Pacific Coffee Company

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

I’ve also been looking for something similar to the wonderful BoNa Coffee back in Manila (I blogged about my wonderful experience here last month), [...]

Supreme Court bans lawyers in small claims cases

Monday, October 20th, 2008

With not much attention from the public, the Supreme Court approved last September 9 a new Rules of Procedure for Small Claims Cases (A.M. No. 08-8-7-SC) which took effect last October 1.

The Rules introduced a lot of innovations one of which is the banning of lawyers in such proceedings. According to it, no attorney will be allowed to appear in behalf of or represent a party at the hearing, unless the attorney is the plaintiff or defendant.

How’s that for “fixing” our court system? Read more at Law Monitor.

Anniversary Dessert

Monday, October 20th, 2008

What’s an anniversary date with no dessert, right? Right. So, after our dinner at Equinox Restaurant, we walked all the way to Esplanade to have our toothsome fix. The 10 minute walk (or was it 15?) did us good, because as full as we were from our belly bulging meal, we were hungry again by [...]

Five Years

Sunday, October 19th, 2008

We turned five years yesterday. Five Years! Sometimes I feel like we’ve been together forever, but most of the time I feel like we’re still just a fresh couple. After five years, the flattery, the giddiness and the butterflies in the stomach are still there. There’s still a whole lot of pampering and mushiness. My [...]
