In Re Work In Progress POSTED AT 07:16 AM (Not a) Good Morning, everyone. My brother pestered me at around 4am. He was just a little drunk, I think, kept putting the alarm clock by my ear until I just had to wake up and shut him up. He's such a freaking baby sometimes. Little brothers are like that. Got home around 12am (so much for getting home early), slept around 1, then woke up at 4. Life doesn't get better than this. (A more coherent series of paragraphs to follow after class, ok?) (Remind me to write about my Bar Month plans) ... Currently reading: Reviewer in Commercial Law |

In Re Societal Pressure POSTED AT 09:23 AM Not that I have the legal standing to even make this statement, but the Cable News Network's "Best Political Team On Television" is apparently the "Most Biased Political Team On TV" as well. The program in question is the Situation Room, and Wolf Blitzer et. al. are covering the Republican National Convention in Minnessotta. Wolf and the aforementioned political team were doing an interview with former pres. candidate Rudy Giuliani and then it happened. Everyone went on defend-Obama-because-he-won't-hurt-a-fly mode. I'm not one to start professing my love for Republicans, but seriously? I get the fact that the media cannot possibly be perfectly unbiased because like all other business ventures, it is laden with private interests. But come on, guys, you could at least try to ask him more relevant questions, not ones like "Name one positive thing that Obama has done in this race." (This is all just for the sake of venting. If you like to point out the fact that I am a Filipino and that automatically makes me a million degrees removed from American politics--notwithstanding the idea that American politics affects the world, in a sense-- then please, don't bother. I am well aware of that.) ------------------------------------- There really is no societal pressure to just up and pair off, right? I mean, I don't feel it, I honestly do not feel hundreds of pairs of judging eyes whenever I walk around on Valentine's Day with no one. Is it innate, then? That feeling. I don't get it. Yesterday, a friend told me that he was on the process of getting there. I did not realize it then, but I was happy for him. Here is a great guy, who has been waiting for it come, and it did. The question is why do I like being alone so much? I think it's because I've developed this routine. No one must disturb it. Haha. No, no, I'm still happy and issue-less. I really am. But I think that has something to do with why I wrote this entry in the first place. These issues, they were obstacles. They really were. Now that they've been cleared off the road, all I can see is the wide path, and what does one do? Make a mad dash for the finish line. This is the metaphor my mentor gave me. Pace yourself, he said. It's not a race, you're not in competition with anyone. I don't know. Masyado lang siguro ako na-excite sa fact na ang saya ko. I want to share this feeling, it's too intense. Wee! -------------------------------------- Happy Birthday, Bugie! -------------------------------------- Procrastinor ako today. Promise, I shall do the things that I want to do. Ha? Am I making sense? Case brief, set up appointment for mock bar, review comm, review tax, go to tax class, go home early, sleep. Madali lang naman talaga, tinatamad lang ako today. Quadratini Cappuccino and Tiramisu, haha ang sarap na, no trans fat pa. I swear, I'm addicted. Let's do this, PB! Well, folks, I'm off! Beam me up, Scotty! Ha, pakiulit? ...

In Re Not Getting It POSTED AT 09:37 AM Is sarcasm greatly underrated nowadays, or is it just harder to be sarcastic in written language? So much of sarcasm depends on the way one speaks, as in the actual tone of the voice, the way one looks when one is speaking, that much of what you're trying to convey is lost in translation when expression is done in writing. Should there be some sort of a written symbol for sarcasm? Then again, the idea of sarcasm being humorous, or at the very least, vexing (haha--if that is the desired reaction), depends of the implicit demand exacted upon the hearer to understand the sarcastic nature of the text--that is, sarcasm is funny only when one understands it without it having been explained to him. ------------------------------------ You know what? You are what she says you are. I wholeheartedly agree. Non dirmi che non capisco, anche. Je ne vous hais. Je viens de ne pense pas que nous allons être de bons amis. ------------------------------------ Kain tayo ng Soylent Green. Hahaha.

In Re Wherdy POSTED AT 06:33 PM This is the fifth day that classes are cancelled. I hate to sound nerdy and whiny (or wherdy, or nerny), but, really? I had to come to school and scare myself silly with thoughts of recit, and then you're gonna cancel the class? At least I went to the gym. The day is not as wasted as I thought. Plus, I get to finish Rem notes. Okay, so maybe I don't want my Rem prof to come to school tomorrow, but that doesn't mean I don't want my Civ prof to attend class. ---------------------------- UPDATE: Turns out I am one of four people in a 40-person class to pass the Commercial Law Review midterms. So bitching about my grade would garner death stares. But really, it wasn't the grade I was hoping for. Okay, back to work. ... Currently listening to: La Boheme- Act IV |
