Bar Challenge

September is the month for Barrister!
D day for Lawyers-wanna-be.

I went to DLSU Taft last Sunday to cheer for a friend, Iamie.  She's from Cebu.  A friend whom I've never met yet… but we're good friends…

Vito Cruz St. was crowded with families, friends, fraternities, sorrorities, students, relatives, faculty of different universities and bands.  They have their own gimmicks to show support to barrister.

Got goosebumps when I saw the barristers from different schools all over the Philippines walking bravely as they enter the gates of La Salle to take the Bar Challenge… For how many years of struggling… now they're ready to embark a new phase!

So proud that one of them is my Friend.  Though I never got the chance to see her… still I am very proud of her.  I asked the band at my back to play "POSIBLE" of Rivermaya.  In that way, I know Iamie will know that a Kawal Friend is there to support her…

I saw a tarpauline "Bedan Barrister hit the 100%" hanging on the walls of LRT.
I remember a conversation with my brother and his gf.  He told me that his friends promised that they'll be sponsoring huge tarpaulines posted all over the LRT stations.  And we all laughed.

The problem is… after the bar exam… and he fails… he will deny daw that he took the bar. 
I said, how about the train… that will be the living proof that you took the challenge.
And we laughed again….
He said.. "iba ka talaga mag-isip, Ate"

Ang sarap ng feeling na lalaban ka ulit… sa bagong hamon ng buhay!
kaya ako.. tuloy ang laban!
At masaya ituh!

By next year, I'll be standing in the same place again, cheering for my brother.  Yooohooo!
And we'll all be dancing in the moonlight!

'Ayt!
