Got Carrie-d Away

The Sex and the City movie is definitely a must-see for fans of the television show.

I love this movie. Although it would be nice if they didn't cut some scenes. I mean, what's the point of the title of the movie? Anyway, my fave scenes are probably towards the end when everything is alright with New York. And I love the ones with all the girls walking together to where they're going.


It was nice to see the girls again. I could easily relate to Charlotte. She seemed so positive and hopeful, too hopeful sometimes. But I would like the get some of the traits of Carrie, who always sees the big picture, and a bit of sarcasm in Miranda, who is probably the opposite of Charlotte. And I bow to Samantha, still the epitome of girl power, I mean, woman power.

I also love the supporting cast, particularly the leading men. While I rooted for Carrie and Big at the finale, Miranda and Steve have always been my fave couple.

So go get your girlfriends, drink some cosmos (optional), and relive the lives of Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda in this reunion movie.

UPDATE: Sex and the City broke box office sales in opening weekend with $55.7 million, followed by the Indiana Jones movie with $46 million.

UPDATE 2: I'm doing a SATC series marathon starting today.

A late rant

About my grades...

As expected, I didn't meet the normal passing rate. Why? Because I got low grades on the three killer subjects. Grrr... One particular subject is, I think, the silent killer.

Funny that my lowest grade is on Civil Law, the subject that I found the easiest in this whole ordeal called the Bar Exams. AS IF?!? It was one of the subjects I reviewed over and over again, along with Remedial Law, Taxation, and Legal Ethics. And I got passing grades in all three subjects. So, a big DUH. As for the other two subjects, Labor and Criminal Law, I would understand a bit because as I emphasized my review on the others subjects, I only did two readings max on these subjects. Although I think I deserve a higher grade, lol.

What does this leaves me? Nothing, except that I'm glad that this ordeal is so over. And then another one begins...

Oh well. Bring it on!

One more rant. Unlike some of my batchmates, I'm proud to be a 2007 BAR passer, simply because I endured THREE killer subjects, unlike in the previous exams which only have one or two. So to the naysayers, this batch will prove you that we are as deserving to be granted the privilege to use that appellation, ATTY.

To all the 2007 BAR passers, YOU ROCK!

One year to go...

It was Mama's birthday yesterday, a few hours ago, actually. One year before turning six decades. She celebrated her big day attending early mass, getting her face "done", and afterwards, having dinner out with me and bro. But the celebration doesn't end there. Tomorrow, I mean, later, Mama and I along with some family and friends will be heading to Pansol (Laguna) for a much needed R&R.

On my part, I'm glad I finally gave that gift to Mama. Well, besides that Cross pen. Now if only I could find a job that suits me well, but I'm getting there.

Happy Birthday Mama. From your forever little helper.

The End.

I'm officially out of the job. Which brings me to the end of my non-legal career. Lovely. My leaving was voluntary, though. Earlier than expected. I have to say that I'm quite sad that I left without "things" being settled or my task being accomplished. In those aspects, I felt that I "failed". But definitely at least one good thing came out from my work experience in that company: I got my self-confidence back. I came to the job pretty sad and so much aloof and quiet, I'm coming out of it still quiet and aloof. But not sad anymore. If I didn't pass the bar I would have left without even informing the boss. But I did, and over the last few weeks I was faced with the dilemma on whether I should stay at my current job while looking for work or start job hunting full time at the risk of losing funds again. I chose the latter.

I really thought it was time to leave. As my boss said, I'm bigger than my job. I truly believe that. The only thing that was good about my last day is that I was able to talk with the boss briefly about what's in store for me. And for him I'm truly grateful, and to the associate editor who took a chance of hiring me under the circumstances. I would have loved to stay, but as fate would have allowed it (finally), the job is not for me anymore. Good luck to the new case digest specialist.

Almost Over...

... the sad chapter of my life, that is.

I am finishing some stuff from work and then I'm on a clean slate again. Too bad things didn't work out for me in the workplace, but it was bound to happen sooner or later. I kinda like my job and was planning to stay for a year. But things happened and they do happen for a reason, and I knew I have to leave.

Don't let this monkey deceive you...

This Zoobie Pet is a stuffed toy, pillow, and a blanket in one cute package. Great for kids and kids at heart.

I think I've reverted back to my childhood. Bad. What the heck, I'm adding this little guy to my wish list. If anybody cares.

More Oath Taking Pics

This time, from the "official" photographer

Make Your Own Havaianas '08

Waited in line for about 4 hours just to get this baby...

Atty-at-last!!!

Just some significant pics taken earlier to complete everything.

Patting myself on the back

I took the oath last April 29. Can't believe it finally happened.

While I will not dwell anymore on that En Banc session (which lasted for less than an hour), I would like to share some positive thoughts.

Finally I get to be happy for me.

I love my life. I love my family. I love my friends. I love God, most of all.

Despite what had happened, I still have high hopes to make it in the profession.

I just want to post my two favorite pics taken before the oath taking and my party afterwards.


Without the pointed hat


My family!

Tomorrow I will sign the attorney's roll and become a full fledged lawyer. Woo-hoo!
