Third Time's The Charm: My Struggles in Becoming a Lawyer


Third time is the charm and it is about time! God really made me trust His will. I was rewarded at the right time. I almost quit and I lost hope. God lifted me up. After taking the bar for three times, I passed the November 2016 Philippine Bar Examinations.

Quick Escape from the Heat with the Family in Tagaytay



Love is spelled as T.I.M.E.. And when it comes to love, second to God is our family. There may be problems faced but all of these will be solved if we have constant people beside us. Even if we're busy, we always find time to be with our family. For 2017, we opted to stay indoors rather than be out and suffer under the scorching heat of the sun.

It could have been another ordinary day for me if not for our struggle to have a day off from stress. Yes, it is away from Batangas just to have a breather. Along with my office mates, we decided to go to Rizal to visit a friend and spend a quality side trip.

Squad Goals: Barkada Getaway and Marriage Proposal in a day (Mt. Talamitam and Layong Bilong River)


It's true. You can't do epic shit with basic people. You have to be with those people who get it. This is our squad, The Workaholics. When everybody else is sleeping, we are not.

Fangirling is a little splash of color in my dull life



From being a normal kid who only knows how to meet expectations, I transformed into a discreet fan girl who has now a colorful life due to KPop.

Living my Life's One Time Offer


YOLO! You only live once! Thus, we must simply enjoy the adventure! We must use well the one time offer of life. This God given chance is not something to be wasted but one that must be treasured and cherished with memories worth living for.

Travel Goals in the Philippines

I was inspired by Travel Book Philippines website to tick off items of almost a hundred things to do in my home country.

Stalking Sandara Park in the Philippines for Penshoppe 2016


Stalking is not really my thing but there is always an exception.

Those years when I was licensed to kill (ADVO moments)

When I entered University of Batangas, I never imagined that I will continue on writing. There was a time that some university writers gave orientation about the student publication, The Westernian Advocate. I only tried my luck and fortunately, I got in. From then on, it started the most adventurous days of my life. I started speaking the second language but I ended up talking via the vernacular. I learned how to be disciplined by being scolded at all times. However, I emerged from a correspondent position up to editorial staff place. I made friends and had a family there. I competed outside the school and had the all expense paid trips outside Batangas.

Meet my Family :)


I am a big dreamer and that is because I am molded by a family who dreams big. This is my first entry to my blog site. 

By the way, I am Kristina Marie Joy B. Andal and I am a twenty six year old "probinsyana" from Batangas. I started this so as to check one of my goals in the bucket list. 

I have a been a huge fan of beauty, fashion and travel bloggers so I would like to take them as my inspiration to finally put up my own. 

I am a writer by heart. During my elementary days, I got frustrated because one of the requirements to be part of the honor roll was to earn credits from extra-curricular activities. So, I applied to be a member of The Little Olcan. I got rejected. It was only during my highschool days that I became a full pledged writer and editor of The Olcan. I participated well in the said organization and other clubs. Hence, I luckily became an honor student from being an ordinary one. 

All of these efforts were due to my family. I never felt being pushed to be on top but it was a feeling that I need to be a responsible child for all of them. I owe everything to them. God knows how I tried to do even the hardest things just to make them be proud of me. 

Yes, I am a descendant of the Andal and Bonsol clans. My father is a retired employee of MIESCOR but he managed to be a purchasing officer of the Landbees Corporation. My mother is a retired public school teacher in Tungal Elementary School.  My brother is a safety engineer in MIESCOR Lemery. My youngerr sister is a Bookkeeper in LandBank Edsa Shaw. My auntie is self employed as load retailer. And I am a government employee in the Provincial Government of Batangas.

I rose from the ranks from being a job order to casual then into a regular employee. I graduated cum laude with a degree in Bachelor of Arts major in Political Science. As of time of posting, I law graduate from the University of Batangas. 

I may be a petite woman but I do have tall aspirations to conquer. I want to do many things for the sake of my family. I am offering my achievements to them. May God let me fulfill their dreams so I can take them to places and give back those sacrifices they made for me. I am posting this blog to confess my love for them and express how much I owe who and what I am today.
