my supposedly studytime for legal writing, i am writing this entry to impart to the (un)fortunate souls who stumbled upon this blog, the meaning of punctuations.

punctuations, as we know them, are integral parts of writing. they make the meaning of written communication clear, and if possible, unmistakable. neverthless, most people tend to overlook them. i guess, everybody's guilty of this, at some point.
so anyway, here are the punctuations and how they are supposed to be used: (note: closely read the description of each punctuation).

the asterisk (*) - it is a star-shaped figure which is a reference mark to indicate that something had been omitted.

the brace [ { } ]
- it is used for clarity.

the period (.)
- placed at the end of an imperative sentence that does not express strong emotion.

the comma (,)
- helps to clarify the meaning of writing. widely used of all the punctuations.comma usage varies so greatly that only a few rules can be considered unchanging. this is the reason why the comma cause more mischief in the law of all the other punctuation marks combined.

the semicolon (;)
- a mark to indicate separation or division in the relation of the thought. it is a stronger mark than a comma, signifying a greater break or longer pause between sentence elements.

the colon (:)
- a mark of expectation or addition. its primary function is to signal the reader to "watch out for what's coming."

the exclamation point (!)
- it is used to mark a forceful comment or exclamation

( the descriptions i put are only part and parcel of what these punctuations really stand for. they have other uses. mahaba na kasi. katamad i-type. )

so, what's the punctuation for you? ako, ito, :

Ora et labora

  • Sep. 5th, 2009 at 1:07 AM
Ora at labora is true. Hail! hail! hail! I got one of my midterm exams today. WHAM! Syento por syento!!! Exempted ako sa final exam for one of my subjects!!!! I'm SOOOOOO SOOOOO SOOOOO HAPPY! Living the hermit life during the midterms week paid off. I'm just suuupperrrr thankful at least, bawas na sya sa mga aaralin ko.

BUT THEN, sana pasado naman ako sa consti.. huhu.. I mean I am confident about my midterm exam pero sapagkat bagamat subalit I fear for my grade because of my recitation. You see, my recitation can be likened to... uhmm... never mind. It was just so pathetic. Kaya yun, I believe that my overall grade in consti for the first half is on the rocks. Pero... pero.. sana pasado pa rin. SANA. SANA. SANA. SANA talaga... Kung pwede lang bawasan yung grade ko sa subjects na matataas ako at ilipat yun sa consti, ginawa ko na!!! huhu... I mean, hello?! How am I supposed to like Consti naman kasi eh studying it is like studying the anatomy of a wall. Walang kabuhay-buhay. It can be likened to my french classes during my undergrad years ( I never learned to like it. hay.. I hope someday I'd learn to like it haha). hay.. hay... hay...

Oh well, i'm just really thankful for this day.
To God be the glory.

P.S.
Today was umbrella day. I think those incidents that happened kanina were sooo romantic. As in fairytale/koreanovela/Philippine drama romantic. Pero next time ko na kwento. I just made a note... haha...

I do pray that our barristers would ALL pass the bar. I'm super excited for the send off party for them! Bukas na yun!

This is it.

  • Aug. 17th, 2009 at 7:07 AM

This is it!
Today is officially the first day of my midterm examinations!
Actually, I had my first midterm exam last Friday...
But I don't consider it as an exam EXAM because it's just sem1
ANYWAYYYYYY
To anyone who have been trying to contact me
Or at least texting me since last week
Or since the time I didn't respond
I turned off my phone since I cannot remember when
In lieu of this exam week
So my sicerest apologies...
I just NEED to live a hermit life for a while.
But I shall continue to live THE HERMIT LIFE
After this exam week...
You see, I still haven't adjusted fully...

WISH ME LUCK
PRAY FOR ME

Sana may maisagot ako mamaya sa Crim 1 Exam
I just hope that I do not simply drop dead mamaya.

Waaaaahhhh!!!!!!!!
AJA!

Truly yours,
barely-alive law student

Next next week...

midtermss na!
 
*dies*

natutunan ko... random lang...

It's very hard to prove a criminal case. It really is. Kaya kapag ang isang abogado nasa side ng naghahabla, the first thing that he should tell his client, "mahihirapan po tayo rito." Sa kabilang banda, kapag nasa depensa naman ng isang akusado ang isang abogado, might as well sabihin na nya sa kanyang kliyente na, "sure win na tayo rito." That's it. 'Yun talaga yun. According to my prof, that is the common scenario in a criminal case, kasi nga it's very hard to rely on evidence when it comes to dealing with criminal cases. Kailangan yung ebidensya mo eh beyong reasonable doubt. As in!!! Bukod pa roon, the penal laws are generally on the side of the accused. Hindi ko alam kung papano ko ipapaliwanag dito sa entry na ito yung rationale, unless I cite the entire part of my textbook on Criminal Law. Oh well, basta... mahirap humawak ng kasong may kinalaman sa krimen.

So, san ba nanggaling ang lahat ng ka-random-an ng entry na to? hahaha... nabasa ko kasi sa pep that the widow of Richard Gutierrez' PA who died in the incident would file a criminal case against him. Tapos ayun na, chain reaction. In my opinion, the criminal case wouldn't prosper however in the civil case that would also be filed, I think they would have a chance. Yun lang. Pero syempre, who am I to say whta would happen in the cases filed di ba? Oh well, kanya-kanya! Sabi nga ng isang kaibigan and I quote, "walang basagan ng trip!"

HAHAHA.

Shawt-awt!

I was able to get the schedule I want. Yeah, I was able to get it... I only have two days of classes, Wednesday and Monday.
My Tuesdays and Thursdays would be devoted fully for practicum.

Next time, grad pic ko na ang ipo-post ko.

Human hosepipe

  • Nov. 3rd, 2008 at 5:04 AM
It's 5 am... still rereading another HP book. Funny... funny... it's funny when someone always always always cries. I mean, crying at times is a good way to console oneself but crying all the time--well almost all the time is funny. I was actually, referring to Cho Chang. In HP book 5 all she does is cry. cry. and cry. At first I feel for her, but as the book progresses, I find her crying moments plain funny. Harry even called her a "human hosepipe."

Why I blog...

  • Nov. 3rd, 2008 at 1:37 AM
I blog because I want to be reminded of certain things. I blog because my hands are too tired of writing down my adventures and misadventures on paper. I blog because I like my blog layout for it is pink. :D

****
My Rowling elective is by far the most consolling subject I have this term. HP books never fail to amuse me. I exceptonally love Fred and George ( duh who wouldn't love these characters?!). I realized that  I' m learning much much much more in HP books. I never thought that these books were capable of teaching me life lessons. I never thought that these books were sooo great they were immediately accepted and thouroughly studied in line with those clasic english literary books. Akala ko dati, these books were all about magic. I was wrong.  HP books have sooo much in them... so much....

Ngayon, natatandaan ko na were I got the notion of studying late late at night...

I never regret adjusting my entire schedule just so I could get this HP elective.
FYI: This term, my entire schedule centered around this elective. Super addict ko lang sa HP!

*****

I can't help it.... I just need to port this... very funny!

p. 459 of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

"One perso can't feel all that at once, they'd explode."

"Just because you've got the emotional range of a teaspoon doesn't mean we all have," said Hermione nastily.

FUNNY. super funny....

oooooppss... I need to do my parchment na!

On the verge of...

  • Oct. 31st, 2008 at 5:09 PM


crying. WAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!! Pauwiin nyo ako sa probinsiya namin! I want to go home to the province! I want to go home! I want! I want! I want! I really really really really do!!!!!!! I want to come home. I do not want to get stuck here in Manila. I want to got to the cemetery! I want to experience the traditional Araw ng mga Patay of Filipinos!


I don't want to frustrate myself anymore about wishing of having more time and having a time turner in my possession (uhhmmm too much Harry Potter elective is getting into me na...). I just feel like I'm missing a lot of family gatherings and outings... I miss my mommy and my daddy and my brother and my doggie and the people at home. I miss the comfort of my own home in Quezon City. I also miss my relatives at Nueva Ecija. I missssss my lolo and lola and cousins and all of my extended family... waaaahhhhhhhh........

I know, this seems like and an overly exaggerated (ok, redundant na! ) reaction, but it's true....
It feels like I'm such a baby. :(

 



 

para sa mga feeling nauubusan ng oras :)

  • Oct. 30th, 2008 at 2:59 AM
This is the last time to get it right
This is the last chance to make it our night
We gotta show what we're all about
Work Together
This is the last chance to make our mark (HOOPS! )
History will know who we are!
This is the last game so make it count, it's
Now or Never


****** waaahhhh... I can feel it. I can definitely feel it! Caution is a must! Kailangan matapos na...:D

Pessimism as a Joke

  • Aug. 27th, 2008 at 2:39 AM

The scenario: 
Pasahan bukas ng final exam ng mga ISE people. Dagdag pa rito pasahan na rin ng mini-thesis proposal.
Mas ikinalala pa ng scenario, karamihan  halos lahat ay tagilid ang grades sa hindi maipaliwanag na kadahilanan. Biglang mababa ka pala, akala mo mataas na...

The point of this post:
Sa sobrang pessimism na nakapaligid sa mga ISE people... nakakatawa na...
Bilang patunay narito ang mga status message ng ilan:

"ISE people himala na lang ang makapagliligtas sa atin!"
"Pwedeng patayin nyo na lang ako?"
"Just shoot me already"
"Unti-unting namamatay"
"Sana maghimala ang eurocon"
"Slowly giving up"
"dead I tell you. DEAD."
"Antok na ko pero hindi pa pwedeng matulog!"
"pray for us"

OH DI BA LANG?!

Parang karamihan, kung hindi nanghihiningi ng milagro eh gusto na lang magpakamatay sa sobrang tindi ng pinagdadaanan....

BUT THEN...

Ang kaisa-isang quote na tumimo sa isipan ko from a great "European Saint" ehem ehem.. eurocon?!

NEVER NEVER NEVER QUIT.--Winston Churchill

Ayan. Kailangan talaga tatlo yung "Never"

Honestly, nakakatawa yung tindi ng pessimism namin ngayon dahil kadalasan puro inspirational quotes ang mga stat namin... 
Oh well... ganyan talaga...

SHIFT NA! SHIFT NA!

Sabaw ko.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

  • Aug. 20th, 2008 at 6:15 PM
 ang hirap!

Sobrang bigat ng feeling.
San ako nagkulang? Nasobrahan ba sa tulog?
Ok ang labo na...
Bahala na si Dark Knight!

Kaya ko to!
 

Got it figured out!

  • Jul. 9th, 2008 at 12:32 AM
 I understood the equation! Bwahahaha... wala lang... how can a seemingly mathematically wrong equation be right? The answer lies in the symbolisms. Nasasabaw ako. Oh well, I've been figuring out the meaning of THAT simple equation since I saw it posted three days ago. But it's only now that its meaning dawned upon me! 

How can a 1+1+1?= 1 be right? Because it is really right. haha... context man! context! Gets ko na xa!

Ok sabaw na. 

Bukas dalawang midterms exams ang mayroon ako.
