Resurrection

It is still January, the first month of the year, so I suppose I am still allowed to make a New Year resolution entry. Yes, this is my NY post, albeit 19 days late. 

In a conversation with my good friend, Camile, we discussed about our 2015 dreams, goals and resolutions. She said she wants work promotion, better grades in Law school, and an exciting (prolly wild) love life. As for me, I just told her that I want to bring the 2009 Kathryn this year. 

So, who is 2009 Kathryn? She was the broken hearted girl who 1). never missed a Sunday mass; 2). went to Fitness First daily for cardio and Yoga sessions; and 3). dreamt of having a "walk in the park" kind of Law schooling. Now, why do I want to resurrect that girl? Well, my answer is simple: I want THAT version of me BUT hopefully sans a broken heart. 

The church goer. The timing of the Papal visit was perfect. I wanted to renew my faith and God sent Peter's successors. Seeing Pope Francis in the flesh is an indescribable moment. I will never forget the genuine smile He gave me. And so, I resolve never to miss Sunday mass again. 

The Yogi. I vented out all of my heartaches, disappointments and frustrations in FF following my break up with F. In no time, I find myself shopping for sizes 2 and 4 clothes. I know that I have whined about how law schooling made me fat but I know too that I must stop making excuses for my laziness. I must make time to work out because others were able to do the same. I should start psyching myself that I should not feel guilty not reading--- sometimes, I feel that the 2 hours I will be spending in the gym is equal to 70 pages worth of reading, or atleast 10 cases that I could have digested. Crazy eh? Yeah, you have no idea how law schooling is! 

So, anyway, enough of that. I have resolved to lose all of my belly fats and love handles by going back to Yoga. Thank goodness, there are a lot of yoga coupons in group buying sites. In fact, I already bought one from Deal Grocer, in time for the Papal visit holidays.


And this is me after the first session. All muscles in my body were sore that I could not even stand. 


After a week...


I know it is a long way to go, 6 months or so get into the shape/body that I was in 2009. 

The reader. Armed with love for reading, I thought law schooling will be fine, or at least less stressful. What I wasn't prepared for was the amount of provisions that I have to memorize. I really have no problem with cases. In fact, I enjoy reading SCRA. But then again, a good grasp of the codals is what will make me survive the Bar exams. So the goal is to memorize 10 provisions per night. 


There. My resolutions for 2015. I hope that I can do all these things. Well, I can. And I must.
