Good luck Bunny....will light a candle for you

If it's meant to be, it will happen
Thanks, starlover! I've waited for this for so long and I'm sure you knew my struggles including my doubts in this profession. I can't believe I'm doing this!

Would there be the chance to resit again if you needed to Bunny, or is this the last one?

Oh wow 8 years in the making , how exciting ! Good luck !!
Well, I enrolled in the most prestigious law school in the Philippines in 2009 (University of the Philippines, Harvard's counterpart in the country) but, you know, I don't have good reading comprehension so I wasn't able to graduate. I only needed 3 points, though, to pass one critical subject so I can continue on.

I transferred to Far Eastern University and there I shined. I always landed among the top 3 students and was an academic scholar for one sem. In 2013, my parents noticed how I neglected my health so they asked me to transfer again to a local school (at that time, I was admitted to intern for the Office of Solicitor General where it's difficult to get accepted due to very tight competition).

In 2015, I finally graduated from Aquinas University. My grades would've made me qualify to get latin honors but they refused to give me even academic distinction because I was a mere transferree.

Later that year, I took the bar exams but I was ill-prepared and was not in my best condition as I was taking medications that was giving me insomnia. I recorded 35 sleepless nights that year so my memory weakened. I was planning not to pursue taking the exams that year but I changed my mind because I wanted to experience how it is to take the exams and just take it the 2nd time around in case I fail.

On the last subject, I was thinking that there's no way I will pass because of my condition so I didn't finish the exam with 12 points unanswered only to find out later on that I would've passed if only I finished it. I got an average grade of 74.65% .

In 2016, I took the exams again but with better confidence and no more insomnia. I hope I make it this time!

pffttt that's nothing, my husband wants a 2nd career, law. in his middle age/40s.

some men start new careers in their 40s and sometimes 50s.



John Grisham, a Lawyer back then, started his 2nd career as a writer and a successful one too!!!

ohh do you do people's taxes?

I read they are accounting.
no. I'm working for the audit institution of the government but with functions similar to a lawyer's. 🙂
oh what type of lawyer you gonna be??

I still don't know. I want to specialize in Corporate Law. It's my favorite subject and I find it easy... but I also want to continue living in Legazpi. Sadly, there's not much demand for corporate lawyers here. For that, I need to work in Manila, a city I want to avoid because of traffic, pollution and overcrowding! 😢

My parents have always been proud of me but I let the down when I didn't pass the first time I took the bar. They were expecting that I'll make it given my stellar academic records. Just getting to UP and OSG mean a lot as even the students with latin honors do not get accepted there. @_@

soon-to-be lawyer. I'm already a CPA so CPA lawyer.
I'm doing both too.. .but they are exclusive... I can't practice both simultaneously. I can either be an auditor or a corporate lawyer. But yes, they have very similar subjects n similar things to handle. Anyway, I don't believe in prayers ..but I'll pray for you 😄 Goodluck again 🙂

As an auditor, you will only encounter numbers and figures - so it can get a little dizzy and boring.

As a lawyer, you will be talking about rights and obligations... and a lot of words - but you'll love the words... especially if you like reading...

I agree. Corporate lawyers are also different from regular lawyers. We are like in-house legal experts and compliance officers of the company and chief advisors to the BOD.. Help to incorporate companies and their Public Issue and listing. Definitely more interesting things to do. It would be more fun n less stressful than being an auditor tbh. But here, though both are equally tough, Auditor course is more prestigious. I may complete both and end up not taking up either as career though ?

You have to choose! If auditor is more prestigious then go for it! Here in the Philippines, it's more prestigious to be a lawyer. 🙂

I got that when you mentioned it took you longer to complete law than CPA. Lawyer​s, though passed out from the most prestigious Universities , are still ranked below Auditors n Corporate lawyers here.They are the most toughest courses n usually ranked along with doctors here.It is so even in India. So it works if at all I move to India sometime as well. But I'm not looking​ for more prestigious course.Earning has never been my priority either. I can see myself in the corporate field than do ass work like auditors. It goes with my personality ?..but as I said, I may totally choose to do something totally different from both of these 😄 ?
