But you're a law student...

It's a sunday, sabbath day, rest day. You should be in the mall with your family. Attend church service. Eat in a nice restaurant. Or better yet, catch up on your favorite series or watch the latest movie.

You are tired. It's 2 in the morning. You've been reading since 6 p.m. It's your fourth cup of coffee. You're body says stop but your mind says go. You're nearing a melt down.

You have a high fever. Any amount of coffee can't take away the weakness. You want to sleep all day.

But you can't! You're a law student! Our professor in agency told us one saturday. It's a simple phrase but goes right to the very essence of what Ateneo Law stands for. We are expected to be diligent students. We need to be, because the professors push us to our limits - giving unreasonable case assignments, making complex exam questions, and difficult recit questions. There are moments when the mere thought of the work load is enough to overwhelm your mind.

We're law students. We can't complain. Now you know why the world revolves around law school.

Noli Aurillo: poetry in motion

Our prof. in Sales, Atty. Dy, suggested that we watch Noli Aurillo's videos in youtube. Being a guitarist myself, I was curious how good Aurillo really is so I watched it. I thought Atty. Dy was just exaggerating when he said Noli Aurillo is the best guitarist in the Philippines but now I totally understand what he meant. He's so good that I realize how much unskilled I am.

Aurillo is the best not only because he is very skilled but also because there is poetry by the way he strums, plucks, and even the way he moves his wrists. If Atty. Dy would ask me in one word how to describe Aurillo's music, I'd say: mesmerizing.

What are you waiting for watch the videos now!!
