music: fad from the old hood

2011-02-12T18:23:00.001-08:00

after a long absence from my hood.. i returned finding the little kids turned into young adults...they shared their favorite songs with me and and sharing it in return to the general public..budotz is a term applied to those who frequent the bunguyan beach fronts of davao city...adjacent to queensland and times beach...the female counterpart is budatz...for those who hang around the hotspot past midnight till the wee hours of the morning..fridays and saturday nights of the week... :-)...luv the showdowns!

coming up: bar matters

2010-09-30T22:23:00.000-07:00

lots of materials in upcoming posts..soon as i get back to my HOMEBASE..
right now i'm still unwinding from the pressures of the past months..it turned out to be a "bloody" one!

file management: working with review materials

2010-04-01T00:33:00.000-07:00

first and foremost in importance on dealing with bar~review~ materials, which comes in such forms as dotPDF, dotDOC, dot MP3, dot WAV...what have you, is the manner of converting these files into formats which suit your needs.

dot PDF files from ADOBE PAGEMAKERS/OPEN OFFICE(i think the most recent MS OFFICE has also added the "EXPORT as PDF" functionality) is the most important form due to its portability or fast transmission capability and its ever most important NARRATOR(READ-ALOUD) function which reads through your document consistently...barring brownouts..hehe!
dotDOC is also good but the drawback is its vulnerability to VIRUSES.
dotMP3 is nice to work with due to its adaptability/support in most GADGETS available in the market these days, be it PDA's, IPOD's, generic mobile music PLAYERS, and/or cellular phones(BLACKBERRY is the meanest).
dotWAV is not recommended as they tend to take too much space in your HARDISKS/memory STICKs/SDs/microSD's.
dotTXT files are the most BASIC and the easiest files to work with.

i will then work on some files which i will be sharing in the succeeding posts as an example on how to manage them according to your specific needs. like from PDF, a narrator may be activated(ms sam voice) and recorded through a recording software( i prefer AUDACITY for this purpose)plus a loop back chord from your AUDIO OUT(most CPU's tag them as SPEAKER) to your LINE-IN or MIC outlet(where the jack goes IN) then saving it in MP3 form (MP4 is more sophisticated in the sense that images and sound may be combined and compressed into relatively lighter files.

unfortunately, i haven't gone through the process of REVERSE~ENGINEERING dotMP3 files yet...i tried to search for the specific software but failed.
the work around for this of course is to have them transliterated, that is, from AUDIO to TEXT which requires the services of STENOGRAPHERS. and is, i should say, quite costly...
anyways...will keep on searching!

saying that “ there would be a possible impeachment for SC justices who decided on the issue on MIDNIGHT APPOINTMENTS..”
hmmm…nice move towards JUDICIAL REFORMS!

to think that his father 'ninoy' bore the blunt of a SC that mis-postured during the 'marcos' regime...it is not at all unthinkable nor surprising for him to be declaring such statements... or having such an attitude...panahon na cguro...i cannot think of any other candidate who would give us even just a little bit of hope in order to implement the much needed JUDICIAL REFORMS!

SC decisions are not bound by DISSENTING nor SEPARATE opinions. we are told to watch out for them dissenting opinions as they tend to be controlling in a 'future' time.

notable on this aspect was the late CJ teehankee's consistent dissents..until 'people power' took over..a seated CJ was requested to resign.. of course, but does it always take a revolution or an uprising to reward INTEGRITY?

the court 'en banc' quoted the OSG argument as follows:

1. When Chief Justice Claudio Teehankee retired on April 18, 1988, Chief Justice Pedro Yap was appointed on the same day;
2. When Chief Justice Yap retired on July 1, 1988, Chief Justice Marcelo Fernan was appointed on the same day;
3. When Chief Justice Fernan resigned on December 7, 1991, Chief Justice Andres Narvasa was appointed the following day, December 8, 1991;
4. When Chief Justice Narvasa retired on November 29, 1998, Chief Justice Hilario Davide, Jr. was sworn into office the following early morning of November 30, 1998;
5. When Chief Justice Davide retired on December 19, 2005, Chief Justice Artemio Panganiban was appointed the next day, December 20, 2005; and
6. When Chief Justice Panganiban retired on December 6, 2006, Chief Justice Reynato S. Puno took his oath as Chief Justice at midnight of December 6, 2006.[85]

most proly 'leading' to a concept of precedents as if it was alright to appoint a new CJ soon as the seat is vacated...all in a day that is..
but it raises too many questions..

for one: were these dates within an impending 'PRESIDENTIAL' elections?
two: was there an on-going appointment ban in each of those moments?

trivia: strange realities

2009-09-25T00:43:00.000-07:00

been browsing thru my review materials and i came across this space filler...

RECEIVED FROM E-MAIL:

Hey people, some tough questions for you to answer:

QUESTION 1: If you knew a woman who was pregnant, who had eight (8)kids already, three who were deaf, two who were blind, one mentally retarded and she had syphilis (S.T.D.), would you recommend that she have an abortion?

Read the next question before scrolling down to the answer of this one.

QUESTION 2: It is time to elect a new world leader, and your vote counts. Here are the facts about the three leading candidates:

Candidate A: Associates with crooked politicians, and consults with astrologists. He's had two mistresses. He also chain smokes and drinks 8 to 10 martinis a day.

Candidate B: He was kicked out of office twice, sleeps until noon, used opium in college and drinks a quart of whisky every evening.

Candidate C: He is a decorated war hero. He's a vegetarian, doesn't smoke, drinks an occasional beer and hasn't had any extramarital affairs.

Which of these candidates would be your choice? Decide first, no peeking, then scroll down for the answer.

1. Candidate A is Franklin D. Roosevelt
2. Candidate B is Winston Churchill
3. Candidate C is Adolph Hitler

And by the way: Answer to the abortion question. If you said yes, you just killed Beethoven.

Pretty interesting isn't it? Makes a person think before judging someone.

Remember, amateurs built Noah's Ark!!! Professionals built the Titanic!!!

lawyers' lampoons

a man goes into a pet shop to buy a parrot. the shop owner points to three identical parrots on a perch and says, " the parrot on the left costs $500."

" why does it cost so much?" asks the man, incredulous. the owner says, " well, the parrot knows how to do legal research."

the man then asks about the next parrot and is told that one costs a whooping $1000 because it can do everything the other parrot can do, plus it knows how to write a brief that will win any case in any court.

naturally, the increasingly startled man asks about the third parrot and is told that it costs $2000! he asks, " what can it do?"

" to be honest," the owner replies, " i have never seen it do a thing but the other two parrots call him Senior Partner."

legal: evidence-testimonial privy

rules of court: rule 130, sec. 25

before, this objection could only be invoked in a criminal case where the parents or other direct ascendants, or children or other direct descendants were charged with an offense. now, it can also be invoked in a civil case.

actually, an individual is not disqualified to become a witness against his ascendants or descendants. but if he does not like to testify against them then that is his privilege and he cannot be compelled to do so.

here again, the law wants to maintain harmonious relations among members of the same family and to preserve filipino family solidarity.

when a descendant is presented as a prosecution witness, the defense counsel should see to it that he is informed of his privilege not to testify against his parents or ascendants, whether in a criminal or civil case. through inaction the privilege can be lost...

Hi, I am looking for a certain someone with a certain set of 'special skills'.

A particular person, who I previously thought a lot of, has gone behind my back. This person, I never want to see again, If you catch my drift... Make it happen.

Be warned, they're not an easy target, she can certainly take a few punches. Depending on how strong you are, you may need to group with some friends and attack her all at the same time. Even if you're not the one to land the final hit on her, I will still reward you.

Finding her shouldn't be a hard task; she goes by the alias "Delusive".

places: pagadian city

2009-08-09T00:02:00.001-07:00

after so many years..i'm finally threading my footsteps on the very roads and sidewalks that i've walk on during my childhood days....

yea! the city of my birth that tugs on my heartstrings like a pretty collegiala in the campus of ateneo...so alluring..so sweet, so full of possibilities...

it's been sooo long since i've been here...most of my sidetrips were just stop-overs...now i get to experience the city's nightlife...tonite were watching a beauty pageant in the nearby gym and get to see the local beauties! LOL
HIGHLIGHTS: the JSCSC beauty pageant... a friend named weiwe and myself decided to take a look at the beauty pageant held near the nearby 'capitolyo' on a not yet completed gym(already functional of course)..the venue itself is spectacular..the building comprises eight circular columns some 6-9 meters in height carrying its barrel type roof of three semi circular vaults...the stage being a focal point of its design harmonizing with its curvilinear theme...admirable in a way adding a gem in the city's tree-studded landscape...

on to the pageant..we were standing on the left side of the stage ,,some 3m from its edge...that way we could see the contestants walk laterally on the entire width of the stage before speaking and introducing themselves to the ecstatic audience gathered from the several,,many state colleges of the province..we went through the entire process of closely scrutinizing the college girls and i made my choice..yes..the beauty from 'Dumingag' state college..a blend of local and hispanic-hindu blood caught my attention and eventually my approval...the voluptuous curves and the almond eyes ,,then the sweetest smile as she glanced my way and gave me a wink..yea..hahha..i must have been dreaming...for a while i thought i was in brazil..immersed in the sensual allure of the hot latinas..like they say "muy calliente!" then i realized..this is pagadian..i felt a sense of pride...with these world class beauties...what could ever go wrong?

my first night here while hangin around in a nearby watering hole...i almost got picked up by a meztisa lookin wife of a local doctor...hahaha
proly their own way of welcoming back a long lost son of the city...( though i'm not that ez to get! hehehe)...nah..she was just too boozed up and stupid enuf to try to pick me up(yea..guys sometimes play hard to get...its not just the monopoly of women...tihiiii!

a stroll by the city hall streets yesterday gave me a lovely afternoon appreciating the several species of local ornamental plants in pots and in garden bags...some species i did recognize but most were simply spectacular and amazing..i dint realized the richness of the areas flora until that late afternoon stroll...dang! i should have brought my digital camera with me which i left in my quarters of our davao residence...

across the street are stalls that sell fried bananas( the breed for cooking not the one eaten raw and ripe)...turon and the ordinary ones sell at 2.50 each... i bought 20 pesos worth which the pretty lass placed in a brown paper bag and further wrapped with a thin red plastic bag..the locals call 'salopin'...

in another stall further next block are severals stalls for the beer crazed citizens...small cubed pork meat barbecue sells at a peso each and a big pile of it is ready for serving in the front long table...i swear i could munch down a hundred sticks of these..LOL

the regional center which was previously located in Zamboanga City has finally taken root here.. this was resisted by the city of zamboanga in its initial introduction during Cory Aquino's term...but only implemented recently during GMA's term after a much studied decision by the country's highest court of law...

the city is busy flexing its muscle for its construction industry and several big projects are on-going in the city's major streets.. a structure that you cant miss is the Gaisano Mall which has recently opened here... the rolling terrain of the city center makes it a formidable challenge for every architect who wishes to give his offering to the the art and science of building design and construction..yeah! flat ground is such a bore for us architects...

hmmm...and i got to stroll at the wharf area were several hobbyist were engaged in their fishing lines...they could get fishes like talakitok, kitang, and dangit! whew! mom got so interested with the fishes but i had to warn her not to disturb them as the sport required lots of silence for good catches!

stay tuned!(will be updated when the opportunity allows)
