update

the wait has been long. too long in fact. the voluntary desistance from grabbing the computer and blogging my heart away has now come to an end. the red eye is gone, final exams are finally over, and the fever is low. yes, now i can blog.

reunion
three weeks ago (and yes, during that time when i had a flaming red eye, which wasn't so red thanks to the miracles of modern science), my brother and i attended an uncle's birthday celebration which became a reunion of sorts. i had fun talking with my second cousins. i couldn't believe i never got to know them growing up. 'twould have been great.

also during that time, i had my first great scare of the coming bar examinations. two of my cousins took the exam this year and everyone's eye is on me now, being the next in line taking the great leap. pressure. argh.

the celebration was held in gazebo royale (did i get this right?) in quezon city. apparently, it is where matet was married and where maja salvador had her debut. nice place. a quiet sanctuary amidst the busy city.

final exams
a week after that reunion however, whatever good will i have had since then already disappeared due to the always dreaded final examinations. not all was lost though.

poli law was great. if there is any subject which i can say i'm ready to take for the bar, it'll have to be this. very good foundation by father b and great review by sir jack. a total money's worth, hehe...

for persons, i have had a mistake which i have never ever committed in the four years that i've been in the law school. i inadvertently skipped a number which i'm sure i have an answer to. sayang ang 10 points! oh well, no use crying over spilled milk, right?

crim was disastrous. and nothing is left to be said. aaaaaah. (by the way, part of the reason why i messed up crim is that i've been sick since monday night. thank goodness for ker who took care of me during those two days. thanks ker!)

retreat
finally, if there is one thing that i've been looking forward to since i last blogged, it is the retreat that i'm having starting today. not only is it a silent retreat which i have never ever attended before, it is also, for me, a chance to reboot my system, remove all the unnecessary clutter which i have accumulated all these years, and reorient myself as to the path i'm heading. i so need this. with all the mental and emotional drama i've been having these past years in general and in the past months in particular, a breeze of cool and clear air will do me good.

yes, i'm ready for a new life. and i'm beginning now. i'm leaving for the retreat, guys, see you later. ;p
