Day: March 8, 2008

    I guess  you get a comment like that when you’re semi-comprehensible, half-literate, about to pass out, while writing your blog post ha-ha.

      An opposing counsel on cross once asked (in trying to ask a witness whether she fainted), and in a loud, slow, emphatic manner, you know,  the orator-kind; he bellowed:  “And so…did you …pass away?” 

     …objection, witness has not been qualified as a zombie.  

        I kept quiet, i didn’t even laugh, you’d be proud of me. (eh kasi naman ano, “did you faint” na lang.)

    I haven’t  posted anything; maybe in the afternoon; maybe. Everything takes up much time, just  going from one point to another across the  metro takes up a lot of time; things are easier planned than undertaken, the time it takes to perform a task is ten times or a hundred times longer than the time it takes planning or thinking of doing it. Of course. Like; pleadings don’t write themselves, you have to look up all the cases  opposing counsel cited then you have to put together all the cases you need; and even after all that is done, on certain days it doesn’t write itself; it writes itself a day before the deadline ha-ha or  when your boss  starts talking  to you in hard copy.

       [something writes itself when it takes ten  to thirty minutes to write  (the editing, much later, takes an hour) and there’s a beat to it and people buy it;  of course that shouldn’t matter, it wrote itself. something.] sleepy.

     later, gatorade… (see what i mean?)
