Working full-time while raising a toddler and reviewing for the Bar was not easy.
I only studied at night while my baby is asleep. Most nights I’ll be awake from 10 PM–2 AM, then up again at 6 AM.
I failed twice but rose on the third attempt.
The hardest part was leaving my child for two weeks before the exams, the longest we’ve ever been apart. There were moments I wanted to give up, I cried every night, but remembering why I started and the people who believed in me kept me going.
It was exhausting. It was scary.
But God never left me.
I took a leap of faith, and He met me there.
Forever grateful for my family and friends, my support system since day one, who never gave up on me even when I almost surrendered, including my dear grandparents in heaven.
It truly takes a village to raise a lawyer.
This victory proves that if God gave you a dream, He will sustain you to achieve it, even if you stumble or fail along the way.
God’s timing is perfect. Never early, never late.
Not sure if it’s a coincidence, but the 7th has always been special: my child’s birthday and now the day I passed the Bar.
Trust the process; we all have our own timeline. ✨
Forever grateful,
1434 Atty. Ritchelle Amor Cabarubias Credo-Aguilar

BAR REVIEW MATERIALS
Been getting lots of DMs about my BAR review materials so I listed the ones I recall using.
Key takeaway: stick to resources you actually understand, finish them, and avoid switching around (if possible).
Wishing all future lawyers good luck and steady focus! 🥹⚖️🙏🏻

Flipping through my LMT notes and got hit with nostalgia. 🥹
I could still remember the exact lines I read during the exam… then boom!!! one question came straight from it (Remedial Law).
This is your sign: don’t skip LMTs. Use them as a supplement to your personal notes 😉📚

I honestly believe that one big reason I failed before was the way I structured my answers.
In the 2025 BAR, I made sure my answers had logic. I followed the ALAC format. I stuck to my answers and defended them (even when I knew some of my legal basis were shaky 😅).
Practicing Q&A + listening to tutorials on how to answer effectively made a HUGE difference.
@_8OraEtLabora Nagsasagot din po minsan. 😊 pero more of like nagbabasa talaga and ina-analyze ko paano format nung suggested answers, paano yung structure nya. Hehe
A peek into the desk setup of a WFH mom to a toddler, juggling work while reviewing for the 2025 Bar ✨
When I started law school in 2018, I resigned from my corporate job to focus on my studies. My then-boyfriend (now my husband) encouraged me to try working from home. I took on different WFH roles - project-based, hourly, whatever I could manage. He even bought me my first laptop so I could start.
Looking back, that decision changed everything. WFH didn’t just help me financially, it gave me flexibility, especially when I became a mom, and allowed me to make time for studying.
Just a reminder: working while studying/reviewing for the bar is possible. It all comes down to clear priorities and solid time management. ✨
