This a a reminder to myself that I’m currently in a space of growth and gratitude. I need to embrace the uncomfortable in order to prepare myself for bigger things ahead.
I’ve finally decided to let go of my law books as part of my decluttering goal this 2025. Since my legal career appears to be heading towards banking, I probably won’t be able to use most of these books for my practice. I'm sure many law students will find better use of these.

I also spent 3 semesters teaching Legal English to law students, and I can also attest that this challenge really exists.
To our dear aspiring lawyers, law schools included the English subject(s) in the curriculum for a reason. Please don't take them for granted.
I spent an afternoon before Christmas to catch up with my law professor (who happened to be a two-time Bar Examiner). One of his key takeaways in the 2 previous Bar Exams is the fact that many examinees really struggle with English Proficiency 😔
I wondered if I was too old to go to law school.
I got rejected when I first applied for admission.
I was told I wasn't ready.
I doubted if leaving a well-paying job was worth the pursuit.
I was questioned for not going to the 'best' school.
I gave up time with family & friends.
I stopped playing the sport I love.
I failed a major subject.
I feared disappointing my parents.
I lost my scholarship.
I got delayed by one year.
I cried on the night before the first Sunday.
I was close to having regrets.
I waited with an anxious and worrying heart.
I PASSED.

Salamat Axl, ang omnipresent photographer and super friendly person ng UPM. You were definitely one of the unforgettable people sa college life ko. Pahinga ka na, at sana ay wala nang malungkot na araw kung nasan ka man. 😭
Daming mga nawalang dogs dahil sa putukan nung NYE. Good decision talaga na kinulong muna namin sa Happy sa CR. I hope the missing dogs find their way back home 🥺
Currently curating a “2023 wrap up” post for Caffea pero di ko mapost kasi kabi-kabila pa yung mga last minute orders na need unahin.
Not complaining, tho. Sobrang full ng heart ko for the support we’ve been receiving. Sana next year, ganito ulit. 🙏🏻🤗🥹
