8 Odd / Weird / Extraordinary Things about Me:

1. I am an unintentional Super Nerd. I spend 80 % of my time and energy studying. Yet, I hate reading! Just that, academic life requires me to be.

2. I am more of a hearty person rather than a brainy one as people perceived me to be. I love Irrationalities and Logic bores me. Postmodern, as they say.

3. I do not eat three times a day. I know it is against an Economic Policy of the State but it does not suit me. Whenever I eat, all the energies will be focused in my stomach and none will be left in my brain. Consciousness left idle, I usually get into sleep. I will never do my nerdy stuff.

4. I love Consistency. Say, Green. My towels, bed sheet, fluorescent light, table, chair, trashcan, school stuff, etc are all green. It does get over sometimes.

5. I live like an Amoeba whenever I am home in the province. I don’t go out in the house, just lying down on my bed 24 hours, don’t take a bath, and sleep on my own grease.

6. I truly hate ugly people! For me, the physical aspect is just as important as the others. It’s not being shallow but merely being complete or holistic. If you are a close friend of mine in real life, you must be gorgeous.

7. I am a super fan of the late President Ferdinand Marcos. I want to be one of his lawyers and I want him to be a national hero someday. He is one of my ultimate idols. His brain cells are amazing, not just excelling on the speculative aspect but equally on the practical as well. Truly, an inspiration!

8. I think Law is for the normal-headed persons. It lacks depth; worse, they merely represent the whims and caprices of the Justices of the Supreme Court, who are too confident of their thinking and writing ability. (Have you read the Rules of Court and some of the decisions of the Supreme Court? They are bad literature.) Not everyone, of course. An example of an exception to the general rule was the former Chief Justice Panganiban and his writings. If Philosophy started with Aristotle, Law was stuck with him. (Maybe because part of the Due Process Requirement is Notice. There would be no meaningful notice if the people won’t understand the law. Maybe that’s why I think that it is for the normal-headed persons.) But it does not mean I am good at it. I suck in memorizing and professors usually prefer verbatim answers!
