I was in Metro Manila last Thursday and Friday (December 6 and 7) together with my good friend Atty. Alrey Ouano. We were there mainly for two reasons. First we had a meeting with Jurists administration to talk about the possibility of bringing Jurists to Cebu. Secondly, we got some Lex Pareto Notes books (Volume 2, 3 and 4) at our publisher, Cunanan in Recto since several bar reviewees in Cebu has ordered them. Our Cebu Pacific flight left at around 4:45 a.m. I always love to take the morning flights since they are so much cheaper than the day flights. Had we booked weeks before that we could have saved more. Unfortunately we booked 3 days before since we have to finalize the meeting schedule. We arrive in Manila at around 6 a.m. From the airport we just walked for more than a 100 meters to catch a jeepney to Kabayan Hotel at Pasay Rotonda. I have the courage to ride around Metro Manila in a public transport since I had stayed there for 2 years during my college days at the … [Read more...]

He produced the title and everything checked out The loan officer agreed to accept the car as collateral for the loan.The bank’s president and its officers all enjoyed a good laugh at the guy for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral against a $5,000 loan.An employee of the bank then drove the Ferrari into the bank’s underground garage and parked it there.Two weeks later, the guy returned, repaid the $5,000 and the interest, which came to $15.41.The loan officer said, “Sir, … [Read more...]

“Quantum mechanics is certainly imposing. But an inner voice tells me that it is not yet the real thing. The theory says a lot, but does not really bring us any closer to the secret of the Old One. I, at any rate, am convinced that He does not throw dice.” – Albert Einstein Whether we agree or not, we live in a world of order. Our world follows a set of rules and principles. The sun and moon just does not rise and set randomly, it follows a certain pattern. Seasons goes through certain cycles. What goes up must come down, and for every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction. Even how chaotic a system might be, there is always a certain “order” to it. Einstein’s quote above is often paraphrased as “God does not play dice with the universe” To recognize the existence of such patterns and to make use of them will be certainly to our advantage.
