Noble Profession

"People do not win fights. Lawyers do."  -Norman Ralph Augustine It was yesterday, March 19 2014 when the Supreme Court of the Philippines announced and released the results of 2013 BAR Examinations that was held last October 2013, those four Sundays that aspiring lawyers- Bachelor of Laws graduates took to officially put their names on the prestigious Roll of Attorneys in the Philippines. Four  nerve-wrecking Sundays that the examiners went through and I will never fathom what they have been through, what they all have felt every Sunday of that month. I just could not imagine. The Philippines should be rejoicing and be happy to welcome our new, young and fresh Lawyers, ready to take on anything. I personally hope for these new breed of justice-seekers to do their job well, abide by the Code of Professional Responsibility that was taught to them and always be moral in all their ways. And above all, uphold the Law. I myself is aspiring to be a Lawyer someday. It has...

Because her heart is bigger than her.

So today was a fine day. Woke up particularly early to study and decided to do it at the heart of the city over coffee and a bad tasting chicken turnover. (Sorry 'bout that, I don't want to lie.) Forcing my feet up, went outside the coffee shop, feeling the crisp, cold summer air on my face which traveled towards me whole body making my feet numb. (Why do i have to write that?) I faced today's challenge, that is going to work with a light head due to a sleepless night (SCREW YOU FINALS WEEK! SCREW YOU!!)  As the hours pass, and because i was really consumed of what i was doing, I haven't noticed it's break time already. Surprised, I decided to eat my lunch with my office mate. Just when I was about to think of today as another routine of my slightly boring life, after opening my Facebook, I switched on my curiosity side that urged me to write this post. (I will explain how I came to that later but I know you'll figure out why I wrote this blog in no time.) Oka...

What is Public Service?

(This is a speech that I wrote.. It's a draft.. ) What is Public Service? According to Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary, Public Service is defined as “the business of supplying a commodity (as electricity or gas) or service (as transportation) to any or all members of a community. If Public Service is supplying the needs of the members of a community, it should also be understood to be done whole-heartedly and honestly to the best of the ability of the public servant. Why do I tell you this? To tell you that, you, people of this nation, is the top-most priority of these so-called “public servants” in their desire to help us and to make our lives better. We, the community who should be supplied well enough and be taken cared off, should not suffer and sacrifice but we should live our lives in comfort. Yet why do we still suffer? We can still see people on the streets, eating their meagre food while the so-called “public servants” sit comfortably on their chairs, free of any dust,...

Life via Internet and all other Stuff

(This my own personal view, so If you feel like I have actually hurt you, I'm sorry. Since this is a blog, I am not so much on specifics but i tend to talk on general. So, if you have any opinions about what I said, or any violent reactions, feel free to fire up my comment box and say all those nasty things, I will be accepting them. If I hit anyone below the belt, tell me. Thank You!) When you say online, what comes to mind? Don't fool me, more so yourself that you will just be researching on something, give me your balls if it's not true. (insert super evil laugh) Of course not right? So tell me, what comes to mind? *ting* FACEBOOK ! Screaming inside your brain, that tells you to log in and voila, social networking on progress. There's nothing really wrong with Facebook, or netizens call "Facebooking." You see, the "facebook" now becomes a verb, it's an action word now. (How the world evolves according to the ever mighty internet, right?) ...

A welcome-back-to-blogging Rant.

Yes, i'm finally resurrecting my blog. It has been like what? a year since I have posted so it must be right that I start on doing this stuff again. Writing has been one of my ways to express myself, well probably the very best way I can express myself. I really find comfort in writing, it feels like the wind caressing my face, it really soothes me deep inside. It enables me to realize things i ever thought I would have discovered myself, since while I'm writing my mind is always on the process of analyzing things, or anything. It also is my kind of therapy, I get to explore new things about me, about the things around me, about my feelings, my discoveries, passions, and i get to discover a whole new world that surrounds me. To make sense of my blog title, here's a little "rant" on why I decided to finally put things back to order; that is to re-make my blog. I don't have any other hobby, especially on expressing myself.  It's like, when I write on a...

Mystique Island of Siquijor

Okay. This is a super late post. To be exact, a 2 month old post. (hihihi i got caught up with so many things..hihi) Anyway, this is, i could say, one of the most memorable trip i had yet experienced. All the travel, the heat, the fun, not to mention the FOOD  !, the beach and everything about this trip. Last June 8, me and my family decided to have a little trip of our own, to celebrate my father's 50th birthday. The place my father chose is the Mystique Island of Siquijor. Siquijor is situated in the Visayas, a small island near Dumaguete. It has been called Mystique Island because it has been widely known to all Filipinos about sorcerers and those kinds of mysteries. Of course, at first i had fear, what if? But, all of them was gone, all the fear was replaced with amazement of how lovely, clean and refreshing the place is. The whole island is small, comprising of only 6 municipalities. The whole island can be toured for a day.. One thing that get's you grit your teeth abou...

RANT: Jeepney Ride ala Philippines

"Oh, sibogi lang, palihog lang sibog.. dili lang ta mag side view"  In the Philippines, one of the major mode of public transportation is through riding a Jeepney. The etymology of the word Jeepney came the words, "jeep" and "knee" because from the earlier times, Jeepney's were smaller and has crowded sitting already and passengers must sit knee to knee. According to history, the Philippine Jeepney's did not come from our own because the idea of Jeepney as transportation came about when Filipino's used their creativity and intelligence transforming Military Jeeps that American soldiers sold and gave to the locals before they left the Philippines into full scale transportation Jeepneys. From the original jeeps, the locals refurbished them extending them longer to accommodate more people, adding metal roofs and adding colors and styles from paints to hood designs. To this day, Jeepney's are much bigger, styled, colorful, enhanced...
