Emotions

I cannot measure how I am emotionally.

I know I am competitive when it comes to sports and the likes (Conflict of Law proved this). Pero I can accept defeats.

But as to being carried by emotions easily, I am not sure. There are movies or even TV shows that can get me teary-eyed. But it varies.

As to getting frustrated, it happens to me. Yes, there are times I get frustrated with myself. Yes, I do get frustrated with others labi na if apil-apilon ko na wala di ai koy labot. There was a time I was really frustrated with another person but all is well. He got my point.

Yes, I got disappointed as to the few reactions I got from an unexpected person. He cannot blame me. In the end, he was able to say his piece and so did I. Kana laging taas ang expectation bah! Maybe I had my expectations, too. I expected that if he had doubts as to my personality, he should have confronted me sa una pa lang. Oh, well.

And just today, as I was making our Affidavit-Complaint for Legal Forms, I browsed through the some-kinda controversial Answer that another group made for us.

Medyo ok na ako nun. As much as I can, I do not ask favors as long as there are still things that I can do about it. But I do grant favors whenever I can. Pero if wala, so be it. Lessons learned.

So, the story goes like this. We made an error as to the jurisdiction of the complaint we first made. When I found out about it, I asked the other group if it was all right to have it changed, just two or three words - from RTC to MTCC. So, ok they will discuss it first. At first, he said OK. But, then, looking at their answer, it would affect their jurisdiction. So, huwag na lang.

I was frustrated but I said my piece na. I do not care if other groups made concessions with one another. Ayaw ko talaga mamilit.

So, ok. They submitted their answer. I did not look at it until today.

I found out that we forgot to affix the signature of the affiant in the verification and that our document number was repeated. So, that was part of their defense.

Fine. We overlooked some stuff. We made a mistake.

But I just have to say my piece.

I am frustrated. Sure, if time comes when we are lawyers, we would have made the same defenses as to such overlooked stuff. I cannot blame anyone who makes a career out of these legal forms.

But it just shows how a few do not make concessions. Do not worry. I am not asking that we affix our signature or change the document number.

Siguro, we just cannot expect that people will act the same way we do. Actually, I really do not expect such. But when it actually happens, reality hits you.

No matter how nice you act to another person, do not expect that such person will always be nice to you or that such will be reciprocated. Since this was a classroom setting pa, so konting respeto lang na mainform kami beforehand sa aming errors or magkaintindihan o mag-usap lang gud.

Siguro may point din iyon na pag lawyers, ganito man din talaga ang gawin mo. Pero hello! Amicable settlement is preferred baya!

I do not take this against the whole group, only just one person and he knows who he is.

Kapoy makipagplastic. I will say my piece to him and then, I will be all right. I will continue to treat him with kindness. Ok, try to treat him with kindness.

I just have to write this because I am having a difficulty making our affidavit-complaint thinking about this. Kelangan ilabas. Kanino ko ilabas? Sa aso namin? Kaya dito na lang.

I think ok na ako :)
