Hi.

Allow me to get ahead of myself. I am a lawyer waiting for an appointment in public service, and this is where I shall hopefully chronicle the craziness from hereon.

Welcome to my online diary.

I met a non lawyer today who regularly appears before the DARAB, an administrative board, as counsel for the farmer beneficiaries. He came to the office to have several pleadings notarized and I immediately observed the defective verification attached to the pleadings on appeal. Instead of the valid IDs of the parties, meaning government issued, he indicated IDs issued by their own private farmer's association. I brought the matter to his attention, that his pleadings would eventually be denied on mere technicality as improper verification, and therefore all his efforts at representing the parties would be futile and dismissed outright, which is a sad thing. I must have embarrassed him by pointing out the issue  in front of his 'clients', but I tried my hardest to explain it to him in a way that didn't humiliate him or put to question his credibility to handle the cases. I'm glad he listened. I made him come back and change the verification page, gather the valid...

2024 M*therf*cker!

Here I am again. It has taken me two years to remember that this blog exists. I am 41 years old. There are less years ahead of me than behind me. I now care less about people's opinions and wear bikinis with little to zero inhibition. I am still married to an amazing man. We go on spontaneous trips and domestic vacations, which were easily done thanks to our DINK lifestyle--Dual Income, No Kids. We planned a trip to my sister, brother in law and nephew in the UK by the end of the year. I hope it pushes through. I am still a Public Attorney, now working appellate practice. I have given up trial court litigation seven years ago. My cortisol levels have eased, thanks to this shift.  In 2023 I lost my father to a complication following a preventive surgery.  I rest in the thought that in his hour of passing my Mama was there to welcome him. I miss them both terribly.  I have seen several heartbreaks of losing my mother and father in a span of 4 years. I thought I would have m...

Anybody here?

Today is May 13, 2022, Friday the 13th. That explains my accidental rediscovery that I. Have. An. Online. Journal. And that I am now married. Hitched. Effing no longer a spinster, like my Mama always threatened I'd become.  I am sitting in my office space along Tiano-San Agustin Streets wearing my safari-inspired shirt dress from H&M, contemplating whether grabbing banana turon is a wise decision. I am still a Public Attorney after all these years. I intentionally spelled that with capital letters to reflect my growing pride in the service.  My husband turned 34 yesterday. On the index of happy ages, he is sitting at the margins of bliss. I love him so much that it pains me that we are going to be physically apart for the most part of our lives. I, however, am happy to accept the predicament, as long as I know he is getting the vitamins and shut-eye he needs. Oh, I have got lots of stories. I do hope to unload these as we go one day at a time. I've missed writing like this...
