Laws and Found

Drumroll please, because starting today I will be featuring memes that truly depict the hard life of law students. Being in law school is no joke. If you do not have any love life before starting law study, chances are, you will have none once you are within it's hallowed embrace, unless you fantasize being with another law student. Yes, indeed the study of law is like having a jealous lover. He wants all of your undivided attention during all waking hours, sometimes even in your sleep. I can still recall vividly those night terrors masquerading as dreams of me being in a classroom and called for recitation, but when I open my mouth, no sound came out! I would wake up drenched in sweat. Well, indeed 'law is in the air.' posted from Bloggeroid The Blogger Hi! I'm a law student from Manila, Philippines.  I did Political Science, then Industrial Relations major in H.R. (postgrad) studies from UP.  I vlog, weightlift, experiment with new makeup look...

"Thank you for the music" This blogger's first musical instrument, a one-of-a kind RJ Pink guitar. Source: Laws and Found Blog Music is like the air I breathe. When I read law books, music adds reading pleasure with it playing softly in the background.  I believe I understand better that way. It is like water. A human can survive 10 days without food, 3 days without water but for me, a day without music feels like eternity. I can read and work as long as music is present. It is an adrenalin-drawing factor that pumps me up so I'd have the energy to clean out the mess in my work space.  I can survive a life without television but not without music. In fact I play YouTube music right on my television just to get my fix.  Each chance, I drown myself with the best mixes I can find.  Music is like salt and lemon to my tequila. It is like ganache to my favorite triple trouble chocolate cake. I can do whatever needs to be done as long as there is music.  F...

Let's just say I have a lot of bosses. In my own happy world I myself is my own boss. Of course I wanna be a boss one day. In my house I'd like to think I am the queen, but that is until my 2 little bosses arrive from school, then I become the driver, chef, carpenter, etc. In relationships, no one has to be the boss because the two people in it must be co-equals. Otherwise, if the other person wants to play boss, then he better pay me a regular salary and I'll play the role of the submissive employee. When you are in law school, the only person who's boss inside the class room is your professor. I have a mix of classmates who are the Big Bosses in their offices or organizations. I used to have classmates who are high-ranking police officials, president of their companies, and high-ranking priests. But all these titles disappear in thin air when the real Boss arrives with class cards in tow. Now all that matters is whether or not we had thoroughly studied the rea...

Source: gmmurgirl logos Originally published: May 2014 | Last updated: October 13, 2026 It's one of those things that I should have done eons ago, but didn't because there was no need (yet). Then I went to law school, and the prospect of taking the bar later on loomed on the horizon. Then I had to get a passport for future work-related travels. With all these milestones piling up, the need to correct a clerical typo in my birth certificate became top priority. And the best news? It took less than two months. If you can recall, I wrote previously about my struggle with a clerical typo in my family name entry on my birth certificate. I filed my petition in my birthplace during the first week of April 2014, and the turnaround blew all my expectations away. The Dash to Zamboanga: By Hook or by Crook I didn't have much time, so I booked a flight to my birthplace for a quick 3-day visit. I arrived on a Sunday so I could familiarize myself with the city, which I was visiting f...

Image from Gunwatch Blog   I'm not a lawyer yet, but, I am fully aware of the dangers posed by this profession to its members. If you are a lawyer, it is better to be ready for any harm that could come your way any moment. Earlier this evening, I saw a news snippet running on the television screen about a hostage-taking incident gone awry which unfortunately resulted to the death of the hostage victim who happens to be a lawyer. The bloody incident happened in San Juan City. Immediately, my mind played a host of possibilities and generated possible scenarios on why and how that deadly turn of events started. It is really disheartening to hear news about lawyers getting caught in the middle of two factions or worst, end up six feet under the ground. Being a lawyer is similar to being in the police force or army because literally, you are in the line of fire. Standing in the middle of two opposing sides multiplies that risk tenfold. Self-defense training, anyone? Living ...
