Paris and the U.S. Presidency
2008-08-06 05:35:20
Onli in da Pilipins? NOT! Filipinos are not the only ones who are cuckoo about celebrities endorsing presidentiables. The web is full of political ads for both Republican and Democratic U.S. Presidential candidates. While some commercials bear semblance to fact, some have crossed over to the realm of absurdity. Political ads are not about real [...]

Anastacia and Jose (Generations, Part Two)
2008-08-05 07:13:38
Born in the summer of wartorn 1902 in Argao, Cebu, Anastacia Fortuna was destined to travel far from her birthplace. Anastacia was tall, slender, and fair-skinned. She had Castillian cheekbones and gray eyes that seemed to knowingly pierce through a person’s intentions. As was then customary, Anastacia got married at an early age to Jose Geyrozaga. [...]

Matea and Nestor (Generations, Part One)
2008-07-30 11:45:16
There is a dearth of cooking skills in my family. In our kitchen, the cook always happens to be anybody else but us. But there is an abundance of strong women of remarkable resiliency whose lives must be written about at one time or another, if only to preserve the tales orally recounted to me [...]

Right Now!
2008-07-17 15:35:14
Due to the ongoing RTC inventory, my court appearances for the last two weeks have been kept to a minimum. As a result, I have had more time in the office to catch-up on my pleading work, to organize my files, and to surf the internet more than usual. Today was no exception. Right now, [...]


Demanding Change from Within
2008-07-14 23:44:04
So we yak and yak about corruption in our country, the sloth of our public officials, the poverty that threatens to overwhelm us…blah, blah, blah… But in our day-to-day activities, do we do enough to prevent those which we detest? Do we resist the temptation to just pay off the tax guy in order to [...]

Tears for Federer
2008-07-07 09:19:28
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. At almost five hours, it was the longest Wimbledon men’s singles final ever. From the way they played, all indications pointed to a virtual tie: 6-4, 6-4, 6-7, 6-7, 9-7. The sun was setting when Roger finally yielded the championship to Rafa courtesy of [...]

The Perils of Indifference
2008-07-03 05:57:08
Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel survived Nazi Auschwitz. After the war, he observed a self-imposed vow of silence for ten years. In 1955, he recounted his memories of the harrowing German concentration camps in Poland in And The World Kept Silent, a 900-page book written in Yiddish. (The abridged and English version of Wiesel’s [...]


David Cook Stole My Heart
2008-06-27 09:07:08
They say that the quickest way to a person’s heart is through the stomach. Now, I don’t know if he actually has culinary skills, but boy, he can sing! It’s been over a month since the last of our semi-weekly dates, and I still swoon over David Cook. I was enraptured even when he sang his national [...]

Justice and Sabio
2008-09-12 11:15:06
I have never lied to any judge. I have never attempted to bribe anyone. And I always–ALWAYS–counsel clients to desist from doing acts that tend to subvert the integrity of our courts–and by extension, the legal profession. This is why I am extremely disappointed that the Supreme Court merely meted a brief suspension penalty against Justice [...]


Malcolm Madness
2008-09-10 10:59:11
In 1999, I too, took the Bar exams. The night before that first Sunday, I barely slept. My roomie, Charmaine, and I had agreed to wake up at 4:30 a.m. so we’d have time to scan the “hot tips” slid under our hotel door by the BarOps volunteers. Although we went to bed early, I could [...]

Standstill
2008-10-07 10:00:28
What, no new posts? My blog is at a standstill. Right. I have plenty of things to write about, just not much time to do the writing. My days and nights are full. But, I highly recommend The Professional Heckler, which never fails to amuse me. In the meantime, ciao!
