The Bangus Ultimatum

And all of you can re-evaluate any information concerning my demise

I had originally hoped for a lightweight, “agile” bar review that will help me prepare for the basics as well as help me keep my life (on- and off-line). My fellow barristers will probably agree that the bar just doesn’t do lightweight. The bar examinations are so bloated and ponderous that preparing for it acquires its own gravitational pull.  Soon enough the whole thing implodes into itself, and what you have is a hungry maw sucking in time and space and sleep and lots and lots of paper.

I’m done with reading law books (for now). I am far away on my first real vacation since April, and I’ll just blurt out all the acknowledgments I can think of.

I’d like to thank Ruby, my girlfriend, for bearing with me during this difficult time. I could not have made it through the whole thing without her. I don’t say that merely as a turn of phrase. It is the truth in the most forensic sense of the word.

I’d like to thank my family for supporting me through it all.

I’d like to thank Julius and Teya, my fellow inmates in Cell 4-D, for helping me slog through all the work. I’d like to thank Mon and Remir for all the useful tips and encouraging words. Thank you to U.P. Barops 2008.

I would like to thank the academy – the U.P. College of Law and all our teachers for shaping us up all these years. Thank you Florin for finishing the Consti outlines (even if it very nearly killed us all). Thank you Professor Te and Dean Leonen for being there for us during the bar exam month.

I would like to thank (and say sorry) to all my friends. I will see you guys soon, and I promise to answer all your email and accept your facebook invitations.

Well, there’s sleep debt I still have to pay. Good night, guys!
