back and beyond

i had fun last friday. despite the gnawing rumbling of the impending midterm examinations, i was able to take a break, relax a little, and enjoy good food and music in one bar in makati. to top it off, i was in good company--new, but good. i think such company is well on its way in becoming a great one. what a fantastic way to jump start the new year.

and speaking of the new year, i am on the verge of embarking on a new journey myself. that is, after i hurdle my last midterm and final examinations in the law school! tingnan mo nga naman, ang bilis ng panahon. it seems not so long ago when i have been complaining about my first couple of midterm exams. now, i'm about to finish it all. cool, but still, scary. this means of course that the bar is just a stone throw away. less than ten months of revisiting and remembering all that i've learned in the law school. whew. it is, by far, the most daring feat that i am to breast in my academic life. it is the pinnacle, if you must, of those long years of preparation. argh. needless to say, i will need all the support that i can get.

i'm sure my family will be there, but i will have to ask pardon, as early as now, for i will be conspicuously absent in any and all of our family gatherings until after the bar. the same goes with my friends. except for those who i'll be occasionally seeing while reviewing in the law school, i think i will disappear even more than i already had these past four years. argh, the pains of striving in life.

but then again, i'm getting well ahead of myself. i need to focus on my last midterms first, don't i? one step at a time, i suppose. i'll get there soon enough. but for now, i gotta write my elements notebook. later guys, au revoir.
