Days 021 & 022 of 131 //

Hello, September!

Yes, today marks the beginning of the -ber months. That probably is not a big deal for most of you. So, let me share a bit of what we have here in the Philippines.

Back in the day, when our season was not either full-on summer or days of tropical storm (in lieu of moonsoon), we get to experience this cold breeze brought by amihan or north east moonsoon starting in the month of September until December, or Christmas season. That’s four months (motly extended until February, when it’s the coldest in countries north of ours) of bed weather, with some days of rains or thunderstorms. This is basically the origin of the Philippines being the country which celebrate Christmas the longest. It’s about the weather. For me, at least. Okay, now I just feel old being able to experience that.

Now, back to productivity. This weekend, I:

Attended Public International Law class (still no professor, but with a promise that we’ll have class next week for sure)

Attended Credit Transactions class (I wasn’t called for recitation!)

Wrote case digests for Criminal Procedure

Studied for Agency, Partnership & Trust recit +quiz

The coming week will be difficult and I’m having trouble keeping it together. I am trying tho. You should, too! Have a good day! 💜

Days 023 & 024 of 131 //

Yesterday, I attended two classes: Alternative Dispute Resolution and English for Lawyers 2. Today, I am to study for Human Rights. However, I am currently sidetracked by the oral arguments in the Supreme Court re Aquino v. Aquino which is about legitimacy of a child.

The counsel for petitioner was getting destroyed. Justice Leonen literally said, non-verbatim,

"You realize you just destroyed your client's case?"

This is law school elevated by 10000.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is what socratic method emulates. It is unforgiving and I hate it so much. But, it prepares, if not save, one from sheer humiliation.

Days 028, 029 & 030 of 131 //

It has already been month and I have so much writing to do. Fortunately, I don't have any backlogs—just some soft copies needing some writing because that's how I revise and remember most things.

The past weekend, I:

Studied for Criminal Procedure

Finally found a ring binder in our local bookstore and a temporary substitute for my pastel highlighter

Went home to visit my mom and my grandmother 💜

Studied for Agency, Trust & Partnership

P.S. the ramen was prepared by my girlfriend. 💜 Ya'll have a great day!

Days 025, 026 & 027 of 131 //

The past few days, I:

Studied for Human rights

Attended HR class (I wasn't called for recitation!)

Woke up early to study for Agency, Trust & Partnership class (but our professor gave us a free cut!)

Studied for Criminal Procedure (I bought the wrong notebook so I have to redo every case digests I've written 🙃)

Added two original mixes to my Clexa Lo-Fi playlist (ayyy one is linked below)

Later today, I need to study for both Public International Law (readings!) and Credit Transactions (cases).

I almost gave up on my Human Rights class because although it is a 2-unit class, the requirements are quite heavy. But after I yesterday's class, I regained some willpower. The fight continues! 💜
