LUCK and OBAMA

Will post pictures of our new venture in EDSA soon. I've always liked being in entrepreneurship/business. Very exciting. A fish in water. 2008 is an auspicious time pala. I have a new office assignment too. In EDSA. new terrain, staff and schedule, complements my review in U.P. :-)
(How I wish to God that I get over the Bar as fast as I can next year..I am so allergic to studying law already)

It's still unclear how things will be in the US now that there is a new American President. The first Black man to become President. I'm Republican, preferring McCain. I've been Republican since I was 17. Obama seems capable, graduating magna cum laude from Harvard University and being very eloquent. I don't know though unless the next few years show what he is really capable of doing for the homeland in the next few years.

I'm still thinking of going home for Christmas this year. Miss my folks and Duke. That will take out 2 to 3 weeks off my December sched. Review can be fun but I need more discipline. :-)

STUCK FOR CHRISTMAS

Stuck a Manille until next year. No Christmas homecoming as usual. dearly missed
maximize law center. meeting new people there. nice funny studious ones who share tips and
their lives :-)
Embassy trip tomorrow very early. hassle with papers.
Fix. sleep. read. Bored to Death. Hope that luck follows.. Not an auspicious time.

No Bar

iM not taking the Bar. Just decided. See La Salle Next year. It's just not my time. Just Not. My parents were hoping otherwise.
So right now, oh well, i'm looking forward to November. Balik UP ako. review so as not to forget.
I don't want to dwell on it. Life is happy. It should be.

I am lucky. but oh well, listen to this song...There is so much beauty and love in this world. This summer ain't too bad after all.

Sweet Child O' Mine
by Guns N' Roses

he's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see his face
he takes me away to that special place
And if I stared too longI'd probably break down and cry
Sweet child o' mine Sweet love of mine
he's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
His hair reminds me
of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rainTo quietly pass me by
Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine
Where do we go
Where do we go now
Where do we go
Sweet child o' mine

Doldrums

Am not so primed for the bar. let's see, i'm trying though. But these next few months, they won't be such happy months, i'll just be studying always. Praying to God to rescue me from myself. Hehe...This weekend is my last weekend of sanity. Will be away. Travel takes you away from yourself sometimes even when you come back to yourself because you have to, but I can't wander too far off, my mind is worrying about the Bar. I'm glad though things are more or less in order in the other realms of my life. ok not now, won't discuss it.

This will be my last post for the longest time. Sigh.. (i have to start reading seriously already..)

I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud
by William Wordsworth

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced,
but theyOut-did the sparkling leaves in glee;
A poet could not be but gay,In such a jocund company!
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

Death by Stress

IT's Holy Thursday. I feel very very tired. dragging myself to exercise and read 100 more pages and a 100 more and a few more...without eating sufficiently. I am trying not to gain the weight here. :p

have to go to church at 4:30pm. went home to my grandma's for family, good food and a very very comfortable bed. :-)
Goodbye Malcolm Hall! Tapos na ang law school. Officially it's freaking over. if not for the finals. will definitely skip graduation day for a va-cay somewhere. i don't want to see stressed out faces on april 28 and the profs who caused my uneventful stress leaden law school life. I need a break.

Im just glad I survived all of this with a stronger 'me' intact and nice friends to boot. :-)

TODAY making OLA stuff

OLA takes up a lot of my time. It really really does. I should be reading for the bar. I got this RRAF approved and then whoa! a direct exam then a comment opposition and an amended complaint to make. If this case weren't OLA's or for indigent clients, the law firm would have made a ton of cash. I like legal work anyhow. It's an honorable and prestigious profession. It requires a lot of study and hard work though. My study skills need work. Because of my semi-vacation mode last sem, my brain needs a workout. So this past few weeks I've been trying to read everything I can get my hands on including John Grisham novels and reviewer books.


Im not a 'malait' na tao but sometimes I'm entitled to my comments occassionally and usually the persons I describe in a negative manner, I make sure they are clueless that it's them. Nakakaawa naman kasi. I don't want to be a bully. it might affect this wishy-washy type. wala sya kakampi. not a fair fight. I used to be a 'mean girl'.Hahahahaha. :-) ..........this person.......this person.....this person.....see? I didn't say a thing but I could if I really wanted to, pero kasi nakakaawa nga kasi sya. let's leave it at that ;P
