Transition Complete

*Taken with a Canon Powershot A300

Finally, I got my Korg X5D synthesizer working on my beautiful iMac G5… Had to turn to the net for help. Since the Korg X5D was an “old” synthesizer, it does not have a USB port. So I had to secure a Yamaha UX-16 USB to Midi cable that [...]

Blog Lecture No. 40: Modus Operandi

With the allegations of a grand conspiracy to manipulate the impeachment proceedings, this lecture may be appropriate. But short.
What is the rule on past actions as evidence?
Section 34, Rule 130 of the Revised Rules of Evidence states:
Sec. 34 Similar acts as evidence. — Evidence that one did or did not do a certain thing at [...]

Blog Lecture No. 39: Verification

Let’s get straight to the point, shall we?
When is something verified?
According to Section 4, Rule 7 of the Revised Rules of Civil Procedure:
A pleading is verified by an affidavit that the affiant has read the pleading and that the allegations therein are true and correct of his knowledge and belief.
A pleading required to be verified [...]

Turned on the Anti-Spam

I beg your kind indulgence but I turned the new (or is it recently discovered only?) anti-spam feature of Blogspot. I think all of you in Blogspot should do the same.
So those who are fond on commenting on my blog, “I am sorry” for the additional inconvenience. I just don’t want to start my day [...]

Administration Blogger’s Change of Title

Just noticed recently that the administration blogger (or bloggers) changed their blospot from “Rational View” to the “Rational Shpere.” (again no link my friends, just look for it and exercise your internet research skills than rely on me to spoonfeed it to you…)
Took me a few seconds to figure out why.
Rather than present its view [...]

Cat out of the bag…

Thank God for people like Congressman Rodolfo Bacani for still having a conscience.
Of course GMA has each and every right to kill the impeachment complaint, when she feels it is technically infirm.
The problem is, impeachment, as we have pointed out, is both a political and a legal process. Yes they can all go through killing [...]

Finally…

Got my hands on an iMac G5. Thanks to all the people who made it possible. This would be a good diet tool because I would not eat because of it.
I’m exhausted from all that installation(s) I made today. Had to move my Pentium II-350 to my office, my trusty Duron 850 to my [...]

Admiviews bashing

Thank you, thank you!
That’s all I can say to the so-called “Administration” for finally putting up a blog of their own. I’ll let you google it up because I really don’t want to link it here. (Hint: Hunt it down from MLQ3’s blog…)
Now, everything is in black and white and we bloggers can now just [...]

Pre-Week is upon you…

To the bar reviewees, this is it. All those additional four years of law school and six months of review has come to the events of the four weeks ahead. To those who have been there before but failed, you know what I will be talking about.
For those who are completely off the loop, the [...]

Again for some personal news…

Well, had dinner, halo-halo and coffee with a very good friend yesterday. I picked her up from her house at around 5:30 p.m. and I was surprised how time flew. It always does that in the company of good friends, don’t you think?
For a change, the topic was not about me or my problems. It [...]
