Hey, Zavi. I want to thank you for seeing me a while ago.
You didn't have to. But you did and I appreciate it. Really.
Kaya thank you talaga. 💗
Zavi: Anytime, Liana.
Anyways, may ginagawa ka pa yata. I won't bother you anymore hehe. Baka sobrang nakukulitan ka na sa'kin.
Zavi: Nah, I finished everything I need to finish.
Really?
Ang shala ng time management mo, ha. Nababalanse mo talaga ang life at law school.
Zavi: Kapag gusto, may paraan.
Ikr hehe.
Napansin ko kanina na super dami ng highlights sa libro mo. Ganon ba talaga kadami kinakabisado sa subjects niyo?
Zavi: Yeah, normally ganon talaga kadami.
Hindi ka ba nahihirapn?
Zavi: I'd lie if I say no.
There are times that I struggle because of the pressure, pero iniisip ko na it'll all be worth it. Because it's the dream.
You'll understand once you enter med school.
Huhu kinakabahan nga ako, tbh.
Kasi I'm not a brilliant student. I'm scared that maybe I'm too bobo to even enter med school at baka ilang days palang mag-drop na 'ko.
Zavi: Nah. Studying is not all about brains.
It takes guts and an enormous amount of hard work to pursue what you truly want. If you're really dedicated to get that M.D., I'm sure you'll be fine. You'll survive and I bet you'll be a hella awesome doctor.
Aw, thank you. 🥺
Kapag nagkaanak ka sa akin mo dalhin, I'll give your child a free check-up and gusto mo may kasama pang vaccine hehe.
Zavi: Pediatrician, huh?
Yes!! I like kids.
They are too cute and adorable.
Zavi: You must be really good with kids.
Uhm, I'm not sure. May one time kasi na nahulog ko 'yung pinsan ko habang buhat-buhat ko siya.
T'was an accident, tho.
Didn't mean to. Really.
Zavi: Well, is your cousin fine?
Yeah. She's fine. Thankfully, she's alive.
Zavi: Guess you need adult supervision while handling kids.
Excuse me, I'm an adult!
Zavi: Yeah, but you're too small.
Ang straightforward. 😳
Zavi: I'm a law student. I don't do sugarcoating.
I guess there are really different types of lawyers.
Zavi: What do you mean?
Ah, wala. May tangang namanipulate ng law student. Nadala sa matatamis na salita at pangako na bandang dulo ay napako. 🔪
Zavi: There are some lawyers who could easily manipulate the truth. It's not true that the truth always prevails in court. Justice can be bought. Better not be fooled.
Thanks for the advice. Don't worry. I won't be fooled. Never again.
Anyways, what kind of lawyer do you want to be?
Zavi: I'm not sure. Human rights or Criminal lawyer is my top choice, tho.
Delikado crim lawyer.
Zavi: Yeah. That's why I'm having second thoughts. It's gonna be a potential threat, not only for me but also for my family and the people around me.
Back in elementary, I thought that maybe I could enter law school and be a lawyer someday.
Glad I chose a different path.
Zavi: Why? What made you change your mind?
I love taking care of people, I love socializing and I also love biology.
Tapos may naramdaman ako, eto yung alam mo talaga sa sarili mo na ito ang gusto mo at ang nagpapasaya sa'yo. Ganon.
Basta iba 'yung pakiramdam, medj nahihirapan ako kung paano ko ieexplain. But I felt like I'm meant for this path. I chose to be in this field and I'm happy. I don't have any regrets.
Zavi: You're one of the few lucky ones who knows what they truly want and is never afraid to pursue it, and I admire you for that, Aeliana.
Hala, ikaw 'din naman! I can see that you really love law even tho ang dami mong binabasa at minimemorize.
I hope to see you one day in court and get to call you Attorney.
