"my doorbell" ~ the white stripes



on arrested development this morning:



Gob: This is a courthouse bar, Michael. These are professional, aggressive women. They’re looking for nothing more than a one-night stand. No real names and no promises.
Michael: I’m not a one-night stand kind of guy. I don’t like lying to women.
Gob: These are lawyers. That’s Latin for “liar.”



i miss tv.

thursday morning i went to the other side of the oval to submit jowein's LOA forms. at palma hall i was suddenly overcome with a weird nostalgic feeling. i decided to pay propdv a visit.



"parang may bago sa 'yo..."
i thought, god, could he really tell i've been lousy with my life lately?
"you look a lot younger, para kang undergrad freshman! nag-gy-gym ka ata eh."
relief. i said, "no sir, just regular lawschool diet of five million codal provisions a week."

he told me how philcoa is extremely dangerous and i shouldn't go home later than 6pm. no jogging around the oval past dark, there's apparently a girl who was thrown into a parked van but got away because she was slippery with sweat and very athletic. he advised against being too involved in very activist organizations (but i guess not with very activists org-mates, right?)

he's starting this website, for OFWs to have easier access for redress of grievances. he's even aiming to have congress pass a law requiring people leaving to work overseas to sign-up for membership in this "make sumbong to filipino authorities" website. and that's prof. de villa for you. always doing something to make this awful country a little bit better.

friday morning, i was accessory to a seminar for women. our speaker, a very prolific public speaker, talked about laws affecting women in a sort of mandarin-toned barok filipino-english. i was his interpreter.
