Feb. 15th, 2014 11:01 pmREQUIRED to join the special activity, or fail.
REQUIRED to assume risk and indemnity and give release for said activity, or fail.
(There's a joke here somewhere.)
If I fail this, I'm going to have to take it AGAIN. All my effort for this semester will have been for nothing.
If I skip work for this, my kids might fall behind too far. My work will pile up, and I might fail more of my classes.
I think I want to hit someone for this.

According to a family member whose opinions I normally respect:
- Successful, intelligent, "intimidating" women = Forever Alone, Level 9000+ and
- Meek, feminine women = Marriage = Happy Ever After?
NO. JUST NO.
I'm sorry, but if guys are too afraid to try and approach me because they think I'm competition, because they feel like they should be needed or not be challenged in order to have a place in a girl's life? Then maybe they're not the guys for me.
Maybe I'm saying this because I've never had a boyfriend, or that I'm on the boyish side of things, but the implication that I will have to "soften" myself up just to attract boys doesn't sit well with me. I admit, I'm curious about what it's like to have a proverbial boyfriend, but I cannot wrap my mind around the idea that I will have to somehow weaken myself (i.e. be less "intimidating" or less of a "competition") in order to be considered attractive.
Exactly HOW do I do that? Be less smart? Be quieter (I barely talk already)? Be more feminine?
I don't think so. That's not me. NEVER been me.
Or maybe there's another way of seeing this that I'm missing? I dunno.
Any thoughts?

Mar. 20th, 2012 11:26 pmI think I used up all my Brain Juice studying for Labor.
I have three more exams to worry about.

Even the brainlessness and complete and utter non-subtextiness of BBC's Merlin isn't kickstarting things as it has been for these past few weeks.
I so look forward to (what little) summer vacation. And then... work.

Feb. 29th, 2012 03:29 pmGood passing rate this year for the school! Someone from the school got into the top 10!
Congratulated someone over FB who apparently didn't pass the Bar. I'm so sorry, bro ;____;
Buwisit naman yung nagpakalat ng Admission List instead of Bar Passers List >:(

I absolutely despise writing about politics. The annoyance and frustration shut my brain down, and I end up with one hell of a writer's block whenever I have to so much as think about politics. I hate not being able to think straight about it and ending up being horridly late with my deadlines because I. CAN'T. THINK.
(also the topic bores me to stupidity)
I suppose it is time I resigned from the paper.
Anyways, have to finish these last two articles first.

But at least all my dead silences would've been kept at bay.
Went to my first corporate job interview today. Very nervous. I'm qualified for the position, but the schedule may just wreak havoc on my schoolwork for next semester (since orientation for the job alone will be at the end of the schoolyear). I have a week to decide on whether or not I want to pursue it.
Deeply regret not paying closer attention to people's names. I think I can remember them well enough, but I think I was too fritzed to really pay 100% attention.

"Tomorrow aral na naman for Property." -- Studying again tomorrow for Property
"Engot magaral ka tonight. Anong drink and get drunk tonight? Eeeeennnnngggggggggoootttttt." -- Dumbass! Study tonight! What do you mean "drink and get drunk tonight?" IIIIMMMMMBBBBBBEEECCCCCCCIIIIIILLEEEEEEE!
I read this in their voices, too. Kinda hilarious to know our dean actually trolls people both offline AND online.

To-do List
Oct. 6th, 2011 11:31 am- Get a scholarship >>>>> CHECK
- Work on the editorial board >>>>> CHECK
- Take the board exam >>>>> CHECK
- Get the refund on my tuition >>>>> ........
Semester's almost done and they STILL haven't arranged for the damn thing. AND I'm going to have to do the whole weekly chasing/reminding/showing up shit AGAIN NEXT TERM because we need receipts.
Other than that, been relatively peachy. I can't wait to read non-law books again, or write, or teach myself guitar, or learn how to drive.

Reading people flail and gnash their teeth and rend garments and just, generally go INSANE RIGHT AFTER whatever happens in a Tiger and Bunny episode
is awesome and fun and will never stop being funny.

Aug. 7th, 2011 01:39 amSomething for A Softer Final Fantasy:
I have no idea if my submissions went through as Tumblr is an alien landscape to me and I am hoping that inserting the image into a post does the trick.
Also, Tiger and Bunny is kinda cute. The title had me going WTF for a bit, but got over that soon enough. Am having fun trying to figure out the plot.

Just got back.

Okay, sleeping now.

Law school has its silly points, too.
Don't You Just Hate It When
Jun. 11th, 2011 10:17 amYou stumble across a fic that's based on a really interesting idea, but has bad execution?
Way too much Telling, not enough Showing -- I keep getting thrown out of the story because of this. It's supposed to be an emotional, gripping, moving moment, but it just comes out as flat and prosaic.
Still following it around, anyway, but... yeah.

Why I Probably Suck as an Editor
May. 25th, 2011 01:57 amI'm too damn anal with published English. Bad grammar, awkward sentence structure and poor wording squicks me too damn hard. These compel me to fix them, no matter how long it could take.
Unfortunately, I take too long to finish them, which could mean that my editing won't be used to anyway. Just like tonight - I spent the whole day staring at one article, and the whole night trying to fix it. Then one of my co-editors submits another revision (her second pass of the same article, actually) as FINAL.
That... sucks. I really need to figure out how to edit without succumbing to OC tendencies.
