Major Life Update- KULASA passed the 2024 Bar Examinations

fervently praying while waiting for the results

Hi there! In case you have been following this blog and stumbled upon my Law School Journey and my case digests, I am ecstatic to announce that we passed the 2024 Bar Examinations! Yiiiiii!!!! ahem, sorry could not contain my happiness which I believe is acceptable since barely thirty days have passed since the announcement on December 13, 2024.

So, expect this blog to be blasting with hmmm more case digests 😍. Promise, from time to time there will still be fashion posts and lifestyle sharing. In the meantime, I live my professional life inspired by God's amazing blessings. 

But, for starters, I have been meaning to make a long post on tips to passing the Bar Examinations so we could help others out there who have been painstakingly working on their most coveted title-Attorney. My journey however is unique since I also finished my Medical Degree and passed the Medical board examinations, let us say several years ago 😁. I'd love to type on and start that post but I have to park the keys for now and just type on about how truly grateful I am to the Almighty, my family, friends, mentors, classmates and blogger besties for helping me hurdle a difficult, challenging and mind blowing career examination. 

So cheers to the Letters in November lighting up many other minds onwards to their dreams! Promise, I will blog daily from now on (can you believe that? because I don't) 😇

With all humility and sincerity. 

Love,

Happiness is A Choice

In the meantime, I lounge around and enjoy life as it is. Yay! I finally have the time to blog, to sleep a complete eight hours, to watch Netflix on weekends and to meditate. I might even find the time to make case digests! haha

Happiness is a choice baby! People may wrong us, even the ones we love dearly but at the end of the day it is truly up to us to forgive and forget and what the heck! Life is too short to waste hating and regretting and crying. Wow! I am now officially a matured person hurray!

I doubt anyone is reading my thoughts here so blah blah I go wehehehe...

Anyway, my "message me" page is not working so should you be interested to chat you can always find me at my IG page. 

Ciao!  

So I've been busy....

Okay, so all work and no play makes one dull, 😜#OOTD #lawschooldramarama

Okay, so I have been busy, like crazily busy! I am currently joggling law school, an administrative job, my favorite roles -motherhood and of course "wifehood". So, I have not been able to update this blog (lame excuse?LOL)

But I bought a new laptap! Yay! so I can now blog more often at home like when my studies keep me restless and sleepy at the same time like now, haha! Above was this school's law school acquaintance party OOTD post on IG.

Hmmmm, due to desperation I cut that long hair weeks ago. Haha, no time to even comb my hair decently slash my mom caught my attention about looking extra thin already. So, the obedient child in me obliged. I'll let you see the result soon, promise haha.

I don't think I am making sense so pause I will and study again. Catch you later!

Ha ha! Weird title eh? Oh well, those who really know me deep down inside know that I am plain CRAZY. So how to be CRAZY ME?

TAKE CHANCES

I love going out of my comfort zone- not after a really long contemplation though. HUGE decisions before being made by ME are evaluated, rehearsed, over and over in this tiny space called my BRAIN LOL. Yet, take it from me, the best things in life do not happen unless you set yourself FREE from worry.

I love Pancake

Happy- Weekend! 😍 #breakfast

From time to time, I eat pancakes. I think that's what does the trick- I don't eat it for breakfast always so I don't get tired of it LOL. This was taken at a fastfood chain (guilty for not in a healthy resto that time) three weeks ago when the hubby and I bought some goodies from the city market. He did the purchasing, I did the watching LOL. Anyways, I am heart broken now. It may now show in my selfies but I am. It's just that I know how to count my blessings so I don't mess up work LOL.

As Of Late...

keeping the smile on 😀 #tooblessedtobestressed

Well, lately I've been quite distracted from work. The hubby is home. Hmmmm sounds like one huge distraction eh? LOL. There are so many things I learned in just a week. One of these is the value of family. Career, that's just a very small fraction of happiness for me. I can say I can even give it all up all in the name of family love. Well, that's just what life is. You win some, you lose some. You forgive and forget, you find peace. For now, I lay it all in God's hands. Sounds freaky? He he, I just want to keep myself sane. All in all, I still can say I am too blessed to be stressed and I thank the One Above for everything I was given without even asking.

P.S. I'll let you in on the story via an informative post- soon!- hope not to break that promise :)

Swamped

Gee, I think I may already sound obnoxious when I say am still busy as a bee. Yet such is the case! and these are the things I miss...

As Of Late

Well, sigh, as always I begin my oh too boring narration with a sigh. I wonder whether anyone would bother reading this anyway save for my BFFs who know who they are. I've missed writing my thoughts. Gone were the days when I could just be happy with a pen and a paper and a book. Life has become too demanding. Decision making has become tougher and sometimes I wish I could just be by the beach watching the waves. That's exactly where I'd love to be right now yeah. My body seems too lazy to even walk now though so blog I do. Tomorrow or the day after perhaps I could drive to the beach. What exactly do I love about the beach? Definitely not skinny peeps in bikinis LOL.

Healthy Living: Happiness is A Choice

     You bet, I am at the moment suffering, no suffering is too heavy a term, I am experiencing my monthly unexplainable, unwanted, unnecessary, irritating bout of loneliness. I know I am not alone in this mood. Yeah sure I am one of those people who could easily whip up a nice thing to say to chase one's blues away; I could be relied upon to listen to a friend's woes and even to a stranger's pains but like a normal homo sapien I too have my own periods of loneliness. So instead of just lying in bed and nurturing thoughts of sadness here I am chasing the blues writing, inspired by my twinzy Cher of Sweetmemoirs and wonderwoman friend Betchai of The Joys of Simple Life. Doing what one loves is a sure treatment to drown sorrow.

Healthy Living: Remembering The Good Old Days Dancing In the Barrio

This morning I was listening to songs while working. I have this small music box sort of thingy which plays songs on the go. It was a gift from the hubby. Hmmm can you call something which you saw at your hubby's office and asked to take home a gift? (silly grin) I don't know what it's called but it looks like this:

The hubby stored in its memory card songs that were popular during our ammm errr younger years. It made me think of those cold December nights dancing under the stars with someone on-stage playing tricks on everyone. I wonder what  dj packages could do these days to enhance the fun of playing songs.

 There used to be Christmas celebrations in every community on my side of the world where the youth would all eagerly participate and dance the night away. I remember sitting on the hall anxious and excited at the same time. When sweet music played, men and boys and those whose age fell in between would rush towards the girl of their fancy and ask to dance with them. I honestly hated dancing with men who smelled of beer and smoke yet was too courteous to refuse. I think men had to take gulps of beer to have the courage to ask us for a dance. They would then chew a thousand bubble gums and spray ounces of perfume in an attempt to make the liquor smell disappear. Oh what an ordeal!

One time a man with very long whitish hair took me to the dance floor. He was obviously drank and too old to be my partner. He actually looked like someone who came out of a fairy tale book, a combination of dwarf and ogre. Don't get me wrong, I am not a judgmental person. It was what he actually looked like minus the exaggeration. Out of respect I endured the agonizing minutes of allowing him to hold me by the waist and putting my hands on his chest. I could see my friends giggling in a corner and having a frenzy over my misfortune. He did not do anything malicious to me yet those minutes being physically close to a stranger gave me the creeps.

It felt exactly the opposite when the love of your life asks for your hand, takes it in his and leads you under the strove lights. Agree? Your heart would not stop beating too fast and it's dizzying to keep staring into his eyes. It  is as if he has superpowers and you are hypnotized. I know most of you are familiar with that feeling of wanting to be with a person FOREVER. Even when the music stops you'd be hearing a melody inside your heart and everything else in the world does not seem to matter. The only person you see is the one in front of you and the only voice you hear is his.

Oh the magic of dancing under the stars! It haunts me to this day.

I leave you with one song that defined my generation....or so I think :)

"and I pray, Oh my God do I pray, I pray every single day..."

taking a minute to pray for those who are hungry and sick

may your day be blessed...
