Second year, here I come
Posted by: baabols on: June 15, 2009
I remember about a year ago, on our orientation day, we already had to prepare for our mock recitation. I spent two or three days reading two short cases, memorizing every detail. I walked around the house, trying to tell everyone how the story went on. But on the day of our mock recit, it felt as if I didn’t know a thing. When you’re sitting in front of the professor who made you feel insignificant, you’d just wish the earth would just swallow you alive. But I was lucky because I wasn’t called. As the weeks progressed, my inferiority complex just sucked the better of me and almost made me quit.
I was contemplating on quitting after a week in law school. I even had a long, tearful talk with my mom and dad. It was so painful, I couldn’t stop crying when we went to Church to hear mass. I didn’t know what I was doing in law school–heck I could be earning money with my college degree or dancing in a professional ballet company–but not this. I thought that maybe I was in a haste when I decided I want to be a lawyer.
I was told to hold on for one more week; we were even computing how much money I could refund from my tuition fees. Then the weeks became months. What we initially planned, and agreed upon was to take an LOA after first semester, then reflect hard and seek other options. But I guess as the weeks went by, the hardships became more bearable; until I became so used to it that I look forward to reading cases, to waking up early only to be shouted when we get to school, to preparing for recitations and skipping lunches just to have a decent grade.
My first year has been one heck of a roller coaster ride and I’m enjoying the thrill. It’s exhilirating–with all the UPs and DOWNs, I don’t think I’d ever be needing songs (or drugs) to psyche me up. My family and friends helped me have fun during the trip, and I’m forever grateful to them. And of course, to HIM.
So long summer.
Second year, here I come.
Still not okay

Something that made me almost cry today.
Kiwi are flightless birds endemic to New Zealand, in the genus Apteryx and family Apterygidae.
At around the size of a domestic chicken, kiwi are by far the smallest living ratites and lay the largest egg in relation to its body size.[2] There are five recognised species – all of which are endangered.
The kiwi is a national symbol of New Zealand.
I am sad.

I feel so shetty today. And sad.
Sometimes, I’d just like the earth to swallow me.
I need a joke or a hug. 
Confusion is the name of the game
Posted by: baabols on: May 31, 2009
Yes. I remember a friend telling me that during our oblicon orals. She told me our professor said that while her classmate was doing her orals. When you look puzzled and whatever.
So that is the name of the game.
At least it’s a progress. Not so much of a big step. But it’s risky. I might once AGAIN lose it in the process. What the heck. I have only one life to live and I don’t want to regret anything.
Like what Soderling is pretty much doing at this moment. Go Soderling. Beat the crap out of Nadal.

Social Interactions
Posted by: baabols on: May 26, 2009
Small talks.
Well we all try to get to the point. But we just don’t seem to get there. As Ted would say, we have to weigh the temperature. We can’t simply dive in.
Sometimes small talks work.
But other times, it doesn’t.
The small talk becomes too long and lacks focus. Now it’s even harder to say what we had in mind at first.

Anyway, does anyone have a copy of “He’s just not that into you”?
Pppoker Face
Posted by: baabols on: May 6, 2009
Lady Gaga’s Poker Face is just one of the most wonderful songs being played today in the radio. The real version sounds too techie (meaning too synthesized and computerized–> artificial) but I like like the acoustic/piano version sung by Lady Gaga. There’s a lot of passion and texture in her voice. But anyway.
Poker face…Maybe I’ve been one for the longest time. It’s hard to be too emotional. It’s much easier to hide them, buried deep down inside. Only to be discovered 10 years later, when everything’s over. Or so we thought.
Oh I forgot to mention, I’ve been dying to see you.
Lol. I mean, 10 freaking years after, and that’s the only time I feel it again.

Update update: Got sunburns after my Iba, Zambales trip. I love the beach and the waves!

I hope to post a longer and a more grammatically correct blog entry next time.
