Just a few minutes ago, the campaign period for local positions OFFICIALLY started.
Emphasis has to be placed on “officially” because, unless you’re blind or you choose not to see, posters had long mushroomed everywhere you look – walls, fences, trees, houses, posts, electric cables, buses, trucks, pots, pans, practically anywhere that a small amount of [...]

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End
All work and no play makes the Atty-at-Work a dull boy, er, man. I believe I said that in one of the posts here, but can’t recall which one, just like the way I can’t recall the last movie I saw on the big screen. Maybe it’s the Lord of the Rings or [...]

Old kids on the (law school) Block
I met a law school blockmate while at a Court of Tax Appeals (CTA) hearing this morning. As you may have guessed, a “blockmate” is a classmate that’s in the same “block”, or something called “section” (remember Atis, Venus or Diamond in high school?), that you’re in. In UP-Law, hopefuls are herded into Blocks A, [...]
Cebu Pacific: The “on time, great value airline”

There’s iBlog3, or the 3rd Philippine Blogging Summit, which is scheduled on April 13-14, 2007 at the U.P. College of Economics auditorium. There are various interesting topics, including humor, [...]
Driving Therapy: Going Away from the City
Getting up early in the morning for an out-of-town hearing is something to look forward to. Well, not particularly the getting-up-real-early part, but the thought the out-of-town trip. It’s always a welcome therapy. The long drive along traffic-free expressways (try NLEX or the Star Tollway at the South) and provincial roads satisfies one’s need [...]
