Tax Benefit

Our professor in Tax 2 told us her own story of coping up with Law School. During the times when she's just starting she realized how hard law school is. So far from her expectation. She thought that after her bachelor's degree in the same university, law school will be easy. Aside from the pile of books and cases to be read, it's hard for a commuter like her to find enough time to study. And so after one semester or two (if I'm not mistaken) she took a leave of absence just to think if she really wants to be a lawyer.

Listening through her story, I pictured myself during those times when I was confused if I really wanted to be a lawyer. I remember those times when I am having a hard time focusing on my studies. Those times were really tough because I really do not know exactly what I want to do in my life. There are times when I want to get a job because I want to earn money to buy the things I want. It's just hard to see myself still living dependently with my parents. With my age, I felt I just need to move out.

Listening to her story, I got inspired. Well, aside from the constant inspiration she gives me everytime she holds class (hehe!!), her story was an inspiration to me. Sort of a tax benefit! :) I never believed a bar-topnotcher like her would experience the difficulty and confusion I've once experienced. I admired her strength in coping up with said confusion.

Reflecting on what she told in class last Monday, I can say that I really want to be a lawyer and I believe despite the failures I experienced or yet to experience, no one would hinder my dream, except myself. So from this moment on, I'll stop procrastinating, and FOCUS on my goal!

KISS FROM A ROSE- CURRENT LSS

There used to be a greying tower alone on the sea.
You became the light on the dark side of me.
Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill.
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and
The light that you shine can be seen.
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
Ooh,
The more I get of you,
Stranger it feels, yeah.
And now that your rose is in bloom.
A light hits the gloom on the grave.
There is so much a man can tell you,
So much he can say.
You remain,
My power, my pleasure, my pain, baby
To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny.
Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby?
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen.
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
Ooh, the more I get of you
Stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom.
A light hits the gloom on the grave,
I've been kissed by a rose on the grave,
I've been kissed by a rose
I've been kissed by a rose on the grave,
...And if I should fall along the way
I've been kissed by a rose
...been kissed by a rose on the grave.
There is so much a man can tell you,
So much he can say.
You remain
My power, my pleasure, my pain.
To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny, yeah
Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby.
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen.
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
Ooh, the more I get of you
Stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the grave.
Yes I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey
Ooh, the more I get of you
Stranger it feels, yeah
And now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the grave
Now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the grave.

DREAM ON!

Lately I've been dreaming a lot. I don't know if it's because there's a dream catcher hanging in my room, or it's because I am just thinking a lot of people. Whatever the reason is, I don't like the dreams I am having, especially when it hinges on death and failure.

Now, why do we have dreams? They say that there can be a lot of stimulus which results in dreams. It may be stress, excitement, drugs or even a movie or tv show you just watched. But despite a lot of research, our knowledge of the origin and purpose of dreams is still inconclusive.

I've read that a dream is a story revealed through images that our brain creates while we’re asleep. Dreams are an expression of our unconscious mind, which runs free only when we’re sleeping. Because a dream comes from us, we can probably learn something about ourselves when we examine a dream closely. But it would be hard to examine it closely when we do not really recollect the details of our dreams.

Scientists still have not reached a consensus explaining why we dream. There are two main kinds of explanations for why people dream:

* Physical explanations: Physical explanations for dreaming are varied. One theory suggests that dreaming helps the brain to incorporate memories, thereby increasing the brain’s ability to learn. Another theory proposes that dreams are simply random physiological responses to electric impulses in the brain and that they don’t actually carry the deeper meaning we often attribute to them.

* Psychological explanations: The most common psychological theory for dreams explains that they help us to sort through the events and feelings of the day. According to this theory, we dream about events and feelings that are most important to us, which allows our unconscious minds to make sense of crucial information while disregarding the rest. Another psychological explanation holds that our dreams allow us to express fears or anxieties we weren’t aware we had, thereby letting us learn more about ourselves.

Based from my recollection of the dreams I had, I tend to agree on the psychological explanations why we dream. I believe those dreams I had are just a product of the anxieties I am having right now. The fears I have long kept and never expressed manifest in my dreams, well maybe reminding me that it's alright to express them with those people important to me.
