happiness is...
i don't know if it's just the "time of the month" or it's just that i'm getting close to insolvent...
I AM NOT HAPPY.
i read in my friend's shoutout at her friendster account that happiness is just a state of mind. i do not agree. i believe it still is something that comes from inside your heart. you cannot feign it (unlike love or orgasm, hehe). it is something that just springs from inside you. and if you are not, you cannot simply force yourself to be one.

jamaican pattie
yesterday after work, tria, jen and i walked home towards megamall (which is usual). and after last monday's disappointment, finally!!!
we were able to eat our favoritest (jen and i, actually) jamaican pattie! hay, consider that a reward for...for...hmmm...for working our a**es off for more than eight hours!
anyway, most of my billable hours yesterday went to rich boss' friend. i was tasked to come up with ALL the possible defenses in favor of rich boss' friend. when he got it before the partners' meeting (i asked a secretary to put it on his desk, i was afraid of interacting with him), he thanked me and congratulated me for a job well-done. "very good", he said repeatedly. dang! at the back of my mind, i could only say, "boss, i did not exculpate him! those are merely defenses subject to evidence!" hayyy... hope everything will turn out well na lang. kasi naman di ba if you are a defense lawyer, you will never ever admit that your client is liable and you will always come up with all the possible defenses to prove that. it was what i did (took advantage of the "malleability" of law, hehehe), yun lang. i hope i didn't put up false hopes in his mind.
today [april 25] happens to be the oath-taking of the new lawyers. congrats again to my pañeras: ETHEL, JEN O., CAROL, REN, CELLINE, BUDDY NIÑA, BUDDY PAM, BUDDY RICA, CHENG, CLAIRE, and to my pañeros: YURI, RYAN, MELO, RAPHY...and all my other friends, fellow BEDANS, and orgmates. i hope the speech of chief justice puno is as "fabulous" as then chief justice panganiban's.
oh, i had too much of hungry hippo today - la bang discount? hahaha.
and my baby's connected!!! yey!
gotta go. uwi na. tama na pagpapanggap.

things to write about
despite the previous entry, i still ought to write something about the following, no matter how late it may be. no wonder "better late than never" is my favoritest "motto(?)".
anyway, here's what to expect:
1. manaoag pilgrimage (con fontana rendezvous) of the firm
.jpg)
meet everbody
2. the anniversary of the firm at richmonde hotel
tria, me, jen and bom3. the 1st year anniversary of the release of my bar exams (a day before that though, is the "cheesier" one)
4. my "new" lawyer-friends
5. boston legal (woohoo, i sooo love this!)
6. meeting someone...
7. and, having a new "baby"!!!
i hope the suspense will keep everyone glued, hehehe. ;)
sa wakas
after MANY days and a couple of months, me back!
i got three excuses for not being able to post an entry:
1. i was swamped with work.
2. or, it takes eons for me to finish what i was supposed to do.
3. no relevant event to write about.
and why is it that i was able to post an entry? la naman.
1. i was still swamped with work.
2. or put it this way, it takes a lifetime for me to do something.
3. still, no relevant, life-altering event to write about.
eh sa wala lang eh.
