The Joy of Living
The Joy of Living…
Who says we really can’t survive life without a special someone? Whoever idea’s that, he or she is pathetic. Pathetic to the people around. Apathy is today’s malady. A serious one indeed.
I must say, i have learned to live life independently. Away from the "dictates" of my loving mom or brother. I feed my own self, style my own self and even find means to actually survive a toxic day. I must not say i don’t miss them, i do. But i believe there are more important things to do than miss everyone- Live life the way you feel it.
I truly vouch that in order to be matured, we must have that "space" to grow and solidify our existence. Sure there could be mean people around, but life’s like that, just let them do whatever it is and let karma do the teaching.
Speaking for a twenty-year old generation is a heavy feat. Proving that life has generous surprises for me, i make sure i don’t miss it. I try to follow the dictates of my mind over heart and i am ok. ok is the real sense of everything, despite the adversities that come my way.
Meeting people is a tool to expand one’s horizon’s. Just be ready if it turns out that these people are nothing but nuts. It will make us strong. Just do not compare yourself with others, for you may feel vain and bitterness. Anyhow, i do not see the point why we should read beauty magazines, sure it makes us feel ugly, don’t you think?
Lastly, to attain peace of mind is to be yourself minus the influence of this society. The joy of living can be found in every person we meet. The strangers we talk to or the clients we care about.
I have learned not to miss my boyfriend though, but i know he understands and missing him is another story.

Being successful doesn’t necessarily mean you don’t have the time in this world for relaxation and a little of this life’s pleasures. I thought everything has equilibrium. just a check and balance once in a while to decipher whether to err is nothing but a natural human characteristic that’s truly inevitable.
to be continued.. have to attend my class now.

Lifestyle for most law students are different. Real different. With the goal to become a full-pledged lawyer someday, we try to manage carefully whatever resources we have. Toxicity is a common by-word but giving up is never an option.
Living up to the expectations of our school is a feat we all must strive to belong. Tomorrow, i must say is our 1st day of classes. Mixed emotions envelope me. I have to prepare for the worst, yet i don’t know where to start. Yes, i have been constantly reading my civil law codal but it’s just a part and parcel of the next big thing.
Following the socratic method of classroom discussion, we don’t get to ask questions to our demi-god professors. That’s a big no-no. 40 cases a week is not a big joke either. Considering that i’m working, challenges are normal. I hope i can contain these hurdles.
Im glad i belong to the first among equals law school in this side of metro manila. I have yet to embrace the culture without a frat to guide me. I thought reading is the only option i have to survive. To read, read and read is what i must do.
In times where i feel nobody’s here to guide me, i look at my books and say, hey, i’m not alone after all.
True enough, lawyering is a serious profession, a jealous one indeed. For now, i have to study hard and make it to the Order of Flaming Arrows, an honors society granted to those who love law above all things.
