No Boundaries

I just heard from one of my friends in Law School that the Theme Song for this year's BAR OPS is "No Boundaries" by Kris Allen as popularized by Adam Lambert. I was very happy to hear it knowing that because since I started my journey of becoming a lawyer, it has been one of my boosters not to give up, never to give up! I already posted here my other theme song such which "The Climb" by Miley Cyrus but the impact of this song is really deep! Oh well, let the lyrics speak for itself. :)

Seconds, hours, so many days
You know what you want, but how long can you wait?
Every moment last forever.
When you feel you've lost your way.

What if my chances were already gone?
I started believing that I could be wrong.
But you give me one good reason.
To fight and never walk away.

So here I am, still holding on

With every step, you climb another mountain
Every breath, it's harder to believe
You'll make it through the pain, weather the hurricanes
To get to that one thing.

Just when you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you almost gave up on your dreams
They take you by the hand and show you that you can
There are no boundaries.
There are no boundaries.

I fought to the limit, to stand on the edge
What if today is as good as it gets?
Don't know where the future's heading
But nothing's gonna bring me down
I've jumped every bridge and I've run every line
I risked being safe but I always knew why
I always knew why

So here I am, still holding on

With every step, you climb another mountain
Every breath, it's harder to believe
You'll make it through the pain, weather the hurricanes
To get to that one thing

Just when you think the road is going nowhere
Just when you almost gave up on your dreams
They take you by the hand and show you that you can

You can go higher, you can go deeper
There are no boundaries above and beneath you
Break every rule 'cause there's nothing between you
And your dreams

With every step, you climb another mountain
Every breath, it's harder to believe

Yeah, there are no boundaries
There are no boundaries

With every step, you climb another mountain
Every breath, it's harder to believe
You'll make it through the pain, weather the hurricanes

There are no boundaries.
There are no boundaries.
There are no boundaries.

PUP College of Law - FAQs

Since I've been receiving a lot of emails lately asking about information one needs to know on PUP College of Law, I decided to post all the FAQs that an interested applicant would want to know. However, please note that some of the information here may change without prior notice and almost all the details posted on this particular one are the same as you'll see on the PUP website. Thank you! I hope I was able to help you :)

Midterm na naman!

May isang dahilan kung bakit karamihan sa mga kakilala ko ang nkakalimot sa bday ko, yun ay dahil sa midterm! Sobrang busy ng lahat para makapag-review at wala ng ibang nasa isip nila kundi ang ipasa ang lahat ng exams -- aba! lalo naman sa Law School! kaya kung nakalimutan man ng mga kumpanyero ko sa PUP College of Law ang birthday ko, don't worry! naiintindihan ko kayo :)

Bsta isa lang ang gsto ko, sana maipasa nyo ang lahat ng exams nyo.

Yun lang masaya na ko ^^

Good luck sa lahat ng magsusunog ng kilay ! AJA !

An Open Letter To A Diffident Friend of Mine ...

Dearest Sabrina ,

          Halos 5 years na rin tayong nagkakasama no? Since undergrad kaklase na kita pero di ko masabing magkakilala na nga tayo sa mga panahon na yun kasi we both belong to different circle of friends. Ang lagi ko kasing nkakausap lang ay si Sienn na walang choice kundi ang tumabi saken dahil sa pareho kaming Dela Cruz ang surname. Siguro it is safe to say na you are the opposite of who I am. Kaya siguro medyo naniwala ka noon na kesyo ganito ang ugali ko at hndi madaling makasundo. I can't blame them, sobrang strong naman kasi talaga ng personality ko kaya maraming nagsasabi na hndi ako madaling pakisamahan. Kung ano yung kinalakas ng dating ng aura ko sya namang kinatahimik ng pagkatao mo. Konting dikit pa saken Sahb lalakas din ang loob mo. Contagious kaya ang fighting spirit ko :)) Nakakatawa no? Kapag nakkwento naten sa mga kaklase natin noon na tayo ang magkasundo sa Law School nagugulat sila at nagtataka kung paanong ang isang tahimik na tulad mo ay sasama sa ubod ng ingay na kagaya ko. Well, sabi nga nila "Opposite attracts".

Keep Calm and Enjoy Law School ...
