December 2014, time flies...

It's been a year and a half since I started law school. Balancing working and studying had been hectic and kept me from blogging and writing fanfictions and original fiction. It's been an struggle but I find myself getting the hang of things. Some of my classmates blog their digested version of the cases we have tackled in class in their blogs. This made me think, why not do it as well? It'll keep my blogs updated and could help other working law students as well.

I think I'm quite confident with my analysis and summarizing skills. Though i'll probably put a big disclaimer like: "Use as reference at your own risk" or something.

Oh well, this the Christmas season and for some reason I don't feel christmassy yet.

But for what it's worth, Happy Holidays!

It’s June, baby!

I can’t believe we’re halfway through the year. I won’t be surprised if I wake up one day to realize that it’s the Christmas season once more.

Last May was an eventful month for me. I passed the PUP College of Law entrance examinations, which means that starting June 17, I’m officially going back to school. I’m a little nervous as it’s been eight years since I’ve been considered a student. I have a lot of catching up to do.

Wish me luck!

How’s everyone’s week so far?

Hope you all have a fun and blessed weekend. (“,)

taking a break...

...from writing for a moment. I need to finish this 15k word story by tomorrow night. The deadline is one week from posting, which in my case is on the 1st of September, US CST time (so that'll be around 1pm Manila time on September 2). I'm currently at 6344 words and counting. I'm confident i'll be able to reach the required word count before noon tomorrow. The mods did say they just need the final draft, not the edited version, so whatever I finish writing, i'll be sending over, to heck with the grammar and spelling mistakes.

Okay, so I guess i'm done with my break now.

Back to writing. Ta!

2010 and the year so far...

I know this is quiet late but what the heck! I might as well give it a shot since almost everyone did it. No harm in joining the bandwagon.

Year 2010 had been a great ride for me. It was a series of trials, happiness and anything in between. I'm grateful that although there were some financial difficulties, I was still able to overcome the trials I faced. Getting a part time job helped a lot and learning to finally handle my finances well made things better.

Of course, joining writing fests helped relieved my stress, so I guess i'll be joining more of these. It's great that I get to practice my writing skills and relax at the same time.

I am uncertain as to what 2011 will bring for me. I'm already feeling some disturbance in the peace at my workplace. But I know and believe that just like last year, I can weather all storms that life throws my way... with a little help from my family and friends.

Happy 2011! Here's to a prosperous and hopefully stress free year for all of us! Cheers!

HP7

This movie's my favorite so far. The way the scenes were executed... the casts' acting... even the way it ended was quite good if I had to compare it to the other HP movies. It was a breath of fresh air seeing Ron acting more mature, Harry deciding for himself and Hermione more in touch with her emotions. And of course, watching Draco, Lucius and Narcissa having second thoughts at the presence of Voldemort at their home - my heart went out to them - especially when Lucius handed his wand over to his master. Voldemort and Bellatrix's performance still gives me the creeps! Hedwig and Dobby's deaths absolutely made me my eyes misty. And Peter Pettigrew's dungeon scene made me laugh. =)

Even though there were some scenes in the book I wish he'd included as well I still give two thumbs up to David Yates. It was really hard to make the movie at par with the book and at the same time correcting previous directors' mistakes. My sister's eyes were glued to the big screen the entire movie duration and I was surprised that she actually understood the goings on even if  she haven't read one book from the series. Quite the opposite when we watched HP6 where she spent the whole time asking me for things she can't understand.

On a lighter note, the slasher in me can't help but wish during the Malfoy Manor scene for Draco to lean forward just a bit more and just kiss Harry! I can't help but ask my companions if they thought the scriptwriter was a closet slasher teehee! The movie had a lot of fodder for the slasher mind you know. Bill/Harry at the beginning when Fleur polyjuiced as Harry had a moment with Bill while they rode a dragon. Ron going after Harry outside the Burrow... oh well, not complaining.

And a lot of scenes involving Dan Radcliffe with his shirt off - *drools* - enough said.

Can't wait for the last movie to hit the big screen!

That said, how's everyone's weekend?

I thank God...

...for the smooth first day of online teaching. Two and a half hours of my three hour shift sched was reserved today. I barely had time to drink water, but it was fun so who am I to complain? I hope to get more fun lessons in the coming days =)

Fight!!!

Nervous

I'm starting my part time job tomorrow. It's online teaching, i'm really nervous 'coz I never expected to get a student as early as my first day. Whew! Wish me luck! =)


Fight!!!

How do you...

...write a 15k story in 7 days? I'm a really bad procrastinator... Someone should stop me from joining writing fests and help spare me the anguish of wracking my exhausted brain for plots and scenes. *head desk*

is it just me?

Or is something wrong with blogspot? I can't see my posts using the proxies. I'm a noob at this so yeah I might need a little help.

first post

I finally have the chance to update this blog after signing up almost two months ago. I don't know what to do as of the moment but I might upload some of my pics from my Macau vacation. I feel like an idiot posting when no one's following me lol! Later!
