Arrogance

I'm sorry, but I found this to be the height of arrogance.
Taken from the Manila Standard.











Survey sample sizes are at most 10,000 to 20,000 and that's being generous. Atty. Ferdinand Rafanan lectured us today on Election Law updated for this coming Automated Elections. He's the Director of the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) Legal Office. He told us we have over 50 million registered voters. Even assuming only 60% or about 30 million show up, thats WAY MORE than just 10,000 respondents surveyed.

If we're going to let survey's be the basis of getting cheated, then we might as well not have elections and pay firms to conduct surveys. Why bother with Democracy and and Republican system when we can have a few people represent the majority even in sufferage.

Margarita, My Margarita

My Beautiful Miggie.

I miss you and can't wait to climb Mt. Pulag with you.




You mean the world to me and have given me a new lease on what happiness is, what it can be, when you find someone who can keep you company and love you for who you are.



I can't wait.

The world will end with Jejemons

Learned something new today care of an old classmate from high school: the jejemon.

Taken from the urban dictionary:

jejemon  

1) Usually seen around social networking sites such as Friendster and Multiply, jejemons are individuals with low IQs who spread around their idiocy on the web by tYpFing LyK diZS jejejeje, making all people viewing their profile raise their eyebrows out of annoyance. Normal people like you and me must take a Bachelor of Arts in Jejetyping in order to understand said individuals, as deciphering their text would cause a lot of frustration and hair pulling.

CAUTION: THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE BREEDING! THEY CAN BE SEEN WRECKING GRAMMATICAL HAVOC ON FACEBOOK TOO!

2) Jejemons are not just confined to trying-hard Filipino gangsters and emos. A Jejemon can also include a variety of Latino-Hispanic fags who enjoy typing "jejejejeje" in a wider context, much to the disdain of their opponents in an internet MMORPG game such as Ragnarok and DOTA.

3) Basically anyone with a low tolerance in correct punctuation, syntax and grammar. Jejemons are usually hated or hunted down by Jejebusters or the grammar nazi to eradicate their grammatical ways.
On AIM or YM:

miSzMaldiTahh111: EoW pFuOh!

You: Huh?

miszMaldiTahh111: i LLyK tO knOw moR3 bOut u, PwfoH. crE 2 t3ll mE yur N@me? jejejejeje!

You: You are a jejemon! Don't talk to me, you uneducated retard!

Environment and Genetics

I had a rather interesting discussion with a very intellectual man from America who took up genetics and all that science stuff that's insanely interesting to the layman like myself, but surely very complicated if taken in detail.

We talked about epigenetics (think Assassin's Creed 1 and 2) and basic genetics. I asked him, if he believed that a man's brain, or capacity to divulge knowledge or information may be limited by once's genes.

He said surely yeah, the same way having bad genes can lead you to be austistic, good genes can leave you at a head start. He also of course made mention of the many variables like the environment, which includes family, school etc.

very very interesting couple and his wife is surely very lucky  to have such an intellectually stimulating man. Hope to see him around sometime and that he succeeds at his work so I can say..."hey, i had coffee with that guy who's on CNN now!!!"

maybe miggie has their pictures.

Lucky Me!

Last Wednesday I went with Miggie to Shangri-La EDSA Mall to meet up with a friend of hers. Just wanted to share pictures I took of Miggie.

We ate at Wham. Pretty good burgers for the price. I had their spicy burger with Jalapenos and spaghetti plus bottomless four seasons juice. The juice was good and went down well with all the ice. Burger was great, I liked the charbroiled taste. yum yum.




Miggie makes me happy.

Spring Cleaning

That time of the school year when I clean out my desk and move things to their properly labeled boxes. Goodbye Law school hello clean desk, well at least for now.

Some before and after pictures of my spring cleaning. Miggie helped me assemble the foldable boxes.



I also took pictures of all the highlighters I used just for the second semester. Guess this would be an update to a previous post I made about starting the semester with so many. I think I used up more or less 16 or 17 highlighters.



Random picture of korean spicy sauce as well.



Finally some space. Hopefully I won't have to bring home too much during the summer.

Modern Warfare 2 Achievement!

You know you're kicking ass in modern warfare when you get a 12-0-0 streak while playing.

I must pat myself on the back. I knew then when I hit 7 I was on to personal greatness. Highest killstreak without even dying.

Taken a week ago.

Jack Bauer from 24 for the Win in Jurisprudence!


at a legal conference in Ottawa, Canada, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia took offense at a Canadian judge's remark that Canada did not consider what Jack Bauer would do when setting policy. Scalia shot back: "Jack Bauer saved Los Angeles.... He saved hundreds of thousands of lives... Are you going to convict Jack Bauer? Say that criminal law is against him? 'You have the right to a jury trial?' Is any jury going to convict Jack Bauer? I do not think so."








Jack Bauer for the win in Supreme Court Jurisprudence!

My Mistake

I was talking to a female friend and thought she said the Party-list group Ang Ladlad was all for Gibo Teodoro, Lakas-Kampi standard bearer.



Apparently I mistook what she said. She mean't that all female members of the group were all tibo.

Yay! Goodbye Law School!

I'm insanely happy the school year has just ended.

So giddy like a little school child that I've started lining up TV series to watch (Boston Legal, ironically about lawyers, and 24 Season 7).


I've got 4 video games that need finishing; Forza 3, Left 4 Dead 2, Mass Effect 2 and Rockband 1. Will get Dragon Age Origins too.

SO SO SO SO SO SO EXCITED.

Goodbye law school hello summer!
