Punzi's Corner Blog: Still out of town...

This day in history from:

Still out of town...

My day yesterday started early. Woke up at 4:00 a.m. to get out of the house by 5:30 because of a hearing in Antipolo City (which I still consider out of town). Got out of there almost noon, not because I had a long hearing, but because my case was the 25th one to be heard.

Man, the case load of courts is begining to worry me...

And the heat yesterday... my car airconditioner was begining to give... hence a splitting headache when I got back.

Then, the deal I was pushing through is quickly falling apart... With the depression and the headache, I had no choice but to sleep it off. Could not handle anymore yesterday...

So now, I have paperwork backlog...

This is not going to be an easy week, judging from yesterday...

Wish me luck just the same.

So why am I still blogging?

Oh, I remember, the guys over at iBlog has invited me to speak at the Second Philippine Summit on 18 April 2006 over at the UP College of Law. When I asked what topic will I speak on, they said, it's up to me.

So now, I'm taking suggestions. Anyone?

Disaster relief, sustainable development & community service

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.
