This day in history from:

First day of work

I forgot to mention it.

On 06 November 1995, barely a month after taking the bar, I reported to work in a lawfirm in Makati. Hence, I have been working for 10 years, though officially, I'll be 10 years into law practice on 15 April 2006.

It was the first working day after Typhoon "Rosing," the last storm to squarely hit Manila came over. The lawfirm that hired me had this big IPO project for a reality company. Hence, all the lawyers were out so I just worked on the office LAN. The office lan will be another story.

As the day apparently drew to a close, I was called to this client's offices to help with the IPO efforts. The one who called me was to be my first boss, Atty. JJ Disini.

So what seemed like the end of my first work day turned out to be just the beginning. Pulled out an all-nighter working because apparently, that storm blew open the sliding doors of the penthouse and took away various condominium certifates of title into the Pasig River.

Total time logged for the first day: 26 hours. JJ was already staying at a room there for days, so his logged time was way longer.

And that would be only the first of the all-nighters I would have in my 10 year career. I already blogged about my Makati-based life in this post.

Side Prayers

PRAYER FOR GENEROSITY
Lord Jesus,
Teach me to be generous,
Teach me to serve You as You deserve
To give and not to count the cost,
To fight and not to heed the wounds,
To toil and not to seek for rest,
To labor and not to ask for reward,
except that of knowing
That I do Your Holy Will. Amen

THE LAWYER'S PRAYER
May every word I speak be from Your Truth...
I ask come from Your Wisdom...
May every case I handle receive Your Guidance...
May every heart, every life I touch, feel Your Love.

THE JABEZ PRAYER
And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,
"Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your Hand be with me,
that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain."

So God granted him what he requested.
