After watching a random celebrity “What’s in my bag?” video, I got curious (or maybe just nosy, lol) and started asking everyone the same question. So, what’s in your bag? Or, if you’re not the type to carry one, what’s in your pockets?

This is an interesting ask! Thank you for including me. 😚

My essentials in my bag, the ones that I always carry with me are:

Keys to my place

Wallet

Laptop / Tablet

Pens and highlighters

Vicks inhaler

Eyedrops

Lip balm

Alcohol spray

Mint

26/100 days of productivity

July 25, 2025

Woke up around 8:30 am and did an easy run. I was able to run for 8.33 kilometers under 1 hour. I admit, after a week of not running, I really struggled with sustaining my endurance again, that's why I'm determined to get back on track this week and on the following weeks that will follow.

Went out to get a haircut.

As a class representative, I sent emails to the Office of the City Prosecutor, Public Attorney's Office, and the Philippine National Police in our region to request for permission to conduct court observation.

I delegated the new cases assigned to us for our Remedial Law Review class.

I read the case assigned to me for Practice Areas in Legal Ethics class, which is funny because coincidentally, the case title was "Perez v. Catindig" and my last name is Perez. I was teased in class when the case was called, and our professor asked "Are you related to the Perez in this case?". I had a great time reciting the said case.

Held a meeting for our group in Practice Court for the upcoming moot court that we will be holding.

I have also updated our professor in Practice Court and Remedial Law Review on the important updates for each subject.

I went to sleep at around 1:00 am last night, and awoke mid-sleep at around 4:00 am. Consequently, I overslept until 10:00 am. It was a bad start to my morning, but I refused to be affected by that.

I immediately did my morning strength training. My body is still sore from my strength training last Monday, but I'm just glad to actually show up for my health today.

Afterwards, I worked on the revisions on the transcript and digital book for work.

I did a bit of reading for our Labor Law Review class. Our class tonight was pretty chill, but the quiz was kind of difficult.

Not to toot my own horn, but the amount of "how are you so good at writing" compliments I receive here in tumblr is heart-warming and overwhelming. I don't really consider myself as a good writer, but perhaps because of how I arrange my thoughts and how I convey them (a skill I learned in law school) in my writing.

I intend to wake up at 8:00am but I snoozed my alarm, and woke up at 9:30am instead.

Finished all of my work tasks which are kind of dreadful, but I just powered through it.

At 4pm, I mustered up the motivation to stick to my run schedule since the weather is better already compared to last week. I did my tempo run for 5 kilometers. I could feel that my body feels heavier after a week of not running. Back to square one, I guess.

I studied for our Civil Law Review class, particularly on Marriages.

I was kind of disappointed when I was asked questions on Obligations and Contracts when we are still on the topic of Marriages. My mood went sour after that.

I really wanted to incorporate the philosophy of stoicism in my life again. I wanted to have a better handle of my emotions, and my reactions to the inconveniences that I encounter everyday.

I love this day. Pumunta ako sa bahay namin to cook lunch for the family. I cooked pork steak and pancit. Tapos nag inuman kami ng brother ko and my cousin in law. Topic namin is self-improvement, laws, and current political issues.

It was a really gentle day, and kung pwede lang sana we could stay longer, di pwede kasi back to reality na ulit bukas.

This week has been really draining.

So much stuff to deal with academically, so much reading to catch up, and may mga pending tasks pa ako for work. May mga sabaw moments pa ako during class. Worse, I missed my run schedules this week kasi either 10 am na ako nakakagising, or because of the weather na din. My days are still productive, pero it's a struggle.

I'm hoping for a gentle but still productive week this coming Monday. For now, I'll get some rest.

I was not able to run today because I woke up at 9am, and it was raining the whole day.

I just worked on our infographic for the Practice of Law, and I'm pretty proud of what I have finished— except the part that my group mates are kind of unappreciative even if I basically carried the whole group. This is why I would have been okay with this if this was an individual project.

Paid all my bills.

Created a google drive repository for our Court Observation submissions for Practice Court.

We had online classes for Legal Ethics Review for today since the weather and flooding is still bad in our area.

Was thinking about going for a run after class at 8pm, but it was still raining, so I just hope I could run tomorrow morning.

I was supposed to run early in the morning but I was not able to because I turned off my alarm. It's a bummer, but I guess I'll do a long-slow distance run tomorrow morning.

I spent the whole day making our group flowchart for small claims.

I was able to study for State Immunity for our Political Law class, and it turned out that we will only be having online classes because of flooding in certain areas in our place.

We had an online group discussion for our report on Expedited Rules of Procedure. We only have one more deliverable which is practice of law that I will be working on tomorrow morning.

Was not able to write an entry yesterday because I need to sleep early.

We just had our Civil Law Review class last night. I was able to answer first two questions during the recitations, but I was not able to answer the last question because I forgot the enumerations on marriages that are exempt from securing marriage license. :((

I woke up around 6:30am to prepare my court observation form.

We had our first court observation. It was really interesting, but it was surprisingly short. There were 6 calendared cases for today, but most of it are for resetting. We were only able to observe the arraignment and pre-trial of one case wherein the defendant was allegedly accused of acts of lasciviousness (complainant was allegedly forced to touch the defendant's genitals).

Currently working on our flowchart for Rules of Expedited Procedure in First-level courts.

3. A song you'd choose to introduce someone to your favorite genre

Favorite genre will always be rock, and if I want someone to listen to rock (who's presumably di nakikinig ng rock), I'd choose this song. Di sya masyadong maingay, and the song is beautifully written, lalo na yung lyrics.

Thank you so much for the ask, Daph! @dakilanggerlpren

Woke up at 7am to do my recovery run. Was able to run for 5 kilometers under 37 minutes.

While waiting for my body to cool down from the run, I drafted a letter request for the Office of the Clerk of Court to allow our class to conduct our court observation. Kind of excited to have my scheduled court observation this coming Wednesday. Time to have a hair cut and buy some fresh formal clothes tomorrow, I guess.

Was able to extensively study for Remedial Law Review for almost 5 hours. I was able to digest 5 assigned cases as well as cover Rule 6 to 13 under the Rules of Court.

I was disappointed to lose my saved up focus points on the Flora app because I forgot that I was already in session in my phone and not on my tablet.

We had a quiz earlier, and I got a good enough score. I was also called to recite and I was able to answer correctly.

Today was a chill day. I woke up around 9am and immediately assigned the cases in the syllabus for our Remedial Law Review class.

The weather was sunny during the morning and transitioned to a gloomy one during the afternoon, and it rained hard at night.

I reviewed our past lessons for Political Law Review, and took the quiz. I am pretty confident with my answers since what I studied actually came out.

I am way past my calorie deficit and sugar intake already since I ate bread and a chocolate drink after I went home because the weather was perfect for it. But it's okay.

Drafted a "position paper" for a friend who's currently fighting for the custody of his child because of the violent tendencies of his girlfriend. It's sad, but I genuinely fear for the welfare of his child.

Woke up at 8am and just like yesterday, I really mustered up the strength to get up and force myself to do my scheduled interval run. The run was really intense and I don't like it, but it was fulfilling afterwards.

I cooked a good delicious breakfast for myself.

I finished all the revisions for the finished digital books for work.

Studied for our class Legal and Judicial Ethics Review and Practice Questions.

Was able to draw and draft a flowchart for the procedure regarding cases falling under Summary Procedure.

Our class today was just chill, and I'm glad we are under the supervision of one of the best professors in our law school.

Went home by 8:30pm and assigned Remedial Law Review cases for the class.

Woke up at 7am and mustered the courage and will to go for a run, and I did. It was a fulfilling easy 5.6 kilometer run. Although there's no roundabout route in my secondary jogging place, it was nice because it's surrounded by trees thus there's plenty of shade even if the sun is already up.

I worked on my notes for Political Law Review, read the case assignments, and wrote case digests.

Went to the law library at around 3pm to continue studying.

The class in Political Law Review tonight was super chill, and it's kind of surprising because our professor is known to be notorious during class.

Two friends called me today, asking for legal questions regarding their situations. I gave them my opinion, but I remind them afterwards that I'm still not a lawyer, so they should take my inputs with a grain of salt.

Was super grateful for my friends for giving me a goodie bag from Korea filled with lots of chocolates, and although I am minimizing my sugar intake and would like to stay away from sugary stuff, I'm still grateful since I can just eat these during my cheat days.
