My 3rd Year Combo Meal

I never really put much thought in the classes I bid for this semester. All that was important for me is that I had ample time in between classes and that I wouldn't have any class scheduled during the weekend. It wasn't until my blockmates saw my Form 5a and made violent reactions that I realized what I got myself into. In the end, the circumstances made me decide to just stick with what I got in the bidding.

Needless to say, I have a VERY stressful sem, and I'm not expecting (although I'm hopeful) that my choice of professors will do my GWA any favors. In spite of this, however, I still think I made the right choice, because so far I find all of their teaching methods to be effective. In addition to that, my professors turned out to be a really interesting set of characters. It might be just me but I find myself laughing in class everyday, so somehow, my professors reduce the stress I suffer from studying for their class. :p

The following are just a few of the things they did that made me laugh. Please, inform me if these are indeed funny or if my stress is just getting the better of me. For my classmates, feel free to add :)

PIL

Day 1: I will take a volunteer for the first case..(first case recited)

Now I will shuffle the cards (everyone holds their breath)

Oh.. I think I left my class cards. I will just call on volunteers for everything. (the class rejoices)

Day 2: And now I will shuffle the cards (everyone holds their breath)

Miss... Jane Doe*? (*not the actual name, no one stands up, the class is confused)

Oh, I think I brought the wrong class cards! (everyone laughs)

End of Day 2: I know I have been saying this, but I DO intend to shuffle the cards next meeting.

-0-

I will assign an additional case. Add Missouri versus Holland. You just Google the name and then a digest will appear from Wikipedia. (Kaloka)

-0-
(Discussing Agustin v. Edu)
Okay, so the rectangular symbol is internationally recognized... (Sir draws a triangle on the board)


SUCCESSION

(Discussing Montinola) The question here is whether or not there was animus testandi, the relatives were pointing to the last few lines in Mi Ultimo Adios, "to thee I give all to my relatives and loved ones", as a dispostion..

There is one part which I love in that work... (for the next ten minutes, he recites each line of that part in Spanish and then in English, and just as I was about to fall in love with the words of Rizal...) WILL BA YOWN!?!?!?!


TAX
So what is something about you that will impress the class?

A: Maam,I can make a sketch of a person in just about an hour, complete with shading.

Really? Sample nga! (the girls just smiles and sits down)

No, I'm serious! Marami pa naman magiintroduce, so tamang tama mga one hour yun. (the class just laughs)

(after a few others introduced themselves) Oh, are you making na the sketch? I was serious! Bilis, gawa ka na.

-0-
(Someone just finished reciting a difficult case, and the cards were being shuffled; the class was silent) Miss X? (the student stands up)

(Maam stares at her for about five seconds)

I think I have to go to the restroom.


TRANSPO
(First day of class. Sir was late for almost an hour)

Okay, class, first I want to get to know more about you. Introduce yourself, give me your name, undergrad course, tell me why you want to become a lawyer, and then give me your favorite quote or saying.

B: Sir, my favorite saying is, "Time is Gold"

I'm very sorry for wasting your time.


NEGO
(Discussing free trade, after being distracted with some IEL writings on the white board)
So are we saying that trade is bad? Okay, let's say we stop trading all together, the Philippines says to the world, screw trading! Um! (makes a big F word sign)

-0-

(A student was reciting)
O, effective ba pag raradyo? Makinig ka kasi, sinabi na nga niya e!
(a few moments after)
O, may pinapabasa sa'yo katabi mo! Ano ba yang pinapabasa mo? Tama ba? Malinaw ba sulat mo?

-0-
What is consideration?
(Student recites Art.1278)
That's compensation! Look, they both start with a c, and end in "tion" but they're not the same.

Mimay vs. MMDA

Blehbleh - Paulit ulit na pag explain lung bakit ako hinuli na may hint ng paghingi ng lagay

ROUND 1

Kakatapos lang ng USC GA. Masakit ang ulo ni Mimay :( pero kailangan niya sunduin ang Kuya niya sa kanyang opisina.

M: Hay I'm such a good sister. Dumdidumdum..

Medyo nacoconfuse si Mimay sa Ortigas, pasikot sikot, madaming one way, etc. Sa kabila nito, naabot niya rin sa wakas ang street ng opisina ng kuya niya.

M: Wait a minute! Sabi ni kuya, magpark daw ako sa 7 eleven.. Hmm Ayun! Ayun ang daan! Left turn!

WANGWANG! WANGWANG!

M: Ayun na ang 7 eleven! magpapark na ako..

WANGWANG! WANGWANG!

M: Ano be itong police car na ito! Can't he see I'm about to park!? Baket niya ako sinasalubong?

*Tumigil ang police car

M: Wat!? Ano be natripan pa mag park na nakaharang saken!?

*Bumaba ang officer

M: Oh..... Oh no!

E: Maam, lisensya lang po?

M: (Taas kilay na binigay ang lisensya)

E: Maam, one way po dito, no entry po dun sa pinasukan mo.

M: Ha? There was no sign! (Nag aattempt i-english to death ang MMDA Officer)

E: Maam, may sign po ang laki laki pa po. (Tsk hindi gumana)

M: If there was a sign then I wouldn't have entered the street.

E: Ehhhh kasi po... bleblebleblebleh bleh.

M: I just said I didn't see your sign.

E: Eh one way nga po dito blehblehbleh bleh bleh

M: I know what one way means. What I'm saying is I didn't see your sign, If I did, If I had known, I would not have passed this street! Okay?

E: Blehbleh bleh bleh bleh

M: *MEOW* (Sinubukan ang silent treatment)

E: Blehblehblehbleh bleh bleh.

M: *Kulisap*

E: *Kamot ulo (Effective ang silent treatment!)

M: *........

E: Ah, may pinunta po ba kayo dito?

M: Oo. Susunduin ko ang kapatid ko diyan (pointed to the building)

E: May opisina po kayo diyan?

M: Yes. Tatay ko may ari. (SINUNGALING! Haha)

E: Ah.. eh.. bleh bleh bleh

M: *MEOW

*Tinawagan ni Mimay ang kuya niya

M: Kuya, bumaba ka na dito. Tinitiketan nila ako! (Sumbong mode)

E: Blehbleh. Hintayin na lang siguro natin ang kapatid mo.

*Bumaba ang kuya ni Mimay

Kuya: Boss, baka naman pwede pagbigyan niyo muna yan?

E: Eh kasi po, blehbleh bleh bleh bleh..

Kuya: Bago lang po kasi nadayo yan dito, Laguna pa po yan galing (Binan ang nakalagay na address sa lisensya ko hehe). May pagka-mahina rin po yan sa direksyon eh.

Mimay Moments in UP Law

Date: July 12, 2008
Account: Multiply

Mga bloopers ko sa law. Hopefully, hindi na madagdagan ang listahan na ito.

Mimay Moment #1
Nagaaral ng maigi si Mimay para sa Legal history, nabasa na niya ang kalahati pero maraming facts na kailangan matandaan (bilang history) kaya inabot siya ng umaga. Dahil 6 meetings lang ang Leg His, gusto ni Mimay magpaka-bibo para sigurado na may grade siya sa recit..

Mimay: Alas-9 pa lang, konting aral pa..

Pumunta si Mimay sa school ng mga alas-10, para makapag-aral pa siya sa lib bago mag 1st class (Consti), Sa lib..

Mimay: Aral aral aral aral
Annika: Uy, Mimay, nag-aaral ka pa?
Mimay: Oo, ang dami kailangan tandaan eh..
Annika: Nag-cut ka kanina?
Mimay: Huh..? Aral..
Annika: Nag-cut? (Makes a cutting gesture)
Mimay: Bakit ako magcucut, eto nga nag-aaral ako eh, di ba after ng Consti ang LegHis?
Annika: Kanina pang 8..
Mimay: @_@
*****
Mimay Moment #2
Persons. Hindi pa natatawag si Mimay sa Persons. Medyo naiinis na siya dahil aral siya ng aral at hindi pa siya tinatawag at mukhang pare-parehong tao na lang palagi ang tinatawag.

Mimay: Hay.. Walang sense ang pagpeprepare ko. :(

Dala ni Mimay ang laptop niya, na may digests na ginawa niya para sa recit, sa kabagutan, napagdesisyunan niya maglaro na lang ng EGGS

Mimay: Wee!
Prof.: What about Ms. Gonzales, Andrea Monica?

Hindi narinig ni Mimay ang tanong, kaya napatulala siya ng isang saglit

Mimay: .....
Prof.: Answer my question directly!
Mimay: The points in Goodridge?
Prof.: (irritated)

Sa kabutihang palad, nakatsamba si Mimay
*****
Mimay Moment #3
Method. Dahil 15 minutes before time na at may nagrerecite na, kampante si Mimay na hindi siya matatawag. Isa pa, maganda ang pakiramdam ni Mimay dahil binigyan siya ng magandang kumento ng Prof. sa simula ng klase. Naisipan ni Mimay tignan ang kanyang cellphone.

Mimay: Hmm...
Lester: (txt) may Memo sa Trinoma SM North, Glorietta..
Prof.: Ms. Gonzales!
Mimay: Huh..?
Prof.: Do not text while someone is reciting. You should listen to her, she volunteered
Mmay: Yes sir.. :(
