telling us that "we are not going to construct a word but what we are going to do is to construe a word!"

Yesterday (Friday), I attended our class in Persons and Family Relations. Finally, I was able to recite and give my opinion about the Article 2 of the Civil Code of the Philippines and the plus factor here is that Atty. Ramirez praise me for giving a good arguments!!!

This Morning (Saturday), our professor in Legal Accounting did not meet us so we don't have classes for the first subject. The next class is the Criminal Law, wherein our professor is Atty. Elcid, he called me for a recitation which I was a ble to answer because I read the RPC or the Revised Penal code in advanced! He said that the class can ask for our (referring to me and vianka) help since we are full time students!!! Lastly, Atty. Ramos is our professor in Legal Profession and Legal Research, I sense a strange aura in him that he may look mellow in the outside but he's tough to beat in the inside!!!

In addition, I gain a lot of friends in the person of my classmates this week!!!

Lastly, I will do my best to be able to pass all the subjects!!!

Jai HO!!!
