[RANDOM THOUGHTS : 2009 AND 2010] [Pick the date]

I was planning to make a year-end and new year entry. But I wasn’t able to function

properly in the past days so this one came a teensy weensy bit late. ;P

Anyweeeh…

2009 did not totally love me back.

There are things which I am thankful for and things which if only, should not have

happened at all.

*Early in the year, I was blessed with tons of school work and activities for the

diplomatic corps. AlhamduliLLAH we all survived juggling thesis and org work.

*I graduated and earned a diploma for my parents, AlhamduliLLAH, period, haha,

what a short statement for a very important event (wala na ko kabalo unsa ako

isumpay, hehe).

*I was able to hug and cuddle all my baby cousins from Saudi and they are all justso adorable. MashaAllah! InshaAllah, we all will see each other again.

*I passed a national exam. AlhamduliLLAH!

*I cried over my condition. The crybaby in me grew worse and worse by the minute.

But somehow I am thankful for the pills because they never fail to give me a deep

and peaceful sleep.

*I grew an obsession that if I do not eat anything sweet for a day, I will not be

happy.

*I learned to satisfy my dream of working for NGOs (a dream which I have to put

aside because I need to help my family first) by befriending Leomer of DVSoria. If

you happen to meet him, he loves chocolate donuts at Mister Donuts. As much as

possible, please don’t give them money; they only use it to buy rugby (it makes

them hungry less often).

*I made it a habit to update my bank account as much as possible (as if they’re

growing that fast, haha) so I could manage my finances better. Boo recession.

I received special treatment from the bank guards, not letting me wait and fall in

line to get to the teller, because (get ready) they thought I was pregnant. This I

think is the funniest thing that happened to me last year :D

Mygulay. I’m so sorry guard, I really just eat too much. And I’m not that confident

about my tummy so I wear all these airy tops. :D

*Heard intrigues involving me, got crazy questions and accusations thrown at me,

somehow, I survived through Allah’s guidance and through Sabr. AlhamduliLLAH.

Some issues are not settled yet and hopefully I will not be continually judged based

on what people hear or see. In time, hopefully we shall all be at peace with each

other. InshaAllah!

*I was rejected on my first job interview.

*I tried and kissed asses looking for a job.

But lo and behold, my efforts ended up with nada.

*And by first week of June, I found myself enrolled in Law school.

My brain and pride received their first whiplashes on my admissions interview.

And it received more torture on the weeks that followed.

Despite the entire rebel raging inside me that was against being in such place, I was

surprised by how I have not given up.

Honestly, my being in Law school is perhaps the first thing in my life which I have

not done out of passion. Should I have concentrated on Shariah, then maybe I’ve

been happier. (here I go again with maybe’s and what if’s. Sigh. I should cut less of

this this 2010.)

Up until now, I’m still trying to understand why I should take all of this crap

seriously.

Other than the fact that I am hopeful that should I ever become a lawyer someday

(InshaAllah), I will be able to help and give pride to this family (Allahumma Ameen)

—which I think is a strong enough reason for me to continue pursuing my goal to

pass the bar—my deaf ears to all those who tell halfhearted souls like me to go out

of law school.

Until then that my love for the law will blossom and find its way to my heart, I

resolve to keep trying my best to survive Law School. Bismillah!

*Trying my best to earn now aside from saving, kahit pandagdag allowance lang.

*2009 did not end well and the burden carried on as 2010 was ushered in. I have

found it hard to even greet anybody a happy new year because it was the contrary

for me.

The worrywart in me is still in a panic and I can’t seem to calm myself down. My

hopes right now include for our classes to at least delay at least 3 days more so I

could calm myself down (mura kog unsa ka importante nga ipadelay man jud ang

klase, hekhek).

However, I pray, inshaAllah, that everything will be alright, accepted and everyone

be at peace with each other, Ameen.

*AlhamduliLLAH also that our family is still together; it’s not an easy life, definitely

not a well-heeled one, but we are still together and trying to keep the faith for

better tomorrows.

For 2010, I bring with me prayers, memories of good cheers and good souls and the

resolutions of

… less time on facebook (I’m so sorry facebook, but you really are addicting and

you are taking so much of my time and I don’t want to fail my subjects and then

blame it on you because I love you that much, blah blah, haha) and more time on

my law books <--so if you see me online on a school night, DO reprimand me.

…and as always: study hard, pray hard, be good and then be happy.

Hi 2010! I think I welcomed you a teensy weensy bit (yellow polka dot bikini? Haha.

Kaw talaga hanna, sumegway na naman. Anyway…) late but now I’m ready to

RAWR so bring it on. ;D Big deep breath… BISMILLAH!
