Law School Diaries: The Morphing of a Nerd Specie

I've never encountered such a bloody exam even at the peak of my geek life. I am talking about my first statutory construction, T/F right minus wrong, examination last Wednesday. I don't know if I passed that one, I hope so. However, I am fueled to level up my efforts... no surrendering! 

There is no escaping law books, jurisprudence and scra...

..during long travels

...quick stop for dinner

... until unholy hours... ahm 4:00 am?

...death? 

Oh Lord! Please make Monday a holiday. I find 24 hours too short for all the books that I have to read. If you can't grant my wish, I appeal, make me smart instead. 

School Bag, Anyone?

Let's start from the front pocket. 

#receipts

#Mary kay coupon. Free beauty spa anyone?

#Rosary-been praying a lot lately. LOL

#neon memo note-for random stuffs that I need to remember

#Nail Polish- for touch-up necessity 

Back Pocket

#keys and USB

The main storage has the following pouches:

#pen case with couple of pens/sharpies

#paris pouch with random school necessities like my class cards, ID photos, pencils, erase, sharpener, class schedule, sticky notes, and index cards.

#vanity pouch 

Most of my classes end at 9:30 PM therefore I have to bring light snacks with me: a bottle of water and cookies. I also have my glasses and my low tech phone stored at the big compartment. 

 #notes and dictionary

#mini wallet and fragrance sachet

Finally, my ipad where I store most of my reading materials, case briefs and the like. 

Wonder where I store my books? Well, I hand-carry them every single freaking day.

Random Snaps

# I missed my worn out jeans.

#Breakfast in bed

#Oh that hair! Envious

#Baby steps for success

#Case briefing is eating a huge amount of my time.Basically, it is making a lengthy story fit a piece of 1/4 sized  scratch paper. 

#four regular coke floats please

One Rainy Night

I am glad I never exerted an effort installing frames on my room for they will all be set in vain. 

Rainy nights should be spent snuggling at the same time glancing what's written on my wall. 

This is going to be the longest night ever.

My Classmate Is a Celebrity

Arrghh! I am struggling to put my emotions into words. I am staring at my laptop for about an hour and I just couldn't put together the proper words to constitute my opening sentence. (constitute? Dang law school wants me to talk like a lawyer!) The thing is, I am very excited to blog tonight because I have something to brag about. Yes, BRAG! you heard me right. Guess what? I have a celebrity classmate. Holy Camoly!!!!! 

Sad to say, I can't reveal his identity just yet. I need to ask for his permission.. you know, ethics... yeah.... aspiring lawyers do practice that. He is awesome brilliant and a mere shaking of hands with him is like shopping at cloud 9. And TAKE NOTE he recognizes me... as the lady in gold gown from the Phoenix Petroleum Phil event last December. Ow? People like him remember someone like me? Super kilig ako. (ako ay sobrag kinilig: I know this is the proper way of saying it but WTH, Super kilig ako is way modish.) Well, Don't get me wrong... this is not the intimate kilig, ok? I am just humbled my the mere recognition especially from someone as influential like MP. Manny Pacquiao? LOL.

However, when I get to analyzed why he recognized me... well, the reason is quite obvious. Who would forget an epitome of Cebuana Luilier??  I was like a walking pawnshop that night with all the gold sequins and diamond studs from my gowns. Faux diamonds to be exact. Haha! Ok, to save you the trouble of imagining

here is the photo.

I know you will agree with my analysis. Whatever la, I just feel  ecstatic tonight. 

One more thing, I am quite confused why my classmates start laughing every time I get a chance to talk. 

Am I funny? Please let me know because I don't have the slightest idea if I am. I know it is too early to conclude but I have this gut feeling that I will fall super madly deeply in love with my new circle of friends. 

Hmmm.. what else? Ah yes... 

Remember how my friends tease me because of my heavy bags? I don't know how they will react if they see my box full of law junkies. Kasama pa snacks! haha! Haay buhay.... I don't know what I got into but I have this gut feeling (again) that I will be a lawyer, if not a cool/single/rich lawyer. 

Finally, before I say au revoir for my rather late dinner, let me extend my gratitude to JTE for the wonderful pictures he uploaded in his site and for the kind words as well. If you want to see more photos visit JTE. 

Thank you lovies for always stopping by. TTYL!

This is what I'm wearing for school today. I have two major subjects to combat and I am praying fervently that the Lord Jesus Christ will send forth His holy angels and fill my brain with  knowledge from civil and criminal laws. If praying won't do me good... I might have to change my method into "intimidation" (psych definition), bring out my nerd glasses, button up my blouse... refer to the photo below

appear genius, nod constantly (as if I understand a word or two), and just pray instead that I won't be called for a recitation. I will let you know if this is effective. 

TTYL!

Manic Talking-Haul-Father's Day!

Tada! Introducing the best tee in the whole wide manic world. Read: SORRY BUT I'M THE QUEEN.

I spent my weekend looking for law books, "corporate attire" staple items, and a bunch of fun in between. After my usual Saturday transactions (depot-bank-grocery), I went for a quick frappe session with my psych group. For me, ending a stressful week could either mean shopping or chikahan with friends. I am glad I had both this time. 

Girls at the usual spot: Cafe Demitasse

Oye papi, if you like it mocha.

Meet the newest member of psych '07, BABY LUNA! 

Failed attempt at parenting 101. Go give me that terrified look.

Back to School Haul

#Law books, loads of fillers, papers and pens.

Pens and filler notes are color coordinated. 

#Desktop Agenda for my assignments and readings.

#Gigantic Box for book storage. I will place this on my car and have my books with me wherever the hell I go. 

Gorgeous! Original price P1400 but I got it for only P499. There's a huge back to school sale almost everywhere. 

Couldn't pass on this one. Denim+floral skirt= P280. Good buy!

Now to the boring yet almost expensive stuffs. Dang!

OOTD/OOTN on how to pull a life out of these plain pieces... coming soon! 

Lastly, I bought my father a present for father's day. It's the Pajama bottom... LOL! 

Men's shirts are deceiving. It fits both XS and XL. Do I look cute?

Happy Father's day to the most amazing father in the UNIVERSE! Yes, marsians and other aliens are included in the comparison. YOU ROCK PAPA!
