My prowess in reporting is now gone. Thanks to law school.
Last Saturday during my Administrative Law class, I gave a report about a case involving the validity of a Certiorari and a Prohibition. I was seldom nervous when reporting back in college. I also seldom make hand gestures. But not last Saturday. I was nervous, seeing most of my classmates staring at me. I was sure I made a lot of hand gestures, too, and swatted an imaginary mosquito with my handout. But, what's worst was that I was not able to answer Judge Sabio's question.
So, if the Certiorari and Prohibition will not apply, what would?
I bowed my head down, as if finding the answer on the papers I was holding. But I knew the answer wasn't on any of leaves I had. I bowed my head to avoid eye contact with the professor. Good thing, some classmates made the right guess.
A Declaratory Relief.

I am sure that there are about 30 students in that class, including me. But last Saturday, when I attended my Seminar 1 class, there were only nine of us sitting inside the room. And I am more than sure that less than the nine students were even listening attentively.
They are taking the for granted. Okay, WE are taking the class for granted.

Watchmen
When the Saturday class ended at half past five in the evening, I met with Vintage. We had dinner of carbonara and a pound of burger at Cajun. Then, headed to SM North where we watched Watchmen. I didn't enjoy the movie. It just proves that I am not into sci-fi films. Not even sci-fi anything. Though I'd say that Watchmen's cinematography is very artistic. I like the impact of the punches.

DOTA
I thought I will never like the computer game Defence of the Ancient (DOTA). But it turned out that I might like the game and be hooked with it. So, I might go with the flow after all and leave "gito 2", my Cabal character, to it current level for a while. Well, I'll see.

Two weeks from now, San Sebastian's law students will be having their final examinations. And I haven't developed an effective study habit, yet. I should, quickly.
I need to pass this semester and move on to the next one with a new set of subjects.
At this point, I am not aiming for high grades. I am aiming, only, to pass.

So, the thread that was so thin and fragile is now repaired by silence about the matter.
Sometimes, a problem doesn’t need to be talked about to be solved.
Silence can be the clearest explanation.
