Whimsical Thoughts
Only one more midterm exam to go. Summaries, notes, reviewers and memory aids will soon be set aside. No more one-day breaks. Breaks that never gave you one because you have to study anyway. It’s soon back to the regular class days. Terror teachers. Confusing provisions. One-hour recitations. A handful of cases to read. Lesser time to steal for Internet getaways. Tutorial sessions. Back to reality. Will I have enough time for all these?
Two more days and I’d be sailing to my dear old Bohol. Amazing triscapes while on the fastcraft ride. Home-cooked food. Beach outing. Mall hopping. Gotta get a new book to read. Not a law book, definitely. Nature trips. Special moments with the cam. Poses. Finally diving into sea water. Sea shells. Fresh sea breeze. The hammock by the mango tree. My dear, dear bed that I share with my sis. The airconditioner. My mom’s well-cared plants.
Spent two hours listening to the first Thursday Forum. Constitutional Reforms. Political dynasties. Politicians jumping over da bakod. Lack of political loyalty. No political philosophies. Movie stars and entertainers in politics. Pacman for mayor? Vote-buying. A party-list system that is ineffective. Supposed to be a system of marginalized sectors but why are marginalized groups still not represented? The need for an enlightened electorate. The more important need for an honest, fraud-free COMELEC.
Just took the midterm exam in Legal Ethics. The Code of Professional Responsibility. Lawyer’s Oath. Candor, courtesy and good faith to the Court. Allegiance to the Constitution. The legal profession is a public responsibility, not a business entity. No harassing tactics against the adverse parties. Ha! Lawyers need to check and review their ethics.
Two hours to go before I go to bed. In my new room. I love this room. My walk-in closet. Whew! The sweet bubblegum scent courtesy of my Jap friends’ mosquito repellant. The native mat. The big windows. My silk curtain flowing and dancing to the beat of the breeze.
