What's with the last barops that made me and anoi instant celebs? I guess the idea of some seniors having a fun night was too much for other bummed out singles to bear. As for me, I just don't wanna miss this opportunity to syndicate abbey's blog for fear of letting such cheesy and involuntary-smile-causing post form part of my memoirs :) But before that, I just wanna say that the first Doctrine's (initially for me and another guy) a MISCONCEPTION. If a guy is always with you the entire duration of the activity, so what? Well, ok. I don't want to be estopped or anything so here's the post.
Abbey writes...
Rose Lyn and Annoi, all things being equally jaded, have formulated two bar-month dogmas, FEU Law style.
The Doctrine of Unspoken Language of Love:
Typical FEU-IL set-up, Pseudo-BF-GF. Girl loves boy, boy loves girl. Neither of them is doing anything about it. They're always together and inseparable in such a way that seeing one without the other impairs the essence they represent as a whole. Not a fling, not together, probably not true love, but like I've already said, neither is doing anything about it. The love is so painfully obvious to everybody else but them.
The Doctrine of Deliciously Romantic Evening:
Involves four instances: (1) Boy is taken, girl isn't; (2) Girl is taken, boy isn't; (3) boy and girl are both taken; (4) both are single.
Whichever of the above applies, it can only be reduced to this: whatever magic or spark existed between them, it was only for a particular moment or evening. After that, it's back to reality, life goes on, and it is as if nothing happened. Casual-Casualan lang.
If you've ever crushed on someone from school, or work, or wherever, you know you have fallen prey to either of the two.
I am anxiously waiting next bar Saturday's incidents. Until then!
Life is one big debate tournament. You travel for out-of-town venues, do foodtrips along the way, party during break nights, get disappointed for missed opportunities, cheer during victorious moments, cry over bad adjudication or wrong decisions, but you only need your friends and loved ones to make everything tolerable.

Three days of fun,fun and lotsa fun
A lot of things happened for the last couple of days.
I attended EA’s despedida last Friday. It was a very rainy evening but the party was uber-fun. Met up with some of my college pals and it was a very memorable night. I’m praying that EA will have a fabulous life in Australia i.e. achieve his dream of becoming an ambassador. Last words/bilin from EA…”Rose Lyn, pagbalik ko, lawyer ka na.”
*********
I definitely enjoyed our hotel ops. My batch mates and I had a lot of bonding moments. New personalities were discovered and new friendships were made. I just love the idea of talks over any kind of drink. It’s very revealing and relaxing at the same time. With a no non-sense chum, you wouldn’t go wrong. I also did some chillaxing with my newly discovered goofy friend. Teehee…
Some witty seniors came up with two Doctrines/Principles considered as apropos for the hotel ops…
a.) Principle of Deliciously Romantic Evening; and
b.) Principle of Unspoken Language of Love
(Oh brother! Haha)
Watching the cheering competition with them was a blast! It was like Janice Dickenson with her gang critiquing some America’s Next Top Model hopefuls. Well, you know what I mean. Haha.
**********
I woke up pretty early last Monday to meet my 9 am call time. I was asked to judge an extemporaneous speech competition together with lucky and mark and it went ok. I also got some nice chats with my friend, lucky. Oh, I saw joeven and he was like…”Friend, I’m very unfortunate…”. His cellphones and digicam were stolen. CRAP! Too bad the only comforting words I was able to utter were… “Joevz, Shit happens.” . That’s double crap for me. BUMMER!

Freaks!
Have you ever had that ultra-weird day that every single thing seemed well, freakish? I just had mine yesterday.
I was so damn tired last sunday so I wasn't able to wait for the Political Law bar questions til evening. So when Ken called me up yesterday and said that there was a freak question, I was kinda disappointed/excited. Disappointed coz I wasn't there to share the bumfest mood of the barristers when they went out of la salle and excited coz no matter how freakish the question was, it's still, you know, a bar question.
Moving on, Ken called to discuss some stuffs regarding our gradpics. The convo was like that for a couple of minutes when he asked me if I was able to read the bar freak question. I said no but naturally, I also asked what it was. Here's the question. Who is the current head of the International Court of Justice and what is his/her nationality (well, to that effect). When I heard the question, I nearly screamed " she's a girl from europe! Rosalyn Higgins!!!!!". He was like, how the hell did you happen to know her?! I just said that I love international law and fond of international relations cum current events. Pretty freakish of me huh?! *grin*
The second freaky thing was the news on the death of a famous crocodile hunter because he was stung by a stingray. What the... Now that's freakish. In the first place, what the hell was he doing underwater when he was supposed to be in a swamp dealing with some crocodiles? Secondly, well a crocodile hunter dying because of a sting ray's just plain... strange!
Oh well, I hope i'll have a more normal day with equally normal news to listen to.
