:-(

in a matter of days, the luxury that i am enjoying right now is about to end again.. the late morning wake-ups will soon be history and the "seemingly-a-lifetime-of-stress" will ruin my goody life again..

im not yet prepared for the battle that awaits.

downfall..

with a hundred and some coins left in my pocket, i am literally empty. and this one calls, again, for some pondering.. funny how this times can motivate me to think and write stuffs such as this. this is what others say that during those times when we are happy and satisfied, we tend to isolate and immerse ourselves into enjoying the moment in full satisfaction.. we tend to taste every last happy feeling that we can have and completely disregard those things that can completely ruin it.. this really makes sense and i wont be opposing that..

my second year in law school has been a helluva ride! there were some great moments but there were also moments when i almost thought of giving up.. and this is no metaphor. there were times when i thought that my efforts were paying off.. happy times when i felt being recognized.. but there were also those times when the recognition i'm getting is not the kind of recognition that i'm expecting.. im no saint. i admit that.. seems that there are some things which we think were innocently harmless would, in the long run, be 0ne wrong move towards our downfall.

needless to say, i'm a bit nervous on what's gonna happen this year.. im still positive though. i need more ammunition.. i can no longer risk my chance into finishing my personal goal. i need this more than anything. im preparing for the worst and praying for some miracles.. big word? let it be! im in need of that and a lot more!

pray for me. :-)

choices..

life can never run out of options.. this line makes me strong enough to face every endeavor i am in.. some options may be way too illogical but still an option nonetheless..

none of us would want to end up in the loosing end.. so we struggle to find the best win-win solution for everything. what we fail to consider is the fact that sometimes, those options that we think were ridiculous from the start would end up to be the most practical and beneficial choice. of course this is not to imply my expertise on dealing with my personal problems, as in my case, it's always been a difficulty..

hope this post would reach the person concerned.. honestly, i am not happy for what you are doing in dealing with your problem. im a friend. and sometimes a friend would just let go of some mishaps.. as you've noticed, i don't give my personal view on the matter, as it would definitely hurt you and a friend. i want you to be happy but i can't give any advice to which my being is in complete opposition with.. i don't want to fool you and i definitely want to make a joke on myself..

im not waging war and in no way saying that you are wrong. i guess we all have different ways of dealing things.. but in any rate, you will always have a friend in me. i remain.

paused.

.. or on hold.. this word best describes what i am right now.. for the past few months, all i ever wanted to do and, i fact been doing, is to focus a little bit more on my studies.. after a two-week visit with my family, i guess it had given me the motivation i need to stay on track.. i wanted to prove something as much as i dont wanted to fail them.. otherwise, everything i fought and i am fighting for will be for nothing..

last day, our dean in the college of law offered me if would be willing to join the internship program in the Solicitor General's Office. the program is for 3rd and 4th year law students who have shown excellence in any law school in the Philippines.. the dean further offered me a recommendation should i decide on the affirmative.. a simple gesture, but it made me realize one thing.. I MUST BE WORTH SOMETHING! i do not consider myself outstanding for this matter, so i humbly refused the offer. but the fact still exists: of all the students in the university where i study, i was offered a chance. that should count! lol

i am giving myself a personal goal.. I WILL BECOME A LAWYER, whatever the costs..

fateful morning

these pictures were taken today, December 17, 2009. An accident occured just in front of the building where i stay..

the commotion started..

the firemen responded just in time...

as well as the medical team..

as the fire ablaze in front of my eyes, i felt the grief of the victims as they helplessly watch their properties burn..




















in total, 18 houses were destroyed.

wasted but happy..

i would want to freeze and remember this moment for as long as my brains can handle..

other than being my friend, he's not, in any way, related to me intimately.. i dont even care if he doesnt know, i dont intend, in the first place, to make a formal announcement for that matter! :-)

i went home 4am drunk, but definitely smilin!

pressure again and again..

pressures doesn't seem to end in law school.. the first semester had been a hell of a struggle and now, the second semester is again ongoing.. we haven't even had our sembreak! the only consolation that we all have is the possible hope that someday there will be back pays! lol

right from the start, we were all warned that law school is and will never be easy. we all took the challenge but that doesnt mean we are no longer entitled to the right to complain from time to time.. i mean, helloo? we can only take the maximum and nothing more..

i am not complaining because i can't cope. i just wanted to feel that i am still a normal person.. there hasn't been much fun lately. just as they say, if you want something, you will never escape trading another thing for that. in my case, my social life.. good thing that on my early months in law school i have managed to party and study at the same time. i guess i couldn't do that any longer.. as we level up, it's getting a lot harder and stressful. cases seem to jumble in my head and since we already have knowledge of some laws, confusion get into play.

haizt! im missing my happy-go-lucky life before.. those times when i can watch a marathon of movies as i want.. those times when i can still go to sleep without any worry when i wake up the following day.. those times when fun is forever..

again, it's all wishful thinking now. :-(
