Manila Girl ..
The Bar Exams are getting closer at this time. And so, I was back to being a Manila Girl for two months.
I was happy with our place and the people I am with in Manila. We were a fun bunch so to speak. Don't get me wrong. We studied and we studied hard. But it does not mean that we were not allowed to enjoy as well. We had fun with our cooking show as well as our hirits (more hirits on their part) every now and then. I love the fact that our place was so accessible (though admittedly not that cheap!).
It amused me that they value my opinion. During review, they asked if we could go to Tutuban. I said I won't but it's ok if they go. They didn't.
They asked if I would want to watch "Up". I said not now but it's ok with me if they watched. They did not watch.
I really like the feeling that there was not much pressure on us. Probably, just enough pressure to keep us going for the bar exams but not too much that would make us panicky.
Everytime I get to see my batchmates around Manila, whether accidentally or intentionally, I get excited in the sense that there's a feeling of familiarity which I guess one needs during the bar exams.
And as promised to my dad, I took some review classes as well in Manila and I think it helped me nevertheless, considering that as I have mentioned, I am a classroom person. And I was happy that we get to have our sessions, not of the drinking kind.
Of course, there were some events that made me realize that the world does not stop even if the bar exams were coming up. Each of us had our own concerns while others had to deal with friends, family, life and even death.
I continue to get support from family and friends and I was so grateful thinking that there are a lot of persons praying for me.
In the end, I was grateful because I know and felt that God was with us every step of the way.
