ATENEO LAW CUP


Forum on Freedom, Peace and Genuine Democracy: August 21

BUSINA will hold a forum on Freedom, Peace and Genuine Democracy tomorrow [August 21] at ISO, Ateneo de Manila in Loyola.

It will be attended by around 300 participants from all the schools/universities and NGOs involved. It will be a good venue to learn and talk about the burning issues today including the MOA and the recently-concluded ARMM Elections.
Resource speakers will be Fr. Bernas and Atty. Medina.
See you all!

Announcement from FORUM: Guidelines for Write-up

Guidelines for Write-up:

1) Use the attached file to write your write-up. You can fill up the space allocated using the given font (VERDANA size 9)

2) Only TEXT is allowed. No pictures or any other non-text content.

3) The preferred output are paragraphs of text. No forming pictures using letters or other similar formatting styles are allowed. Note that the format you utilize will most likely NOT be preserved. So for those planning to write haikus, other types of poetry, and the like should prepare to see some possible distortion if they make their content too format sensitive.

Example:

I
am
a
good
law
student.

The editorial board makes no commitment to preserve such formatting. The above example may eventually result in

I
am
a
good
law
student

or even "I am a good law student"

4) English should be the dominant language used. Other languages may be used sparingly as quotations, sayings, and the like.

5) Content should be tasteful meaning that anything deemed distasteful may be removed upon the discretion of the Editorial Board. For example, use of crude language or other obscenities are generally frowned upon and will most likely be edited out.


6) However, content will try to be preserved as much as possible within the confines of the aforementioned limitations.

7) How to name your file:
Section_Idnumber_ Surname_First Letter of First Name.doc AND
Section_Idnumber_ Surname_First Letter of First Name.rtf (go to save as and choose file type as Rich Text Format or .rtf - NO DOCX files or other formats will be accepted. MAC users, Vista Users, WordXP users, etc, please take NOTE OF THIS)

For example: Juan dela Cruz from section A with Id number 11111:
A_11111_dela Cruz_J.doc AND A_11111_dela Cruz_J.rtf

8) In case you haven't noticed, you have to submit TWO versions of the file (with the same content) with different file types.

9) Submit all write-ups to your respective yearbook representatives. The manner of submission will be left up to them since they have the responsibility of collating.

10) Obey all deadlines. Failure to do so may result in being treated as not having submitted.

11) EVERYONE must submit a writeup. Failure to do so will effectively allow the editorial board to reflect such fact of your non-submission in any manner it deems fit (such manner not being defamatory of course)

You always want more. I dread the day when I'm at my best and you would still want more.

Never...

...test the depth of the water with both feet.

You'll either drown or make a fool of yourself.

So Sick...

... not of love songs.

I literally am sick. During Midterms. Crap.

Wala ngang love issues may health issues naman. Tradition na talaga ito.

Anyway, the reason for this blog entry isn't really my health problem but that of my friend's. Here's my open letter to her.
----------------
To You,

Never ever let anyone define you. If he's too chicken to stick with you, let him go. It's not that you're not worth it but it's because [cliche warning] you probably deserve someone better. It goes without saying that he might have personal issues that he still has to settle and that his chickening out may be a mere manifestation of his personal battle. [Cliche warning no.2] If it doesn't kill you, it will make you stronger.

I know it hurts, you have every reason to cry, doubt yourself and wallow in pity.. but don't. You are a wonderful person and if he doesn't recognize how precious you are, he is not worth your time, your tears, not even your anger. Be the best that you can be, that's the sweetest revenge.

Midterms dude. Being a lawyer is way more important than a good-for-nothin' a-hole.

Love you much.

From Me
