Rules in Class

Because the judicial department has the Rules of Court, law schools should have a Rules in Class.

Rule 1: Never begin with the assumption that the professor will only discuss so little in so much time. As a corollary, don't fool around with Murphy's law. It's a bitch.

Conquer the World

What I learned today in Property:

Intelligent people should be busy spreading their genes. It's the least they can do to save humanity from its own.

To reign supreme, Filipinos should be busy diluting the genes of other races. We will make half-breeds.

Curious

What I learned in Torts and Damages:

Or Roman Law and Torts and Damages.

Michelangelo is gay. The professor is a curious dimsum.

Digest

A digest of a UP Law Student's life in Malcolm.

The "FACTS" stage: [Freshman]
You're a freshman and you still have no idea what shit you have gotten yourself into.

The "ISSUE(S)" stage: [Sophomore]
Whether or not you should continue with law school.

The "HELD" stage: [Junior]
By this time, you have already realized that you will have to continue in law school and you more or less know the reason why.

The "RATIO" stage: [Senior]
It's all about the money, unless you believe in the concept of "grand manner".

OBITER DICTUM
The extra years in law school. They may not mean so much today, but you'll never know the shit you can make use of them in the future.

Point Taken

Because a point is too small, it's not surprising that many people miss it most of the time.

Dear Atty. Love

Dear Atty. Love,

Ako po ay may problema sa aking asawa. Pakiramdam ko po ay nagsasawa na siya sa akin. Natatakot po akong iwanan niya balang araw. Nais ko po sanang humingi ng payo kung pano kami magiging masaya muli.

Dear Brenda,

Hindi naman sa minumura kita pero tangina wala akong alam sa mga ganyang bagay. Matatanda na kayo. Problema niyo na 'yan. Pero 'wag mag-alala dahil ito ang payo ni Kuya...

You're Good

I heard someone say "I'm good". I was almost tempted to say...

The Trouble with Some

[From the New Civil Code of the Philippines]
Article 716
The owner of a swarm of bees shall have a right to pursue them to another's land, indemnifying the possessor of the latter for the damage. If the owner has not pursued the swarm, or ceases to do so within two consecutive days, the possessor of the land may occupy or retain the same. The owner of domesticated animals may also claim them within twenty days to be counted from their occupation by another person. This period having expired, they shall pertain to him who has caught and kept them.

Ok, while the law makes some sense, I don't understand why in this day and age people will even bother to pursue a swarm of bees. More often than not, it's the other way around.

Surprise

Mafia Wars

Dear Kobe

Kobe, Kobe, Kobe...

I know I said harsh things to you right after your defeat from the hands of the almighty Boston Celtics in game 5 [and even during the time when you were just starting your professional basketball career], things like:


1] You can't win the Finals alone, unless you're Chuck Norris. You're NOT.

2] Congratulations for having 30 or 40 plus points. Too bad your team lost.

3] I know you have a hot wife, but in the Finals that doesn't count as a score.


Because I've said these rather spiteful words to you, please allow me to take this opportunity to say...

Easy

How to sleep in class, preferably in law school.

Or try the classic method.

Independence Day

Tear Here

What I learned today:

None, or nothing insignificant. I had to skip class. I had to beat the deadline for filing my application for late payment. Otherwise, I'm beat. Well, it's not really unfortunate for one to be poor in body so long as one is rich in soul.

The drama.

Pet

What I learned today in Torts and Damages:

The professor had his usual way of starting the semester. We had brief introductions, except that this part won't really be brief knowing him all too well. Be that as it may, the class got to know one another better. And we talked about pets, among others. I learned that one of my classmates had a tilapia for a pet, which is not really a bad idea, except that he thought it was a goldfish.

Had the professor asked me if I have a pet, I would have not hesitated to answer:

Guillotine

Polar Opposites

Here's a conversation between a freshman law student and law school just a few days after the start of the first week of classes.

Student: Yes! At last, the long wait is over!
Law school: Do you want me to drop you out now?
Student: No! Don't even think about it!
Law school: Will you study during weekends?
Student: Of course! Over and over!
Law school: Will you cram?
Student: No! Why are you even asking?
Law school: Will you miss me during summer break?
Student: Every waking hour.
Law school: Will you curse me?
Student: Are you crazy? I'm not that kind of student!
Law school: Will you be patient with me?
Student: Yes.
Law school: Ah, you're my student!

Overheard at the library where students were busy with the registration of the subjects they enlisted.

Professor L: Let's see. *Scans the form* So you failed in this subject last year.
Student: Yes sir.
Professor L: Which is why you have to take it again.
Student: Yes sir.
Professor L: So, who was your professor for this subject?
Student: *Gives the professor's name*
Professor L: I see. So, what did you learn from him?
Student: That's exactly the point, sir.

Kumbaya.
