2012 : Of ups and downs.


2012. This year has not been that easy. My journey has been divided in both extremes. Super happy and super sad. I made a list of the unforgettable memories that I know I will learn from, whether these are good and/or bad.


1. Graduation. Psychology 2012.



  • This is the most waited part of all students who are in college. The final moment of reaping the fruit of hardships, pains and joys of studying. I can say it was a moving experience adding the fact of graduating with latin honor. I know I made my parents/family proud. Just like what I always wanted.

2. Law school.



  • I can still remember, when I was a child, I want to be a lawyer. I want to be different amongst my playmates since almost all of them were dreaming to become teachers or doctors. Time flies. There are already many lawyers. But, that did not stop from joining the legal profession. I am convinced that after graduation I will proceed to law school. Currently, I am in my first year (again!). Hihi.

3. University of Santo Tomas



  • I will never regret that I chose this university to continue my post graduate studies. Four or five years from now, I will become a Thomasian Lawyer. Keeping the faith! Studying the hardest!

4. JuanBee.

  • I am thankful that I belong to section 1B which we refer to as JuanBee. There may be misunderstandings, hatred, dislikes, happiness and the like but I know we are all striving to become lawyers someday.
  • We may not all graduate from the same school and on the same year or rather pass the bar exam on the first or second take but I believe that we will all be part of the legal profession. Our memories being members of JuanBee will forever be cherished.

5. New Friends.

Mean Girls with Atty. Rabuya
  • Bern. Kaye. Patty. KC. Gay. Teff. Justine. Fra. These girls kept and still keeping me sane despite the fact that law school makes us crazy most of the times. the story of our friendship is still in its second chapter. I cannot wait for making more chapters with them.
HAAAASSSSHHHHTAAAAGGG!!!
  • Dee. Rina. Chari (not in the pic). Meg. Janus. A tale of when people from Baguio try their luck in Manila. :) All of us are Louisians who decided to pursue our study in UST and SBC-Alabang.

6. Break-up
  • After almost 14 months, I decided to end my relationship with the boyfriend. It was one of the difficult decisions I made. He is made me feel almost everything yet I was still not content. It may be a cliche but the line "It was not you, it was I." is applicable in our case. I am thankful for all the memories we shared. Somebody, I hope we will be friends. 

7. Probation.
  • There is this rule in the UST Faculty of Civil Law that the students must be able to reach the specified General Weighted Average (GWA) to be able to stay in the said faculty. If you are not able to reach the GWA for a certain semester, you will be under probation. Meaning, if in the next semester, you still did not get the specified (GWA), you will no longer be allowed to enroll.
  • Unfortunately, I am under probation this second semester. I am doing my best to get good grades, really good grades this time. With my patience, perseverance and faith, I can make it!

8. Mom's successful operation.
  • Early this month (December 2012), my mom was diagnosed with Cervical Cancer Stage 1B. Her ob-gyne said she has to undergo major operation as soon as possible. A few days after, she was operated. Thank God, everything went well. And the biopsy show no sign of any cancer cells so she does not need to undergo chemotherapy or radiation. God is good, all the time!

9. Vigaaaaaaaan!

  • I have been dying to visit Vigan. Luckily, at Christmas Day, I was given the chance. A bit of hesitation yet I grabbed the opportunity. For me, this place is the most romantic place in the north. I am fascinated with the Spanish Culture (even if the treated Filipinos in not-so-nice-way. Sadly!). I will make another post about my Vigan trip when I have time. Soon. Really soon, I guess. Hihi
I cannot wait to my crazy adventures this 2013! *Cheers*
