BACK & BEYOND *

I'm back!
2009

I left bcos I was too depressed to even care. Everyday people asked me when I'm coming back... why I've stopped... blah blah. The sweetest thing I ever said was "Wala lang, ayoko na eh". It was a bitter pill to swallow. I had to deal with "Sayang naman" dramas every single time. Ako naman yung nag-lawschool hindi naman sila. Ako naman yung napagod. I hate being asked why.

So finally after 8 months, I can say I'm back. At the same time last year... I knew I was feeling like this - TAE. But everything's way better now! May 2008 was TAE! I'm pulling my act together this time.... doing things MY WAY. It should have been this way eversince but I was just scared to do it. I knew following someone's footsteps was easy until I figure how to do it my own. I like hiding behind shadows bcos it's always easy that way.

I am still grateful. Thank YOU that I've learned the following:
1) Lawyering is not everything.
2) It's okay to quit. Sometimes it's okay to be a loser.
3) Chaos is always beautiful. In between those sleepless nights, cryo-fests over bad recitations and bad exams, piles of cases I never finished and random brouhahas I found INSPIRATION.
4) Alcohol is your best and worst friend at the same time.
5) Give yourself time to grieve.
6) Bounce back! (at your own pace and when you're ready)
7) It's okay to let go.
8) Everything happens for a reason although you may not always know what it is.
9) Have faith and always believe in yourself.
10) Never ever let other people put you down.

Kasi kailangan ko lang ilista bago ko makalimutan ito. Hehe

I still can't believe it... pero baka ito na nga yun.
