Last weekend, at last, I had the chance to fix somethings at the house. The first thing I did was to arrange my windows and try this stylish yet affordable wood blinds. It is a payless decor that brought the natural beauty of of woods in my living room. It perfectly blends to all types of furniture and fixtures in house, with the added ambiance of nature.
In my last blog, i was excited when the Human Resource Department of the Office of the Solicitor General called me and informed me of my panel interview. On 02 February 2012, I did not report for work. I made an excuse that i had to go home in Bulacan for a family gathering. I was expecting that the panel interview is a whole day event, so better to inform my new office that I am out the whole day.
My schedule for the panel interview was supposed to be around 10:00 o’clock in the morning, but the OSG Justices came late going to the panel room. Out of the five (5) justice panelist, only 3 appeared – ASG Tang, Fernandez and i forgot the other justice; HR told me that the other 2 panel justices were on-leave and will be late. 
It was not the the typical job interview scenario. Questions revolved around rules of court, laws, jurisprudence, current issues and experiences. The first part of the interview started around 10:45am and ended around 12:15pm. I was later informed by the HR personnel that part two (2) of the interview will resume around 2:00 pm with Justice Karl Miranda.
When Assistant Solicitor General Karl Miranda learned that my panel interview that morning took quite some time, he made a statement: “That long? You are that interesting?” I took that as a compliment.The interview with Justice Miranda was intense. He asked questions from basic laws to complicated ones. We even tackled the issues on international laws, and the relation of the holy bible to man’s laws. I was asked if i passed his interview, I honestly said “no”, and i just answered “sir, give me the grade that i deserved”. I think ASG Karl Miranda is kind and accommodating. During the interview, he offered and gave me a cup of tea and a biscuit. And even after the interview, he let me have a snack with his lawyers and staffs. The interview lasted for at least two (2) hours, from 2:00pm to 4:00pm.
I had a feeling back then that I did good on my interviews..

Vanities are available in several affordable traditional styles, including Shaker, and may come in stained or timeworn painted finishes that add a great splash of color to the bathroom. Multiple styles, collection and finishes allow you to select the perfect vanity.
Ever since I was in law school it is a dream of mine to work at the Office of the Solicitor General (OSG), and that dream amplified when I passed the Bar examination last 2010.
Sometime on July 2011, I decided to submit a job application at the OSG hoping that i will get through despite the politics in the selection process. A few months after, or on September 2011, I received a call from the OSG Human Resource Department informing me that i was short listed and inviting me for an examination. It was not an ordinary exam. It was an actual case pending before the Supreme Court and we are ask to make our on Memorandum. I admit it was not easy. The candidates were given the whole day to make the Memorandum. I had a difficult time doing my research with books, and the internet connection was slow and intermittent. At the end of the day, I knew I failed to make a good argument in my Memorandum. But still, I was still hoping that they will find something in my Memorandum worthy of a panel interview with the Assistant Solicitor Generals. Year 2011 passed, and I haven’t heard anything from OSG.
When I almost lost hope, sometime on January 27, 2012, HR called me again and informed me that I’am included in the shortlisted applicants to undergo panel interview on February 2, 2012.

It would be nice to collect somethings that in the near future would be worth something. And if you found one, it would be a great collectors’ item. Take for instance the 1927 silver dollar. It may cost so little back in 1927, but to this date, it may worth so much higher. That is why i think and I suppose this makes this an interesting collector item. Take a look at this 1927 silver dollar, and from there, collect some more.
