this is it
after months of anticipation, weeks of anxious waiting, two straight days of drinking session and hours spent refreshing the supreme court website - finally we can go back to our version of normal though strangely enough things will never be the same again. our bench now has a legal department of our own, haha.dych was almost missing in action for most part of law school and even after that, hehe. still i appreciate it that she remembered to keep her promise of bringing cupcakes to the first major bench get together she attended. of the three of them lorr (as what she's called by her other friends) was my vote for most likely to pass if only because her ahia harvey came in secod during his time. i just think that it runs in the blood and even though she studies with the eternal distraction of ym and internet at bay she still made it because as i said it's in her.
rich survived a lot these past few months and as i was telling her if this was the trade off then she got the best deal. she's a real sweetheart who took the time to fix my personal blog one midnight because she needs a break from law school. that's the kind of extra special talent she has and the kind of love she has for friends. she took the time to make it to our bench gatherings as much as she can. qc was her home base so having to go all the way to makati is bothersome but she did oftentimes and i'm always glad to see her because her being there assures me she's hanging in there. i know you are tough dear and destined for greater things that has nothing to do with your past. i love you my sunshine, you know you always make me smile.
D, well she's my D. spending most of my time with her, i vicariously went through everything she had to go through. she's easy go lucky. i mean we've spent a lot of times cutting class (cutting work for me) to catch the first showing in rockwell or if we can't then there were also the last full shows, chatting all night long even if she had readings and i had proposals to go through and doing just about any other thing not related to what we're supposed to be doing. there were also a lot more other things. on the onset i thought the whole lawyer thing wasn't for her. it's not that she's not good but it's just that i've seen her at her best away from books. i realized now though that D, even if she doesn't recognize it, will always do great in whatever she decides to get into. she doesn't need to muster courage or gather strength, somehow in her own unique way she'll always come through. you know that i'm so proud of you, always been.
cheers! here's to winning all your future cases ;)
p.s. congratulations also to another dear friend eis for making it =) attorney, when's our lunch? =)
