Encounter

Tonight as I was searching for my criminal procedure cases, a question runs through my mind if I should continue law school or not. I tried to contemplate.

While doing this, I browse through my facebook. I saw some pictures of my college and high school classmates. I spotted smiles, beautiful places and successful people. Some of them are traveling abroad twice or thrice a year and traveling within the Philippines as often as they can. Some are already working abroad and are on the climax of their career. I can even conclude that everyday for them is a celebration of success. I felt a little bit insecure so I close my facebook and was trying to focus on my own venture. I went back searching for the cases that I need to complete. But it’s hard to focus and was asking again my self if I should really continue law school or grab a possible good career opportunity.

I am a working law school student and I do not enroll full load units every semester. I have a career; I can still travel in domestic area more than thrice a year but seldom with international flight. I am trying to balance my career, my school and my personal life. But there are times that I feel like breaking down into pieces. When people would ask me how I balance my career and my law school. I feel like “WOW” it’s really a hard question to answer.

I sacrifice so many things because of this path that I take. I decided to leave the possible chance of a good career. I cancelled so many trips and I missed so many fun nights with friends. I hardly had a time to take a date, to join a club and to even reward my self of an 8 hours sleep.

Law school is a battle. You need to be prepared physically, mentally, emotionally and financially. There are even times that you loose your self-respect especially when you cannot answer for an oral recitation. While during the time that you are almost out of energy, you feel so emotionally unstable and you cannot help but cry, get angry and scream for unexplained feelings. I thought these experiences are so weird but when I shared this to my law colleagues, I felt composed as they confessed that they are also experiencing such unbalanced emotion.

So I ask my self again? Should I fight back or get out of the battle? I tried to ask my self so many times and until now I cannot find any answer.  Maybe I just have to go with the flow now and do the best that I can. I hope someday things will fall into pieces. 

Sarah's look for the day

This girl love fashion and she really makes an effort to look chic and fashionable in the office. So I asked her if I could take some of her photos during her free time. And just this afternoon, she allowed me to share her look for the day in my blog. I took some of her photos below.
Fabulous smile wearing a pink lipstick and light make up.

She posed like a model!wearing orange new cover , a denim leggings, stretchable belt and accessories.
Her wedge shoes by Tracce is amazing.

Just realized that blue nail polish is a good match with an orange top.
Sarah proves that everything does not come with a brand. Sometimes all you need to know is how to mix and match everything. And of course, you need to wear it with confident.
Thank you Sarah for sharing your look for the day =)

Before summer ends

Hey Guys! It's May 29 and summer is almost done. And I realized that I have not really experience the hot of summer. I've been so busy doing a lot of stuffs that I forget to visit the beach or go into a vacation. I know ! I know ! being busy is not an excuse because beaches here in Davao are only 10minutes away that's why before the class starts I decided to join my friends for 1 day pool get away at D'leonor resort. Even if I really prefer beach than a pool, I still feel excited because D'leonor is different from other resort, it's really far from the City plus and it has many amenities as shown in their website. They said the resort is quite expensive compared with other wave pool but I'm looking forward that it will be all worth it.

I promise to post photos and share some of our experiences there. I'm excited and I hope it would be great! 

How about you what’s your plan before summer ends? Feel free to comment below =)

 

At 25

What makes me bother now days is my age. I feel that I’m not getting anymore younger but there are still a lot of things that I want to accomplish. Right now, I know I am happy but how about 5 years from now? Can I still say that I am happier than I am today?

I’m 25 years old working as an Operations Manager to a Retail and Merchandising Company and at the same time a 2^nd year law student.  Working and studying at the same time is not easy, it takes a lot of patience and courage to go through with it. I am happy of what I am today and I always take things positively. In spite of the stress and busy schedule, I always inject happy thoughts and motivation. I also make out to give time to my family, friends and love life. I feel that I am a super woman and really strive to balance everything like I always did. Just this past few days, I observed that some people at my age are very busy getting married, getting pregnant or planning of having a baby. Lucky enough, I belong to a circle of friends who are all single. Although, I must admit that I can still feel a little pressure of the need to settle down soon. But Hearing stories like building their own houses, the expense of getting married, the responsibility of having a child and the need to live away from their parents gives me a head ache.

I am not saying that I want to be single forever but I feel that I am not ready for such commitment. I believe that I still need to explore more and enjoy the life of being single before entering into something so serious and forever. But do you think we need to plan the future?  For me, I feel that I have to leave it all behind, I want to go with the flow and continue making a history. Anyway, life is too short I might be planning of something that I may not anymore experience. So let us live today and be happy! =)

Zumba dance workout

I always want to be fit and healthy. One of my new year's resolutions is to go to the gym on a daily basis. But because of my hectic schedule, I was not able to do so. Luckily, the company that I'm connected with is offering free Zumba dance workout to all women employees. I join the class and I am doing it twice a week after office hour every Wednesday and Friday at around 6pm to 7pm. It feel so good and it's very relaxing plus I don't have to pay for it (thanks MMC). My Zumba-mate are also my co- workers so I am really encourage to leave my work at end of day and do the zumba dance workout.  Our dance instructor, Corbett, is also very good and witty, he helps us to push our self to dance more and sweat more. I have already attended 4 sessions and I’m looking forward to join the next session. 

 Part of our Zumba workout dance is stretching and cooling down exercise. Here's one of my favorite =)

How about you? Are you now ready to party yourself into shape?

New Hair Cut for Hot Summer

It's summer time and I can really feel its heat.

Few weeks ago I had a dilemma of whether having a new hair cut or not. I was really happy with my long hair but I also feel that it does not anymore fits the season. So I decided to had my hair cut @ Oro touch Salon.

I don't know if I look good in this new hair but I need to love it because this is the new me =)

How about you? what's your summer hair look like?
