A Moment with a Law Student

Posted on January 26, 2012 by lifein

I met up with my high school classmate and friend A at McDonald’s Mendiola for some bonding time last night. If I’m not mistaken, the last time we saw each other was two years ago. She’s busy with law school and I’m preoccupied with many things (too many to mention, haha). It was a short but sweet meeting, we talked and laughed a lot. We also learned a lot of updates on each other.

A is now on her third year in law school and during most of our talk, she bombarded me with horror stories about a law student’s life. It’s ironic because she was also quite persistent in convincing me to walk the same path. That’s mainly because both of us, including our other friend L, wrote “lawyer” as our ambition in our high school yearbook. Funny, noh? Haha.

Angels on Earth

Posted on January 25, 2012 by lifein

Do you believe in angels? If yes, do you know that there are angels on earth living among us? By angels, I don’t mean the metaphysical ones. They’re human beings, like you and me, who have the unique gift of touching and impacting other people’s lives effortlessly.

There’s this new friend of mine that I consider as one of my angels on earth. She’s double my age but she knows how to connect with me, how to reach my innermost thoughts without even trying. She’s like a mother, a friend, a stranger who could draw and sustain my attention simply by opening her mouth and giving words of wisdom to me.

Divisoria Wedding Gowns

Posted on January 24, 2012 by lifein

The fiancé and I were in Divisoria yesterday celebrating the Chinese New Year together with the maddening crowd canvassing gowns and suits for our upcoming wedding. After checking out several shops, we finally settled on a shop that gave us the best value for our money. I was quite ecstatic because we got a good deal and the price we paid for the whole package was lower than our estimated budget.

Indeed, you can find everything in Divisoria. Aside from it’s custom-made merchandise like the gowns and the suits we ordered, it has a wide variety of items sold by piece or in bulk. My eyes got tired drooling on so many products, from funny shirts and serious outfits (no pun intended) to cheap accessories and unique home decors.

Long Weekend Plans

Posted on January 20, 2012 by lifein

Long weekend plans? Seriously, I don’t have any. At this point in my life, all I wanna do is take some rest whenever I can. I cherish my ‘me time’ moments and look forward to spending more time with myself doing some things that I’ve long wanted to do but don’t have the time to actually do them.

I have a thousand and one tasks that need to be accomplished with respect to my upcoming wedding. I have tons of things to do with my blogs (I’ve been neglecting most of them lately). I have weekly tasks in the office. I have on-call duties at my part-time work. I have familial responsibilities to attend to. Plus, I have to take care of myself to look good on my big day (which I think is the most important thing of all, haha).

Do You Make a Checklist?

Posted on January 19, 2012 by lifein

I usually don’t, but when it comes to big tasks that need careful planning and attention, I do. Let’s admit it, checklists are very important to keep us focused and organized when preparing for something, say a big event or activity. We cannot afford to miss out on the important details just because we’ve forgotten about it. We have to remember them, and remembering them means having to list them all down on paper. Or in this age of technology, in our tablet or laptop.

For my wedding, I decided to make a checklist of all the things we need to do. I listed down everything both on paper and in my desktop. I like the organized look of Excel and how easy it can be edited. At the same time, I like my personal handwritten updates and corrections on paper. I dunno with you, but I don’t get confused working on both media.
