One more sem to go...

It is definitely funny how we love to embrace the inconsistencies present in our daily lives. One moment we are joining the chants against some good for nothing politicians, the next we are lashing out those who advocate truth and fairness in the microcosm of our society- our school.

I am a strong believer of fairness and honesty in all my dealings. Primmish as it may sound, but I never really find the idea of compromising my intergrity in order to advance my interest as something that's invigorating. My non-conventional belief always gets the raised brows from my colleagues who perceive me as manang and so backward-ish (with my regular party mode and fashion-focused attitude, I do get that comment, you know). I guess, this was embeded during my formative years and was reinforced when I had my education in St. Jo. For some, it's too much to handle. But for me, I'd rather get the ire of those who hate boat rockers than not be able to sleep soundly at night because of the continuous bugging of my conscience.

Ok, enough with the rant. I was silent for quite some time due to ubiquitous stuffs that I had to accompish ie. study for finals and cbo- related activities. Nonetheless, the latter part of the sem turned out really great and interesting. Some highlights...

1. Supreme Court Oral Argument. Seeing the gods of our judicial system was fabulous. Of course, watching them excoriate the luminaries in the legal profession during the oral argument in their of-so-cute robes with all the works was purely divine.

2. Usual dinner with some close friends in the institute. I know, we had a lot dinners this sem but I do consider them as crazy moments in law school. A nice walk in our very own "Central Park" (coined by Piolo) while donning on court attires after pigging out at Estero and raiding Eng Bee Tin is our idea of chilling out.

3. Phone/text marathons. I never thought that I'm still capable of making telebabad after highschool. My 6 hours phone marathon with a classmate was really cool. What started as the usual "Do you have a landline?" question ended with a very long convo. Well, that's the effect of our torture criminal law finals. argh!~

4. Shopping with the girls. It started during our Supreme Court gig. After that, a trip to the mall with Vanj and Reig became a ritual. Haha

5. CLASE common prayer time. I just love the idea of praying with your friends. I still have this belief that god will heed our prayes if there are a lot of us praying for the same thing. I just hope our prayers as regards our taxation law grade will not be left unanswered *sigh*
