Early Experiments with Photoshop

This is an early experiment I did for my wife using Photoshop. The picture was taken in low light with a point and shoot digicam. At the time, I thought that you could correct everything even if you had bad capture. How mistaken I was! Anyway, I think things turned out well in the end, and I still think my wife looks pretty in this picture.

Window Dressing

Funny how we've developed Filipino legalese and yet refuse to acknowledge its existence. For example, the term nagbibista seems like a throwback to the Spanish Audencia, but I'm not entirely sure. This notice, for instance, was last seen in the halls of Pasig's Regional Trial Courts.

Hotel Stays

I think I owe an explanation for people who regularly visit and wonder what the hell I've been doing. Well, here's a clue: I've been studying. :D

We holed up last week in Linden Suites to prepare a pleading for Public International Law. The footnoting of the pleading was really shabby, with shabby being an understatement. The important thing is that people had fun and were on the same page.

Oral arguments will be heard on Tuesday, with adjudication expected that same day. I hope to good god we win.

Signs of the Times No. 3

This is an actual drink stand in Shopwise Libis. Is it just me or is there something really, really wrong with this picture? Note the bloodshot eyes on the wily lizard.
