I Fear

A Last Goodbye by Alessandra Carloni, 2015

That one day you will go
And I will not say no
That one day you'll be gone
And I'll be left with none
That one day we will end
And all my dreams fall dead
That on that day I'll forget you
And everything you did.

I had chicken pox on my birthday. Yes, on my birthday, and just before my midterm exams. I should have known. January 30th. I fell asleep in the afternoon which was unusual since I have been experiencing trouble sleeping for days now. When I awoke, I rushed to school only to find that our classes were canceled. I came home feeling tired and cold.  January 31st. My birthday. I woke up with a heavy head and chills. Then, when I scratched my rib, some fluid came out. I instantly knew something was wrong. I called my sister about my symptoms and she confirmed it. Chicken pox. On my birthday. Just before midterms. Of course, I went frantic. And of course, I kept on asking why this has to happen. Why now? Why this? Why me? Yes, I may have been a tad bit overdramatic. But it's just natural to question things when misfortunes after misfortunes come your way, diba? I was so stressed about it that I told my mom that if I don't make it this semester, I am going to quit law school. Just wh...

Quaranthings

It's been four months since I assumed office as a Public Attorney and made Calbayog City my new home. A hundred days since I met my new family, seventeen weeks since I realized the promise I made to myself back in law school and three thousand hours of being grateful for this opportunity. It's been a rollercoaster ride ever since. I immediately attended hearings during my first week in the office. The previous lawyer assigned to my branch was appointed as a judge so needless to say, I have large shoes to fill. I didn't have time to mingle with my officemates for I only had a day or two to read the records of the cases set for that week. On my first appearance as a public attorney, I presented a witness in one case and requested some time to familiarize myself with the records in another. Thank God my DPA/immediate supervisor was kind enough to assist me and helped me navigate my way through. I wonder what impression I gave to the court and my fellow lawyers! 😅 Just as I wa...

Of Seas and Slip Ups

I was scrolling through Tumblr when I stumbled upon a photo by Jeremy Bishop. I visited his website and have been clicking on each picture in his online portfolio for the past thirty minutes. This image he called Sea Waves made me pause for a moment. I remember it's been a while since I drove to the beach. And maybe it'll take some more time before I could smell the sea breeze again. Sea Waves by Jeremy Bishop I spent the whole day yesterday in court. I sat across the bench almost the entire time while I discreetly massaged my lower abdomen. I've been suffering from terrible menstrual cramps for three days. I wanted to go out and come back when it is already my schedule but I didn't want to disturb the court proceedings. So I just pursed my lips and prayed to God that I get through the day. When my cases were finally called, I stood up and declared, "ready to present my witness, your honor" or "ready for cross, your honor."  An old classmate from law...
