I skimmed through Human Rights law book that my girlfriend has. My, oh my, the list of cases is already giving me the feels (lengthy cases). Most were supposedly read and discussed in Constitutional law class though (but not mine).

Anyway, have a good day! 💜

Happy Pride month!

Hello, tumblrworld, it has been a while. I do apologize for my long absence–a month at least, if I'm not mistaken. A lot has happened since and wow, I have lots to tell!

WEEK BEFORE FINAL EXAM

As part of tradition for (most) law school here in our country, we celebrate the last meeting for every class with food, token(s) and the inevitable class picture. Yes, it was quite costly. But it may also serve as last appeal to the good will of the "gods" a. k. a. professors.

FINAL EXAM WEEK

I was prepared for most my classes and I was satisfied! I even spent less on coffee, which was really something. The only downside was that my CivPro suffered. I need lots of prayers for that one!

WEEK AFTER FINAL EXAM

I celebrated the end of the semester by sleeping for over 12 hours. Law is exhausting and it is worth it!

JUNE 8TH // TREE PLANTING DAY

This day, so far, is the highlight of my year. We travelled four hours from Pasay City to Quezon province; trekked for almost an hour to reach Mts. Banahaw and San Cristobal Protected Landscape; planted three Narra seedlings each, for a total of 300!

[Photos: On the way to Protected Landscape; Narra seedlings!]

There is law requiring this. Unfortunately, there's no penalty provided for failure to comply. Thus, it is not strictly enforced.

PRESENT DAY

I returned to my hometown for a bit. My mom got into a minor accident so I have to stay and assist her for a while. Good thing she didn't suffer serious injury!

This week, I:

Sleep early now and get at least 8 hours of sleep

Wake up mostly between 5-6 am

Often go for a run early morn for most days

Schedule short review in Criminal Procedure

Eat more fruits and drink smoothies now

So, that's it!

For those currently on vacation, ya'll enjoy because you sure earned it!

For those with classes/exams, hang in there! You're doing a great job. Best of luck for your exams!

For the rest, ya'll have a good day! 💜

Another weekend has come. We're supposed to have our 'power quiz' on both Negotiable Instruments law and Insurance law today, but last week's cancellation moved everything else by one meeting. Will we have quiza nd recitation? I hope not.

This week:

Exercise right of suffrage

Natural Resources law report

Lands, Titles & Deeds lecture/recit

Negotiable Instruments law lecture

Insruance law lecture

Civil Procedure lecture (last day!)

Also, yes, I am using two different apps for focus. 😅

Ya'll have a great weekend! 💜

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 007, 008, 009, 010 of 131 //

My weekend was quite tiring—physically and mentally—and it will be for the next few months. Readings start to pile up and additional requirements (those case digests!) are lining up as well.

The past four days, I:

Attended Public International Law (still no professor, and will most likely be the same next meeting because he is with our school reps for moot court competition in Korea)

Attended Credit Transactions class

Attended Criminal Procedure class

Studied for Agency, Trusts & Partnership (ATAP) class

Attended Alternative Dispute Resolution class (our professor is the only Filipino in the approved faculty list of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators)

Attended English for Lawyers 2 (gotta flex our professor here, too; we get to learn study techniques from the world's fastest reader!)

Wednesday is a regular holiday so, thank goodness I don't have to study for Human Rights, yet.

Agenda for the next few days:

Study for Criminal Procedure

Study and write notes for ATAP

Attend ATAP class

Study and write notes for Credit Transactions

Day 002 of 131 //

Today, I:

Attended Criminal Procedure class [no professor yet]

Scanned an old ass book for my girlfriend's Conflict of Laws class [they were allowed to because the library has limited copies and it's no longer available in market]

And as I scan the book, I came across the page above. Handwriting suggests that there were three different people who wrote therein, probably in three different times. Who knows? I know that was considered defacing since the book was school's property, but the message got me. It's written in Filipino (with enclosed rough translation) Thus, our—

Quote of the day:

"kamusta ka naman?"

How are you?

"ok lng ikaw?"

I'm fine, and you?

"oo. Ikaw din sana. Magiging abogado ka, kapit lang. :)"

Yes. I hope you are, too. You will be a lawyer, just hold on. :)
