When it Becomes a Deadly Profession

They say that any profession can be deadly if you are at the wrong time and at the wrong place.  Being a lawyer multiplies that probability don't you think?  Being a lady lawyer is another challenge.

In past months,  news from ISIS-held parts in Syria reported about three female lawyers being executed just for one reason -- being educated.  Sad news but if this is true, this is one of the cases when being a lady lawyer becomes liability.  The lady lawyers are said to have previously run for elective posts before the fundamentalists took over their areas.

It is a fact that the practice of legal profession is rife and involved with extreme emotions from both sides of the fence,  why would they go to court in the first place if the feeling is otherwise.  Being prepared if you are a female, male, from LGBT, is therefore a must in such a case.

It is best to be always ready, get some sort of protection especially if you are a lady lawyer.  This is not about violence, this is about protecting yourself when the need arises.  I am not talking about guns (though that can be really handy),  I am talking about arming yourself with real self-defense training even without the use of a weapon.

I am not a lawyer yet,  but boy, I will do every thing possible to protect myself if and when I do become one.  There are a lot of martial arts classes women can talk which can do on weekends or even night after work. I took one before, it is an Israeli army based style of self-defense. It was fun and a great learning experience that I would advise every female law student should take.

These are tough times and it won't get any better, I can assure you that.

The Blogger
Hi! I'm a law student from Manila, Philippines.  I did Political Science, then Industrial Relations major in H.R. (postgrad) studies from UP.  I vlog, weightlift, experiment with new makeup looks, try Bollywood and bellydance steps, and rant about my cray life in my YouTube channel.  Once in a blue moon, I create content for another YT channel,  10+ blogs,  20+ FB pages and in HubPages.  Check out my official site.  

Focus, Focus

I focus better when it involves food. :)

I noticed my dwindling interest in reading and find it hard to focus and motivate myself.  I only got a couple topics left but here I am needing a truckload of motivation.  This means I am in real deep trouble.

I admit,  I like to do many things all at the same time.  The variety fuels me and keeps me from getting bored.  Law school however is like a jealous and demanding lover.  It wants my undivided attention, unwavering commitment, dedication, and my loyalty.  If you are a restless soul like me,  being in law school is akin to being tied down in chains for the equivalent of four or five years.  It is like being married to someone not your soul-partner, or something like that, maybe.

These days,  I am addicted to everything fitness: cardio, strength-training, weight loss, fat-burning, the whole works.  I am so consumed with it that I become voracious for learning new things, new exercises,  weightlifting stuff and all of these take a huge chunk of my time.

Focus will lead to positive results and I am losing weight slowly but surely.  I am seeing amazing changes in my physique that I never imagined possible, I mean not even in my wildest dreams.

When you see results  in a matter of weeks,  it is addicting and pushes you to do more of it because you know that your efforts are effective.   I am not saying that law school will not lead me somewhere but it just takes a little more time for me to get there. There's the graduation,  the review, the bar exams itself and then the waiting.

On days that I miss my jogs, walks or gym workout I become restless.  I wish I could say the same when I miss my readings.  Actually I made a reading plan to serve as my guide so that I can review systematically.  Unfortunately,   right now that plan remained a plan,  the execution is just not happening.

Despite this, I am fully aware of the consequences if I don't straighten up.  I know that I'll be 'forced' to seriously do skydiving this year (I wish!) and work also on my digital marketing endeavors.

The thing is,  I have this obsession that if I do something then I have to excel in it.  For me, the worst thing one can do is to waste time and effort on something and end up with a mediocre product.

Focus. Focus on reading. Focus on everything law.  God help me.
