condolence to the family of the late dr. jose lopez david… 

(his remains are in Forbes Park Chapel; burial on Sunday)

hello from Bangui, Ilocos Norte.

(braving the winds like the row of wind turbines by the beach)

Heroes is getting to be too much of a suspense to the point of draining the viewers of any hope that at least something good will happen to the characters.  As it is, dumadami pa nga lalo yung mga characters; but even they are way problematic than the original cast. One thing cool is at least Peter can use the powers of the others na.  I bet face off sila nito ni Sylar! J

Because of the darkness of Heroes, Kris and I have to immediately watch How I Met Your Mother after.  Comic relief to dispel the gloom.  I super love talaga the character of Neil Patrick Harris, Barney. 

The top 24 Idols already performed.  I kinda liked only three of the guys; the girls, I think, fared better (with the exception of at least three though).  Two girls and two guys will be voted off later.  Staying tuned J.

1. Allan Peter Cayetano or Cesar Montano?

2. heart attack/stroke/accident — die immediately or be paralyzed?

3. No-kya or No-ki-ya? Or there’s other proper pronunciation?

4. Hyon-dey or Hyon-day?  Or there’s other proper pronunciation?

5. Easter egg hunting or Halloween trick or treat-ing?

6. Carrot cake or Banana bread?

aside from ticking off professional goals made possible by the legal prefix attached to his name, Kris is also prepared with possibilities (or in his terms, “back-up plans”) should he not do well in the province this May. 

sigh, I feel so professionally stunted…and just thinking of an immediate “back-up plan” should things go wrong for me this March is already painful.  I’m at this point again of whether to think beyond or hope/feel/claim victory as if it’s mine already.  either way, I do not know how. 

off the bat, I feel strongly against continuing with any law-related work should I go the same road again.  It seems absurd to carry on and it’s quite unfair to be doing the same work as those who passed the bar, yet be recognized/remunerated differently.  on another note, whether you admit it or not, people in this country ‘discriminates’ ‘failures.’  where can one get tremendous confidence to face such kind of prejudice?

but when I emerge victorious, dang, get ready world ‘coz I’m gonna conquer you like there’s no tomorrow (get ready for what? hehehe, I dunno actually; as I said I don’t know yet how life is to be victorious J)!

I’ve always thought Timezone is a waste of money; however, yesterday, I think it was money well spent there ‘coz of the concomitant happiness brought by the 30-21 score of me and Kris shooting hoops! Needless to say who got the higher score J   

MONEY BUYS CONFIDENCE

(parang olats lalo kapag wala either)
