Where it all begins..... Again

In the middle of my fourth year as an Engineering student, I had my doubts whether I should continue it. Not because I found it difficult, but because my heart was not into it. The only reason I chose to study Engineering is because I’m good at Math. I took a lot of time to think what I really wanted to do and it led me to one thing and one thing only, TO BECOME A LAWYER.

I wrote my parents a letter and told them that I wanted to study Law. We ended the discussion with an agreement, for me to finish my EcE course, then they’ll let me study Law.

After I graduated I decided to study and take the Board exam so that my degree in Engineering wouldn’t be for nothing. With God’s grace, I passed the EcE Licensure Exam with flying colors.

Now, I am here. I believe that everything I’ve went through, every struggle, hardwork, and triumph has led me here. All the lessons I’ve learned and all the experience I’ve gained would be for this opportunity: to study Law.

I’ve turned down some Job offers, financial security and independence for more Education. This is not about the money and it never will. This is about doing something I believe in, doing something I know that would be right for me, and doing something that would give me the knowledge and put me in the best position to be a productive member of society.

I decided to study in San Beda College Alabang, School of Law. I’ve attained my early education there, and it would only be fitting for me to continue with my dream in the School where I began.

Boston Celtics 2013 (Celtic Pride)

This is not directly related about me becoming a lawyer, but you'll see how this team has inspired people not just on the court but more importantly in their lives. And I'm sure that when I face adversities, I could always look at this team and believe that "ANYTHING'S POSSIBLE"

Here we are again, the end of another playoff run by the Boston Celtics. What started as a promising season has turned into a beautiful tragedy that no one could have written any better.

What more can I say? Game 6 of the first round of the playoffs said it all. The Boston Celtics were down 26 points with a little over 6 minutes remaining in the game and they had almost done the impossible. They fought back, made a 20 – 0 run and went out like warriors.  We were outmatched and we were left for dead, but we fought back, we never gave up, we refused to die, but in the end we came up short.

But this is not a story of defeat, this is about the Glory of being a Celtic. Any other team in the NBA would have easily given up and would allow themselves to be swept in the playoffs. Any other team would have lied down after being down 26 points in the 4^th quarter and face the shame of being humiliated in their home court. But the Celtics is not just any other team. With Celtic Pride passed from the time of Russell, to the time of Bird, and now to the KG era, these warriors would not allow themselves to go out that way.

These warriors would go out at their own terms. These warriors looked their opponents in the eye and said “Before you get through us, we will show you something you will never forget” With the heart of a Celtic pumping hard in their chest, and having the bloodline of Celtic Royalties flow through their veins, they allowed themselves to go out with pride, heads held high, and shout to the world “WE ARE CELTICS.”

It may now be time to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new. The faces would change, the names on the back would change, the numbers would change, but CELTIC PRIDE WOULD NEVER DIE.

Celtic Pride! It is not just basketball, it is about believing in yourself when no one else does. It is about overcoming obstacles that seem insurmountable. It is about overcoming the odds. It is about never giving up even if no hope could be found. And most of all it is about being proud of yourself and your actions no matter what the outcome may be.

Celtic Pride is not just basketball, it is a lifestyle.
