i made a total overhaul of my blog layout and practically changed it into summer. i didn't want to change the old design, but i realized it's getting too boring and dark for my taste.

this is what i did the whole morning before class. obviously i would have to cram for the rest of the night.

right now, i'm eating a plate of pesto and a slice of pizza [ from napoli ], updating my blog, and trying to memorize the grounds for motion to quash for crimpro with the rules of criminal procedure positioned in front of me. i always attempt to multi-task but i end up doing only a specific task or nothing at all..

and for bad news...

our labor law teacher walked out on us awhile ago in class for no apparent reason. wala lang. everyone in class was paranoid; we didn't know which one of us is the culprit. we all felt bad 'cause she's very nice [ compared to the others ] and down to earth. she doesn't make us wait for hours or makes us feel as if we're idiotic, immature spoiled brats who don't deserve to be in UP law in the first place.

decisions, decisions..

i'm thinking about deleting my friendster account. i just don't like it when people [ me included ] rely too much on friendster as if it's the word of God. may kasama lang na lalaki/baby sa picture, may boyfriend/asawa/anak na. hay. it brings out the worst chismosa/chismoso in most of us. it eats up our time which should be allotted for studying, working or more importantly, sleeping. for a time, it was really fun and exciting re-establishing connections with old friends or receiving testimonials from people. but after some time, the account is just there, idle. people add you, but most of the time, you don't maintain contact with each other anyway. for once, maybe, this person just recognized that you exist, but what then after that? and it just reminds me of some bad memories and bad people i don't even want to think about anymore. it re-affirms the 6-degrees of connection theory and makes you realize that somehow, you and [ insert name of person you hate here ] are in close proximity after all. and some people's profiles are just so irritatingly pretentious. they use it to flaunt their "assets", real or imagined. and don't you just hate it when people you don't know [ "hi, could you be my friend?" ]or people who you were acquainted with [ like back when you were in grade 3 ] but never spoke more than three words to in the past just add you? o tapos, ano, close tayo? i especially hate it when people use it as a gauge of popularity, i.e., the more friends you have, the more popular you are. ngork.. you want reliable sources? try blogs. or, ask the person directly by contacting him/her. but i haven't decided yet if i'm going to delete it because i'm not yet sure if the "evils" of friendster outweigh the benefits i get from it. well, i can't deny the fact that i get to contact again some good friends through friendster. but that was before, when i still had the patience to message them through my account. but now, i just use text/ym/e-mail. hmm..

i'm also thinking about getting a job. our teacher two sems ago is looking for a research to study cases on medical malpractice in the philippines. i didn't really give it much thought until i learned that she's giving 10,000 a month for it, for 10 months. so that's like 100,000 in one sweep! that's enough to buy me my own digital videocam already. or a 5-year year supply of toblerone fondue... but i don't know if i'll be able to handle it, because getting a job means giving up some of my interests. i'll think about it though.. it might be a good experience for me.

okay. aral time.
