On the 2007 Bar Examinations

Had the Supreme Court not lowered the standard, only 5% would have passed the bar?!? T*ngin*ng yan! Gaano ba ka-komplikado ang gusto nilang sagot sa tanong at pinahirapan nila ang mga examinees? I am somewhat dismayed at the result of this year’s bar. I may be quoted year’s from now, and it may have serious repercussions in my bar crusade, but let it be. I have my rights, and a truthful commentary is a proper shield for future administrative complaints.

Hereunder are the 2007 Bar Examiners:

Dean Raul Pangalanan
Political Law and Public International Law

Atty. Rodolfo Salalima
Labor Law and Social Legislation

Atty. Cirilo Tolosa
Civil Law

Associate Dean Lily Gruba
Taxation

Justice Estela Perla Bernabe
Mercantile Law

Atty. Raymond Parsifal Fortun
Criminal Law

Atty. Sandra Marie Olaso-Coronel
Remedial Law

Justice Ma. Cristina Estrada
Legal Ethics and Practical Exercises

I’ll just make a follow up commentary on this post. I’ll rethink my words again. I might have reserved several bad mouths for the examiners in Labor, Civil and Criminal Laws. Regards to them.

Graduation Blues - High School

Graduation is the never the end – it is just the beginning.

We hear those words every year when thousands of students leap frog from what have been their home for 4, 5 or 6 years, into their next home or into the frying pan, figuratively speaking. And whenever we hear those words, it means that 3 things are bound to follows: expenses, changes, tears! Yes, tears. I am mushy also. Hehehe!

It was March 29, 2003, or exactly five years since we left the portals of my High School Alma Mater, San Sebastian College – Recoletos de Cavite, the burning fervor of our batch still remains anew. I reminisce about the experiences I had during high school. We can never forget our outrageous kalokohan; our late night “sobrang lasing” drinking sessions; the kantahan blues in the classroom and in Emperor; our panliligaw and the late night telebabad; speech choirs, plays, projects, newspapers, diorama and skits; you find us from basketball courts to the billiard halls and computer shops; from the favorite tambayan to just simply spending the day at our friends’ house; Mang Diego, Fina’s, Gina’s, Jama Com, McDo, Pop’s, Hai Hans, and the other places; we can never forget as these were memories to last a lifetime. And we said good bye to those days five years ago.

How I miss the carefree life of a high school student. I always remember how I run from our house to the school whenever I hear the school bell ringing, with SG Mauro “Angel” Bilangel at the street waving at me, signaling for me to hurry up. I am always late for the flag ceremony, but my classmates are always amazed at how I can get into the campus without being punished by the Prefect of Discipline. Sometimes, they are even shocked that I manage to enter school without IDs, wearing a printed shirt, or wearing black socks without getting caught. Sabi ko, diskarte lang yan!

I never studied during my high school days. The class lessons were never my interest, to say the least. I read and study what others do not study. I am inquisitive even during my younger days. Class lessons never tickle my curiosity – being mediocre in their substance. I want some greater form of learning. That is probably the reason why I have never actually acquired a study habit, unlike my classmates in the First Section, who I can proudly say got better grades than me. They studied throughout the night, sleeping at past 10 or 11 PM, researching for our assignments, seriously pondering math problems and science experiments, finishing the notebook, and all those stuffs. I never did those, except when I am on the brink of getting a low grade would I be forced to do those. I wonder why I always remain in the First Section, managing to be within the upper half of our class, doing nothing except tambay, inom, laro, daldal, ligaw, kain, tulog – in short, bugoy-bugoy lang! Alam ko medyo nagyayabang na ako, but ask my classmates during high school, if I ever had a complete assignment, they would say a big NO! Hehehe! Pasaway kaya ako nung high school, as if ngayon hindi ano? Hehehe!

I miss also the Student Council Days. Those were the days! SC 2003 could be ranked among the best, if not being the best. Although I know other batches would claim that title, I bet no one could break our records and match the intensity and dedication we gave to the student body. When I say we, I mean the officers. Ako ang President, Jody Lunasin, our class valedictorian was the Vice-President (but I think that title should belong to Rene Pilapil, go Pañero!), Ochie Manesca is the very beautiful and hardworking Secretary, Konsehal Mark Mupas is the Treasurer and the owner and driver of the Official SC Transport, ang pinsan kong si Ryan Paul Bagnas is the innovative and ingenious Auditor, Pareng G-jay Mateo is the P.R.O. like his brothers, ang negosyanteng si Camille Manalansan and si Pareng Teejay Torres ang mga Peace Officers, and the Representatives: si Wilfred Morabe of 3rd Year, si Cherry Kerr Aguilar of 2nd Year at ang ninuno naming si Robert Dizon, 1st Year. Very hardworking group this is. The majority of the officers come from my partido, the ONE! Walang ibig sabihin, hindi siya acronym. We just wanted to simplify things, simplify our platforms, simplify our vision; we wanted a unified student body. That is why our projects were not only innovative; they were revolutionary during our time. It is the reason why until now, students still remembers us. We not only became leaders, we became their servants. We were not only their representatives, we became their soldiers, and we fought for their cause. We were not only their student council officers; we became their brothers, mentors and friends. If we could still do today one thing, we would still serve them to the best of our capabilities. That is why; the SC Family deserves mention in this blog. They have not only been my friends, we became a family in the council. We cared for, stood for and loved one another.

Towards the end of high school, we were met with skepticism. Are we going on to college? Are we ready to leave the comfort zones we have built among ourselves? Are we ready to leave the place we called home? Are we ready to part with each other? These are just some of the questions we asked ourselves. Most of this propped up during and after the retreat – when we realized that we are not getting any younger; that life as we knew it is drastically going to change. We were sad to leave our friends, we were afraid of the new things up ahead, and we were doubtful whether or not we are to succeed. That is why during the days leading to our graduation, we were filled with confusing emotions. We wanted to move on and take on with our chosen careers, but we wanted our friends to come with us and still be part of that dream. We wished for time to stop, or even just slower its pace, but we were powerless. We just, waited!

Fast forward. I am now a law student and I graduated AB Political Science last year. In 2007, more than 50% of my 213 batchmates of SSC-R de Cavite High School Class of 2003 finished their chosen course on time. About 5% are already abroad, studying, living and finding their luck there. This year, around 10-15% is graduating, with another 10-15% next year. All in all, after 5 years, 85% have obtained their degrees. The remaining 15% are still in the process of finishing their studies, who are going to join us eventually before Class 2003 celebrate its 10th Year Anniversary. I know that my compatriots shall be successful. That is our trait.

I still remember the message I wrote in our High School yearbook as Student Council President. I said there these lines:

“My friends, let us hold hands and discover the world and see for ourselves what magnificent treasure it holds – adventures that is there for the taking and dreams that are ours to pursue.”

In the end, we shall remain to be friends. We may grow old and nimble, our minds may already be senile but we shall forever keep in our hearts, that once in our lives; we were united during the 4 years we stayed at that campus in the City of Cavite, and that together, we shaped our dreams and shared our destiny with one another.

To my batchmates, congratulations sa inyong lahat! Happy 5th Anniversary sa atin!

Ang inyong kaibigan,


KULOT

The Results of the 2007 Bar Exams Out Today!

I'm patiently waiting for the results of the 2007 Bar Examinations, as if I am the hopeful lawyer to be. I never thought that it would be this tense. Hindi pa ako ang nag-take ng bar sa lugar na yan ah, paano kaya kapag ako na. There are talks that there are two bar topnotchers from FEU Law. Hopefully, totoo!

What makes this Bar Exam special for me is the fact that this is the Bar Exam that happened during my First Year in Law. There is a high probability that the questions asked today may be asked in future bar exams, especially the one I am hopefully going to take in 2011. Plus the fact that it is the first Bar exams I have served upon as a frat neophyte. Isipin niyo na lang, I may have a brod who is going to be a lawyer today, and I am partly the reason why he is a lawyer today. Aba, ang ayos kaya ng service ng mga batch ko sa mga barrister brods. Wala kaming tulog para lang hintayin ang utos nila. Ako lang at yung mga ka-batch ko ang gumawa ng ganun. That's why I am proud if a brod is to be a lawyer today, hopefully, a bar topnotcher.

Well, antay antay nalang muna! I'll update this blog as soon as the results are out! Hopefully, good times are here to roll again.

Got my Grades, what a dismal performance!? But I accept it

I got my grades through FEU Text yesterday. Although I did not fail any of the subjects (there are still two subjects with no grades on it), I can say that it is a very dull performance to say the least. The highest I got was a 90 in CRIM LAW2. It was followed by an 83 in CONSTI LAW, and 80 in Legal Ethics. I have 2 lines of 7’s – 78 in OBLICON and 76 in Land Titles. For the lines of 7s, I know the effort I gave there, that’s why I accept it.

Nevertheless, I know that I can do better, perhaps if studied more, and went to gimmicks less. Hehehe! I should have done what I do best, slander the society. I should have gathered my intellectual capacities and spent it on more objective pursuits. But I guess that is my fault. I should have focused my energies to go to my classes even though it will only be for an hour or so and taking more time to travel. I should have studied my lessons every possible moment I have, even if I know that my professor will not be coming to class. I should have read more reference books on ht matter, rather than spend my entire night doing nothing except to stand by with the barangay tanods.

But it is too late to blame myself for such. All I have to do is to make amends, try to do better next time and balance my time and priorities. It’s never too late to make amends. Perhaps, I still am getting the hang of it, still finding my style in law school. But next time, I’ll make sure that I merit what I truly deserve, and not merely rely on stock knowledge and God’s will.

But anyways, thank you Lord for giving me this opportunity to better myself.

I had my First Blood Chem

Hanep! I had my very first blood chem. Ang laki ng needle, just like yung needle na ginamit sakin nung nag-take ako ng Penadur (that's Penicillin ata). Tapos yung Med Tech, 3 beses akong sinaksakan ng extraction needle, nawala daw kasi yung ugat ko. Hanep na yun. Parang tinutuhog tuhog lang, medyo masakit din, pero kaya ko naman yun.

When I saw the results, ang taas dude! All results are within normal range, pero borderline! See below yung results. Although I good thing, alam ko na ngayon ang blood type ko. Hehehe! Before kasi, I say its “A” because my father and mother said so. There was no scientific proof to back it up. Eh total kukuhanan na din ako ng dugo, edi lubus-lubusin na. Hehehe!

I still have to go to a doctor to have the results checked. I sure hope that my friends who are taking up Med graduates soon. Tulad ni Pareng Mario, cardiology yata ang plan niya i-specialize. Si Angel, neurosurgery ata, si MJ na kapatid ko, gusto ko siya mag-aral ng Med. Tapos, may isa pa, future pediatrician naman ang gusto. Sabagay, pwede din me magpatingin sa kanya, isip bata naman ako eh. Hehehe!

My blood chem results


My Blood Type is A+

Take care on your Trip

Ingat sa biyahe niyo!

Gusto sana kita i-treat, kumain sa labas or something, before ka umalis eh, kaya lang busy ka yata! I really want to talk to you. But I guess, kapag bumalik ka na lang. Well, you really deserve a meaningful vacation.

So enjoy your trip!

The Triduum Part 3 - Black Saturday

Today, as we prepare to celebrate the coming of the Risen Lord, we renew again our baptismal promises. We are blessed with fire and water. We are welcomed into a new life. The Gloria is sung with greater passion, as we hail the resurrection of Christ. I hope and pray that today shall start the new Philippines.

Happy Easter to one and all!

The Triduum Part 2 - Good Friday

As part of this Good Friday’s celebration, I pray that this video, which was widely shown and circulated last year, shall help us in our reflection of the reason why this day is Good.

May Jesus sacrifice on the cross be the strongest reason of our faith in Him. May God bless us all!

The Triduum Part 1 - Maundy Thursday

As most of our countrymen go to vacation, I still favor the spiritual approach during the Holy Week. Having been born to a devout family of Caviteños, I still value the traditional way of spending the Holy Week break – that is prayer, contemplation and family.

For Catholics, the start of Holy Week is the Palm Sunday, or what was used to be known as Domingo de Ramos. It is also called Passion Sunday because it is the first time the Lord’s Passion is read to the parishioners. But for most Filipinos, the height of Holy Week starts on the Triduum, or the Three Days before the Lord’s Resurrection on Easter. And it starts tonight, during Maundy Thursday.

Filipino celebration of the Holy Week is very indigenous in some sorts. Yearly, we are featured in CNN, BBC and other international news channels for the penitensiya rituals of some Filipinos. It has even become a tourist attraction. In Barangay Pedro Cutud in Pampanga, foreigners troop to watch actual crucifixion on Good Friday. There are also others who inflict self-flagellation. But the Catholic Church does not condone such acts of piety. It maintains that salvation has long been attained for us by Jesus Christ, and God’s blessings should not be returned through infliction of pain. Some faith healers who claim to have derived their power to heal from God recharge their “energies” during Good Friday. They climb the famous Mt. Banahaw in Quezon and other mountains for this purpose.

Thus, let us be truly theological on our celebration of the Holy Week. Tonight, the Commemoration of the Washing of the Feet shall be celebrated throughout Christendom. It is the birth of the Church, the time when Christ formally entrusted to the apostles the pastoral duty towards the flock of God’s sheep. It is also this night when the Blessed Sacrament, Christ’s Body and Blood, shall be worshipped and enshrined in the altar of God’s table. And for Filipinos, it is also tonight where we do the Visita Iglesia. It is when we visit several Churches to pray that we may have strength to share in Christ’s passion and death. Historically, it is European in origin, particularly Italian. It is the visitation of the seven Basilicas located in Rome and Europe, to obtain spiritual favors. But for Filipinos, we do the 14 Stations of the Cross, thus it is 14 Churches we Filipinos visit.

But more importantly, we must forget the essence of this Holy Week Celebration. It is to remind us of the sacrifice of Christ in order to set us free from sin. Our salvation was paid for by His blood. So let us not forget that as we go on our Lenten breaks.

Vacation’s Here at Last

Now that it’s here – Rest and Relaxation. At least one week, before I go to Summer class. Ang sipag ko pero kailangan eh, if matuloy mga plans na pumunta ako ng UK, I must be ready. I don't want to be late for my March 2011 deadline to graduate. Hehehe!

Ewan ko lang kung may makakabasa nito, pero saan ba maganda mag-bakasyon? Hehehe!

Labor Standards and Social Legislation

Wala lang! Ang haba ng exam ko sa Labor. Pinakahuling exam tapos isa pa sa pinakamahirap. I really should buy the book "Suggested Answers to the Bar Examinations." Omar Diamel and Eric Dollete both have those. I think its available in Central Bookstore, if not, I'll buy it in UP Law Center.  Atty. Iris usually takes her questions there.

But anyways, it’s the last exam. Yuppie!

To quote the Creed, I say again:

I do not choose to be an ordinary man
It is my right to be above ordinary, if I can
I seek opportunity, not security.

I do not wish to be kept citizen
Humbled and dulled by having
The state look after me.

I want to take the calculated risk
To dream and to build,
To fail and to succeed.

I refuse to barter incentives
For a dole out.

I prefer the challenges of life
To a guaranteed existence.
The thrill of excitement
To the state of calm serenity.

I will not trade freedom
From beneficence,
Nor my dignity... for a handout.

I will never cower
Before any master
Nor bend to any threat.

It is my heritage to be
Steadfast, proud and unafraid;
To think and act for myself,
Enjoy the benefits of my creation
And to face the world boldly
And say... This is I have done.
This is what it means to be a
TAU KAPPAN.

To end, may I quote Hunter S. Thompson who was once heard of saying : "Maybe there is no Heaven. Or maybe this is all pure gibberish — a product of the demented imagination of a lazy drunken hillbilly with a heart full of hate who has found a way to live out where the real winds blow — to sleep late, have fun, get wild, drink whisky, and drive fast on empty streets with nothing in mind except falling in love and not getting arrested...

Introduction to Legal Ethics

This subject is best summarized by the oath, we lawyers (feeling) take upon passing the bar. So what best to quote it so that I shall remember to live my life according to this oath.

LAWYER'S OATH

I, IAN DELA CRUZ ENCARNACION, of CAVITE CITY, do solemnly swear that I will maintain allegiance to the Republic of the Philippines; I will support its Constitution and obey the laws as well as the legal orders of the duly constituted authorities therein; I will do no falsehood, nor consent to the doing of any in court; I will not wittingly or willingly promote or sue any groundless, false or unlawful suit, nor give aid nor consent to the same; I will delay no man for money or malice, and will conduct myself as a lawyer according to the best of my knowledge and discretion with all good fidelity as well to the courts as to my clients; and I impose upon myself this voluntary obligation without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion. So help me God.

Overlooking Pasig City

Have you been to Nipa Hut in Pasig City?

This is a good place. Too bad I have not bought any good cameras to capture the view. But it’s really good. It’s near Meralco Avenue, just a few turns and you’re there. And when you are there, the feeling is ecstatically romantic. If I’m going to bring a girl out on a dinner, I’ll treat her out in Metrowalk or at Tiendesitas, then for a romantic stop, we’ll stay at Nipa Hut. Dang!

I’ll update this thread soon.

Land Title and Deeds - Finals

Hindi ito ang exam question ko under Justice Oswaldo D. Agcaoili, mas mahirap ang p*tang ina! Pinaghalo halo yung mga questions, meron pang draft ng adverse claim. But this samplex really helped.

Constitutional Law

I wasn’t able to secure a copy of Atty. Yan’s examinations again. But I know I got my answers right. A useful tip, read the Albano reviewer. It is good reading before taking his examinations.

But one good thing about the exams, I finished first. No frills, no beating ‘round the bush. I answered straightforwardly, with no complexities. But still, I hope I did well. It was a great honor when Atty. Yan congratulated me before. He is one of the law professors I idolize. Medyo radical pa siya. Tibak ata si sir nung nag-aaral ng Law.

Pareho pala kami... Hehehe!

The Finals Week

Here it goes.

My finals week is just around the bend. Having gone through OBLICON (a 5-unit major subject in law) just last week, I feel I am going to be crushed in the huge pile of readings that I still have to browse upon. I think I am to be a regular visitor of McDonalds, and its refillable coffee. And for a fact, it was the first time that I studied that way. I have to ace my OBLICON, because anything less than a perfect score is a failing mark for me.

My exam in Criminal Law is tomorrow. From Crimes against National Security and the Law of Nations up to Quasi-Offenses, I have to memorize more than 150 articles of Book II of the Revised Penal Code, not to mention re-browsing Book I for the rules on penalties to be imposed, and the circumstances that affect criminal liability. I have been through 2 books of the Revised Penal Code, and still I feel that I am unprepared in Criminal Law. I find the saying quite true, “the more you know, the lesser you think you know.” Well, just as Uncle Freddie always says, “it takes a criminal to catch one.” I’ll have to think like a criminal in order to understand and answer the questions extensively.

This Thursday, I’ll have my Final Exam in Constitutional Law. Although I’ll rely mostly on stock knowledge, I still have to reread celebrated cases in the subject of constitutional law. It is not enough for me to simply pass the subject, knowing that I have already made a benchmark on Atty. Yan. I have to strike it with flying colors.

On Friday, I will take my test on Land Titles and Deeds under the eminent land registration scholar, Justice Oswaldo Agcaoili. I am very fortunate to have him as my professor. LTD is a civil law subject, not to mention that it is a very relevant field of law in real practice. If I am to be very marketable in practice, I have to memorize LTD by heart. And I owe it all to Justice Agcaoili.

On Saturday, Dr. Tony Reboza shall give us the Legal Medicine Finals. I fear not of a failing mark in his subject. What I fear is that I may not be able to get a high mark because of my absences. Pang-QPI ang LegMed e, saying naman if I don’t ace it.

Next week, I shall take Legal Ethics and Labor Standards. I hope for a good grade on those two subjects. Well, kilala na naman ako ni Atty. Zeny Mendiola. Idol ko yun, she was the class valedictorian during her time in FEU. She was doing that while she was working, and consequently a mother. The dedication, patience and perseverance of that person is a virtue worth emulating. As for Atty. Iris, I have to work harder on Labor Law. I know the subject, but I am not giving her the 100% dedication that I can. I am very disappointed with my standing in her class. I think I have failed her. I have to work harder in this examination.

Generally speaking, getting high marks in law school exams in both that of utmost dedication and sheer luck. We are not expected to know all the law, but the least we are asked is to have a working knowledge of its tenets. In the end, it is always the most persevering that survives, that which have dedicated ones self to studying the law, not only for personal gains but also for societal change. We are not law students for nothing. We, the select few, are the disciples of justice. We vowed to uphold the law to its fullest implementation, lest its letters be fettered by unscrupulous individuals who seek to hide their crooked ways.

Good luck sa exams. May God bless us all! We need it!

Nearing the End of my Freshman Year

As I look back a year ago, I am filled with nostalgia. I reminisce the experiences I had as I First Year Law student, and say to myself, “Ayos ah”. Going to law school is a life long dream. Now that I am here, let me re-evaluate the things I have done and rethink the options I have as I move on to the next step in my chosen field of endeavor.

Academically, though I may have landed in the Dean’s List, I haven’t actually studied as I should have. If I would rate myself, I would give myself a 74%. I have not given all needed effort to learn the important principles in law, landmark cases, the related Supreme Court decisions, and worthy opinion of eminent authors in the field. What I have today is just a basic working knowledge of the law, not a thorough understanding of it. I don’t blame other people for my haphazard manner of learning, it’s just me. I have been used to this system since I was young. At first, I test the waters – finding out how to do things. Once I learn how to get things going, I tend to be lax. I am inclined to go easy on things, relax and enjoy the ride. I don’t think it is wrong to enjoy the ride through law school. But if I want to push through with my dream of being a bar topnotchers, I have correct my style, otherwise, it would be a vital defect in my study.

Socio-politically, I started early this time. Unlike my high school and college experience where I opened my doors to politics later in my course of study, the opposite is true in law school. During the first week of classes, I joined the only and exclusive fraternity in FEU Law, the TAU KAPPA PHI. From then on, I have been in daily contact with other law students. It prompted my fraternity brods to make me run as First Year Batch Representative. Although I lost, I made various contact with different sections. I became friends with most of them. Study buddies, yosi buddies, drinking buddies, war buddies, and fu-bu’s, name it, may nagsabi pa nga sakin, “crush” ng bayan daw ako. Wahehehe! Shucks, nakaka-flatter! Ang hangin ko na ah, hehehe! But seriously speaking, I am disputed to be one of the most familiar faces in FEU Law. Kaw ba naman ang KULOT! That’s why, when I run for Second Year Batch Representative, although one of my toughest fights, I won handedly. I thank my brods and batchmates, my sis from the Portia Sorority, my classmates in section LLB4101, section LLB4102, and some friends in section LLB4103 and LLB0104. Thanks also to the RPM. Batch Niño is a big help politically. Sanay na talaga kami sa school politics ni batch. But this does not stop here. If God wills it, I’ll be SC President.

Physically, this year is one of the unhealthier years for me. I gained almost 10 kilos, from 67 kilos in March 2007, today I’m almost 76 kilos. I eat a lot and drink a lot, but I exercise less. Ask anyone, most notices that I am bulkier than before. I lost my abs, I got a beer belly, and I am almost way over the BMI index for my height and weight. I have not forgotten my heart sickness, which is why in summer; I’ll schedule myself for a check-up. Better be sure than sorry. I have to remain fit, otherwise I would not enjoy the benefits of being a lawyer. True still is the saying, mens sana in corpore sano.

Mentally, I am prepared. I know I can go through this challenge as I have conditioned myself specifically for this day. As I have said, my goal is to be a bar topnotchers, not just a plain and simple lawyer. If you’re going to aim, go for the higher stone. Mediocrity is not in my vocabulary. I’ll make my mark, and I’ll make it sure that it stays there. I have already set my standards; I hope and pray that I have the tenacity and proficiency to maintain it.

Financially, I need some standing up to do. Although I fear not that I won’t finish my studies, thanks to Tita-Ninang Mae, there are a lot of expenses that is part and parcel of law school. First and foremost, the prohibitive cost of books. To date, I have spent P13,885 in law books, not to mention almost a thousand pesos in library fines, for books that I borrowed and failed to return on time. I have nearly P5,000 in photocopies of cases and reading materials, which when compared, amounts to the entire reading materials I photocopied during my college days. And that is just a year into law school. I am still dependent on my parents for allowance which makes it quite uneasy for me, because some if not most of my co-graduates are already earning on their own. Plus the fact that I have practically doubled my extra-curricular activities, it’s very unethical of me to be wasting a lot of my time without doing anything to fend off for myself. Although I have several sidelines, government contracting, plus those who are indebted to me, dami kasi may utang sakin, I don’t make it a habit of lending money art an interest. Thus, I shall make it a resolution – I have to find a work. I’ll be a working law student. It is primarily the reason why I entered FEU Law; their schedule was intended for working professionals. But I still am part of the largely unemployed majority of our countrymen. Thus, again, I have to work.

Socially, I am still the same social animal – my network of friends is growing. From my family, tropa, barkada, and former classmates to brods, sis, classmates, fellow law students and so on, I have made new acquaintances every single moment. Perhaps it is already my second nature to be friendly. But I’m really a home body, tamad ako umalis at hindi ako mahilig maglalalabas, so that is a major hindrance in my social life. Well, I have to live my life as I have for the past 22 years. Just minor adjustments, like if there is an exam, from 10 bottles of beer to just 4-5 bottles, or from going home at 5-6 AM, try going home by 1-2 AM. Hehehe!

Spiritually, I am closer to God than before. I now have a deeper understanding of my faith. I have grown in it. I have accepted my Savior; I have professed in Him my faith. I have weathered the tempest that shook the foundations of my belief in God. Now I dare not question the infinite goodness of God that He allows us to look for answers to questions that bother us. He even allows us to question His very existence. But because of His great love for us, He gave us Jesus Christ to redeem us from sin and death. There is this text message circulating in cell phones, stating that God in His immense wisdom allowed sin, evil and suffering to pervade our society, but because of His great love for us, He gave us His only Son. I have already accepted Christ as my redeemer. There is nothing more to ask for.

Emotionally, well, eto single pa rin. Too long a story to tell, perhaps, I’ll make a separate blog for it. But I do miss hugging the girl of my dreams. Nevertheless, it has not affected my studies. Pero, nakaka-miss ang feeling ng may serious girlfriend, yung feeling na secure kayo sa isa’t isa, yung alam mong may nag-mamahal sayo pagka-gising mo hanggang sa pagtulog, yung alam mong may nagdadasal na safe ka pagnagbibiyahe ka, yung may kasabay kang mangarap ng bukas, yung may kasabay kang managinip ng gising na ipinapanalangin mong hindi na sana matapos ang araw kapag kayo ang magkasama, yung may kasabay kang tumitingin sa kalangitan, at marami pang iba. I miss those moments. You may say I’m too cheesy about it, but I do miss those times. If I could only turn back the time, I would not have done the stupid things I did. But I know its God’s plan, and He when He makes a plan, He has a very good reason. Siguro eto yun, turuan ako ng lesson.

Now that I have rated myself, what would be next?

I can’t wait until I go to Second Year. I’ll learn property laws and torts, commercial and transactional laws. I am going to have my first elective subjects. Procedural laws shall be next, Civil and Criminal Procedure, which are very essential in practice. When people ask me about what remedies are available to them, I can answer them substantially and with authority.

After that, Junior Year would be a round-up of the next set of laws. Most of them involve commercial laws. Taxation would be there; tangina! It is one of the most dreaded subjects in law. Most say that half of law students stumble on taxation for obvious reasons. Hello!? Kaya nga kami nag-LAW eh! Walang math! Tapos may TAX. And its not just Tax1, there is Tax2. Pahirap diba? But with strong faith and strong will, I can do it! May the Force be with us!

Thus if all goes as planned, I can cross through Senior Year already. Puro review subjects na dun! Thus if I have studied well during my first to third year, there is no doubt that passing my review subjects would be easy. By that time, it would only be a year or so to graduation, to review classes, and eventually, the Bar Examinations. Therefore, I’ll be graduating from law school in March 2011, I’ll be taking the Bar in September 2011, and I’ll be addressed as ATTY. IAN DC ENCARNACION in April 2012, God willing among the Hall of Bar Topnotchers in Philippine Law History.

With my dreams finally true, I hope I'll have the time to roam the world and change the society. But perhaps I shall be settling down with a family by that time with my princess! It won’t be long! Time flies! But before everything else, I have to take my final exams next week and finish the Tinga Cases for this year’s bar examinations. Hehehe! God bless to one and all!
