One of the reasons why I joined the Bar Ops (Bar Operations) is: 1) to see my crush (he's now in the last year of law school) and 2) I was curious on how this thing works. Initially, I wanted to be with the Operations Committee but then I got shuffled to Academics Committee, which isn't my first choice. I hate digesting cases. But I guess the universe has its own way of saying things like, "this is for your own good too" as I've never grasped or should I say, got the better understanding of how to do case digest properly. When I saw my name under the Academics Committee, I was in complete shock, because that only meant doing case digests and so much academic related workload. I was in total disbelief, but I am taking this as a sign from the universe to 'straighten' my crooked ways in law school. I admit my journey to law school is rough and could only get by (there are some days I would grumpily grab my book and try to read). While most of my friends have accelerated already and I am left a year behind, I'm still grateful for the people I've met. Well, change means growing up too, right?
I've turned 24 last September 15. I wasn't expecting much, because I only wanted the day to pass by. Looking back from the years I celebrated my birthday, this year felt depressing not because of family (in fact they were even enthusiastic about where to eat) but because of him. But that's for another story. I got my birthday cake, tteokbokki, and money as a gift. Still, I'm very grateful.
I don't know until when "my pieces" could take this on-off setup with the Singaporean guy I am talking about. Never mentioned it with anyone until I decided that it was "too much" at my end and shared with my friends then finally, my family. Both side say, "leave it!" I really wanted to but I'm still having second thoughts. It is a complicated setup everyday...very confusing.

We went to Sumilon Island in Oslob for 2D3N last week. I always look forward for long trips like this because our stopover includes breakfast at Carcar (yum, lechon!) going to Oslob then lunch going back. When you come to Cebu, don't forget to taste Carcar's lechon! :)
Here are the only 'decent' photos I took with my phone when we arrived. Forgive my poor editing skills, I only go by how I feel with the photo. Peace!
To cap off the week, my family met my cousin who now works as a lawyer. We're not close and haven't talked much since 2010 (we don't have that close family relationships, both side of my parents.) When I saw her, I know I had to take law school seriously and stop being grumpy or! yap about how hard law school is to my brother (hahaha) because I still have to fulfill that dream. I may be far from what my cousin is now, but the goal is to have that 'Atty.' beside my long-ass name and be the lawyer I want to be. I am not envious, but I am taking that as an inspiration to pursue and persevere until I pass the bar exam and finally, hurdle my way becoming a lawyer...just like her. In His time, in my own time scheduled. :)
How are you? :)
