Punzi's Corner Blog: A day of days...

Wednesday, April 19, 2006
This day in history from:

A day of days...

More than participating and helping fellow bloggers deal with legalities in blogging, iBlog2 was a chance to meet old friends, meet in person old blog friends for the first time and meet new friends. Indeed, a day of days... pardon my Chronicles of Riddick hangover...

Some pictures:

That's Rebecca MacKinnon from Global Voices Online delivering the keynote. Scouring through her profile, she did not mention her civil status... Tough luck! But I hope she's not married. Even if she is, I'm not the jealous type (heheheheheh...) This is probably the closest I will ever get to my dream Harvard Master's Degree in Law... sigh...

That's Manolo Quezon III delivering his usual brilliant piece on political blogging. A possible future Executive Secretary...

That's Jove Francisco, on leave from his Palace beat in attendance... with Dr. Ronald Meinardus in the foreground...

That's the great Dean Jorge Bocobo in the audience... I was privileged enough to exchange views with "the man"... his deep insight into Philippine current events and his love for Rizal... Sorry, sir. This is the only picture I got of you there... but Ajay got a good picture of us together.

Fellow Pinoy Tech Bloggers Clair Ching and "Supremo" Abe Olandres... million dollar smiles... literally...

Salivating over Von's brand-spanking-new iBook as he liveblogged the event here, here and here... drool...

Here's Attorneys Marvin Aceron and Bong Sison delivering the necessary lessons on libel and linking, the track I moderated...

And that's us getting our plaques for contributing to the event.

Finally met my twin Ron Allan...

Nice to have met all of you there. See you @ iBlog3!

2 Objection(s):

At 8:16 AM, Ronald Allan said...: Ey! You finally posted a picture of yourself! :-)
At 3:53 PM, Punzi said...: oo nga ano? But I don't think this is the first time...

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.

Side Oath

The Lawyer's Oath
I do solemnly swear that
I will maintain allegiance to
the Republic of the Philippines,
I will support its Constitution
and obey the laws as well as
the legal orders of the
duly constituted authorities therein;
I will do no falsehood,
nor consent to the doing of any in court;
I will not wittingly or willingly
promote or sue any groundless,
false or unlawful suit,
nor give aid nor consent to the same;
I will delay no man for money or malice,
and will conduct myself as a lawyer
according to the best of my knowledge
and discretion with all good fidelity
as well to the courts as to my clients;
and I impose upon myself this voluntary obligation
without any mental reservation
or purpose of evasion.
So help me God.
