		<description><![CDATA[Allow me to deviate from the usual legal matters and take time to congratulate my alma mater&#8217;s basketball team, the UP Fighting Maroons. The Maroons won, 69-61, against the UE Red Warriors in the UAAP Season 74 game yesterday, July 14. No, it&#8217;s not the championship. The season has just started. One win is really [...]]]></description>

The long drive, the hunger, the heat, everything resulted to a terrible headache. But somehow the pain seemed to disappear as the announcement sank [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There’s an art in giving gifts, something that my wife has mastered. Women are experts in giving great gifts. They probably knew it from the moment they were born. They take time thinking about what to give to someone. Coupled with another favorite hobby — shopping — women find great satisfaction in choosing and giving [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Striking a balance between career and family is never easy. Even superheroes are confronted with the dilemma of choosing between spending time with a loved one or saving the world. Ask Batman or Spiderman. Or even Superman. They would probably tell you (rather, you’d probably read) not only that with great power comes great responsibility, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[All work and no play kills a lawyer, well, everyone. Maybe I don&#8217;t need to cite statistics to prove that work-related stress and pressure are the usual culprits in illness/sickness (and, unfortunately, death) among lawyers. True, so many of us have learned to cope and deal with stress, but that&#8217;s not a guarantee that stress [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At some point in our lives, we may experience unbearable pain, so unbearable that we’d welcome death just to end it all. Many had succumbed, and many more will give in, to this temptation of escaping from all the pain that the world has to give. Around two years into my law practice, I experienced [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recall watching the last episode of CSI Las Vegas Season 6, with the statement of Grissom to the effect that he prefers having a cancer because he could prepare for his death and he could say goodbye to his loved ones. In contrast, of course, is the view that death should be more like [...]]]></description>

On a long drive weaving through heavy Metro Manila traffic on my way to a morning court hearing, an FM dj mentioned Arnel Pineda&#8217;s name and that he is the newest vocalist of the rock band Journey.

Like now, I&#8217;m stuck here in court since 1:30 while waiting for the judge to arrive (added: it&#8217;s now 3:00 p.m., and we were just told that hearings are cancelled). We waited this morning, as we were told [...]]]></description>
