Champions are not made from gyms.

Champions are made from deep inside them;

a Desire, a Vision.

The will must be stronger than the skill.

Dear Students,

Congratulations!

You were able to enroll in my class: Hogwart’s School of Magic, Oooppps... Introduction to Law and Jurisprudence. In our class, a change in your lifestyle is inevitable. The things you normally do (txtn,chat,internet,dating?,dota,etc.) may take a backseat for your entire Saturday or weekend as the case may be: and the things you normally choose not to do – like read 200 pages for every class, you will be able to do. But, as they say “change is the only thing permanent in this world.”

So, brace yourself and join me for one semester of learning the LAW and hurdling the experience “just like LAW SCHOOL.”

Good luck and have fun!

MA'AM DAYE :D

HAPPY READING! Tira-tira! :D -ma'am daye

Labels: assignment, law, teaching

I am supposed to finish my homework for the comeback of the Boss on Monday, but here I am on a lazy mode.

I woke up early but stayed in bed until about 10:00am. I watched my Sunday habit:ASAP, having lunch in between. I had my merienda. I took an afternoon nap. At 6:00 p.m. I decided to read my draft. At 6:30, I decided to write an article about "Long Distance Relationships" and after a few paragraph I have decided to write a blog entry which will not require me of so much thinking..and this is it.

I am on a lazy mode.

I hate this feeling because I can't seem to move on and finish what I am supposed to finish.

I am on a lazy mode.

Probably, I am already tired. All my life I've been beating deadlines from work, studies, teaching and all else.

I am on a lazy mode.

I was thinking of means on how I can stop the time and extend this Sunday so I can still feel lazy a little longer before tomorrow.

I am on a lazy mode and tomorrow its gonna be another "Manic Monday!"

Sigh.
