I couldn't find a copy online so here it is -the OSG March as composed my Justice Magdangal De Leon.

OSG MARCH 

Sa Bayan naming mahal
Sagisag ka ng katarungan
Bawat antas ng lipunan,
Pantay-pantay sa karapatan 

Tanggapan ng Tagausig Panlahat
Katarunga'y ibandila
Ipagtanggol dakilang nasa,
Paunlarin itong bansa
Ang batas at ang katwiran
Sa landas natin ay maging gabay 

Tanggapan ng Tagausig Panlahat
Mabuhay ka kailan pa man

On Bar Results

Rumor has it that the results for the 2012 bar exams will be released tomorrow. Whatever happens, I just wanna say that I love UP Law and I would like to believe that all the graduates will be great lawyers.

As engraved in our school lobby:
"The business of a law school is not sufficiently described when you say that it is merely to teach law or to make lawyers. It is to teach law in the grand manner, and to make great lawyers." -Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

Sleep

I find it difficult to sleep when the power's out. I can't recall the last time before last night (Ondoy, perhaps?) but at that time I slept alone in my room while our parents and the rest of my siblings shared a big room upstairs.

There's a story that bugs just creeps me out until now. An R. L. Steine, methinks. It's about a kid who woke up to a normal day and finds the whole neighborhood suddenly so weird. A neighbor with a child of his (or her? I can't recall) age moved in and they became friends. His old friends never. called him nor dropped by his house. It was summer. He assumed they were out on summer camp. He found their new neighbor weird. People looked at them oddly when they were together. There was also something unnatural about the neighbor's parents. They never bothered to even greet him when he comes over to their house.

Turns out the protagonist was dead and the kid neighbor sees dead people. The dream in the beginning of the story was what really happened. The kid left some fire when they roasted marshmallows at home one night. Their house burned down he died in his room. All along he thought it was a just a bad dream. I'm not sure how it ended exactly but the idea still creeps me out as it did uhm, 10 years ago.

What if I wake up to a bad dream and later on find out that the dream was the reality, and the happy world I live in is the real dream? What if this is all a dream, and in reality there's a zombie apocalypse going on? Or we're being invaded by aliens. I'm not really sure. If life's but a dream, I haven't woken up.

A strange mix

I never thought that tea and beer could go together and make a nice drink. It's called the Heineken Green Tea drink. When a friend told me about it, I got really curious of this strange drink, and bugged her the whole afternoon to give it a try. Strangeness has always carried with it some charm. In the end she gave in and we went to the tea place right after dinner.

Crab balls or something, and tea

I'm no beer drinker, let that be stressed. Tried it once and I don't like it, except when mixed with something else like in a punch or shake. A little wine is fine with me too. Some food just taste great with it. So see, the taste (and texture, but definitely not the smell) is all I'm after.

Honestly, I don't get the idea of having "drinking sessions." Some people say it's not the alcohol that's good, but the company and the conversations while drinking. I don't get it. Let's talk when you're sober, over a cup of coffee or while having cakes and tea. I think what they're after is how alcohol can loosen up one's lips so they can talk freely. But when you're drunk, you're drunk and you fall asleep and have a bad headache the next morning.

Tea on the other hand is a drink I regularly have. It started last year when I tried out some teas my parents usually buy. Since then I always have my own stash. I like black teas, fruit teas, green tea; I love peppermint, but I hate jasmine. I enjoy my tea's aroma but there's something about the flowery smell of jasmine that tells me "that's a flower and it tastes like grass."

I guess that's how the idea of mixing tea and beer got me curious. An unusual mix of a drink that calms and another that sedates; one that I enjoy hot and another that is best served ice-cold; one that I like and another I don't (usually). They're mixed together to form this strange drink that's surprisingly great. It tastes like some weird calamansi juice -that's the best way I could describe it. I dunno where the citrus-y taste comes from but I like it.

I don't know if beer drinkers and tea lovers will like it. The idea sounds like sacrilege. But then what is sacrilegious in teas and beer? That is one strange idea. I like it.

It's supposed to be "green tea" but it's not green at all

Where's this Heineken Green Tea anyway? I got mine from Tea 101 located at Tomas Morato. :)
