In less than two hours, I will be taking my finals in Obligations and Contracts. I can only remember how anxious and calm I was before my interview during April of last year; it's pretty much the same feeling. It feels like I've been studying for this subject for the past five months; having said that, I come ready for the unexpected and determined ( Read more... )

This will be my last post for the USC Elections.  Sorry for the pervasiveness and the multitude of posts on the election. It's officially been the first time in four years that I took on the mantle of being a personal campaign manager again. As the PCM, the campaign was kinda like how I imagined it is for women to give birth: painful, laborious, ( Read more... )

The celebrant asked the crowd if they though it was, and lo and behold, a vast majority of people said that they thought it was.  I told this to my blockmate Tere before we ( Read more... )

I would like to announce the launching of UPLSG.com, the official website of the UP Law Student Government. It took two and a half months to finish, but it's worth it! Now, all we need is the content, but the graphics and the layout are finished. This is a project by our beloved UP LSG Secretary Nancy Quimpo, who prodded me endlessly until I ( Read more... )
