"There is nothing permanent except change."
- Heraclitus (Greek philosopher)
Indeed, he got that one right! Change is good. It reinvents ourselves in ways we never thought was even possible. Change makes us look back, rethink and realize what we have, what we lost, what we're still missing and what we ought to do. Change made me realize that there is a lot more things to learn, to see, to understand and to achieve.

MOST RECENT CHANGES IN MY LIFE
(c) Reese Corpuz |
I turned 21 this May and I couldn't be anymore happier as I was able to spend my special day with family, friends and even a very special guy friend. My whole family, including my father who was always away, was by my side, wishing me a happy birthday! I was also able to share my celebration among my most treasured college friends. He was also able to successfully surprise me with a visit at home. (Awww!)
I recently developed a love for cats because of our baby, Harry Potter, a persian blue cat. (Self-explanatory, I assume.) There's nothing more to say about him and his utter cute-ness!
I also graduated from College (Yes, I know, it's surreal!) last June along with a hundred fellow Lasallian graduates. I was privileged enough to receive a special commencement award - Cultural Development Award - as DLSU Administrators believed I was able to promote Philippine Culture in DLSU in my four years of stay. I couldn't have done this without the support and lessons I learned from La Salle Dance Company - Contemporary, my second family, my special professors - Dr. Tonton Contreras, Prof. Dindo Manhit, Dr. Antonio Pedro and Dr. Eric Batalla. I am ever so grateful to all of them.
Finally, the biggest change in my life, (I still cannot believe this, up to now.) I entered into law school! I got accepted in San Beda College of Law (Which btw, for me, is the most prestigious, most highly acclaimed law school in the land!) unexpectedly and even though I wasn't 100% sure of it, I accepted the challenged and made a promise to myself that I shall finish this journey no matter what it takes!
So many changes took place within a span of less than a year and as I ponder on them now, I feel like it all went by so fast; too fast that perhaps I wasn't able to let them all sink in first and ponder on how I should go by these changes properly! Changes took place but I wasn't able to take advantage of them as I worried too much on the little things and forgot about the bigger picture. I am mortified to have let a whole semester pass already before I realize these things. I wasted so much time, so much opportunities!
So I wrote this as a constant reminder of the day I accept change and utilize it for the better. I shall not fret for it is never too late to pick myself up, sprinkle a little "wake up call" on my face, plant my goal inside me and say, "Carry on!"
On other news!
I am proud and very happy to say that I will be back on business (Blogging business, I mean.) for the benefit of fellow law students like me. I shall post about law school life, lessons, tips and tricks and perhaps a little more extra ;) Case digests will also be seen here every once in a while as I intend to make your lives a little bit easier, of course with the link to the full text of the cases as it is still recommended to read the whole text and not the digests only. I shall post pictures as well of my lovely new family, 1L and give you glimpse of what it's like and how it is. Excited? Well, I am too. So, here's to the changes that took place and even more to come! ;)
