i am one month and 2 weeks delayed...
Nausea.
Headaches.
Twice the heartbeat.
Sleepless nights.
Gaining weight.
Parental fear.
No, they are not symptoms of unwanted pregnancy.
They are manifestations that I am taking the bar exam soon. All the above-mentioned symptoms or whatever you may want to call them simply mean I have not complied with my bar review schedule.
A month and two-weeks delay. I have not studied diligently since the end of the semester, which should have been the necessary case. I am just hopeful that I will not regret my "katamaran".
After a month and a half, I am in limbo.
And starting June, I may not be able to blog so that I can recuperate my lost times.
So help me God.

exclusionary rule and bar review
After a month of study "exclusionary rule" seems to be my most encountered principle of law.
In Political Law - the doctrine pertains to pieces of evidence obtained in violation of a criminal defendant's constitutional or statutory rights not being admissible at trial.
In Labor Law - the doctrine likewise excludes additional benefits granted gratuitously to workers for a long period of time and shall not be considered integrated as part of basic salary.
In Taxation - the doctrine applies to certain items in the National Internal Revenue Code which are excluded from the scope of the power of taxation of Local Government Units (a.k.a. Doctrine of Preemption in Taxation)
Ideally, in bar review, lawyer wannabe's should practice the same. Yes, the burden of excluding certain privileges, matters, leisures that would go contrary to the substantive goal of passing the bar examinations. I know of some friends who quit smoking to lessen stress. I know of some who defies blogging and friendster for the meantime that they are 'round the clock reading in the library. I know of a girl who broke up with her boyfriend. I know lots who gave up sleeping for (8) eight hours. I know some who even excluded themselves from their family and rented an apartment so that they may study alone. I know of friends who resigned from work.
Thinking of those circumstances made me feel guilty that I am not doing my best to exclude somethings that I know for now are not helping me to pass the bar exam; Telenovelas, Sleep, Unfinished business at work, Cosmopolitan Magazine, Chickahan with friends, Comfort of Home, Shopping and Blogging; they are my BIGGEST TEMPTATIONS.
More or less three months before the exam and I still can't gear myself up to study. I should be dying of guilt at the moment because I stopped reading and consumed almost an hour in the net.
Oh my God! Please send me all your angels that I may resist those temptations and start practicing the "exclusionary rule".

reason (s)
I can think of so many reasons to stop, quit and change my life's blueprint.
How ironic that I only have one reason to stay.
Why do I have to bear all this sacrifices and pressures for that super astig na title before my name : ATTY. ?
My summer is such a mess.Give me some life.
