JD = Janna's Defense

So yesterday, I defended my thesis for law school. It was the first time I went through something like that and it really was an unforgettable experience. The defense lasted for an hour and there were three panelists asking me questions and commenting on my paper. It was very challenging and difficult and I'm really glad it's all over now. :)

I was just so happy when I heard from the Thesis Center that I had already been graded for my work. They actually liked my written output. Yay!

My girlfriends accompanied me to the thesis defense area. They were so supportive and I love them so much!

When it was over, I cried. I felt mixed emotions. My friends were still there, waiting for me. Also, Nikko showed up with a bouquet of flowers. My mom, who went to the chapel met up with us, too and treated us to dinner. I am just so blessed to have loving people around me.

Here are some photos:

Thesis it.

Yesterday, I went to school to research for my 50-page Juris Doctor (JD) thesis, which is due on June 18. I'm lucky to have found a topic that really interests me but even though that's the case, to date, I still have to accomplish 25 more pages.

My topic is on the principle of non-discrimination with regard to the citizenship of an adopted child of a Filipino and the citizenship of a minor child of a naturalized or repatriated Filipino citizen. When a foreign child is adopted by a Filipino citizen, the child doesn't follow the Filipino citizenship of his or her adopter. However, a minor legitimate, illegitimate, or adopted child of a naturalized or repatriated Filipino citizen follows the citizenship of such Filipino citizen upon filing a petition and paying filing fees. I just find it discriminating and I believe that the adopted child should also be given the same opportunity.

Anyway, my outfit yesterday was composed of an animal-printed sleeveless blouse, black jeans and clogs. Here are some outfit photos:

Blouse - gift from my Mom; Jeans - gift from Tita Gina; Clogs - So! Fab; Bag- Prada; Necklace - Boracay

Powerplant Mall's always a good place to take outfit photos 'cause of the lighting. Haha.
