Why Shouldn't I drop?

It's 12:33 AM. I gave up reading...

I'm not yet finished reading and understanding the cases in Labor Relations Law.
- Rights of the the Members of Labor Organizations.
- Remedies in case of violation of rights.
- Unfair Labor Practices.

My mind is very tired and sick of reading these following words:
- Labor Organization
- Union
- Med Arbiter
- Bureau of Labor Relations (BLR)
- National Labor Relations Commission (NLRC)
- Labor Arbiter
- Reyes Trajano
- Ferrer-Calleja
- Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE)
- Secretary of Labor and Employment
- Federation
- Local Charter
- Independent Union
- Unfair Labor Practices
- Labor Code
- Omnibus Rules
- Voluntary Arbitration
- Certification Election
- Petition for Certification Election
- Employees
- Employer
- Union Security Clauses
- Closed Shop
- Union Shop
- Modified Union Shop
- and other related words

A number of my classmates dropped the subject.
- - for these concurring reasons - -
- - WE DO NOT LIKE THE STYLE OF THE PROFESSOR - -
- - Aside from he only terrorizes us, WE ARE NOT LEARNING SOMETHING - -
- - UNFAIR - -
- - The saying of 1 MILLION UNITS - -

I decided. I WILL NOT DROP.

I really understand why my classmates dropped.

BUT...
I have more compelling reasons for my self why not to drop.
As I contemplate, I thought of these reasons...

1. I survived my 1st year not using my full effort and skills without failing a single subject.
--- This only means that I can do better this year than the previous year.
--- All I have to do is to add more effort and my the improvement of my skills will follow.


2. I got a grade of 87 percent in my Labor Standards class to a professor who has a better credentials than my present instructor and has a strict standards in grading.
--- Why should I be afraid to a professor who only knows is to terrorize?


3. I'm the class president. I should be a role-model. I should be strong.
--- Our class should stand strong. I don't want to fail them. We should fight!


4. My friends in the Faculty of Civil Law are always there for support!
--- We can do this together! United we are strong!


5. Aside from being a Thomasian. I must not forget that I'm a La Sallian!
--- It is a shame for me, being a La Sallian, that I will just give-up with this small trial!
--- ANIMO! xxx and never shall we fail!

All contradictions from my previous blog entries are hereby repealed! lolz

It's now 1:42 AM... Time to sleep... The new morning is waiting for me. :)

A Crucial Stage

I am now in the stage of contemplating if my decision of studying law is right.

I know that most of you know that I just a happy-go-lucky person who hates reading and studying.

A conventional law student, as they said, should be reading and studying much which I'm not doing. They say that a law student should be studying at least more than 50% of their time which I failed to do.

Yes, I know that I have a lot of time to study. But I'm not really comfortable doing it.

Reading lots of cases...
Memorizing provisions of law...
NO WAY

With that way of attitude, it seems that I can't survive in the Faculty of Civil Law.

I'm just studying 1-2 hours a day and that's it.

In my first year, I don't know why I survived with that kind of study habits considering more that half of my classmates, who studies a lot more than I do, were debarred from UST.
PS: I didn't fail a single subject...

I'm really wondering why.

Maybe, I'm just LUCKY... I'm NOT BRILLIANT anyway...

I repeat... I HATE READING (cases) AND MEMORIZING (provisions).
I can't force myself to do so...

I cannot make myself a conventional law student. I'm trying to do but I really can't do so!

I'm still allowed to drop subjects before August 3rd.
I'm still thinking about it...

Question: Should I really act as a "conventional law student" in order to survive?

So tired...

Last night, I went to the birthday dinner of a high school friend in Quezon City after my evening law class. It was fun and happy seeing my high school friends after a long time.

Have some games.
Have some drinks.

I got home for about 4am this morning.

I went to school at 8am.

I was called for the recitation in Negotiable Instruments Law.
I was called for the recitation in Labor Relations Law.
I was called for the recitation in Public Corporations.

GRAND SLAM!!!

Reasoning...

What is the reason why am I doing these things?

None. I don't need a reason. I know what to do.

The world is too big to find the reason of its existence. We are just a small part of this big world.

stressed...

3 hours of Law on Property... movable, immovable...
Sobrang bilis...
Article 415 - Article 439.
Isang meeting lang 'yun.
Buti na lang hindi natawag.

On our way home,
Sinubukan namin ang Roxas Blvd. route.
Akala namin, may left turn papuntang Vito Cruz...
'Yan tuloy, sa MoA pa kami naka-ikot.
Pero ok lang 'yun...

Sapagkat mas nakaka-pressure ang Labor Standards Law bukas...
1 Million Units!!! (hoping for the class suspension)
...and Criminal Procedures...

Anong mas nakakatakot? Law Recitation o Multo?

May nabasa akong isang blog na nagsasabing may nagpaparamdam daw sa room 141 ng UST Main Building. Ang room 141 ang aming silid-alaran noong 1st year at maging ngayong 2nd year. Ang balita daw ay may namatay na isang mag-aaral ng Pharmacy sa naturang silid na naka-upo sa may bandang likuran. Sa may bandang likuran din ako naka-upo. Marami na daw kaso ng pag-paparamdam ang naging usap-usapan sa Main Building ng UST tulad nang pagpapakita daw ng isang espiritu na hugis pari.

Medyo nakakatakot ang mga ganoong usapan lalo na't isang hot spot ang aming silid-aralan.

Ngayon, saan ba dapat mas matakot? sa recitation na mahirap sagutin o sa multo na talagang nakakakikilabot?

Who is the legal counsel in that case?

Ano bang klaseng tanong yan?
