BAR EXAMS AND THOSE WHO DIDN’T PASS

I suddenly became curious as to why the 2012 Bar Exams results was said to be the lowest in the decade. Reports says that it was lower than 20% which makes it really alarming. I do know some people (2 are my high school classmates at one point), who did not make it.

There has been a lot of clamor for the Integrated Bar to give a re-test but we’ve yet to hear from them if this will be allowed. It such an arduous process to become a full pledged lawyer, and of course a doctor too. I’m glad that I did not take up a profession that requires me to have to go through such ordeal, although I guess I’m able to say this because those are really not my passion. Read more…

THE SENIOR YEARS…

Ever heard of the term life sneaks up on us? I feel that we all feel that way one way or another, at least a large majority does. We tend to dilly dally and take things for granted and then later on we realize that time is slipping away. We vow to always spend time with people that we love like our children, and then one day we find them all grown up. And so it is best to always live in the moment as well as plan for the future.

BOOKSALE LOOT

Last Friday I went to Booksale in Robinson’s Metroeast to find out if there’s still any Cecilia Ahern book that I could get my hands into. It was last Sunday that I went there and found Ahern’s Thank You for the Memories. I have the money right there but would like to get it the following day because I already went over my budget for the day, besides, I’m not sure what time my salary will be credited and so I opted not to get it. I have a rather disappointing conversation with 2 of their sales ladies, let’s just leave it at that.

I then went back last Friday and was glad that I found another book from Cecilia Ahern – If You Could See Me Now. And I got it for a whopping price of P145.00!!!! Sweet right?! Totally!

THINKING OF MOVING TO A NEW HOME

I’m actually dreaming while wide awake. I’m dreaming of moving into a new house soon. I guess I really need to seriously wrestle it out in prayer for it to materialize. I have been looking at different real estate selling sites for pictures of a nice house and lot. Although if I could really have it my way, I’d love to have a house on a hill or a cliff. I have always wanted that kind of property since I was in high school. Perhaps something similar to this one.

GRATEFUL

Today I just want to thank God for all His loving kindness and His faithfulness. Despite my short comings and the many times I’ve proved to be beyond disappointing, He remains faithful. Thank you Lord.

THE LOST SYMBOL BY DAN BROWN BOOK REVIEW

The Lost Symbol (Robert Langdon, #3)The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown

My rating: 2 of 5 stars

To be completely honest, I’m still not able to make up my mind about this book. Sure I like the fact that as any typical Dan Brown book, this one kept me reading way past my bed time. Dan Brown is very wise as to make the chapters really manageable to read (like one or two pages) so the reader ends up promising himself that he would read just one more chapter before inserting the bookmark and putting off the book.

READ ‘EM AND WEEP LYRICS – ELUSIVE SONG FROM SWITCHED AT BIRTH

I have been on the look out for this song since I heard it on Switched at Birth. It has a very catchy melody, and the sound of the guitar strings is very soothing.  To be precise this song was used in Switched at Birth Season 1 Episode 22 and 25. Read more…
