@hizonkate Di ko maexplain yung hirap as in sobra sobra. Mabaliw baliw ako during review. Siguro every night ang sched ko ng pag breakdown. Many times, I doubted myself but with God’s grace and of course the support of my family, I made it. Sabi ko babalik ako ng tiktok pag lawyer na ko. So hello, everyone. It’s nice to be back. Namiss ko kayo. Thank you to all my silent supporters. Mahal ko kayo 🥺❤️ #hernandidit💜⚖️ #lawyer2023 ♬ Leaves - Ben&Ben
