Or baka ako lang. HAHAHA...

Ganito kasi yun. Ngayon ko lang napagtanto kung papanong klase ng spoon feeding and pampering ang ginawa sa akin sa aking dating Pamantasan. Magmula sa online enrollment hanggang sa Student council, isama pa ang iba't ibang orgs at hanggang sa emergency moments. Well, wala naman talagang masama sa magandang pagtrato sa amin ng mga Lasallian brother. Laking pasalamat ko nga, sulit naman pala ang mahal na miscellanous fees ng Pamantasan.

Pero, wala lang...it's only now that I've come to appreciate those things. Ngayon na graduate na ako and currently enrolled in another academic institution in pursuance of another degree.

So, ganito kasi yun.  'Twas my first time to actually enroll in Beda (incomparable naman kasi yung first enrollment as freshman nung first sem). So anyway, 'yun nga enrollment ko sa Beda. There was an online registration. So okay yun. Mabilis. Then, the manual enrollment... TADAN!!! ANG BAGAL!!! INABOT AKO NG DALAWANG ORAS!!! HANEP!!! Isipin mo yun. I know that it's not good to compare pero as one of my current blockmate puts it, "the longest time it took me in enrolling in La Salle was 15 minutes."

So syempre, sanay ako sa mabilis at high tech na sistema in my former school. So, after I finished enrolling medyo di na so happy happy ang timpla ko. Diretso ako ngayon sa bahay. To my surprise, another blockmate. This time, someone from UP (oo yung peyups, yung maraming isaw ba :D) posted his appreciation to Beda. Super saya nya because it only took him two hours to enroll. Sa isip-isip ko, hello ano ba?! ang tagal kaya!!!

THEN IT HIT ME...

Super masyado akong na-baby sa La Salle. Lining up for two hours  for enrollement got on my nerves, while my blockmate was soooo happy and amazed that he only lined up for two hours. Such difference! Grabe. When I saw how thankful he was, as compared to how devastated I was... nahiya naman daw ako sa sarili ko. *bulang nag-pop bigla*

So there. I am really thankful for the kind of efficiency that my former school provided me with while I was there. However, it's time to live in the real world and try to go with the flow. I should be more patient and appreciative from now on.

we should never have any doubts in the power of God.

Ora et Labora works.

I'm soooooo happy!

The following are usual truths about law students. I gave my reactions to them.

1. They would rather make endless paragraphs than solve mathematical problems. 
     = OO!!!!!! a resounding YES!!! YES!! YES!!! Totally absolutely undeniably true for me :P

2. They are the most verbally harassed students & their heart palpitates during class recitation.
    = verbally harassed. CHECK. Words I've never dreamt of hearing, saying or even knowing, I heard, said and knew. To top it all, nakakaisang semester pa lang ako sa law school.
   = heart palpitates. OO! OO! at OO! Natawag ko na rin lahat ng santo sa buong mundo, dumami bigla ang relihiyon ko. Lahat dinasalan ko.

3. They carry books as heavy as one sack of rice.
 = nakakalaki ng muscles. no need to go to the gym :P

4. Their lungs are as if filled with suffocating gas during examinations.
= CARDIAC ARREST. NERVOUS BREAKDOWN. Alam mo yung feeling nasa death row? Yun. Ganon pakiramdam.

5. They create an exclusive world when they talk.
= As much as possible, I try to avoid this. SUPER >________< Syempre kasi when I come home, dapat normal na tao pa rin ako.

6. To them, wearing eyeglasses is virtually inevitable.
 = TRUE!!!!!!! Lumabo ang mata ko. SWEAR!!!! Biglaang lumabo ang mata ko but as much as possible, I refrain from wearing eyeglasses. Eeeeewwww!!!!

7. They are coffee shops' regular customers.
= OO. OO. OO. OO. Suki ako sa Starbucks Gateway pero usually take out. HAHAHA.. UBUSAN BAON LAGI.

8. Their neurons are extremely busy.
= Yeah, my neurons are extremely busy figuring out why the hell I entered hell? HAHAHA.. Seriously, if I'm not busy recalling memorized provisions, then I'm recalling the names of the saints for my prayers o kaya I'm figuring out yung solution sa pinaghalu-halong problema sa family law or dun sa pinagpatong-patong na kaso sa crim. HAHAHAHA.

9. To them, quality education takes a lot of sleepless nights and spasms.
 = ???????????

10. They are perfectly normal students.
=  TRUE!!! Maraming maawrty sa amin! <3

I won't quit but I'll probably drop some subjects next sem in order to make the academic load lighter. I'm still young. Sasabayan ko na mga real batchmates ko. :D

I want to achieve my dream but at the same time I also want to preserve my sanity.
So, there.

It might take me a longer time than the usual four years of finishing this, but I'll definitely reach that finish line
at the top of that bar list.  :D

right now, i just don't want to hear the words, "five years"

i'm not quitting. no. never. nunca.

after the first final exam was given, the atmosphere changed, it's as if everyone was attending a funeral.
people were in tears. why? because the exam was FREAKING hard.

it's like put tang in a glass of water and drink it!

that's how it was.

thank God, man learned how to make cheeseburgers.

'twas my saving grace that night. a cheeseburger meal at mcdo.

actually, we went straight to mcdonald's to get ourselves a happy meal.
we did that to forget how demonic that examination was. no amunt of memorization and studying could have assured us in passing that hellish exam.

hayyy... life goes on.
must keep on holding on.
i'll make it through, we'll make it through..

"When life gets difficult, when the world becomes tiring, when you're about to give up, always remember that the snail got to Noah's ark inch by inch to survive."

Finally! After four Sundays... tapos na ang Bar exams for this year. Now the hardest part--waiting for the bar exam results!
MASAYA. MAINGAY. EXCITING. NAKAKABINGI. CRAZY. yan ang bar ops salubong. Bar ops can be likened to UAAP Opening. Haha.. cheer ng cheer yung mga tao.

San Juan Fiesta (dahil da basaan) + UAAP Cheering + Street Party+ Chinese New Year (coz of Dragon dance) = Bar Operations Salubong

Pero di ko lang talaga gets kung bakit may dragon dance! haha...
Super saya ng bar ops salubong. We had balloons and water guns. Tapos ang ingay ingay. People with bouquet of flowers were all over the place. Ibibigay yata sa mga barista. Super fun! ang ingay ingay namin cheering for our respective law schools. Cheering for our barristers. There were splashing of beer everywhere. Iwasan basa ang game naming blocmates eh. Iwas na matapunan ng beer. Iwas na mabasa ng water gun. PERO di kami ngakaligtas (especially ako) when one of our professors came and splashed water on us! haha... ang cute kaya! :P

Ang saya saya sa beda part. Haha.. Naghagis pa nga ng tao eh. Take note, tao talaga yung hinahagis. Ay grabe lang. 'Twas fun. CRAZY FUN.

We were cheering for like two hours hanggang sa lumabas yung barristers. Ang saya saya! Supposedly and cheer namin ay, "San Beda! San Beda!" eh loko-loko yung blockmates ko. So instead we cheered, "walang pera! walang pera!" The funny part was when a blockmate na UP alumna was cheering for UP Law school. Sabi namin, "get over!" sabay basa ng watergun! hahaha.

Inside the Beda Headquarters... maraming balloons! Yey! We attempted to make shapes using the balloons.. Ay naku, ultimate fail. Why? naputok namin yung balloons. So much for being makulit na first year students... pero funny lang talaga nung makita ko yung beer ng beda. RED horse. ay grabe, kamusta naman hangaang sa beer na itatapon for the salubong RED pa rin. Oh well.

After that our barristers went back to our campus to celebrate mass.

Sana pumasa lahat ng barristers namin.

God bless and KUDOS to them!

syempre hindi ko birthday! Wala lang.. feel ko lang i-greet ang mga tao this month! hahaha... special mention kina Pauline, Kuya Jan, Greg, Ate Karla and Mandy! Hahaha... Pati kay Queen Elizabeth I kahit na patay na sya. Happy birthday na rin kay Mama Mary kahit na mapayapa na rin sya.
Ah basta! Happy happy happy happy!

Dapat hermit mode ako pero sapagkat datapwat ILABAS ANG LECHON! Hahaha.... Ihain ang pulutan! joke. haha...

The truth is...

NAURONG YUNG FINALS WEEK!!!! 
kaya ito... happy happy happy happy happy!

Hahahahaa....

tralalalala... kung suswertihin ka nga naman oh!

happiness!

Ora at labora is true. Hail! hail! hail! I got one of my midterm exams today. WHAM! Syento por syento!!! Exempted ako sa final exam for one of my subjects!!!! I'm SOOOOOO SOOOOO SOOOOO HAPPY! Living the hermit life during the midterms week paid off. I'm just suuupperrrr thankful at least, bawas na sya sa mga aaralin ko.

BUT THEN, sana pasado naman ako sa consti.. huhu.. I mean I am confident about my midterm exam pero sapagkat bagamat subalit I fear for my grade because of my recitation. You see, my recitation can be likened to... uhmm... never mind. It was just so pathetic. Kaya yun, I believe that my overall grade in consti for the first half is on the rocks. Pero... pero.. sana pasado pa rin. SANA. SANA. SANA. SANA talaga... Kung pwede lang bawasan yung grade ko sa subjects na matataas ako at ilipat yun sa consti, ginawa ko na!!! huhu... I mean, hello?! How am I supposed to like Consti naman kasi eh studying it is like studying the anatomy of a wall. Walang kabuhay-buhay. It can be likened to my french classes during my undergrad years ( I never learned to like it. hay.. I hope someday I'd learn to like it haha). hay.. hay... hay...

Oh well, i'm just really thankful for this day.
To God be the glory.

P.S.
Today was umbrella day. I think those incidents that happened kanina were sooo romantic. As in fairytale/koreanovela/Philippine drama romantic. Pero next time ko na kwento. I just made a note... haha...

I do pray that our barristers would ALL pass the bar. I'm super excited for the send off party for them! Bukas na yun!

midtermss na!
 
*dies*

I can't help but blog about this. Persons and Family relation cases cause me to laugh as if there's no tomorrow because of their hilarious situations and overly dramatic nature ( imagine, there was a petition for the annulment of marriage just because of the size of the penis of the man. DUH?! ) ; Consti cases lure me to sleep because of their length and wall-like nature ( try reading 100 or more pages for a single case. AMF!!! )  then, Criminal cases bring tears to my eyes. They really do. It is because real people are involved and their lives were really taken. For instance, this particular case of  of People of the Republic of the Philippines vs. Pugay (167 SCRA 439) , really made me cry. It was about a 25 year old retarded man who was burned alive simply because the accused made fun of him. Sobra. I can just imagine a retardate being burned alive in front of many people. Grabe... sobra lang talaga. 'Twas one of the cases that really made a mark on me. Nakakaiyak lang talaga. I feel for the retardate. Naaawa ako sa kanya kasi super pinagtripan sya, tapos he was burned alive in front of many people, during their town fiesta. Parang ako habang binabasa ko yung case...super affected. Wala lang... ang tindi kasi ng dating eh. Retarded na nga yung tao tapos ganun pa. Nakakaiyak lang talaga.

bading ung crush ko. *shocked*
BAKLA SYA!!!! Confirmeeeeddddd!!!!! Ang ebidensya? Nag-take lang naman siya ng "Which Miss Universe title holder are you? " Amfufufuuffu.... Tawa ako ng tawa.. :D
yoko na nga magka-crush.
I'll just hunt Atty. Melencio Sta. Maria, Jr. para magpa-autograph ng book.
Haha.
