internship chronicles (part 1)
i have not really experienced working... working as in a real job. after graduating from college, i went straight to law school. so that explains it. although i've been through several internships or on-the-job trainings, it still is different. i'm currently having my internship at the ongkiko kalaw manhit & acorda law offices in makati. as compared to my previous internships, this is internship is, i could say, the closest i can get so far to a real job.
i attempted to go home to valenzuela after office, but i felt really tired after driving through the horrendous traffic in the metro. so i decided to just stay in palme starting last tuesday. the experience has been great thus far. besides the usual research stuff that the lawyers give us, we get to tag along with some hearings and go out of the office from time to time to go to the prosecutor's office or the court. i'm also enjoying the company of my co-interns, peewee and leah. after my first week at the office, i can say i'm really enjoying. probably because of the working environment in the office.
more of my internship adventures... Ü

some "interesting" stuff...
- parking costs 115 for the whole day. gawd, and i thought the 40-peso parking fee in rockwell was iniquitous
- i walked from the office (located near greenbelt 1) up to rockwell last wednesday. call me crazy but i had to because i can't get a cab to ride because of the so-called rush hour, and i had to get to get to rockwell the soonest possible time because there was a send-off dinner for the summer interns. it was OVERLY TIRING!!!
