Hi!

I thought blogging on here would become a regular thing, but with all the craziness of the situation at work, which is a good kind of crazy I must say, blogging seems a long shot.

Anyhoo, I'm here because I just had to share what transpired in court today.

I was defending the accused in a drug use case and presented him on the stand to testify. Direct exam went smoothly until I threw the last question at the accused: "Do you take any illegal drug?"

Dear friends, the answer of my client was : "Yes."

Ni-ulbo akong kaspa.

XDDDDD

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.

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...
