Got teamed up with Angelo and Patrick in the 5th Inquirer Inter-collegiate Debating Championship.
While we didn't break into the Octofinals, in terms of team scores, [+] we ranked as the 16th of the 52 teams.
So, if we were 16th, why didn't we qualify? Because we had a 3-4 standing. :( 2 were losses with a 1 point margin against the other team. One of the losses was because of a split decision where the chair adjudicator dissented for our side. [-] Had we won at least one of these close matches... Arggh :) anyway highway, We'll just have to do better next time. (Next up: The international UST Intervarsity Debate Championship and the Asian Universities Debating Championship. GO TDC~!
[-] Turned out that you have to be at least a second year law student to get an internship at the law firms.
So last Monday, I started working in the Legislative Department at the Senate Office of Sen. Madrigal, who is [+] Committee Head for Youth, Women, and Family Relations (My favourite law subject is Persons and Family Relations Law, btw :)).
Right now, I'm to write a letter in behalf of Laban ng Masa to go with Sen. Madrigal's petition to the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. (It's the Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo issue: the trinity of E.O. 464, Calibrated Pre-emptive Response, and P.D. 1017. [+] I love working for someone in the opposition.) BUT, it's due on [-] Tuesday, and although the spokesperson for Laban ng Masa and I have corresponded, and Mr Fortaleza promised he'd send me the documents I'd be needing within this week, he hasn't yet, and it's almost Sunday. :(
I fell down two steps and got a large nasty bruise on my thigh on my first day of work. Dad left for China (again!) early that morning, and I saw him off, which meant that I had to slip in a catnap before I left for work since it's way too early to prepare to leave.
Woke up über über late, showered fast and was running around the house when I slipped and fell on the stairs' landing. Hahaha. :)
During Final Exams week, I missed the public vans and rode the train on my way to uni.
[-] My two year old Nokia 3650, my favourite phone, got stolen. :(
(Please delete the +63.922.63.77.016 number from your lists.)
Was at home the whole week last week (Holy Week).
That's a first in so many months.
