November 30. 10:48AM. My Crib-Inner Sunset, San Francisco.
I woke up early today in an attempt to do my piling laundry and because I am having a terrible pounding headache as well. I took two aspirin tablets and bam!; Headache is gone but laundry is still there. I'll postpone laundry for tomorrow.
As a usual routine, I checked my twitter and was baffled by what Elena Bautista-Horn claimed that GMA is a subject of a purported Oplan: Put The Little Girl to Sleep. This is the most interestingly stupid idea that came from the camp of the former president. I am a big fan of GMA and still am up to this point. But what her agents portrayed are totally unbelievable and I am not buying that sh*t from Len Bautista.
On the other side, I am almost systems-go with my plans in 2013. I just pray that everything will run smoothly as planned.

Who would want to leave this place?
November 29. 9:56 PM. My Crib-Inner Sunset, San Francisco.
Well, well, well. After 2 weeks of hiatus, I'm finally back and yet again. I was busy these past few weeks and I have just regained my balance after the Thanksgiving holiday. I admit, it was really stressful.
Nevertheless, I am back to my original routine of preparing for law school admission next year while trying to juggle it with work, full time! Although it is an over-kill working two jobs at the same time, you will be delighted for sure seeing your paycheck afterwards. All this for law school in 2013.
I have been working at UCSF for almost three years now and I admit, I have grown to love this place ever since I moved from New York City to San Francisco a few years ago. Leaving the Big Apple is really hard. I have to adjust for a year before I finally came into a realization that there was indeed no turning back. And now that I have been with UCSF for quite sometime, I can say that the decision to leave Big Apple and move into the Sunshine state is the best decision I made.
One of the reasons why, is due to the prestige of the institution. UCSF has been considered by U.S. News and World Report as one of the top 10 medical centers in the entire U.S. and one of the leading institutions in the field of neurology and neurosurgery in the world. There is no doubt everybody wants to work here. As a matter of fact, out of 5,780 applications the medical center had received in June 2008, there was only 24 selected for various nursing (R.N.) positions. Luckily, I was included in the 24. I can still remember the time when the medical center called me for personal interview. I have to endure a long 6 hour flight from NYC to San Francisco just to attend the interview and then back on a red-eye flight to NYC that same day.
Second of all, the salary is way to far compared to other hospitals in the entire United States. San Francisco R.N.s are in fact, the highest paid R.N.s in the continent. A San Francisco R.N.(whether you're working for UCSF, Stanford, California Pacific, Kaiser or the San Francisco County) would hit an average $50-65/hr plus differentials, certifications and of course years of experience. That is almost seven times the minimum wage of $7.65 prescribed by the U.S. Department of Labor.
Lastly, the view. See for yourself. UCSF stands high in the middle of Mt. Sutro Forest Reserve. Just across the famous Twin Peaks. (used to be a soap in TV in the mid-90s)
If you were in my shoes, would you leave such lucrative job in exchange for fulfilling your hopes to be a lawyer?

Taking this seriously.
I'm back..... for now. 11:15pm. Inner Sunset, San Francisco, California.
So finally, I have decided to pursue my law school plans in 2013 as suppose to going into medical school, after a conversation with few trusted people last week. To prepare myself, I need to sharpen whatever that is left in my frontal lobe. I have been out of the academic setting for quite sometime and I fear that without enough preparation, I will definitely flunk the exam. Complacency is definitely the twin sibling of the lazy.
To prevent that from happening, I did some empirical blog readings about the coverage of Ateneo Law Entrance Exam. I was not surprised. It obviously is composed of purely logical and analytical questions that will gauge a prospective student of his or her success in the study of law. To date, I purchased BARRON's LSAT, The Princeton Review LSAT, KAPLAN's Miller Analogies, KAPLAN's GMAT Quantitative Reasoning workbook and a bunch of TOEFL Review materials. Personally I think this is an overkill but I'd better be prepared. I have also prepared a time-table about my review plan.
During Sundays, Mondays and Wednesdays-Logical Reasoning; Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays-Abstract/Quantitative and Verbal Reasoning; Sundays-Grammar and Composition, Summaries, Briefs and Essays and Reading Comprehension.
So far, I have not started yet. I have the entire year to prepare for the December 2012 Ateneo Law Entrance Test. I know I can do this.
