firm gimmicks

how's the firm?

• this march 3, the firm will be heading off to manaoag to formalize its pilgrimage to be an annual tradition. this year will be the second. aside from giving thanks for the blessings (read: profits) given last year, we will also join ren and celline, our underbar associates from ateneo, to pray for a successful outcome of their bar exams. afterwhich, we will be billeting at the fontana leisure parks for some rest and fun... i was tasked to head the organization of the event and was a bit apprehensive about accepting the task. why not? it means responsibility for everyone's enjoyment. hehehe. i was busy finalizing the reservations last week, calling up the transpo for the coaster, making projected expense reports and planning the itinerary. i just hope that everything turns okay.

• last february 16, we had our monthly fellowship night. a vote was cast this time as to what the activity will be. the choices are: (1) cinema, (2) bowling, (3) concert, and (4) comedy bar. votes were taken and the first choice got an overwhelming number of votes. the third choice was a bit costly din kasi. afterwhich, we had a vote as to what movie to watch at shangrila. i forgot what the options were. but since we do not want the boys to be bored and that the only movie shown at the "premiere" is ghostrider, we went for that one then. the movie is a no-brainer. if i was the one who paid for my ticket, i would definitely have gone amuck. sure, nicolas cage is still a hottie (but that scene wherehe showed his bod, totoo ba yun?) and eva mendes' curves still enviable; kaso the story really sucks. jen and i just had ourselves amused by me throwin Qs whether johnny's arrest was lawful, or whether he can be held criminally liable or what was the crime committed. hehehe. to which jen naman would entertain, hehehe. since we had a heavy merienda at the office prior to watching, the girls went off to starbucks-shang, the boys at croc grill, and the lone partner who was able to join us that night went home. twas fun. siyempre libre e.

• i was handling this case for a boss, pro bono. bp22. didnt file a counter-affidavit! dang! but then, i had to stop worrying. as long as may remedy, di ba niq? hehehe. true enough, what you stuffed your head with during law school is a meager 1/4 of what you need for practice. 3/4 comes from experience.

• lit(litigation) work starting to increase. can't be happier. oh i miss lit! it's like PAV; the more it shows its non-affection towards me, the more i get close to it. pagpilitan ang sarili. and i don't care! =)

• free lunch starting tomorrow.

• and oh, petition for tax shield seemed to be denied.
