My 2007

Better late than never!

I have always been blessed and I have always been thankful for that. 2007 is no different.

Of course, there would always be changes, first time experiences, "what the" moments, frustrations. That's just life!

I turned 26th in 2007. 26 years in the making .. and I am still in the making ... haha! But it has been great 26 years.

Conflicts of Law, our intramurals, was awesome. Why not? Kami ang champion eh! Being in the moment, taking those pictures and videos, participating in some games and just being a part of it. And our victory parties! Lingaw! I guess it became more meaningful since new friendships were formed.

Valentine's day? Of course, I celebrated with a whole lot of classmates. We ate dinner and sang our hearts out. It was fun, fun, fun!

Exams? They were everywhere, just like all those election posters for the May election. During our last few exams, we also made time to eat out somewhere just to ease our minds. I had the most difficult exam in law school. And this was in Social Legislation. I was really looking at the ceiling, praying for answers. I got 63 in that exam. Just enought to have that 76 grade in Soc Leg.

Modesty aside, I was ever so thankful because I get to top some exams. That is definitely one of those 2007 stuff that I am truly thankful. But somehow, I cannot hide my sadness when I heard I had some friends who did not pass some of their exams, or their subjects for that matter.

This was also the year I first exercised my right to vote!

New classmates, new teachers, same old routine of recitations and exams. Haha!

Third year, first semester has been my busiest semester ever. We had recitations for our Lab Rel exams and I had to take care of our transcriptions. Nevertheless, I just had enough stuff to handle, not much, not less.

I became a jetsetter in September! I got to go to Manila twice in a month for the bar exams. I was happy to experience it before I get to take the bar exams. It was nice to help out, too and meet new people. I sure had some lack of sleep, but what the heck .. minsan lang to.

I got to see Elliot Yamin up close and really waited for him for an hour at Glorietta for his "free" concert. It was all worth it, kahit ako lang mag-isa. And believe me, since I do not want to waste time, I read Partnership while waiting amidst all the crowd hovering over me since I had a pretty good seat.

I also had my close to closure with my Ryan-Juday issue .. haha! No kidding! I saw Juday in person and she was indeed pretty. I saw Ryan too but I wasn't all that mesmerized maybe because I had too much expectations or because Juday was really pretty!

It was also great since I get to hang-out a bit with my friend Maia and Jan. I also got to see and chat for a while with a few friends from my former office.

September did not really end great for me because our beloved Dean died. He was already staying in the hospital for months but I was still so sad when he left because I know I could have learned more with him around and I would have loved that my friends also get to experience being his student.

And then my grandfather died. Another sad event. I miss him already but I know he is OK and was ready for it.

Second semester started and we still had exams pending for our first semester. Nevertheless, the quest for learning continues to go on.

There were frustrations and disappointments but I have moved on.

I also attended a beach wedding which was really nice!

I was almost burned-out and needed a break from all the routine stuff I was doing. Good thing that Christmas was just around the corner!

Our class party was fun!

Our HS reunion, make that 2 reunions, were awesome!

Being with family during Christmas and New Year was special!

Here's looking forward to 2008!
