I love Law school despite the fact that I'm facing a sheer battle of wills.

I hate spiders, eggplants, and okra.

I can be such a dork it's not even funny.

I am 24. Finally, freakin'-ly

I'm bored with Blogspot. For real.

I'm moving here.

Article 1156: An obligation is a juridical necessity to give, to do, or not to do.

I did Legal Management for pre-law. I should know that already. However, I wasn't that interested, and now, I wish to heaven I paid enough attention, or that we trained to read loads of cases, because we're all having difficulty reading a terrible amount of readings.

Last Friday was (or is?) supposed to be Day 3 for our Obligations and Contracts class. So we already touched up a lot of topics on Obligations, which may or may not interest you. The standard example was the delivery of a horse.

(Example)Question: A has promised to deliver a horse to X on May 10, 2010. Unfortunately, before the date of delivery, the horse died, being struck by lightning, before the date of delivery.
Would A be liable for the death of the horse?

Answer: No. A will not be liable.

Invoking Article...um...uh...

I forgot.

Wait.

Since the horse died through a fortuitous event, and that the person who was obliged to deliver the horse took extraordinary care of the horse, he cannot be liable. Invoking Article 1174 of the Civil Code, acts of God, like typhoons, earthquakes or lightning are inevitable, therefore, relieving him of liability. Unless otherwise stated by law, or when A acted in bad faith, he is liable.

I could be wrong.

There was no class on Friday for Obligations, but for our Land Titles and Deeds class,we met the famous Justice Oswaldo Agcaoili (famous, in our terms, because he is also the author of the textbook that every law school uses for Land Titles and Deeds).

And, look here!







He signed our textbooks. :)

And tonight, I am supposed to fulfill my obligation to study, whether or not it is a juridical necessity.

I am weird like that. I get short-fused when I should be happy for the fact that we didn't have Obligations and Contracts. And the same goes for the Land Titles and Deeds class. Either that, or I've gone partially nerdy.

Just partially.

Maybe the short fuse stemmed from the nearly two-hour traffic that stretched from España to Quezon Avenue. I was with my friend Carol and we were totally strung out. However, funny things also happened. Some guy said that a train had fallen off, and that traffic is heinous. Where it was, we had no idea.

This was the funny part.

Carol had texted her boyfriend about the incident, and after she sent it, she told me she realised that maybe the guy meant that there were no trains so everyone else used an alternative form of transport, hence the traffic. So we laughed about it, and then we noticed the security guard at 7Eleven was sleeping while standing up. That cracked us up.

Then again, you HAD TO BE THERE to appreciate the joke.

I forgot to mention happy things like seeing the person (yesterday) I've stopped expecting to see. And I also have to admit that stupid things also happen, like being an idiot around that said person.

It's tiresome, talking about the mundane...about the person you like most, what he did, what he said, what you did, what you said. However, some things cannot be helped.

Tomorrow is the first day of school. Criminal Law 2.

Treason is a crime against national security.

Should be interesting.

They took off one subject, but that's okay, because it was the unnecessary one.

Something nice happened today.

This one has truth.





-10:49 pm




I have three new pairs of shoes today, and a new blouse. I'm excited to wear it already. I can't wait till Monday.

And the prospect of new clothes. My aunt and I got some cloth... dark grey wool (or I think linen) for a pant suit, and two blouses (one peach, and a green and white stripe one). Later, I have to read about King David, well, his boyhood in particular.

I never really knew that Goliath was about nine feet tall. When I was a kid, I thought he was six feet or thereabouts. Because in the Bible times, people were small then, or so I was told.

King David wasn't perfect, but so far, he was the best that Israel ever had.




-6:55 pm

I am making the most of my last freedom days, because by next week, by Christmas, by Valentine's Day, Saint Patrick's Day, dragon days are looming.

Hooked on an R&B song by Amber Davis, a half-Filipina, which is cool. However, it's skipping a bit, so that's no fun.

Excited for classes on Monday. I'll be having Criminal Law2...I'm on the next level!

But with all those perks, there also sacrifices.

And oh. Some pictures of me and one of my visual aids last Sunday. :)
