i don’t do drugs. i read fanfics until i feel like sirius’ love child dressed in chaotic 80s, housed in slytherin, best friends with draco and neville, sneaking out every night to the astronomy tower to study with a certain lion redhead who likes to do pranks on people 🔪💚

last time i worked in this office, i was the cdo. i had just passed the bar exam. our boss was the branch clerk of court.

today, i’m back… with a few years of legal practice, and a few legal experiences worth mentioning.

today, i took my oath as the branch clerk of court.

life has a funny way of coming full circle🤎⚖️

soaked up the sun, went to a wedding, had a seizure, will open the law office one last time later, and will take an oath tomorrow as branch clerk of court. life’s happening so fast this week. i mean, i’ve been waiting for this since forever and now that my appointment’s here, i can’t move

🤎🎾

got some good news today and i wanted to keep the good day going. so when someone from law school wanted to play tennis with my husband and i, my initial reaction was that i want to. it was 5pm. we just got home. my husband looked at me and said something like, “are you sure you’re not going to run out of social battery?” i know exactly what he meant. i used to go to therapy and my therapist used to tell me i show signs of bipolar disorder. i never got diagnosed though. maybe it’s bpd, it’s probably not, but i know it’s something. and i know what my husband meant. he knows i’m happy now but something might switch during. and when i switch, everyone’s the enemy.

i promised him i won’t switch though, so we went to the court.

3-4 hrs in, i switched. i ruined a really good day. i hated everyone. felt like everyone was judging me. felt like this one guy was talking to my husband but not me. got pissed that this one girl felt like she can talk to me. i know i’m irrational at this point but the feelings are real. now i’m replaying every conversation, thinking about how i should’ve answered this/that way instead. my classmate from law school asked if we wanted to play tomorrow after my husband and i’s coaching session… i looked at my husband and said that we have a lot on our plate tomorrow (which is true). my husband took that as me being too tired already so he cancelled our tennis coaching session tomorrow and i got even more pissed because i wanted to go to the coaching session. i just didn’t feel like playing with others tomorrow.

hayyyy. but it’s okay. my husband and i are good now. i just don’t know what’s wrong with me. and gracie abrams released that song and i can’t stop playing it and it’s making me feel even worse. eto ba yung sinasabi nilang you’ll feel like you’re hitting a low right before transitioning into a better life. bec man i feel low

was this a personal conversation with her? or was it just relayed to you? cos it can also mean that she was trying to think of you and wondering if you're doing fine.

another friend just told me this. maybe you’re right. not everything’s a personal attack. but the “baka nga panota-notaryo lang si kams sa office niya e” really got to me

2:09 pm, thu 😕

i have this lawyer friend… and apparently she said that she’s having a hard time getting her own cases outside of the law office where she’s a junior partner. most of her work comes from the office itself, and she earns through percentages from the cases she handles and the documents she notarizes.

context: i used to be a loose partner before becoming a solo practitioner… i handled my own cases and received 100% of my professional fees and notarial fees (my boss was generous, i know).

i was told today that this lawyer friend thinks i may not be doing well now that i’m on my own and that all i probably get these days are notarial fees.

what she doesn’t know is that i still receive cases from my former senior lawyer (kaya ninong namin sa kasal), and at this point, i even return some because there are already too many for me to handle. i don’t just notarize. i’m doing litigation, and i’m doing well.

and to be fair to her, she probably didn’t even mean it the way it sounded. she herself admitted she’s been struggling to get her own cases, so she teaches and collaborates with other lawyers outside her office to get by. maybe what she said was projection more than anything else.

but she’s also my friend.

so somehow, even knowing all of that, it still hurt hearing that this is how she sees me.

forgive me, coach, for i have sinned, and this is my sin: i genuinely enjoyed pickleball

enjoyed yet another solo workshop. pouring into my own cup, one drop of perfume note at a time🤎

granted lahat ng motions na filed ko sa court!!

bury me in loveland ✨🫀

🍓 my mother-in-law loves buying & giving me stuff: watches, clothes, shoes, etc.

🍓 i buy cutesy stuff for myself too (mostly journal stuff and tennis outfits hehehe)

🍓 i play tennis more than once a week now and i now know why coach joey wanted me to practice more often. it’s hard to improve playing just once a week. i feel myself getting better now hehehe

🍓 i use my longchamp for tennis now!! happy that this bag has a real purpose now. i used to use it as my work bag but just because it fits all my stuff. i never thought it added to the lawyer aesthetic. but look at her nowwww so cuteeee

🍓 i have smiskis on my desk just because i believe they’re cheering for me while i work. i figured i’d hang a smiski keychain on my tennis bag to cheer for me during rallies hahaha

🍓 my journal ecosystem is thriving. plus i have a new one for work hehehe

🍓 bff got me journal stuff

🍓 my hobonichi, always worth the mention

🍓 and my ghibli keychains

🍓 fucking bury me in loveland!! this is my husband and i trying a restaurant that’s way pricier than our usual fancy date spots, then laughing because really, what were we expecting??? but instead of carefully budgeting the order, we just try every recommendation on the menu and spend the night enjoying ourselves, teasing each other about whether the bill comes from his account or the joint one. in the end, he pays anyway and we laugh.

Your state of being is the foundation of your life. The more you take care of your state of being, the more magical your reality becomes. Your energy, your belief system, your self concept, these are the components of your state of being. These are the foundation of your reality. So take care of this foundation, make sure that this foundation is contributing to the reality of your dreams.

When your state of being supports your dream life, your reality becomes truly magical. You become a magnet for sunchronicites. The right people and circumstances just come your way. So don’t allow your state of being to run on autopilot. Take care of it. Nourish it with the right kind of thoughts and beliefs.

Your identity is so important. The way you perceive yourself is so important. If you want to be successful, you have to put on the identity of a successful person. If you want to be abundant, you have to put on the identity of an abundant person. You can’t perceive yourself one way and expect to be the other.

That’s why it’s so important to be aware of your general self concept. What do you think about yourself? Do these beliefs contribute to the reality of your dreams? If not, you have to let go of them and establish beliefs that contribute to the life of your dreams. Perceive yourself as the person you want to be. Perceive yourself as the version of yourself from your dream reality.

walang drama sa buhay and loyal to her becoming cutie

I do not respect the grind. Go to bed

journal/book/matcha date by myself at 11:51 am on a tuesday. i went to court at 10am for work, and now my husband is off collecting legal fees from my clients. when my husband gets here, we’ll head home to watch aot. later afternoon we’ll meet our friends at a matcha bar and our friend and i will exchange documents for notarization. so this meeting is basically just a matcha/book date with stamps hahaha. the good lyf is good lyfing ✨💖💅
