It's indeed my month!

I passed! I finally have the ATTY. before my name. I feel happy, excited, nervous, ecstatic about what will happen for the next few days, months or years. Let me tell you first what happened the day before and the day itself of the big news. (this is going to be a long entry!)
24.5% only passed the 2009 Bar Examinations, 1,451 out of 5,903 examinees made it. You see, the 2009 Bar Examinations held on four sundays of September, two subjects in a day with 18 questions per subjects and with 3 at most sub questions each. My first day first subject was nerve wrecking. I couldnt even move my pen, as I try to analyze the question "Can the Congress pass a law changing Lupang Hinirang to Bayan KO as our National Anthem?", I knew the answer but my hands wont move. It was the scariest day of my life but as I started writing, the rest go on. The 2nd, 3rd and 4th or 5th (due to Ondoy) week was scary as well. I was actually thinking, that out of 5,903 examinees "Do I belong to the upper 20%?".. And Erwin said YES. He's my number one fan, hehe. As the day comes near the result week, I tried to pretend that everything will be okay and even pretended that I wasnt nervous at all.. Yes, I still have the 9 hours sleep every night!

March 26, 2010 --> It was THE day. I tagged along with Erwin, went to the gym, ran for an hour. That morning I told E to bring the laptop so I can hang out at Starbucks and spend the day with FB =). And of all the days, E forgot to bring his laptop. So at 1pm on the day of the results, I felt numb. So I decided i'll get myself "The Last Song" by Nicholas Sparks to kill time. At 2pm, I was already at Baclaran, prayed so hard like i've never haggled in my entire life, my feet were already numb from kneeling for like 4 hours!!! At 6pm, I picked up Erwin and went to Starbucks in MOA. I pretended reading again my book while Erwin kept on refreshing the SC website. He was actually giving me a heart attack! By 9pm, the results werent out yet and I was really starving so we went to Maxs MOA. By the time we finish it was already 10pm and Justice Nachura were already giving his speech about the percentage of the Bar Examinations. Erwin, with the help of SM Wifi was still glued at the SC website, and he kept quiet when the names started to download... He said he was still in letter A... then D... I wanted to start crying because no one texted me, no Congrats whatsoever, the SC is probably on letter R now.. I feel like the world is starting to collapse, exaggerated I know! But it was! And then in a split second.. My phone lit up!!! It was from my college/car pool friend GOLDA =) She said Congrats! For a moment there I could believe it so I called her up and asked her if I passed, she said yes... And I started crying in the middle of Maxs MOA, Erwin confirmed the news through my other friends. Thanks GOLDA! =)
After learning the news, I cried like I never cried before, I felt like I was going through something that only I could understand. The happiness that I felt was undescribable that I couldnt get a good sleep for two days =). I was happy I made my parents happy and the people who prayed so hard for me so THANK YOU =).
Thanks to Erwin for being there for 5 sundays, getting me to DLSU and picking me up, for the understanding during the time I was reviewing for the bar and for always telling me that "Failing is not an option for me!" Haha! I love you babe!
Thank you to everyone who played a big part on my success, my parents, the impakta/os, my T friends, my prayer warriors and my relatives =). YUP, TAKE ONE! =)

Okay so now, I have to look for a job!

Till next time!

my future depends on this month..

Oh yes.. March will be the most memorable month for me. Aside from the fact that Ill be a year older on the 23rd, the Bar Exam result will be announced! They say it will be on March 15, others on the 2oth but one thing is sure. The result will totally change my life! If I passed, look for another job then life goes on.. If I dont (Oh please NO!), review again then take the exam then life goes on. In that one result my life will change dramatically! Ive been constantly telling my friends that if I dont pass, I need their text messages LOL. Its pretty funny when you dont het a text when you fail =) But anyway, 17% only passed the 2009 Bar Exam so out of 7000+ examinees, only 1,033 passed the Bar =).

Dont worry, ill still post if I pass or flunked =)

Life goes on =P

I want to..

I want to cut my hair and have it dyed..
I want to leave the country the whole month of March and never to come back again =P
I want to tell myself that everything will fall into its own place...
I want to lose weight (which I am!)..
I want to leave town with Erwin and just have fun!

I am ranting again. I just want a normal day again and never to think of anything.. =(

Dont get me wrong, Im happy but I can't plan my future yet. I will. Soon.

Bagoong Club

I've heard so much of this restaurant in QC but me and Erwin haven't had the chance to try it out and to think its only a couple of houses away from Erwin's old apartment in Tomas Morato. So one time, in a bargain me and E had, told him taht we really have to try this resto or else Im the only person who haven't eaten at this place (exagg I know!).. So here goes.. (Excuse my Iphone pics, bad bad bad resolution!)






As usual, since Erwin doesn't eat BEEF, we ordered their famous Kare-Kareng Bangus, around 300+ pesos. Yummy! We had Pork Binagoongan in two styles, Crispy and Fried Liempo I think! I like the Crispy Pork more.. While waiting for the food, they'll give you Singkamas with Bagoong. Two kinds of Bagoong, spicy and the not so spicy one! Great Bagoong =)
We are not Dessert person but we had to get rid of that Bagoong after taste so we ordered their best seller dessert =). All in all I think we spent 700+ only. Not bad eh??? =)

Totally Recomended restaurant if you're somewhere in QC!!! =)

Call for Reservation coz they're always jam packed ---> 122 Scout Dr. Lazcano, Sacred Heart, Quezon City.

Just Another Day!

I am not a fan of Christmas, Yes its true, but just like the others I look forward on the thought that Id get to spend the day with my family, Christmas Party at the restaurant, see my crazy little cousins haggle through their ninongs and ninangs and fought their way up to reach their so-called quota. =P Me and my sister likes the Town Fiesta more than Christmas and Im much more excited for my birthday as well. Probably because im too old to enjoy the "mamasko" and instead ako yung "nagpapapasko". =) I know for a fact that it's HIS day, and yes I celebrate it in my heart, I mean everyday Im thankful for all the blessings we have received, for Erwin, for my relatives, for Erwins family and good health of my loved ones.. And yes, I do pray for my enemies too =).

But this 2009 Christmas is the most memorable to me (for now).. Last December 14, Mama has been confined here at the National Kidney and Transplant Institute. She complained about having stomach pains, she's been having that a lot and to ease the pain she'll contact the local nurse and have her injected Novane (Oh, yes ganyan ka addict Mama ko or better yet ganyan katigas ulos nya!). On NKTI, she was referred to Dr. Domingo, a gastro doctor, she was subjected to MRI lang.. and there it was, two stones on the way to pancreas and gall bladder. Papa insisted on having an operation and removing Mama's gallbladder, BUT Dr. Domingo insisted na wag na daw because the gall bladder was clear (or so he thought!).. So Mama had an ERPC (its a thing where you put a tube on the mouth and you get the stones). Sabi nila it was a success (kaya I headed to Boracay hehe) But on the third day, Mama was becoming weak and had difficulty breathing. Ayun na, from CT Scan, it was the GALL BLADDER thats producing the stones!!! Hay Naku, Papa had a fist! Galit na galit sya kay Dr. Domingo. And then the complications was there na, Mama had a weak heart so 80% chance to survive na the operation! 80% CHANCE!!! For a doctor to give a number, it is serious!

When they started the operation removing her gall bladder, I start texting my closest friends and relatives lang and ask for their prayers.. I didnt post a shout out on Facebook, Twitter, Multiply or even here! I did not announce it to the whole world.. Eh kasi naman some of my FB friends are not that close to me =).. I asked my friends for prayers.. And totoo pala what they say na when you're at your lowest point you'll realize who will help you the most.. You see, Mama is the strongest among us, the strongest among their family I think. Pag may problema she'll just shrug it off and move on! She can nag you for hours that you'll wish the floor will just eat you alive so when she blurted out na hirap na hirap na sya, it means she's giving up. I cried every day since the operation, I cried sa comfort room ng room ni Mama, I cried kahit na Im driving, I cried while talking to Jona while asa Philhealth ako, I cried while praying the rosary, I cried at night while Erwin comfort me, I cried while talking to Tita Dada.. But none of my family cried in front of Mama. After the success of the operation and her recovery period, I never haggled so much in praying...

To my relatives who prayed for Mama and visited her here in the hospital, Tita Baby, Tita Myla, Tita Sallie, Tita Fely, Tito Jun, Tito Michael, Tito Allan, Tita Noli, Tita Dada. Thank you for being there especially during the operation, it was a comfort seeing all of you na nanjan kay Mama.

Super thanks talaga =) Esp kay Allen for the updates! =) Kay Quince na sorry I didnt answer your call kasi bka umiyak lang ako hehe. May mga iba pakong tinext pero hindi na nagreply haha! Baka walang load or iba na number nila =)

Last but not the least, to HIM! To thee we give thanks! =)

I hate to wait especially when the waiting will be for like 6 months!

So for now.. work and try not to think about what will happen on March.
